    You should watch the series, it does introduce several extra scenes of "sexposition".

    Yeah, but HBO feels they'll have more rating if they show them having sex while explaining their reasons for stabbing each other in the back.

    I'll take Rudolph Flash over Adolph Apple.

    Whatever merit your argument might have had, it was invalidated by Godwin's law. You lose.

    Considering how Carrie Fisher and Mark Hammil look nowadays, the movies should be set 100 years after the Battle of Yavin!

    But seriously, watching them as secondary characters and possibly mentors to a new set of young heroes would be awesome.

    I'd like to see Leia as a tough-as-nails politician in Coruscant, Luke as head of a new Jedi order and Han still flying the galaxy with Chewbacca.

    (yes, I am ignoring the novels and comic canon)

    No, that doesn't sound right... I think he's the author of The Art of Computer Programming

    "Percentage of profits" is such a nonsense metric.

    You realize that hosting companies actually need to care about the physical dimensions of the machines they are hosting? They don't just leave a few PC towers in the corner of a room and call it a day.

    Right, which is why there are things called "rack mountable servers" that come in predictable sizes...

    Then why is the USA the only country using indirect elections? Every other modern country that used it at some point has switched to direct elections.

  16. Re:further reason for a popular vote on The US Redrawn As 50 Equally Populated States · · Score: 2

    No point visiting anywhere since you can do video conferences tailored to particular elector types, rather than regions.

    Imagine a virtual town hall meeting of just nerds, or just single mothers, or just asian-americans. etc.

  17. Re:What?! on The US Redrawn As 50 Equally Populated States · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course this is a much easier solution then just switching to popular vote...

    This is correct. The whole indirect voting systems like the US Electoral College were created to deal with the logistical problems of giving every citizen the vote.

    In this day and age, the only purpose of indirect elections is to give undue weight to rural areas.
