Well, I can't get Netflix. But I can download webrips. So I'm happy.

Same for BSG. But at least that you can just try to forget the last episode and the rest was pretty tremendous.

They financed "House of Cards", an adaptation of a UK political series, moved to Washington, starring Kevin Spacey recently. Pretty good. Also seem to have partnered with a Norwegian company to produce "Lilyhammer", about NY mafiosi, Steven Van Zandt, hiding out in Norway, which wasn't bad.

AMC was just doing what its name suggests, running old movies, until they started with Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Walking Dead. So this model can produce good stuff.

You don't have to kill them. Just unplugging their Internet connection would be enough, Then padlock the door and wait till they knock on it and ask to be let out. How long could that be? A week at the outside?

I don't believe the bullshit about then fending off SWAT teams anyway. That's what they say on their own website. No government really cares about spam enough to send in a SWAT team. It's all "protected commercial speech", and plenty of assholes in government are happy to let them do it. If they gave a shit, they know who is DDOSing and exactly where they are. They could arrest them. Freeze their bank accounts. Turn off their electricity, water. But they do nothing.

Are they supposed to investigate every entity that wants to create a domain name and see if there is an infringement? That could not be automated. If you make the registrar responsible for any infringements then they will have to charge thousands of dollars for each domain to pay for the due diligence, or get sued bankrupt.

Its the entity that orders and uses the domain that is responsible. Anyway, trademarks are not locks on words under all circumstances. Google any fairly common surname, You'll find dozens of trademarks using it, in different locations and trades. All can be quite valid.

People are thinking about the big names, it's the millions of small companies with trademarks that make this absurd.

No. That logic would mean that a signwriter, say, who was asked to make a sign that infringed a trademark would be liable. ICANN can't be responsible for checking that every domain that someone orders is under some trademark or another.

But ICANN are bloodsucking jerks who are fucking up the whole domain name system by thinking of more and more ways to make people think they need more and more domains, when any .com would do and free subdomains if you needed them. With random TLDs they're creating a system that makes it easier for scammers to create deceptive and infringing names. But that's capitalism.

Yeah, but the Starfleet logo was designed years before that episode aired. And there was no mention of "Cochrane energy curves" in that episode anyway. I'll bet there was nothing about it in the original series bible either.

Bollocks retcon. They used it in TOS, long before Cochrane was imagined. No mention of this idea at Memory Alpha.

Starfleet insignia
The Starfleet insignia is a number of distinctive, slightly asymmetrical, arrowhead-shaped pennants adopted by Starfleet as its identifying emblems, used on starship hulls, installations and some uniforms worn by Starfleet personnel.

Not "rage". Just noticed a few other things after I read TFA (since I was responding initially just to the summary error).

Yes, it's a "logo". It's not the "Star Trek" logo. (i.e. the logo of the show/series/franchise). It's the in-universe logo of Starfleet.

PS2: And it's not the "Star Trek logo", which consists of the stylized words "STAR TREK", but the Starfleet arrowhead emblem.

PS: TFA had it correct:

Some moron thought he'd "correct" it.

Plural of "aircraft" is -- "aircraft".

Ubuntu has a command line, as many as you want.
Every distro does.Just open a terminal.

It just has a lot of glossy tools as well.

It's hard to get a more hands-on Linux installed and working correctly for a newbie. Ubuntu is pretty foolproof to install. Then you have an environment you can learn in.
