Us Carbon Units like the money ðY

I can see your point there. I too do not have a cable TV sub and refuse to get one. I still think its worth having an antenna. Case in point: during Hurricane Sandy, internet and cell service died in our area. The power went out also, but for us it came back on the next day. The rooftop antenna from the 1980s that i retrofitted worked perfectly and we were able to watch TV without needing an internet connection. There is a case to be made for OTA. Also its free... unless you live in the UK. Then you have that retarded license fee thing :-|

Wouldn't that be Xenix?

If I were you, I would go with Linux Mint. I really like cinnamon, and it's pretty user friendly; it's also a lot nicer to use than the abortion that is the unity desktop. I'm using the debian edition of Linux Mint 64 and it's nice to not have to deal with linux release cycles.

Before using linux mint, i was using debian 6. Stopped with deb 7 because of the unity desktop nonsense. Debian is really great otherwise, but might be a little annoying for new users.

Whatever distro you use, I would definitely use one that maintains the traditional desktop paradigm of a start(ish) menu with programs and a customizable desktop with icons that launch files and programs, etc. :-P

I wonder if they have tried turning it off and on again. Making sure that it's plugged in of course....

"Threshold" would be another bad choice... or "Code of Honor", "Angel One", "A Night in Sickbay"..... Stay away from those :-P

Don't forget the anti-protons.... That shit fixes everything!

There's also an episode of B5 where you can see someone step into the 16:9 frame, but because it was outside of the 4:3 shot, they left it in. Incidentally, B5 should get a remastered makeover. The scenes that have live action and CGI look like crap.

Weren't we warned about not not landing there? :-P

HAM radio isn't halal :-P

I hope this is included in some future South Park episode LOL.

As long as we don't get a rehash of "Threshold", I think we'll be fine.

A mass effect type dialog tree might be in order perhaps. I don't know how they could implement something the way the game engine currently stands.

Concerned woman: Listen, I've heard that this factory will be making the chemical that poisoned Seveso.
Jim Hacker: Now that's not true. The chemical in Seveso was dioxin. This is metadioxin.
Woman: Well that must be virtually the same thing.
Hacker: No, it's just a similar name.
Woman: It's the same name, only with 'meta' stuck on the front.
Hacker: And that makes all the difference.
Woman: Why, what does 'meta' mean?
Hacker: (baffled) What does 'meta' mean, Humphrey?
Sir Humphrey: It's quite simple. It means 'with' or 'after', sometimes 'beyond'. It's from the Greek. In other words, with or after dioxin, sometimes beyond dioxin. It depends whether it's the accusative or the genitive. With the accusative it's beyond or after, with the genitive it's with. As in Latin, of course, as you no doubt obviously recall, where the ablative is used for words needing a sense of 'with' to preceed them.
Bernard: But of course there isn't an ablative in Greek, is there Sir Humphrey?
Sir Humphrey: Well done, Bernard, well done.
Hacker: You see?
Woman: Not really, no.
