consists of Star Trek, Serenity (which I also have on DVD and HD DVD), and Doctor Who Series 6. The reason it's so small is because I'll only buy a Blu Ray if: a. it's on offer, 2. it's a film that has enough awesome special effects to justify being in HD, and d. I don't already own it.

Not really the kind of people we want to use to seed life on another planet. Perhaps they could set up the first colony on the Sun instead...

It's coming out on Thursday on this side of the pond :p

Your ideas intrigue me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter

I returned an Iphone 3G in this spirit. "I don't know any other phone were I can't resent or forward a text message".

Their platform, but not their machine. People had bought those machines and Sony decides to break them.

Thank you for your clear explanation ;) Maybe old-germany was the root of icelandic, the long word such as 'Eyja-fjalla-jokull' could be made.

Hmm, sighted over California? It must be the second coming of Xenu.

And why exactly do you think the explosion was in any way related to your wi-fi?

Point 1 - I bet that a good percentage of people that use their electronic devices on airplanes do not consciously turn off wi-fi.So far I haven't heard of any plane accidents that were attributed to wi-fi transmissions.
Point 2 - Lufhtansa for a while actually advertised wireless connectivity on their airplanes for web surfing during long-haul flights. At the time it was a bit expensive and extremely laggy so I only used it once. But they definitely didn't discourage it.

Right.... If Batman can do it, why not Officer Murphy?

checking your account every few days is only prudent.

Not unless you're unemployed and therefore have a lot of extra time on your hands...

Honestly, if I have to watch my bank account like a hawk to have a debit or credit card, I'd stick to cash exclusively, and the good old monthly statement... I don't know about anyone else, but the "convenience" of a credit/debit card is pretty damn small to me.

When I read the headline I was certain it was referring to the time required to complete a single game of Civilization. I just concluded a single-player civ4 game on standard speed and spent around that amount of play time. It's certainly a change of pace from games like Starcraft where 2 hours is epically long.

Yes, and I think this makes the point. From a corporation's point of view there was never any guarantee that an artificial meat product would be welcomed, since so many PETA-types would object on basically irrational grounds. This was a barrier to commercialization, since manufacturers didn't know if the product would be rejected by PETA even if it did substantially decrease cruelty to animals. To pre-empt this, PETA basically had to go to war with itself, making it clear that they /had/ considered the issue and the consensus was that artificial meat would be welcomed. It wasn't unanimous, but it's much better for PETA to fight this out /before/ a product is developed rather than after.
