You obviously haven't watched it in a LONG time.

Star Trek: Phase II is a labor of love, and it's insulting to call the performers "shitty". YOU put up hundreds of thousands of dollars to make one of these things. You'll have more of an appreciation of the work that goes into it.

And, they just don't have the money to hire many real actors, because they have to be paid a certain amount of money based on the time they spend working due to SAG rules. Not-for-profit productions just can't afford to use SAG actors on a regular basis.

Just for full disclosure, I was crew on two episodes: "Enemy: Starfleet" and "Kitumba".

There are now 6 released episodes, and one vignette. There are another 4 in post production with another episode slated to be filmed next summer. The quality of the show is much improved over the course of the shows, just like ANY show.

The first few episodes of TOS and TNG were nothing like the quality of later shows.

Give the later shows a try. You might like them better.

The problem with the Edubook is that you can't buy them retail. The shipping cost for one unit is $50us. You need to buy the unit in bulk to get the shipping cost reasonable. Nohrtec doesn't seem to care that these units get into people's hands. they don't have them in a U.S. warehouse to ship single units, and they don't have an American distributor. These are inexpensive units great for use on-the-go. They aren't power user machines. But good enough for E-mail, browsing and as a media player. And they can always be upgraded with a faster CPU in the future. Nohrtec just doesn't know how to market.

I suggest you check the Battleground Poll, question D3 which has for the last decade recorded approximate 60% of respondents as Conservative. You might wish to be red-faced with the projection your message demonstrates.

I am Roman Catholic by birth. But, am not a practicing Catholic now. I believe in Christ and God, and do my own thing. I think children ought to be taught the strictures in the Bible like the Ten Commandments, and major stories. It's interesting and I believe it to be educational. I don't believe that the Earth is 5000 some odd years old, and don't know anyone who does. How anyone came up with that figure is beyond me. I don't believe the story of creation in the Bible is 100% accurate. I think it's just a story. It was handed down orally for generations. Who knows how much it changed from the first telling when it was finally recorded in writing? I'm sorry to say that I don't take the entire Bible as gospel truth. I think there is a lot to learn from it as there are from lots of other spiritual writings. I think portions are inspired by God. I don't think the genealogies are. The Gospels surely are. I think the New Testament has a lot of good lessons in it. But, I don't think that even the New Testament is a 100% accurate recording of the events of the time. Nonetheless, I think that all the different creation myths should be taught in schools. Kids should also read the Greek and Roman Mythology. The American Indian Myths and Legends, the Asian Myths and Legends. Kids should be exposed to a wide range of things to spark their imaginations. Kids should also read the Iliad and the Odyssey, and other classics. Kids used to. And then someone dumbed down our curriculums and decided these things were too difficult for kids. They weren't too difficult for dozens of preceding generations... Our children need to be exposed to the beliefs of 99% of the citizens in the world, not the lack of of belief of 1%. That's "Tyranny of the Minority". Nowhere in the American Constitution does it guarantee citizens a right to being unoffended. Adults have to develop a thick skin and be tolerant of the beliefs of others. If people don't want their kids exposed to the classics. Maybe they need to homeschool them, or register them in a Private Areligious School.

The entire education system in U.S. has a very left bias. Our kids are being indoctrinated, not taught. This is good because these textbooks return facts to the books. The left wing bias of most posters here is disconcerting. You all post as if your minority view is the correct one. America is a Center-Right Country. Always has been. Our kids need to be taught facts, not leftist ideology and indoctrinated with lies and bias. So, any movement to put facts into textbooks is a good one.

well... then, what I read was wrong. There should be no reason an iPad should need a computer for setup.

From what I read, no external computer is required for setup. And you can download stuff via WiFi or 3G. A computer is optional.

Those buying a PS3 as a computational machine probably don't care about PSN.

Erosion is a natural process and isn't caused by "Global Warming". Global Warming isn't happening as the data says we've been cooling since 1998. Global Warming isn't responsible for that Island being covered by water, but storm action can be.

Actually, that's the first few notes to the Slinky song. Since Eudora existed before Ren and Stimpy aired. The Log commercial was a parody of the Slinky commercial.
