    Actually entrapment simply means "to draw into damaging admission". I can entrap people into doing things, so can you, so can anyone. 5 year olds tell their little brothers to steal cookies just because he wants to watch the kid get punished.

    Regardless of what Sean Connery tells you, dipshit, it's a not a thing only the police can do.

    And my sig means that arrogant people are usually ignorant. My post was neither.

    I'm afraid you really don't know what you're talking about. What do you mean allowed too? When the police do it, criminals also believe they're "allowed to" only to get taken away directly after doing it.

    You're also just reinforcing my point by saying that only the police can attempt this. Police get nailed to the wall for doing this, so what do you think would happen to a private company?

    I could've hacked any damn server in their company during that 48 hour block and claimed I was under the impression the server I hacked was the true target, and the rest were honeypots. It's completely plausible. Hell, it could be completely true. You take a wrong turn in their infrastructure and start hacking the payroll server my mistake..hell, an honest one.

    In short, this company doesn't have the slightest hint of a leg to stand on if they decided to pursue criminal charges against those hackers involved in the contest.

    After one year in college, my stupid ass got the boot. I had to leave my girl, and I wish someone would've sit me down and said "You will never meet another one like this again. She's beautiful, intelligent, wonderfully cynical, interesting, fun, and for some reason she's in love with your stupid ass. So don't fuck it up. Go to class, study, pay attention. I know that this freedom is going to be knew to you, but you have to remain a bigger person and control it. Just because you can skip class and not get busted by anyone doesn't mean you should. Watch the partying. Tomorrow is going to come no matter what, do you want to be well rested and still have your money or hung over and broke? Pick your friends carefully. Choose those that know how to have a good time but know when it's time to sit up and hit the books. And always remember: Theatre Majors are the epitome of laziness."

  13. Re:I thought she was dead. on George Lucas May Be Completely Evil · · Score: 1

    We're getting DEEP into nerdism here(Yuzhan Vong, Ben and Anakin children, the works)but Leia may be refering to her adopted mother on Alderan. I'm not sure if she ever even knew she was adopted, so it's a possibility.

    It's interesting to note that while Vader does know he had a child, it isn't until he reads Luke's mind in ROTJ does he realize he had twin children.

    It's even further interesting to note that during Luke's scenes in Jabba's lair, a bounty hunter and Jedi apprentice named Mara Jade was also their, acting under orders from Admiral Palpatine to kill Luke. She wasn't granted access to Jabba's slave barge when it journeyed to the Sarlac, so she was forced to leave. She later ends up marrying Luke and having children that can force grip as infants. Even grip beings immune to the force.

    I know, I'm a dork. But man do I feel at home here.

    Actually, it was the entire fact that the game played out like a slideshow in I watched, rather than participated. Let's get one thing straight, revolutionary DOES NOT mean good. The myst games had almost NO immersion factor. If you think they were enganging then I'm utterly convinced you've never played any other video game in your life. Play Xenogears then the come back and talk to me about a game having an immersion factor. Walk, click, solve assinine puzzle, repeat.

    Revolutionary or new does not mean good. For instance, the Beatles and Elvis woulnd't of been half as popular if they would've come into the scene a decade after rock had taken off. I'm so sick of the attitude of "Oh, haven't seen this before, it must be great!"

    Grow up and open your eyes man, choosing what urinal to use at the theatre bathroom made me more involved in Star Wars than clicking random shit ever did for you in Myst. It's a fucking slideshow, end of story.

    The demand for certs in the industry just shows me how ignorant the industry is. You don't know how many job postings I see asking for certs that don't even exist, like the one I saw the other day wishing to hire a Cisco Certified Systems Engineer(I kid you not). I also can't stand seeing job offers that would rather have a college degree than any experience. We just hired an MIS graduate as a network tech that had to be shown the difference between a router and switch on his first day.

    If you want to know what certs will really help you, get your CCNA, the new Cisco cert that covers voice over IP, some project planning cert, and maybe pursue your Six Sigma belts if you're in the high level industry.

    Hope this helped.

    You stupid bastard. His ability to move like that is an effort of the force. He uses the force to fly around, bat the lightsaber effortlessly, and do all of those bitchin' acrobatics he does.

    It's not like Obi-Wan or Anakin, who use the 90% physical strenght/10% force to do their flips and whatnot. Yoda is the opposite, more like 95% force, 5% physical. He walks in a on a cane using his muscles, then whups ass using the force.

    My god man, Yoda is the epitome of the force. Remember "Judge me by my size, do you?"? Lucas is making a point here that went straight over your pointed head, which is that who you are physically has NO RELOVENCE WHATSOEVER as to your ability to command the force.

    Yoda's ability to move like that is an example of what centuries of force training have done for him. It was one of the best fights I've ever seen, in no way did I find it childish or kid-aimed, and all you got out of it was anger because you thought Yoda had been faking his limp.
