They just completely ignore it in the new movie, which is probably for the best. I don't know that a major plot thread about fuel issues would've been welcome for two movies in a row.
I think you may just have shifted tastes. The new material (Beast With a Billion Backs excepted) is excellent, and very much on par with the quality of the original show.
What would be so unreasonable about assuming he meant the word he used? They don't need a cell phone at all, much less have good reason to want one. His point was very much laced with "get off my lawn", but still valid.
Ledger getting this award is ridiculous anyway. He did great, but in that movie alone, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Aaron Eckart, and Morgan Freeman were all better than him. He's getting the award because he died, not because he merits it.
No, years. Two years ago, gas prices in Wisconsin were over $2.00. The cheapest we saw, until the prices came down in October, was $1.98 in March '07. They stayed there for a week, and immediately went back up. Before that, they'd been over $2.00 for something like 4-5 years. Gas is the cheapest it's been since at least '02 or '03.
No, they're simply recognizing the fact that despite the international nature of the internet, laws still apply and vary from country to country. What would you have them do, ignore the laws?
That said, do you really think that McCain/Palin and Obama/Biden are equal?
Of course I do. They both had critical flaws which made both of them unsuitable to be our next president. Once we get past that, it doesn't matter what else you can say about them. They were both equal: really bad.
Yes. Any employer worth your time is either a) not going to be doing something as petty as e-stalking you, or b) doing it properly, and making sure that the person is really you.
And they are with Windows as well. Come on, it's more than a bit ridiculous to expect Microsoft to supply patches to people who pirate their software. If you've bought your copy of Windows, patches are free. There may be a bug with validating your copy, but that's also a mistake, not by design.
I couldn't agree more. I suspect these folks are in the minority Luddite contingent of/. These blocks were amazing, and are a great UI, especially for kids.
Or, perhaps, they just think this idea is stupid. There are tons of idiotic ideas that come out in the tech world. There's nothing wrong with finding any particular idea useless.
It's a Futurama reference (and the link redirects to the WP Futurama entry). The professor gets de-aged, and is 63. His reaction is, "63!? Aww... now I'll have to get a fake ID to rent ultra-porn..."
It's yet another concept the overlords think is cool, but no one else does (more specifically, it's a way to influence what stories get picked a la Digg). We shouldn't care about it.
He also has a private life, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with him having a private cell phone for that aspect of his life (as long as it stays confined to private use).
You're correct. They should in no way be obliged to make OSX compatible, or support it, on other people's platforms. They should also not be allowed to interfere with other people's platforms, which is what they've been doing.
There's nothing stopping them from saying "We don't support this unless it's running on our hardware", so no. I have no issue with them not wanting to support other people's setup, I have issues with them twisting the law to try to prevent people from doing what they want with the software.
Basically they're an hardware company developing software to help selling the hardware...
This doesn't hold water. If they were really a hardware company, then, like every hardware company in existence, they would put the focus on their hardware. But the reality is that they are pushing their software, not their hardware. Their actions speak louder than their words: they're a software company who is trying to abuse copyright law to force you to do what they want with their product.
They already want to sell their OS: if they didn't, it wouldn't be in stores. The fact that they think they can dictate what gets done with it is pure, unmitigated bullshit, and hopefully it gets knocked down in court soon.
Absolutely correct, but there's also a very, very fine line between challenging and frustrating. Games which try to be hard very often cross the line into frustrating, which is bad.
Massively multiplayer, team-based PvP. That's what the ultimate goal is.
For you. I can't think of anything I want less in my online gaming. Of course, that's the problem with some PvP fans... they can't understand that the preference of every MMO player in existence doesn't line up with theirs, and then deride those who prefer other methods by talking about "lame quests and raids and other pointless garbage". God forbid we learn to appreciate the fact that other people like different things.

And? I didn't say no companies at all did this, I said no company worth your time does this.
Am I overreacting?
Yes. Any employer worth your time is either a) not going to be doing something as petty as e-stalking you, or b) doing it properly, and making sure that the person is really you.
With Linux patches are free.

Simple solution: switch hands.

The employees are extremely comfortable doing this. It's the superiors who need some work here.

Hint: the Civil War was not about slavery, it was about secession.

This is great news for everyone who believes in fair competition in the marketplace. Kudos to that judge, and I hope the countersuit goes well!
