A new director would do good for SW. Think of what it did for The Empire Strikes Back, which is the best episode IMHO.
Lucas seems to have a few cliched (if I may say so) fixations on SW - A Roman like Arena in every episode; hands being cut off with light sabres; a vehicle chase and so on and so forth. While these instruments added to the Story in TESB, they tend to be the story these days. On second thought, these have been borrowed from the original SW while nothing new has been added as one would hope.
SW is fast becoming a translation of current day world to galactic terms. Since when did Jedi start saying "This is Jedi Business, every body relax" after bar brawls? Sounds too much like Police or FBI. I am sure that whatever his shortcomings, Steven Sp. can do a better job. The romance scenes from Ep II could do with a new director anyway.
And let me not get started on the script. I am sure that any sensible director would avoid too many "My young apprentice" and "You should not - we must not" stuff.
Look here for news updates on the crash.
Excerpt from the site: Tuesday, September 11, 2001 (New York):
Two aircraft smashed into the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center at 9 am (1300 GMT) today.
The crashes by the two aircraft into each of the twin towers have raised concerns that terrorists may have launched an attack on the tallest buildings in the city. Television footage showed smoke and flames billowing from the building.
More than 40,000 people work at the World Trade Center. The downtown Manhattan complex comprises two buildings, with more than 400 firms from over 25 countries. More than 100,000 visitors come to New York's Twin Towers every day.

Hello 2343786543832,
I disagree with your posting regarding Linux. As 7658934526548 said in his last post, samba can help bridge the compatibility gap between Linux and NT systems in a network as far as file sharing is concerned. But if you look at what 567534291836543 has to say, this has already been tested and verified by the lads at 5674530231785's lab.
Eric S. Raymond had helped design and maintain the free ISP for Chester County, called Chester County Interlink. Their mission is "to ensure that Chester County residents and organizations have easy and equitable electronic access to information while encouraging interaction among them as part of an electronic community".
Perhaps Hosuton based hackers could help out in similar ways, lending expertise if not equipment?
There have been incidents of computers outwitting humans in Chess which is a fixed logic game - that is to say that there is a limit to the individual moves that can be performed by a piece.
Now, would the results be the same for a not-so-fixed logic game, such as a wargame?
Those who play computer games will know that playing against humans is more challenging and interesting any day than playing against the AI. Is this a limitation of the processing power/programs available to PCs or is it a fundamental limitation with computers?

No, but I *do* know of many "software" companies which don't even know of such things :P
More dilbert, anyone?
