Well, I read its because they couldn't trademark "Sci Fi Channel"“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV) -

The number of smart businesspeople in this world is overwhelmed by the stupid ones, I'm afraid to say. Good thing that most can still get by with a minimum of business sense because their competition is no smarter.I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891Comment

Heh.
I will attempt to forget, for at least a moment, that "Syf" is the Polish word for "total bloody mess." (It seems to have its roots in the lesions of syphilis.) And "Syfy" would be, well, the plural."In the beginning was the Word. Then came the ******* word processor." -Dan Simmons, HyperionComment
