[scifinoir2] Settlement Reached in BlackBerry Dispute

Wow, given the number of Blackberry users (three million and growing), and the billions of potential dollars to be made in the future, RIM got away with a deal. But for NTP, a smaller company whose founder already died, I guess it's about not wanting or being able to wait for years in court fights.

RE: [scifinoir2] What would you do?

Jesus Christ! Don't look a dog in the eyes, but do look a shark in the eyes. Hit a shark, but don't hit a dog. Amazing how many old wives' tales and country folklore got it wrong! As far as being still when attacked by a dog, does that apply to wild animals like bear and mountain lions? I remember

RE: [scifinoir2] Anybody Remember This Scifi Series

I really don't remember that. Lucky, maybe? But it does sounds a bit like a show you might have seen one Saturday, Keith, as it's part of PBS' Saturday "BritCom" block, called "My Hero". Similar character, but he came to Earth to capture and exile a criminal from his home planet, where everyone

It was a silly, throwaway unoriginal show about an alien sentenced to—you guessed it: hard time on Terra. He had superhuman abilities, but needed to develop his “humanity”. Accompanied by an AI companion, he had lots of interesting adventures on Earth. It’s not so much that the show was terrib

Well, I agree. The problem is most Americans don't know about the sims that are run all the time. I've spoken to several people over the last few months who didn't have a clue that sims are run on that level. So to many the tapes are actually somewhat of a revelation. But as you're suggesting, t

Keith: I really hear what you are saying. I don't put as much emphasis on the tapes because I think that it's important to keep a broader perspective: the Hurricane Pam simulation was run in the summer of 2004. That computer simulation -- which included Federal, state, and local officials -- p

[scifinoir2] Re: Anybody Remember This Scifi Series

I agree with you there! In the wake of the FX craze following "Star Wars", shows like "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century" and even the original "Battlestar Galactica" were more about the effects and space battles than the plot. At least Galactica and a *very* few others were sometimes intelligent.
