I'm currently at What the Hack, and just a few minutes, somebody screamed, "We're on Slashdot!" Overall cheering ensured. It's really, really great here. Get some pictures at Flickr or read about it at What the Planet. And please, don't /. our wiki. Pretty pretty please.

they should have the right to influence something like this at a private function like the Oscars. This doesn't strike me as provocative or unscrupulous in and of itself.

The main fan site for Star Control has, for as long as I can remember, been The Pages of Now and Forever. It's got all sorts of Star Control related stuff (information, extracted music, fan art, and various other stuff). It's a good place to find information and news about Star Control (all three of them), and meet other fans. (Sadly, the SC community is not what it was five years ago, but it still exists. Slightly Offtopic: anyone here remember Guillaume's Star Contol message board?).
