MPAA is concerned with motion pictures, not the written word.
If memory serves, it was "authors of america" or some such bunk organisation.

Listen to "Sean Locke's 15 minutes of misery" sometime. A radio comedy from the 1990s.

One of the characters is a PRS dream come true.
Who?
So, we're back to the pre-global warming "We're due another ice-age" 1970s doom-mongering eh?
Never mind, since then, we've inadvertantly added a few blankets. We'll be fine.
At least until the ice-age ends. Then we'll be really in trouble.
Doesn't mean the gravitational waves aren't there.
Maybe they've just got the detection method wrong.
The electromagnetic force holds everything together. It's the main force that explains why things are as they are. Why you are solid, why you can't walk through walls, etc.
With a magnet, the electrons in the iron (or other magnetic material) are aligned. They all rotating around their atoms in sync. So they attract other materials that can alter their electron's orbits easily, like more iron.
When a lot of atoms are all magnetically aligned like that, the force adds up. When the atoms are all higgledypiggledy, there's no magnetic force.
(Not exactly correct from a scientific standpoint, mainly because electrons don't orbit, they're a probability function, but it's ok for kids if you draw a few diagrams)
There's only one just "The Doctor"
The EMH doesn't qualify because he's called the EMH. They don't say "computer, activate the doctor" do they?
I can't believe no-one's mentioned...
Dr Huffuhhrrrhrrh
(or however he spelt it, been a while since I saw that film)
Doctor Who predates the ORIGINAL trek by about 5 years.
You can't really offer opera 10 as a fair comparison until the final version is released.
The pre releases probably contain a lot of debugging information (which naturally bumps up the size quite a bit)
Where in europe?
The latest Lost episode is on sky one this weekend. It's only a 3 day wait.
(not that I don't agree, I downloaded it too)
Sound recordings in the 1950s were adequate quality so invest in some vintage vinyl.
Rip it, run it through a scratch and pop removal program, mp3 it and play that to the horses.
50 years, then copyright expires, so she can go and get any old record published before 1959 and play that without hindrance.
They take her to court, she screws them for libel.
But slashdot doesn't have an upside down font.
Change which I will resist to my last breath.
Education is what's needed, not bowing to the ignorant.
The word remains unmodified though.
You didn't say "It was broadcasted yesterday" did you?
