Actually, as the other guy said, both of our quotes works...mine for the aspect that its FINALLY going on DVD, and yours because well....look what george lucas branded CRAP he's put out lately;)
Actually, I did the exact same thing when I saw someone's remark about "Alderaan shooting first". Dunno why, but since these comments are chock full of star wars puns I didn't expect to be amused, but hey, I guess the soda stains on my monitor don't lie:)
No kidding, we don't need him tinkering with what was already successful and beloved. We certainly don't need them to do anything crazy like throwing random scenes with Anakin and Padme, or having Jar Jar jump up the screen every 15 seconds.
Of course, "We want to encourage our fans to check them out themselves," doesn't really give me the vote of confidence that they've learned anything.

Ha! Try having some Powerpoint newbie (which really comprises of 95% of all people presenting with it) lose the point of having PowerPoint by having them make weird ass transitions along with having a 'typewriter' sound effect after EVERY SINGLE LETTER pouring from the screen followed by a car crash sound effect.
Honestly, I could spend all day pointing out what NOT to do in a PowerPoint presentation, and I'm by no means an expert in either PowerPoint or general presentations.
That's nothing new, AOL's had spam like that for years, akin to the "You got Re-Financed!", "You got a female companion!", and of course "You got Viagra" messages
I actually do this when I play UT2004 on one of my old boxes that's still running windows. Of course I also disable the network connection when I do this and restart the firewall when I'm done....
That sucks! I am a firm believer that various "updates" WILL break things, it's just a matter of what EXACTLY will break in the process.
As I've said before, it's always a good idea to plan for the worst by making a ghost image, restore point, backups, exorcism, etc. before installing Service Packs like that:)
1. Find a link to it (SP2Torrent.com is one, IIRC) 2. Download it 3. Install it 4. Reboot 5. Curse because something broke, or it hosed your system 6. Undo the damage (ranging from uninstalling SP2, to reinstalling Windows XP and all applications, and possibly recreating documents)
Ok, I hope you're being sarcastic, but barring that, I don't care how badly service packs can break your existing system. It's one thing if you have to reinstall/reimage a working system and install all applications needed, but if you have to RECREATE documents, because you didn't back everything up BEFORE applying arbitary service packs, updates, etc., then that's your own damn fault.
Well you can't call it microsoft.com unless you have a Steve Balmer look-a-like jumping around like a babboon, preferably on a gimpy looking guy with glasses.;)
Of course, I'm putting too much thought into that, so I'll just stop now *cringes*
Slashdot Mirror
Are you kidding?!
;)
I'm arrogant enough to say that GAMES.slashdot.org is a breath of fresh air.
Sounds almost like a drive here on the 405 :)
Well to be quite honest, I live in CA, so I've seen my share of people who I don't want driving :P
So yeah, the ultimate answer is: "We Are Screwed!"
And that's the point I was hoping to convey :)
Generally, if they are a super important politician, celebrity, atkin's spokesperson, then they get apologies. Otherwise it's "fuck the rest of them!"
But what are ordinary citizens supposed to do if the Secretary of Homeland Security won't take their calls?
Umm....get a DAMN good start driving?
I'm by no means a car expert, but I could've sworn that Chevy was the company that made the Nova :-)

EvilCabbage: Good thing too, I hadn't quite had all my dreams shattered yet.
Yoda: They will be. They will be.
Well to be fair, one can liken Slashdot on web servers to the Death Star on Alderaan :)
:P
"...as if millions of web pages suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced."
Ok, I overused that quote in my jokes. No biscuit for me
LMAO! Good one, I just spit out my fucking drink over that one! :)

It must be a royal bitch to play UT2004 online

Of course! There's always people who are "too busy" to back their documents up and then POOF! Trust me, I've experienced that firsthand :)
1. Find a link to it (SP2Torrent.com is one, IIRC)
2. Download it
3. Install it
4. Reboot
5. Curse because something broke, or it hosed your system
6. Undo the damage (ranging from uninstalling SP2, to reinstalling Windows XP and all applications, and possibly recreating documents)
