Summer Glau to Appear on BBT! (Source)

This has been a big week for The Big Bang Theory's nerd herd. First, they score their best ratings ever, and now they're getting to rub elbows with frakkin' Summer Glau!

The Sarah Connor Chronicles siren will play herself in the March 9 episode, the set-up of which already has me ROFWLing: A train trip to San Francisco takes a major detour when Leonard, Sheldon, Wolowitz, and Raj discover that their favorite sci-fi actress in all the land is on board. But the fanboy frenzy quickly gives way to a heated mass debate (tee-hee) when they realize one of them will have to approach her -- but who?

It's not too difficult to figure out how this cheeky cross-over came about, provided you know this little detail: The Big Bang Theory and Sarah Connor Chronicles (which returns this Friday) are both produced by Warner Bros.

Well, what happened between them in this latest episode is a bit further than anything else, so they can't just shrug it off. Or I hope they can't just shrug it off.

Yeah, he "caught" feeling for her :laugh:

He shrugged off an entire successful girlfriend, so I don't really know if the writers have some sense of purpose with the things that they do.

Leonard's mother annoyed the crap out of me :/

That was the point? :unsure:

^ me too. And she would be better as the mother of sheldon...

Sheldon wouldn't be that odd if his mother was like that. It would be the family style.

Anyone else think that CBS should do a Big Bang Theory/How I Met Your Mother crossover? I wonder what Barney would think when he meets Kaley. Hmmm

Don't think it would work. The series have totally different tones. TBBT is all about "cartoon" style storylines and has no regard for continuity, the characters are over-the-top exaggerations put in surreal/nerdy/geeky situations. Don't see how Barney would work in there. And then would they simply ignore the emotional scarring that comes with it? :laugh:

A TRAIN TRIP TO SAN FRANCISCO TAKES A MAJOR DETOUR WHEN THE GUYS DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL SCI-FI ACTRESS SUMMER GLAU IS ONBOARD, ON "THE BIG BANG THEORY," MONDAY, MARCH 9

Dr. George Smoot, Nobel Laureate and Father of the Big Bang Theory of Creation, Also Makes a Cameo

CBS to ask for 2 More Seasons of BBT

CBS is to sign a 'mega' renewal of The Big Bang Theory and Two And A Half Men, reports Variety.

Three new seasons of Two And A Half Men will reportedly be ordered, while The Big Bang Theory will secure a two-season deal.

The renewal will take Men into its ninth season and Big Bang into its fourth.

The deal is rumoured to be part of a settlement between Warner Bros. TV and CBS following their dispute over Men last year, which resulted in a lawsuit being filed.

The Big Bang Theory currently airs on CBS on Mondays at 8pm, while Two And A Half Men goes out at 9pm.

    • DriversCloud 12.1.6 by Razvan Serea With DriversCloud (formerly My-Config.com), you can explore your computer easily, safely and free. The application quickly scans your PC and identifies the hardware and software components. DriversCloud then establishes a list of the different drivers compatible with your OS and hardware. Download the drivers needed for the proper functioning of your computer. To detect your drivers, DriversCloud also displays a detailed summary of your hardware and software configuration, analyzes your BSOD, monitors in real-time your PC voltages and temperatures and lets you share your configuration online. Once the hardware components have been detected, you will be able to obtain with just a few clicks the latest drivers corresponding to the identified hardware. You can record your configuration on the site for free, and can get the corresponding URL to post the configuration to technical forums, e-mail and social networks. You can also download the detection result (the configuration) as a PDF file. To protect the user's privacy and data confidentiality, a 4-level confidentiality system was created that filters the XML marks and gives control to the user. The default level can be modified in the preferences. Using the maximum level will prevent the user from publishing his configuration and generating a corresponding PDF file. In non-connected mode, each XML configuration is stored on the server for one day (for practical reasons). However, you are given the opportunity to manually delete it. Created in 2004, and continually improved, My-Config.com has established itself on the web as a free service to PC users running Windows and Linux operating systems. The service is designed to work with the most common Internet browsers (Edge, Firefox, Chrome, Safari).

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
