Actually, according to its creator, it was "Horatio Hornblower In Space".

Still managed to win a Hugo award, though.

On behalf of the rest of the Slashdot readership, I humbly invite you to bite me.

I would have gone with "I just leech Cowboy Neal's wifi" myself.

Well, just so you know... I visited Guangzhou last week, and left there at roughly EOB on 30 April.

Put that little logical capsule in your Nespresso and see what gets poured into your mug.

I have mod points, but Slashdot has no "-1, Full Retard", so I'm posting instead.

Also from the BBC: China says no to amateur weathermen: "You may not be able to control the weather - but you can control the forecasts.".

Sounds like you haven't a clue as to what rsilvergun was talking about.

Thanks for that. Fortunately, our differences were settled years ago, and she's never tried to keep me from communicating with or seeing our daughter. They and my wife met for the first time on this trip we've just returned from, and everyone got along great, much to my relief.

I think that depends on whether you're using the Chop, Mince, or Purée setting.

To be fair, while she left me, I'm the one who ended up leaving the country. Didn't intend to move away permanently, but that's how it seems to have worked out, at least for now.

I suppose the person who downmodded the parent is not aware of a few key facts:

-The Bali Nine got busted where and when they did because the Australian Federal Police tipped off the Indonesian authorities.

-The AFP did this knowing full well that at least some of the Nine would face the death penalty there.

-Had the AFP waited to apprehend Chang & Co. upon their arrival in Australia, the latter might all be serving long prison terms today, but would still be alive.

-In effect, the Australian authorities circumvented that country's lack of a death penalty by using the Indonesians as executioners.

Feeling a bit different now about what cyborg_monkey said? I would hope so.

No! Death to all fanatics!

I just want the increasing resale value of my home to be an increase in certain other currencies as well. The euro is not amongst these. Would rather not say right now what the targets are, though--prefer to keep those cards close for the time being. :)

It would also be nice if my child support payments hadn't increased ~15% over the last 2-3 years in SEK whilst remaining constant in the currency my ex and our kid use. One of the perils of my exciting transnational lifestyle, I suppose.

I carry ~$500,000 worth of unrestricted personal liability coverage as part of my homeowner's policy, which runs me ~$500 a year total. (Amounts converted from SEK.)

I keep seeing people making this exact same quip without providing any evidence that there is any such guarantee. "I think I sound clever" and "They have an app" don't count.
