George Lucas May Be Completely Evil
gabec writes "Sci-fi Wire is reporting a couple rumors about the changes being made to the original Star Wars trilogy for its next release. That being that Natalie Portman may be being inserted into Episode VI: Return of the Jedi and that universally reviled Jar Jar Binks may be being inserted into Episode IV: A New Hope. May The Force forbid." Mind you this is reported as rumor, but it's so unsurprisingly possible...
You all wanted it, but I got it. THIS POST!

Why are you using decimal? Decimal gets down modded very quickly. Restate using hexadecimal (using 10h for sixteen, for example).
Have you noticed that some top page banners on Slashdot *have doubled* their sizes? My lord, this is starting to get a Yahoo-like approach...
What will it be called, Super Special Edition? Speciai Edition Pro? 32-Bit Special Edition Turbo?

"You're like abused wives. You keep coming back for more, even though it hurts"
Is there any need to show this degree of insensitivity to abused women?
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered *BSD community when IDC confirmed that *BSD market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all servers. Coming on the heels of a recent Netcraft survey which plainly states that *BSD has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. *BSD is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Sys Admin comprehensive networking test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict *BSD's future. The hand writing is on the wall: *BSD faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for *BSD because *BSD is dying. Things are looking very bad for *BSD. As many of us are already aware, *BSD continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
FreeBSD is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core developers. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time FreeBSD developers Jordan Hubbard and Mike Smith only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: FreeBSD is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
OpenBSD leader Theo states that there are 7000 users of OpenBSD. How many users of NetBSD are there? Let's see. The number of OpenBSD versus NetBSD posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 7000/5 = 1400 NetBSD users. BSD/OS posts on Usenet are about half of the volume of NetBSD posts. Therefore there are about 700 users of BSD/OS. A recent article put FreeBSD at about 80 percent of the *BSD market. Therefore there are (7000+1400+700)*4 = 36400 FreeBSD users. This is consistent with the number of FreeBSD Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Walnut Creek, abysmal sales and so on, FreeBSD went out of business and was taken over by BSDI who sell another troubled OS. Now BSDI is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that *BSD has steadily declined in market share. *BSD is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If *BSD is to survive at all it will be among OS dilettante dabblers. *BSD continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, *BSD is dead.
Fact: *BSD is dying
true dat. You need to be an NRA member like me to not worry about samurai sword totten nerds. That samurai sword won't scare me as much as my .3006 will scare you. %lt;:-)
my .3006 will scare you
an M-1?
A wonderful example of why moderation should not be anonymous. I sure as hell don't want to see any posts by some fuckwad moderators who think abusing women is funny. I bet you think it's funny when daddy beats mommy every night. I'll bet you like pulling the legs off spiders. Soon you'll be all grown up and move on to puppies. I always knew that most suckdot posters were misanthropic little fucking trolls, but this is just too much!

Who's the moderator who thought this comment warranted a 4 and thought it was funny? I guess each spends to much time sucking on their monitors.
Your sig here!

.30-06. There's a big difference.
I believe you mean
I want to recommend the Movie Tokyo Eyes to you. The story will remind you of your experience, as your post reminds me of the movie, and finally Hinano Yoshikawa is cute, although i would not suggest her as a substitute to Natalie or even Jar Jar Portman. Anyway, Padme is married to Anakin.. so who will be the lovely princess in Episode III?
This sig is a true statement, but I cannot prove it.
you want sponsorship to make this into a movie lad? I got an email from some guy in nigeria who might just have the cash to pay for this.
The reason girls and Windows users don't understand UNIX is because all the documentation is in Man files.
Ever heard of The Illiad? The Odyssey? The Maha-Barata? Fucking BEOWULF, for God's sake!
(insert standard Beowulf cluster joke here)
I can't say I've heard of Illiad clusters though.
