The reason that spiderman trumped star wars isn't because it's a better movie or because of the love story. It's because it's probably the first marvel movie to have a plot that most nerds can appreciate - and it's an OLDER story, older than star wars. Spiderman has been around longer. And you're wrong about the hype. Spiderman has been hyped just as much, if not more. Just look at the last few months of releases from marvel comics, and how many commercials are using spidey as a mascot now.
The list has to be a joke.
What about the following movies:
Destination Moon
Invaders from Mars
Fantastic Voyage
It came from Outer Space
Fahrenheit 451
When Worlds Collide
The Blob
1984
Dr. Strangelove (well, maybe not)
War of the Worlds (!)
The Thing
Invasion of the Body Snatchers
The andromeda strain
Fantastic Planet
Westworld
Having the matrix beat out any of the above shows exactly how silly it is. And what's this Barbarella shit? There are teems of drug-influenced sci fi movies with naked women that are better.

It has to conserve not only ansular momentum but the original magnetic field of the star. As I understand it, the radiation that you see coming from the poles of a neutron star is due to magnetic reconnection and particles that find themselves free to leave the B-field. Since quarks are charged particles (and neutrons aren't) then I would suspect that any of the localized charged particles would either escape due to the lorentz force or accrete quickly.
But I could be wrong.

Educated guesses.
We don't *know* anything about these things apart from what we can measure in the field, so to speak. And being WAY WAY wrong is inevitable in this type of field.
There's nothing we can do about it at this point. We can't physically go to the nearest black hole or neutron star candidate because it's too far away. The only thing we can do is try to apply the physics that we have so far to the data that we measure from stellar objects.
Every theory and postulate that we have is based upon our observations of the nearby planets, the sun, and experiments that we do in the lab. It's the best thing we can do right now.
He's right. Redhat is well known for releases that have lots of problems - if you disagree, just look at the updates directory at your favorite release site.
Instead of pushing 90% of their company to sell sell sell, maybe they should push 80% and let the other 10% work on fixing holes.

Hey troll,
Your numbers are bad.
Getting stats from usenet posts is a joke.
To use your method:
I see ~700 posts in comp.os.linux.
Adding the comp.os.ms-windows/nt/dos/95 groups, I see ~300 posts.
Between open/freebsd, I see ~1000 posts.
VMS has ~3000 posts.
Therefore, using tard(tm) logic like you have, VMS has 3x more users than BSD, 10x more users than windows, and about 4x as many users as linux.
I've been running linux since kernel 0.99pl14. I like the hardware support, but freebsd has matured so much and is so much more stable that I moved away from linux to an all-freebsd environment.
For those of you that bitch about the time between releases, just look at debian. And learn how to cvsup.:)
My primary machine right now is a 533sx, still an alpha. I run redhat on it because frankly, debian imho still sucks on alpha.
You guys are forgetting that debian isn't the only thing to run on these boxes. Slackware has an alpha port, redhat works, suse does as well. Freebsd runs very nicely on these machines - in fact, the only reason I'm not running it now is because my video card is flakey under it, but I have an alphastation as a firewall running it.
Compaq even has betas of their fortran, c, and c++ compiler to make things that much smoother.
Just because a person has the 'freedom' to think whatever they want doesn't give them the _right_ to act upon those thoughts. Free access to information does occur in china, just not on the same scale as the united states. In the US I don't have the _right_ to access my neighbor's kid's criminal record, because that information is "filtered" by the US goverment and kept away from the public. I also don't have the _right_ to access conversations between therapists and patients. Other things fall into this category, like credit card numbers, unlisted phone numbers, etc.
You're enjoying the benefits of censorship right now.
How would you like it if I gave your unlisted telephone number to telemarketers, and disabled those telephone zappers that confuse their autodialers because "telemarketers have a right to KNOW what you think"?
How would you like it if I shared every single credit card number that you have with every single script kiddie I know? They have a right to that information.
How would you like it if your marital counselling records were public record and I shared them with everyone else because "others have a right to know what kind of mistakes people make".
That censorship is maintaining your privacy.
It's a different country. Get used to the idea that other countries treat their citizens differently than the united states.
Jesus, people. There are no "inalienable rights" being violated here. It's not like chinese citizens are born with ethernet cables hanging out of their asses and require an hour of net access a day in order to survive. It's not like we in the rest of the world have any "rights" to *any* data at all in china.
It completely ruins the ability for a student to do basic math skills. I teach college-level classes in which lots of math is involved, and I've seen kids use a calculator to add 50 to 50.

So. The only contribution that redhat has ever made that was worthwhile to the linux community might be headed out the door.
What a legacy.
