I think they're pretty young.

Stelter graduated college in 2007.

If he was 21, that means he was born in 1986.

So he would have been 8 when TNG went off the air.

But they could have looked him up in Wikipedia. :-)

Which totally mentions the Star Trek role.

I remember it, it was 1977. I think Levar was 20 years old. I was 9. Star Trek: The Next Generation ran 7 years from 1987 - 1994.

The writers Noam Cohen and Brian Stelter obviously aren't Star Trek fans!

I thought of that too. How many years ago was that?

Re: Lessons from the changes in Twitter (Scripting News)

"What if prostitutes are operating on Twitter?"

So be it. Not Twitter's (or Craigslist's) problem. All types of people have used classified ads in newspapers to conduct all types of covert or open business. Are the re-publishers to be held responsible if some of those businesses were illegal in any of the municipalities the paper was sold? No. Should either company be compelled to quash fireworks advertisements because they're illegal in some states?

"What if a major act of terrorism is organized using Twitter?"

Frist: we'd never know about it. Second: Somebody is first going to have to give a very clear and precise legal definition of "Terrorism" before any crime can be applied. The current efforts are unconstitutional and un-American. The framers of the constitution who wrote the first and second amendments had no intention of a term "domestic terrorism" to ever be coined and would spit their teeth if they saw "free speech zones" , "warrantless wiretapping" or "enemy combatant". These are the exact tools of tyranny they were rebelling against. Like it or not, our constitution gives us the right to publish, organize and discuss, through peaceful protest or armed revolution, the overthrow of our own government without it's interference. Fearing government control of public discussion and publishing tools is not something this country is about. Even if recent misguided trends are to the contrary. Our 3rd President Thomas Jefferson comes to mind specifically: http://bit.ly/aRalU

Your point about putting all of our eggs in one Twitter basket is spot on. Thankfully there are many other publishing mediums on the internet we can utilize should Twitter begin to rot.

I'm sorry that the article linked here is no longer online. In their infinite wisdom the beleagured newspaper giant The Sun-Times has decided that articles it publishes online will only remain online for 30 days then they're removed. /facepalm.

I'm attempting to get a copy of the article from the author.

In the future I will keep my own copies and archives of the articles to republish.

Damn, out of all of that, the one that hit me the hardest is cursive handwriting. Will that really become a lost art? And wow, should we really examine if that's a good idea? Strange.

Wow, this is pretty cool! And if you have a Gizmo account you can make it work with it (Gizmo uses SIPphone). AND it also appears to work with Phil Zimmerman's ZiPhone Voip encryption software for super secret squirell action!

LOL, word on the tweet. The last 50 seconds from Cheryl Burton are classic starting at 3:43 "Military officials have expressed concern that Terrorists could use micro-blogging services like Twitter to communicate" Good Grief!! Please, France, Sweden, Japan, liberate us from ourselves. We've lost all semblance of reality here!

Sheldon Cooper, the character from the show The Big Bang Theory agrees with Kyle Lacy, as is evident from one of his tweets today: http://twitter.com/sheldoncooper/statuses/10695...

There are people out there who actually believe that bicycles have absolutely no right to be on the "street" and therefore the people riding them on the road are flagrantly violating the law and are in the way of the only rightful vehicles to use the road; cars and trucks. These people also believe motorcycles are not actually allowed on the streets either. I used to come across them regulary.

This past summer I got honked and telled at twice to "get on the sidewalk" while riding down a street that actually had a marked bicycle lane. One of these idots got caught at a light and I got the chance to correct his stupidity on the subject.

I think it has something to with where and how that Quicktime components download gets installed. Troubleshooting now.

Just FYI, here's the error I'm getting in my console log. I *think* it might have something to do with the download of Quicktime Compression Library for Automator mentioned in this article but I"m not sure.

"11/4/08 11:53:31 PM ConvertTV[1510] No application name for definition file at path: /Library/Automator/Office.definition
11/4/08 11:53:32 PM ConvertTV[1510] The action â€œInitiate Remote Broadcastâ€ could not be loaded because the application â€œQuickTime Broadcasterâ€ was not found."

I hate to say this, but I've tried this 10 ways to Tuesday and can't get it to work. It seems something in the script has the wrong idea where the Quicktime files are. What version of the Mac OS was this tested on?
