Stargate: Atlantis Renewed!

Thanks to wraithfodder for giving an immediate heads-up to this article in Variety, Sci Fi renews 'Stargate Atlantis'! It's a full order, 20 episodes! Huzzah!

(So do we start writing to Joe Mallozzi now to beg for the return of a favorite character? Or is that simply a lost cause?)

Search for Spakr, P-P-P-Powerbook, and Turing Machines

All these items are absolutely trivial to any of our lives (except maybe the third) and yet must be shared.

First, I'm taking a few minutes a day to learn Old Norse (shouldn't everyone?). I'd like to say I'm good at languages, but in reality, I have to work really hard at them. So I was staring at vocabulary this afternoon, repeating each new word and its definition five times, trying to make visual associations for each, until I came to "spakr"( Read about spakr )

2. ETA: I first posted without credit and then realized how I got there: from a comment by suitablyemoname on a comment to a post by delphia2000: The Powerbook Prank, a saga in four parts. I recommend it highly. All of it. Most of us can only dream of such exploits!

3. Oh, and before I forget: the 2,3 Turing Machine proof has been done, the prize has been won. Just don't ask me to explain what it means. Apparently, it's really cool, but I'm having trouble wrapping my head around some of it.
