It wasn't exactly a new market. MS Office actually originally was a Mac app. In fact, part of Apple's lawsuit about Windows when it first came out was based on the fact that MS employees on the Office team (pre-Windows 1.0) kept asking technical implementation details about how Apple did various GUI elements, when

Yeah, he pretty much sounds like what you'd think a guy from Toronto named Gary Lee Weinrib would sound like.

A single camera comedy uses one camera that can move around. They generally don't have an audience or a laugh track. Community is an example.

A surprising number of people in Rochester, NY do. I'm amazed at how many houses have those little gray dishes. The local options are Time Warner cable, Dish, or DirectTV. TWC sucks in a lot of ways, but no more here than any cable company anywhere. I don't know what the dish appeal is.

With seamless branching on DVDs and Blu-Rays it's not even that hard to do and it wouldn't even necessarily take up that much more space (depending on how many scenes have new effects). It's a feature I really love on the ST:TOS Blu-Rays. I actually like the new digital effects, but it's nice to know that if, say, I

I don't know the reason why it was delayed relative to the rest of the Star Treks, but DS9 is coming in October, so you've only got to wait a couple weeks now. I'm watching it on Amazon though (since I already had Prime). I really hate how Amazon Instant doesn't have a queue except for purchases, so I have to search

Short answer: No
Medium answer: Not natively at least
Long answer: Ohio is kind of in a dialect crossroads. Cleveland is Northern Cities (a dialect band that runs basically Western NY to WI) Most people would kind of call it nasal sounding. (My wife is from NC and finds it really grating.) The southeastern parts of the

The ENT mirror universe episodes straight up take place in the mirror universe with the full cast. It's just showing us events in that universe during the ENT time period. It had different credits (showing man's conquest of space instead of man's exploration of space) and everything. But they do use the Defiant from

And then there's the bit where they bring out the immigration lawyer and tell a sob story about some separated family and then they get their papers or something. I'm guessing based on nearly zero Spanish. It's bizarre and kind of endearing.

Are you posting from the future? Only TOS, the TOS movies, and the TNG movies are on BluRay. Else I'd have them all too. They could release ENT on BluRay at any time if they wanted, and they're working on remastering TNG like they did with TOS, but alas, not yet.

What about using some sort of collapse to like ratio (optionally with a threshold)? Like, if 4 people collapse a comment but 20 like it, then don't collapse it or at least put it in a manual moderation queue, but if 20 people collapse it and only 3 people like it, then leave it collapsed. Maybe even allow users with

I know some people hate Enterprise, but they did try to cover the non-warrior thing in "Judgment". Archer's advocate lamented that in his lifetime honor had become redefined so that only warriors could achieve it, and the system was corrupt and hypocritical.

I've not seen the episode in a long time (forgot to catch up on Netflix for this week), so I'm probably just defending a bit of stupid writing, but could it have been in a cadenza? Sometimes there are specific traditional things to play in a cadenza, but they're open to doing whatever the soloist feels fits.

The thing with "axe a question" is that it's a real historical thing in English. In Middle English some areas used the verb "aks" and some used the verb "ask", but the latter won out except in some low prestige dialects, so it's funny that in the future it's switched.

Star Trek also aired on NBC, but it was produced by Desilu, which was later bought by CBS-Paramount.

Interferometry is also how they make all the dishes in radio telescope arrays like the Very Large Array (VLA) act like one single giant telescope.

The original Moneypenny (Lois Maxwell) was 58 by the last Bond movie she was in ("A View to a Kill"). That's a bit on the old side for a hot young secretary. But they've recast with younger actresses several times since then, so the "dowdy old" doesn't really work.

"Nobody Home" is not 100% about Barret. It's got a lot of Barret in it, yes. Like the Gohill's boots and obligatory Hendrix perm. But the bit about a silver spoon on a chain and grand piano to prop up my mortal remains is about Rick Wright.

@Clueless Neophyte: the codec was actually originally called DiVX;-) with the little winky face at the end, as @I am Curious Oranj said, as a pisstake.

Preparation Heche wins. Yes, KTMA was the Twin Cities area UHF TV station that MST3K was originally on before the Comedy Channel (later Comedy Central) picked it up.
