Dear God! You people are paranoid little buggers! Have you even been to the site?
They're just giving you a place to stick your movie for free. You get recognition, they get ad $. Lucasfilm just gets a little chunk of the ad money in return for giving Atomfilms the official SW logo.
"And of course you can't investigate without just cause"
Wait until something like Mitnick's federal DNA database is up and running. Then you'll have to give a blood sample everywhere you go to prove your identity. Once that's in place, it's not too hard to install a drug test. Then all the users will be caught. IANAL but I don't think it's all that different than metal detectors at airports. Even if it can't be used as evidence, they'll make snack machines, phones, or ATMs that won't work unless you pass the drug test.
This is how that would go:
-Bot #1 goes straight forward and spends the next 3 hours trying to get out of the corner.
-Bot #2 spins in a circle because it can't find Bot #1.
Wait, that's what they do now...
Indeed. No computer can say "Mosht things in here don't react too well with bulletsh." like he can. Bell Labs doesn't even have a Russian accent option.
For a lot of people style is #1, and function is down around #45 or so. So Apple sues people who make things that look similar since the look is all their market cares about.

X-33 Shuttle Problems

· Score: 1
I think an unmanned flight blew up. Then somebody got scared and took away the dough, probably.
Is it the fact that there's so little room for error? I mean, if you fuck up, you're dead, or your multi-billion dollar cargo is scattered over the Pacific. But that also holds true for aerospace projects that have been really successful on Earth. No one thinks twice about taking a 747 across the Pacific.
The problem is that you get in big trouble if you screw up a space launch. When TWA loses a jet, nothing even slows down, but when NASA looses a shuttle, everything goes on hold for an invesigation. And NASA has everything planned out years in advance, so they can't afford that kind of delay.
I don't think they collect the boosters to save money. The fuel tank seperates high enough to burn up in reentry, but the boosters would just be gianourmous hunks of metal all over the Atlantic. Also a splashdown without the parachutes would make some pretty big waves, and maybe flying debris. I think they just want to clean up their mess, which is pretty darn nice of them.
It's not that the law is wrong, it's just that you can't arrest 70% of the population. If they could get enough money, and find out how to do it without destroying the economy, they probably would.
Episodes 4 - 6 were at least vaguely intelligent, with usefull stories. Episode 1 was not - and Jar Jar was a big part of that.
I actually saw the first SW trilogy on video for the first time without knowing much about it. I knew there was a war in space, and that Vader was evil, but that was it. One of my friends insisted that I go rent them, so I did, one at a time since that was all the rental place allowed.
When I saw 4, I thought it wasn't that great. The writing wasn't the best, and the best character died halfway through.
I saw 5 because of the said friend, but I actually liked it. And suddenly I liked 4 too. Suddenly there was a big civil war, with ancient mysteries and halucenations. And the good guys were losing?
I went out and got 6 the same day. This one was even better! There were twins seperated at birth and evil people who aren't really that evil. It was like a stupid soap opera, but for some reason it worked. Since then I've read all the SW books and some of the comics.
So anyway I wasn't that dissapointed by E1 since I liked it more than I liked E4 at first. I think it actually had better developed characters. I think I'll like 1 as soon as 2 and 3 come out.
What I want is a story that tells of an ordinary man - no super powers to speak of - who is driven to combat the criminal element that has robbed him.
I'm not a Batman expert, but I think that's why Burton's movies are good. Batman is a little nuts. That's why he runs around beating up bad guys instead of marrying a supermodel. The Burton movies are what Batman feels like. He's rich and he can't enjoy it because he's obsessed with fighting crime. And maybe he wishes he has super powers, so he tries to fake them with cool stuff. That's mostly why I like Batman, he's about as crazy as his villans.
Hmm.. wonder if these little Sims having their own "planetary connection" could evolve into an uprising of computer intelligence against the human race.
As a precautionary measure, Will made all the Sims wimps. All you have to do to squash a revolution is take away their potted plants.

I think ESPN was owned by ABC, who got bought by Disney.
Sports Illustrated is owned by AOLTW though.

Wow, do I sound paranoid or what?

Wait, that's what they do now...

Wow! Roblimo's autograph? Woohoo!
Oops, sorry, was I bothering you? I'll try and keep Iggy from screaming so much next time she has an allosaur.

You mean the G&L bass?
Might not be the best thing to attack a space station with, but feel free to give it a shot.
Gore? Loopy?
Actualy, if they do a test, GWB probably has enough crack in him to make Gore test positive too.
I hope you don't combine these. That could get risky. I don't want armed druggies near my email server, even if it is running on OSS.
Hey kids! Did you know that Sherlock Holmes used cocaine?
Not until the moon has a country that joins the UN. Since no nation owns the moon, the United Nations shouldn't have any power there.

Neon-pain is the best description of that costume.
That thing was just freaky.
