  4. Re:Um, where is this? on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 5, Funny

    Q.E.D.:

    OpenOffice is the fruit of a collaboration between Sun Microsystems and volunteer programmers around the world. Sun bought a German company in 1999 to get office software to bundle with its computers but figured that it wasn't going to make big bucks selling the software to a wider market because of Microsoft's grip.

    Next time read within the lines.

    If nothing else, it shows us why it's bad idea to give emergency powers during times of war.

    That's why nowdays we have "sneak and peak" searches, completely voiding the 4th amendment, and US citizens can now be held indefinitely without charge, again voiding the 6th amendment.

    If only we had lightsabers... (or laser swords, as Lucas likes to call them)

    That's right. I've heard that Beck is too. (As well as Travolta, but again, he can dance like a mofo.)
    So is the chick from King of Queens, and the nekkid chick from JAG. And let's not forget our favorite fatty, no not Rosie O'Donnel, but Kristie Alley.

    John Travolta is likeable, and is the only white man who learned to dance.

    How about Tom Cruise? Isn't he all evil?
    Examples:
    -dances in underwear
    -even at 40 still looks as cute as he was at 20
    -dumped Kidman
    -shagged Cruse
    -about to shag Holmes

    I'm sorry it's offtopic, but I think the question does have some merrits for discussion. (Even Tripmaster Monkey would agree to that!)

    It's not necessarily eternal anything.
    If there's no light to bounce around, there's no time.
    Now, I'm in no way trying to argue your valid point, I'm just pointing out that many people don't realize that time is not something that exists on its own.
    It is simply a measurement of "how long does the light travel from point A to point B".

    Without light, eternal has as much meaning as saying that you are 2 away from me.

    In my opinion, your statement is more deserving of insightful, than funny mod points.
    While the Java reference deserves a +5 on its own, your second statement hits the nail on the head.

    From my experience, to most people, evolution does not mean change over time but "men == came from monkeys". Of course to them, the reason why we keep getting new strains of flu every winter is because their benevolent god likes them to be sick. I think it's some sort of a test for them.

    Since I didn't sign up for their class, I'd like to opt out of their tests, but sadly, I can't. The flu likes to pick on me as much as it does on the next guy...

  11. A couple of things to keep in mind: on Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I think it's important to keep a couple of things in mind:

    1. The action scenes and special effects will be cool. The storyline will be OK, the fall of the senate and rise of emperor and empire will be interesting. It will be nice to see the "straw that breaks the camel's back" and see Anakin finally snap.

    2. The acting and the dialogue will be incredibly stiff. It's Lucas after all. I can imagine that exchanges between Padme and Anakin will be just as meaningless as before. (Padme looked pretty convincing though, crying on one of the trailers.)

    If you keep those 2 in mind as you go see the movie, it should be a cool and a welcome conclusion to what started out as a kickass story, turned into a disappointment.

  17. Re:Wrong.... on The Pseudoscience of Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Correct me if I am wrong, but I thought Atheism is more than a lack of belief in a god or gods.

    I was under the impression that atheism was strictly against god. IE, an atheist believes that there is no god. (Meaning they have a way to prove it to themselves.)

    This is different from an agnostic belief, in which one simply does not know whether there is a god or not.

    I suppose I could look all this up on Wiki...
