And of course, who wouldn't want to see Episode III: The Non-Crappy Version, complete with a Star Wars Kid cameo added by the pirate who actually edited together the flick...
I'd want remakes of Episodes I & II thanks. II could have been alot better without the "love story" and the jerk with the attiude.
What's really nuts is that the punishment for doing this is worse than the one for a first offense DUI.
That's because organizations like MADD don't have the lobbists that the MPAA does. You could also look at it along the lines of human life being cheap, but money being expensive. (That isn't really an opinion that I share, but it does seem to be the way the world is structured.)
Don't use that site anymore! That's the main reason I avoid IGN anymore. Otherwise it's your own fault.
Gosh, I hate users that go to websites just for "themes" or "religious quote of the day" when the site is mainly just spamming them but they did ask for it so it isn't really spam. It's not the bad guys its those stupid lemmings, er users.
Or perhaps I'm just a history major who knows nothing about history.
As I recall it, the American colonists were rebels that rebeled against their lawful government. They didn't rebel against France. They rebeled against Great Britain whom they had sworn loyalty oaths. I wouldn't want men like that to be my leaders. Would you trust a man that would break his oath so that he can rebel against government so that he can pay less taxes? As I recall it, those men didn't set up a fair democratic state that we know. That came about with 200 hundred years of hard work and lots of luck. They setup a state where only the select few white male land owners could vote. Oh, if you missed it we are also a REPUBLIC not a democracy!
O.k. Raise your hand if you've ever felt like playing tennis, go for a run or play backyard football.
Gosh there are more hands then expected. Maybe I should go outside now. Nah, its cold out I like reading slashdot infront of my computer inside of my fairly warm office.
And the Five Golden Rings were wrought by the hand of the Dark Lord Sauron, meaning they extract a price too heavy to be described in monetary terms, as they scorch your very soul, slowly dragging you bodily into a spiritual nether-world where you live as a wraith, neither dead nor alive, eternally locked in a heck-like existence where you live only to serve your dark master.
Please explain, how it is impossible? Earth is not the entire universe. We do have other places to get energy sources if we can ever reach them. If there was a machine that could cool beer and offset global warming all it would have to do is move all its heat off planet. Duh.
You missed the memo. All chemists have been redefined as nanotechnology engineers. (It helps confuse PHBs into giving projects more money. Don't knock it till you've tried it!)
I'm waiting for the Middle Party. I didn't want either Bush or Gore. I slightly leaned toward Bush because of Liberman's views on Video Game censure ship. I really don't think things have changed much under Bush. I'm glad we aren't a Police State, but I think it would have taken more than 9/11 to do that. I'm more worried about the slow long term than the sudden transitions. Bush and Gore were about the same to me. Sure there were differences, but both would have acted almost the same. I want a party that takes the Religion out of the republicans and the socialist out of the democrats.
Are you kidding? They have some prime vaction land there! It would be far better to remove all the problem people to some place else. Like Cuba or maybe Iraq. Then we'll let them complain there.
I work at my local police department in AR. I've been told that it is their policy to ticket drivers for driving unsafely, not just for speeding. (Speeding fast enough is driving unsafe.)
Do you want some one driving 50 in front of your house? I live in rural TX and about 1/4 mile from the road people can drive 65 infront of my house, and I like it.
I agree lot of the speed limits in AR are too slow most default to 30 mph in any populated area, and 55 mph or 65 mph on state highways. In AR we are lucky to have 40 mph and 45 mph streets. It is only the interstate that has 70 mph.
Personaly, I think that all new license plates should have RFID tags, and each car should be able to record the nearest 5 - 10 tags. It is a crime to leave the scene of an accident. My wife had an accident recently where some one merged into her lane and drove off. If her car was able to automaticly pick up the other's ID info, the cops would have the ID information and our insurace would also. I want RFID. I can't identify you now, but If you had RFID and mugged me and something inherently on my recorded all your RFID tags, I'd gladly give that information to the police. Remember the techonology is neither good or evil it is how we use it.
On the off chance someone actually discovers something useful down there. I remember reading in the CIA world fact book that the US doesn't recongize anyone's claims made there. If there is some super fuel down there, the US would attempt to claim all of Antartica in about 5 seconds regardless of what the rest of the world wants.
while the UC/Caltech team approached the Moore Foundation, Gordon Moore's philanthropic organization. So a tiny fraction of every dollar you spend on an Intel chip may someday help to make this telescope a reality!
Oh, great I can see the ads now, huge telescopic with researcher looking through something and he sees aliens, planets, all sorts of neat stuff. Then some one asks how the government can afford all this. And he points to a plack of Paid by Intel on the side of the Telescope.
I think this maybe a good thing for China. China can force foreign companies not to sell inside of China by noncompliance of the standard while all domestic companies will be following the national standard. The domestic companies can also export the standard while including others... China could force its domestic companies to make its standard the "default." We could find it becoming a US standard if it is cheap.
Special interest groups will have a much easier time getting other companies to follow suit and self-censor as well, because now they can say "Rockstar and Take Two did it, why won't you?"
They could just say that "Rockstar and Take Two" have no morals for caving in to special interest demands. We on the other hand stand up for the artistic first admendment right of producing entertainment forms that 5% will protest against but about 80% of the population own and enjoy. (O.k. maybe those percentages are reversed.)
This is actually bothering us. A vendor wanted a RedHat 8 server for a mugshot database about six months ago. We've finally gotten to that phase of our project and were updating our quotes. We had 2 changes in our quotes from Redhat 8 to Redhat 9 and the price dropped. Well, we send all that updated vendor requirements to Dell. Our Dell guy says that they no longer carry Red Hat 8 or 9, but a Red Enterprise. I jump over to Red Hat's website and find 3 different versions of RHEL. (All this for a box that will just be an image server. Grr.)
If Red Hat can do this and gets away with it, in six months Apple & MS will boldly follow the new OS business method of dumping support for year old products. I envision a 90 day warranty period on software where you can get all the patchs but after that time all service stops. I really hope that I'm a bad futurist.
Which group is trying to ban idiots that get angry and attempt to destory property or assualt after sporting events? I support them whoever they maybe.

I think someone should give viruses the right to spread through all Earth bound species. Please, everyone think of the little ones!
However, the biggest obstacle is that Linux hasn't been ported to run on rubble.
Yet.

Ok. Was it just me? I could have sworn the article was going to be about SimEarth 2 from the headline.

Just like Credit Cards!
Nintendo doesn't have all the behind the scenes resources that Sony or MS have.

Locking doors wouldn't be magic. Having the house automaticly throw out intruders would be though.

More likely it will be used to freeze those photons so that the NSA can read them then let them on their way.

Nope. Those are made by HR folks. The IT folks will never see the resumes unless they read like they exceed the job posting.

Your honor it isn't a death ray that I've developed, it is a cancer treatment device.
