  1. Re:heh on George Lucas C&Ds 'Lightsaber Laser' · · Score: 1

    Force user vs Force user = slapstick sometimes. Anakin was stupid in attacking Obi-wan in his position and rage blinded him to the tactical situation. Thats EXACTLY how you take out an immature Sith. TO address #3, he committed to the Dark Side by killing Mace Windu. At that point Anakin died and Darth Vader came to be. You cannot turn your back to the Dark Side once you commit dark acts. Also he WAS seduced by the dark side, it had knowledge he sought, which was born from attachment. Everything Anakin did proves the reasons why Jedi are not supposed to have attachments.

    Why does Motorola have to license the word 'Droid' from Lucasfilm? If you look its on every Droid commercial. So Lucas owns the word Droid now too?

    EVERYONE that posts on the forums will have their RealID exposed, even employees. At least one of the GM/Devs already revealed her name. Also, most of the employees are named in the game manuals (those things we dont read), including the GM mentioned.

    Your post presumes that trolling has no value, which is categorically false. Discussion is discussion, and trolls can and do make outstanding, argument winning posts. Not all trolling is meaningful, but enough of it is.

    Absolutely correct. I have UTIII on both PS3 (was stoked to try out official KB/mouse on a console, yes I know Dreamcast could do it years earlier) and PC (day one purchase, collectors edition). I own every retail UT game made, and I knew instantly that UT III was a turd. At least when UT2003 came out and we hated it they were still in the PC game making business and delivered in spades for UT2004.

    Why should F-16s use fly-by wire systems in the first place? AS a pilot I'd be pissed if I was presented with a plane that was unflyable except through computer aid.

    I was mostly replying to the parent in regards to the max distance as his dealbreaker, and the ability to make a cable vs having to having to buy an expensive out-of-spec one. The point is, with this CURRENT technology, it makes implementing edge cases MUCH easier.

    You can do that now. They make wall plate adapters, amplifiers to run HDMI over 2 stands of Cat5/6 From Wikipedia: HDMI extenders that are based on dual Category 5/Category 6 cable can extend HDMI to 250 meters (820 ft.), while HDMI extenders based on optical fiber can extend HDMI to 300 meters (980 ft.).

    RAID is not peace of mind. Regular scheduled backups, with offsite storage, and tested recovery procedures is peace of mind. Its not considered backed up until your data been successfully restored from a backup.
