-WHy should we love the twin ghosts? they add nothing to the movie.
-Car extravaganza? Boooring. The human race fate is at stake, the very concept of human freewill may be into question, and what do the history tellers concentrate o? A fsckin car chase. Yeah, great and original (ahem... Speed... ahem).
-Battles? I saw that on Starship troopers, much better and realistic. The Matrix whatevere it wa calle looked cheap an unimaginative.
-Philosophy? Get the real thing, don't accept cheap substitutes....
I can think of many phylosophical movies, that treat those aspects with intelligence and tact.
The Matrix underline some interesting thoughts, but is all superficial and at times presented in a terribly boring manner.
It is a sad sign of our times that people are defending thes movies for their philosohy, most probably because any approach to philosophy of most pepople is almost nil.
For urging caution in a situation in which obvisouly there was no certainity about the major casus belli (WMDs)?
Honestly people like you are a bunch of cynical hypocrates. Sorry, only description that fits you.
The US and the UK had decided months before that they were going to invade Iraq, they put up with the UN in the hope that they would not have to go alone on their neo-colonial adventure and to make it easier to sell it back home to skeptical electorates (specially in the UK).
When they realized they did not have a majority in the security council (in spite of back stage arm twisting to all the countries oppossed to their actions) they went alone (yeah, we know El Salvador and South Korea are helping, shame Turkey, Russia, France, i.e. the countires that count, did noe involve themselves on this sensless adventurims).
Practicall since the war "ended" the UK and US, realizing the mess they have got themselves inot, have been desperetaly trying to enlist their regular allies for help, something they would have got had they understood the those "pointless resolutions" had a point to make.
And it is the body of treaties that bound nation states.
The US is bound by the UN charter, which amongst many other things forbids to attack member states without provocation. Pray you tell US when did Iraq attack the US or any of its interests?
ALso nowhere in the resolutions that precluded this sorry conflict was any member state given permission to attcak and invade Iraq, thus any such action is illegal,
If you cost your work too cheap and refuse the loads of costumers that are requiring your services you are createing your ownd bankruptcy: all those eager costumers will not call you again, the few that hang on with you will not be enough to sustain your business proposition (because you are cahge too little) and you will go out of business.
You are forced to charge around what the market can bear, unless you find innovative procedures that allow you to provide good service for less money.
I do type rm -rf * here and there, but first I do a pwd, check I am where I want to be, check that the command line has what I want to do, I check again and then finally hit enter.
Not a single mistake during years of working life.
I find tremendously stupid to "enhance" reality by consistently trying to evade it.
People that regularly take drugs just do not realize the damage and grief they cause around them and the danger on which they put themseves, like if life itself, on its unadultared rawness, did not offer enough highs (and lows) to keep good naked monkeys like us entertained.
Having said this, I defend the right of any person to stone himself to death if that is his wish and if that does not put third parties at danger.
War on drugs is the dumbest idea ever invented, and the sooner their implementors and promoters are unmasked and made jobeless, the better for all.
Oh please, spare us the Matrix bullshit.

I wish I could slap you at this very moment.
No, I am not a violent person, but I believe you would come to realize there is somthing as reality once you feel the pain, see your blood driping on the floor and concentrate all your might on how to take revenge.
All this preposterous pseudo pilosohpy is all great as an exercise for the imagination, but in practical terms is all bullshit. AT the end you have to eat, evacuate, reproduce if you possibly can, and perhaps think a bit, to eventually be a goner forever.
All the rest is fluff, amuzing, but eventually completely useless.
Please ensure your Batcape does not get stuck when you close the door behind you.
Now that Batman is gone, don't tell him that to be on holiday si not equivalent to be on jail in complete isolation. Well it may be for some, but for people that need to be in touch back home or investigate the local scene, a handy Internet connection is very useful.

.... then they should release the DVD version first, and later the cut, theatrical version.

The replace Nazi for whatever game is frankly old and tired, and shows only a complete lack of tools to carry on an informed discussion.

Quite simple honestly.
The US and the UK are illegal warmongers.
... Simpson... DUH!
Pacifists oppose unnecessary, illegal wars.
Batman, pacisfists are biased against the US and the UK! Holly Bat-logical-thinking!
Well, in the immortal words of tha great thinker, Homer

.... like Solaris (looks down on linux bots) politely tell you those two have not been removed while doing all the rest.
.*
I guess that is the same with Linux nowadays, ok lemme see:
me@duende:~/perro/gato$ rm -rf
rm: cannot remove `.' or `..'
rm: cannot remove `.' or `..'
me@duende:~/perro/gato$
there ya go....
Solaris is the full operating enviornment.
SunOS is the oprating system, one part of the environment.
Solaris 9 includes SunOS 2.9
In a CV?
Jou are joking, aren't you?
Ther is not such thing as drug culture, or geek culture.
The individuals that are pigeonholed on either are so diverse that to pretend they are an homogenous bunch of people is completely ridiculous.
I find tremendously stupid to "enhance" reality by consistently trying to evade it.

Enough said.
No, unless they distribute it and are using software licensed under the GPL or something akin.
Have you read the GPL?
But your circumstances are not the norm.
In many places around the world the price of a computer or the infrastructure to support it (electricity) make cybercafes the only sane alternative.
Big Macs don't cost that in London. Perhaps more in the range of 2 US$
Hotels can be anything from 40 to 300 US$
Yes, gas is expensive.
In many places in $1 a day salaries a meal will cost you 10 cents or even less.
Please ensure your Batcape does not get stuck when you close the door behind you.
