On the Futurama commentaries, Matt Groening mentions that he's particularly amused by the various jobs held by robots. For example, robot gangsters: who would build a robot gangster?

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: If the Wachowskis had been forced to make only ONE sequel to the Matrix instead of the full trilogy, and had kept only the best parts of Reloaded and Revolutions, that would have been a kick-ass film.

Bravo. (Slow clap.)

Okay. Thanks. Now you can rock me to sleep tonight.

Having total geekgasms over this, and wish it were launching now. I find the Sun to be by far the most fascinating object in our Solar System, and it's likely to be the only star we get to examine up close during my lifetime (and possibly well after that).

Probably worth pointing out that Spock's death in STII was originally supposed to happen much earlier, when Khan first attacks Enterprise, thus becoming more of a driving force behind Kirk beating him.

@EmpressZombie: "I have a couple of tips I use that seem to help..." I don't photograph well in general, but if I use these tips I look much better.

I don't consider myself a particularly unattractive guy, but for whatever reason, I rarely photograph well. So I have a couple of tips I use that seem to help:

+1000.

Just from a few comments here, I notice a trend. Back when Deep Space Nine was on, I followed a Usenet fan group about it. (Don't worry about what "Usenet" is, kids.) Each time a new DS9 episode aired, many new comments were posted, falling fairly evenly into two camps:

So one thing I seem to be getting from this, if I'm understanding correctly (It's over 20 years since I switched my college major away from physics), mass is required for an object to accelerate or decelerate. (Probably because those actions require energy, and if there's no mass, there's nothing for the energy to act…

When I first read about neutrinos, I read that they were massless. Now a quick check of Wikipedia states that neutrinos have a mass that is "trivial, but non-zero", which has been confirmed by experimentation.

So many good ones in that movie. I keep remembering them. One Kirk line that is absolutely perfect in Shatner's unique delivery:

Even better from Wrath of Khan (in my opinion): Khan has taken over the Reliant and has the Enterprise on the ropes. He demands the info on the Genesis Device or he'll destroy Enterprise. Kirk pretends to be looking it up (needing to put on his glasses, much to his chagrin) but instead is looking up the prefix code…

I prefer Trillian for IM, mostly because I can jump from chatting on my work PC to my iPhone to my Mac at home seamlessly. The people I'm chatting with don't even see a change, and I never get the annoying AIM warning that I'm signed in in two locations. (They also have a web client, though I haven't used it.)

"BTW, hasn't anyone made a demon/VD snark yet?"

What, no mention that Myka wearing the giant headphones was a take on Princess Leia's cinnamon-bun hairdo from A New Hope? Can't believe I'm the only one who saw that.

Also, Wil Wheaton reported on his blog that he sprained his ankle pretty severely on the first day of shooting Up In The Air, leading to some on-set scrambling to accommodate him. [goo.gl]

Hmm... MST3K's take on "Devil Doll" is on Netflix streaming. Queued.

OK. Between your comments and this interesting series of behind-the-scenes articles at IGN [tv.ign.com] I see that it's a full reboot.
