Per CNN: "President-elect Obama has chosen ex-Senator Tom Daschle to be Health and Human Services secretary"

The Stevens campaign would have to take from its legal defense funds to pay for a recount if the margin is greater than that. AP calls it: Begcich defeats Stevens 1 down, 2 to go.

In regards to the 2001 Hallways, is it confirmed those are the hallways of the Enterprise? I think we can ASSUME they are, but not for sure. Everything else is within tolerable limits to me. Although, the Enterprise being built on the ground is a little annoying. but once again, do we KNOW that is the Enterprise? (EDIT: the original trailer confirms it is the Enterprise)

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 06:30 PM) One thing those everday workers need to realize is that they are going to have to make concessions on their union contracts. The unions along with upper management pushed for the bad direction of product lines and unrealistic employee payment plans. I see no way that this economic situation is going to be fixed with endless bailouts. I was driving around today and I thought: Unions are one of the great things about America, and one of the worst. It's great they dont let management run all over them, but too often the take too much power.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 05:48 PM) I think the Star Trek reboot is going to be a good one, the preview looks pretty awesome. I think Star Trek would do a wonder of good to take about 5 years off. Chill out, then come back and do a series of movies. Ditch TV for right now. I think they could be a very successful movie franchise if they just chill out for a while.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 04:24 PM) Great movie. I don think it's great, but it's enjoyable. I have various classes of movie. One of them being "enjoyable", which means it's not bad enough for me to turn off if it's on TV, but not something I make a priority viewing or want to own.

My thoughts: It looks great, but I have to actively suppress the fact that it looks way more "techie" than the original series. And since it's before the original series, it's kinda odd. But I have to factor in that the original series was done in the late 60s when VFX sucked. If they could completely redo the original series, it would be bad ass. So, when I factor out TOS, it looks great.

This is for all my fellow Trekkies out there. The official first trailer for "Star Trek 11" is out. Link Thoughts?

Just connecting the dots. it's rather rare for opponents to meet like this so soon after an election. Well, we know for sure they will be working on energy independence together:

Obama's got real smart tech people around him... they'll figure out a way to make it work.

On the podcast I mentioned, they brought up an interesting point. I think anything coming IN goes on the public record. So, imagine a scenario when an Obama GF from high School or college or even a prankster, sends an e-mail where she's like "hey, remember that time we totally got wasted on booze and crack? yea, then we did it all night long in the library, yea... that was great. Congrats on the presidency". Well, that's now on pubic record... even if it's 100% false.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Nov 17, 2008 -> 11:12 AM) Anyone have any guesses as to what Obama and McCain are talking about right now? Any chance McCain has a formal role in the Obama administration? I have a theory it's a preliminary meeting to see if McCain would want to serve in Obama's cabinet, but it's disguised as a meeting of rivals (especially since there will be other people in the meeting). The "official" idea being pushed by the press is that they are meeting to see if they have some areas in common where they can work in tandem. Such as energy independence, how to make a more efective and efficient government, and one other that is slipping my mind.

FOr those who are interested, listen to this weeks This Week in Tech podcast. They had a great discussion on this. One guest, Jason Calacanis, had a very interesting idea on how he could still use e-mail but limit what comes in and who gets in. Basically, he suggested a system when when you send Obama an e-mail, you get an e-mail back telling you that this will go into the public record, do you want to continue? If you say no, your e-mail is destroyed and never reaches "public record" or the president's in-box. The other option was to limit WHO can send you e-mails. Make a list of acceptable senders and you know your correspondence is limited.
