Why not? It's his movie, not yours. Sure, you're not going to buy it, but, don't act like you were kicked in the ass and had your wallet stolen over the whole ordeal.
Besides, it's not like this didn't happen before. For instance, J.R.R. Tolkien "fiddled" with The Hobbit so it fit in better with the Lord of the Rings story and copies of the original The Hobbit aren't on sale anymore.
As far as Han losing his edge because Greedo shoots first, meh. It's not like Lucas axed him storming his way through the Death Star or fighting his way off of Jabba's Sail Barge, or evading the Imperial Fleet by blending in with the trash. Him not shooting first isn't a big deal.
If you're looking at Han during the restored Docking Bay 94 scene, you're not focused on what was the added zinger of the scene, which was Jabba's facial expression, which I found and still find hilarious.
The films largely are the same from their 70's/80's versions and the 90's enhanced versions. It's not like in the middle of A New Hope that Obi Wan decides to stop with this whole turning off the tractor beam business and start selling Amway to the storm troopers.
My World Literature professor taught me the value of having high quality fiction in your life and has taught me the miasma that is garbage pulp fiction.
As a result, I can't get a date with the late 20 something nerd girls who keep spouting off about how great Twilight, Buffy and Firefly are.
My voice is clearly heard by my legislator. Harry Reid and Dina Titus are voting largely the way I want them to.
What's happening and this is quantifiable, is that Republicans are digging in and throwing the brakes wherever they can. The Democrats actually are largely on my side when it comes to substantive policy issues; ENDA, DADT, Pay-go, ending the Bush tax cuts on the obscenely rich, etc. it's just that achieving these goals are damn near impossible when the filibuster has been used record-setting numbers of times. This is in addition to other processes that Republicans have used to throw a hammer in the whole system.
It's more nuanced than, "Congress sucks but not my Congressman."
For example, Harry Reid isn't ideal, but no one opposed him during the primary, all third parties suck in Nevada and if you think I'm ever voting for someone as batshit crazy as Sharron Angle you're fucking crazier than she is.
Dina Titus isn't bad, but she's not very vocal but this is her first year in Washington.
The party divisions were (and to an extent, still are) largely arbitrary.
You clearly don't live in Nevada.
Last I checked, the Nevada democratic party isn't trying to prop up a crazy who used to be a member of an ultra-radical party who's decided to hitch their wagon to a racist, xenophobic, militant, 9/11 Truther, AIDS denialist bandwagon.

He would only be a hypocrite if he did the special edition treatment to films that weren't his.

Normally as an Apple fanboi, I applaud their achievements.
However with Grand Central Dispatch you can multithread your incompetence and spread it among many cores! Not just one!

I wish I hadn't gone to college.
I'd hire a web developer with 10 years experience with no degree.
On the other hand, I wouldn't hire someone with no degree to write OpenGL Windows drivers for consumer grade 3D hardware.
One job requires you to know how to code, the other requires you to know how to program and do math.
When the course list says, "Staff" instead of a professor, luck factors in heavily here.
I'm wondering how this would affect transgendered people, actually.
If the machine sees that your skeletal facial structure is XY but you're legally female, would it know?
I have a $75,000 contract with Stanford to build them one that goes to 12.
neither it seems, interesting.
they're running your office like a prison and the prison like an office.
That's how.
They lost Super Majority status when they lost Ted Kennedy's old seat.

Win 7 isn't exactly designed around multitouch exclusivity. The iPad however, is. Which is why the iPad draws so much more of an analogy to the PADD.
Looking at the second graph, you can see exactly when the torch was passed from Carter to Reagan.
God I miss Carter on some level.
Oh my god a big wall of rambling text about economics and A) it's right and B) It's not the same libertarian folderol we typically see here on /.
what has this world come to?
Once some decent Android(or MeeGo, or WebOS, or Windows Phone 7)
now, I'm a hardcore iOS fanboy but, c'mon? Windows Phone 7?
I'd hold more faith that BlackBerry 6 would be a better iOS competitor than WP7.
blahblahblah more libertarian folderol.
Why should we elect legislators with no interest in legislating?
No, the Congress knows exactly what it's doing.
Republicans are saying no to everything in an attempt to regain power.
Democrats are watering down every bill in an attempt to win *some* Republican support.
Other than Jake Sisko, how often did you see the Star Trek post TNG cast use styluses with PADDs?
How often do you see people actually using Pogo styluses with iPad/iPod Touch/iPhones?
The iPad is largely the first consumer touch screen device that can aptly be compared with a PADD.

Duh.
What else do you do during Shark Week.
A simple "no" would've sufficed. :)
No, the last time any Democrat had balls it got all over an intern's dress.
