2/11    Is anyone watching Caprica.  Is it worth it? Do you like it?
        I recently started watching SG:U and it's not bad, oddly.
        \_ Not watching either; oddly trepidatious about Caprica, and
           SG:U lost me at SG:A. However: reviews of Caprica sound good,
           and at least one excellent hard SF writer (John Scalzi) is
           writing for SG:U, so... maybe worth checking out?
           consulting for SG:U, so... maybe worth checking out?
           \_ You should know that it was in the contract stipulation
              for working as a writer for SG:U that you could have never
              written for SG:A.  Atlantis was that bad. and they know it.
              SG:U is pretty good, if you like moral ambiguity, will to power
              and examinations of people striving for power.  Plus it has
              Begbie.
              \_ So you directly contradict this? http://tinyurl.com/yzka2hh

                 > back to kick off the new series,
                 \_ Yeah, I work in the industry.

        Sometimes Larry H Parker. I'm in Southern Cal. What

        \_ Hurry up Kim Jun *THE THIRD*, you're way behind!
        \_ Iran also packed tens of thousands of rural poor onto buses,
           drove them into Tehran, and had them pose for pro-gov't. rallies
           by promising food, drink, and prizes, then declared themselves
           a popular, democratic country. And I declare myself king of the
           moon. Doesn't make it so.
        \_ Nuke it.

        What you should look for in a marriage partner. Get this, you want
        someone who is BOTH conscientious (makes sense) AND neurotic (!!!).
        \_ Married men don't live longer, it just seems longer.
           \_ Married men do live longer, but they are a lot more willing to
              die.

2/10    Our president hung out with moot at TED. When an office hoser
        said 'pics or it didn't happen' she replied 'pictures
        aren't allowed at TED.'
        \_ Maybe those pics aren't for you to see.
        \_ What's "TED"?
        \_ *yawn*
