If those numbers are correct thats a terrible loss, its like the US postal service is about as good as the Nukak-Maku express delivery in the Amazon jungle!
"But never Paul Newman. He had this little bit in his will which said his executors should prevent any:
"virtual performance or reanimation of any performance by me by the use of any technique, technology or medium now in existence or which may be known or created in the future anywhere in the universe.""
Which will of course quickly be overturned and found illegal on the grounds that it unfairly prevents greed.
"So far, I'd say he does a pretty darn good job as a politician... just not as a leader of a state. But if we wanted leaders we wouldn't elect politicians in the first place, now would we?"
Newsflash: Most people ARE voting for who they think is a leader.
"In this particular case, since he plays a robot, the only real way to keep him in the movies is through digital enhancement, unless they want to come up with a reason the unchanging cyborg turned into a wrinkly old man and why his giant muscles turned into sagging manboobs."
Simple: Show us the real soldier the cyborgs were modeled after.
"For example, I wonder how many DVD orders for the new Red Dwarf episodes will be placed as a direct consequence of the torrent availability and subsequent 'try before you buy' which it enabled to a much wider audience?"
-500 ? I'm sure some people will still want their money back!

It's bad for you and we also have to share", while still stuffing your face as fast as ever."
No its not. If you must use a lame ass metaphor you could say its like being addicted to drugs, you can't just stop cold turkey, but have to get of it slowly - but new people shouldn't start.
The west couldn't just drop it from day to day or society would collapse. That doesn't mean other countries should just start doing it.
Of course people are idiots, so the world is probably going to hell in handbasket

Even if your friends mod me down.
Well those terms should be null and void when he died.
It probably does violate the "rights" of a dead man.
Duck!
And this clearly shows why.
Instead of trying to wring money out of an amoral system.

This isn't funny ... this is sad :(
Quite right, it looks like an official wikipedia site - they haven't got a leg to stand on.

He was perfectly fine. What they thought us that Lucas can't write and direct.
"I think the main reason they killed off Data in the last Star Trek movie was the difficulty explaining away Brent Spinner's signs of age."
Which is weird, because of one of the first episodes they say that his skin grows older. That was apparently quickly forgotten.

What can they do in a month? If the article talks about they might try to see if they can squeeze something it.
Unless they did this a year ago it can only look crap.
Never mind them, I want the software on my computer and then make my own movie with Morena Baccarin and Yvonne Strahovski!
Or maybe you are the kind of idiot who keeps trolling WoW boards, every time some asks a question you think they should know.

"Global warming exists, but it doesn't scare me."
Of course not, because you have contrived a fantasy to feel comfortable. Not that it's related to how things actually work of course.
Its not inconvenient for those who under stand science.
"If you want to breathe oxygen, you'll have to go up several hundred metres. "
