"I'm afraid I'll be waiting for the day when George reconsiders and releases the untouched originals."
Give me a break!!! You KNOW compromises galore exists in the movie making process, and yes the 'Cut" from that ie, movie release gets it's day, but to be fortunate enough to be able to go back and 'touch up' the story and the scenes has it's place too!
Star Wars clearly is worthy of refinement, indeed requires refinement because it is used extensively in many mediums, the CCG (Collectable Card Game, and yes ppl still play them), the online game Galaxies (Ontinarri, Eclipse =) and ongoing books and comics...
should not talk about their poor MPG's....my girlfriend and I have a 2001 Prius and we get 48.5 MPG in FLorida consistantly and it's driven on Interstates 50% of the time, easily. If we drive without AC in the city we get 50+ MPG, interstate with AC we get 45 MPG.
Driving habits have as much to do with MPG as the car.
lying about sex when your job is NOT about sex is not nearly as bad as lying about government work when you work in the government a-la Bush senior saying he "was out of the loop" concerning the Iran -Contra affair, when Casper Wienberger has notes to the contrary, not only was he in the meetings, he was for the Arms for Hostages deal!!!
Yes, I love it....sure it has some more refining to do, but that is indicative of how deep the game really is...not a "Hack & Sack" game like D&D, more like Champions in the reguard you make your character's professons, can modify it's states and you decide on your skills across the board...
Furthermore, the player driven economy is a boss idea and makes Crafting as fun as killing, I cannot wait to design, tweak, design, tweak, build and then mass produce Droids! I Beta tested as much as I could as it was a total blast even in the early days when it was crashin' every 2 hours and game balance, well wasn't...Everyday it got better and we know they won't rest after it is released today..
Wait, was that the UPS truck..C-ya....in a few years after Vader Kills my Jedi =P
proof that copyright law, EULA and M$ are way out of control, self-centered to the detriment of society and the nation at large....I guess the Romans never saw the end comming either....
and i have found that after you decide on the power level and hardware particulars, start with the two most expensive parts, for me it's the high end Tyan motherboards, and the SCSI drives to go with, and find the two places that sell these two items for the lowest. And then shop those two places against each other for the rest of the PC.
Having two places ship you things is the most, i've found, that you can use and not loose all of the advantage of finding the cheapest price. Furthermore, the cheaper the item, the less money you can really save on it by shopping around. So that guy that saves you 15$ on the MB can't usually get that pack on the case, per say. And do look for the memory+RAM+MB deals.
Yes! And Zelazny was the coolest dude! So very gifted, one of my fondest memories is standing in a ConSuite with about 10 ppl and Zalazny describing the Pattern and it's complexities, we were totally enthralled.
I have been sending emails to my Senator, Bob Graham of Florida for months now and I don't even get an auto-response. But that won't stop me from stating my opinion for the record, so to speak...There is obviously a logistical problem created when correspondence is increased, but we need not slow down our attempts. Unless we can find a way to increase staff and insure that a proper vetting service occurs within the Congressional Offices, maybe we need to form public committees (Public Intrest Lobbies?) to get more personal contact with Congressmen/women?
As soon as their budget sees the light of day and their Secret Operational Mandate is publically debated and their data streams exposed....
Like that'll happen, I wonder how many 'hooks and back-doors' they can hide? I guess it's a fasntasy to think the public could ever have an encryption scheme strong enough to block their eyes anyway...
