Since Gmail Manager 0.5.3 doesn’t work withe Firefox 3 any more (or at least not right now), I’ll switch to Gmail Notifier 0.6.2.2, which supports 3 just fine.
Just found this:
You want to build your own Ubuntu based livecd, having the complete control over the installed software but you don’t know where to start? Minibuntu is here to help you!
Minibuntu is a fully working Ubuntu livecd containing only the minimal set of software to make the system work. Minibuntu ISO image is only 138MB.
After downloading minibuntu you can use Ubuntu Customization Kit, Reconstructor or any other tool to remaster the ISO and add the software/configurations you want, building your own Ubuntu based livecd.
This surely fills a gap. :)
After Jacqueline McKenzie already spoke of costumes being sold (Dec-12-2007) etc. it didn’t look well for a possible Season 5, now the end was confirmed (Dec-18-2007) by Scott Peters (Creator / Executive Producer).
“4400” averaged 1,424,000 viewers in USA’s target 25-54 demographic last summer, well shy of its other original series “The Starter Wife” (2,343,000), “Burn Notice” (2,334,000), “WWE Raw” (2,273,000), “Monk” (2,253,000) and “Psych” (2,197,000).
It did however rank above fellow Sunday entry “The Dead Zone” (1,385,000) which likewise is not expected to return.
Now we’ll never know if Collier would have succeeded with his movement (and how). The end of S4 was just a starting point for me – for one of the most intriguing stories ever told in a TV show.
There were so many factions (the marked, government, 4400, p-positives – to name a few), thus offering nearly endless combinations. Some other shows may have pointed in that direction, but none (I can recall) actually ever did it. Showing the world changing (I’m not saying this to judge if for better or for worse, the audience might have learned that too – or should I say would have had the opportunity to decide for themselves) big time. Other shows picturing a different society (e.g. Star Trek) are already past that point of development, never during (a.k.a. done several times before, therefore less interesting). Because of this, I think of The 4400 as a much better series as the somewhat similar Heroes (which deals mostly with self-made problems).
The 4400 started slow, developing over every season, fueling into this arc (although it’s hard to say if the writers intended this twist from the beginning – however, this doesn’t even matter!). It’s many questions were both interesting and gripping. Should someone take the shot? Was Shawn’s approach the right one or Collier’s? No easy answers to stuff like this! Everything lesser than this might be entertaining too, but finds itself more likely inside the category “already seen before”. I actually asked myself what ability Tom Baldwin would have gained. Thoughts of that kind arise only if you care. The show could have kept going for 2 more seasons easily. Season 4 demanded a continuation more than Season 3 did, thus showing how cruel the world is. It had the best episodes of the entire series. The network should decide to realize at least a movie as conclusion.
Once more the wrong show was canned.
You miss pine? You need it? You are not alone! Yes, the waiting ends here (wasn’t developed actively since 2005). Upgrade to Alpine 1.00. They are even “holding” a version for Windows.
