I expect if I saw the film, one might find many other completely cheesy references and pop culture call outs like explaining away the Force by invoking pop culture understanding of molecular biology. That was weak as can be and completely ruined the magic of having Sir Alec Guiness explain the Force as "It's an energy that surrounds all living things.."
People keep harping on this midi-chlorian thing. Did it ever occur to anyone that Luke was strong in the force because he was Darth Vader's son? Gee, could there be a biological reason for that? Oh wait... his sister is strong in the force also...hmmm what a coincidence... The Force is still "The Force," regardless of how it is accessed.
To save time, I am going to set up a bot that posts a response to Slashdot whenever a Star Wars article appears:
How can Lucas ? He is raping my childhood! First he , then he ! All joy in my life has been drained! (Pick one or more of the following to rant about:)
I am not one to usually defend Bill Gates, but *perhaps* MS determined that it could not run a profitible business there if the directive passed. Sort of like when the US outlawed child labor, so now textiles need to be made in other countries....
wouldn't you expect the OIL prices to go DOWN The war is still on, for christs sake. Besides, if you account for inflation the gas prices are lower now than they were in the 70's
topped only by Hitler Hitler was bombing and invading every country he could. There is a slight difference between Nazi Germany and present day Iraq majority support for the US to invade Iraq Only half true. The support was given as long as invasion was a last resort, and diplomacy did not work. Also, the Bush administration made it clear that if you did not give support, then you in fact were supporting terrorists.
But, as my right wing neighbor recently told me, we *want* the dollar to lose value. That way we can fix our outrageous trade deficit, because our products will cost relatively less in other countries.
Exactly. Most people are not aware that there is a better way to use the web, and they will be reluctant to change unless there is a large perceived benefit. It is not like anyone actually "chose" to use IE in the first place. It just happened to be on the computer when they bought the machine.
Most of the readers will be unaware that Firefox does not suffer from the security problems that IE does. They may simply answer the question: "Are you fed up with your web browser?" with: "Nope. works fine"

Great. Now I hate the guy...
Real science is too complex for "people of little brain". Intelligent Design is much easier to comprehend with it's default answer: "God did it".
Many times comments are out of date.
The code tells me exactly what is going on.
I dunno, maybe because there *are* no more movies?

Can't hear no buzzers or bells
Feels like chicken!
Revenge of the Mac?
Now we will know if it tastes like chicken!

I don't have a blackberry...
TiVo should get bundled with TV's. You can get any closer to the target market than that.
They should be sending clones instead!

I'm 37! I'm not old!
Maybe they should surf on Lava!
This is a very geeky thing to do. And, since I am also a geek, I am very envious.
If you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to be a paying customer.

...at least for me...
I wonder how much of the extra 50 minutes are in slow motion?
