Who got the geography test my students failed so miserably 3 years ago? 

[Grey Fox]

I think my ipod is dead.
Whats a good alternative since they're not making them anymore?

They still make ipod. You need hdd space? Get a Touch.

Just watched a clip from Bill Maher's show. I think it's rather inconsiderate to expect the guests to sit there for the monologue. Every once in a while, the camera pans to one of them unconvincingly trying to laugh politely.

[Norgy]

Maher isn't funny, I think.

Paramount sues Star Trek fan film, lays copyright claim to the Klingon language (among other things).

Haven't they used it in several episodes of The Big Bang Theory too?

Star Trek & Big Bang Theory are CBS shows.

Heh. I always get confused by who owns what in the Star Trek world. Still, IIRC they use it only very infrequently in the TV shows, compared to the movies (which is what Paramount owns if I'm getting this right).

Wouldn't the Klingon language be copyrighted by Marc Okrand?

Alstom is giving out free pie for Pi day (it's 3/14 in American nomenclature.)  Will they be able to top this for May the Fourth?

(I think this would be an odd place to work if you weren't an engineer...)

April 20 would also work. Well, not much work would be done.

Heh, if only our offices were in Colorado.

I once saw The Smashing Pumpkins at Hill Auditorium on the campus of the University of Michigan.  The show was on the 19th of April.  As I was leaving the theater I overheard a couple students talking:

Student 1:  Are you going to skip tomorrow?
Student 2:  Why would I skip tomorrow?
Student 1:  Everyone's skipping tomorrow, it's 4/20.

I remembered thinking that was quite different from my own college experience.

Nazis?

How does Languish pronounce it then? I go with the hard "G".

Also, apparently I have been pronouncing "data" wrongly, although I swear I heard it pronounced "day-tuh".
