By the time ROTJ came out, Leia was planned to be his sister, so they neatly tied the loose end created by the ESB line with Yoda's dying words of
Yoda died in/Jedi/. In ESB it was "there is another."
"There is another...Sky...walk...er". /Jedi/
Except that the new episodes had to go and spoil that idea. Because in the new episodes, we see that Obi-Wan not only has full knowledge of Leia's existence. He was there for her birth and saw her handed off to the Organas who would take her to Alderaan. As such, he certainly knows of her identity and her ties to Luke, so it makes no sense that Yoda would have to explain that again in ESB.
Ah, I see your error. Eps 1-3 and 4-6 take place in different universes. The Ep 1-3 universe has a Kenobi who is at most 40 years old when Luke is born. In the 4-6 universe, Luke is 16 and Kenobi is at a minimum 80 years old. Probably more like 120-150 because he's a Jedi. "Surely he must be dead by now". Same with Anakin, he's rightly at least 80 years old when the mask comes off and Luke is no more than 35.
So, Disney has full rights and reign to reboot 1-3 in the consistent universe with 4-6. Then we can forget about all this non-canon nonsense.
Yes, climate change is the real looming problem for domestic security when mass starvation is on the horizon... the parents of children killed in Obombya drone strikes are probably low-risk too. Good job with the analysis guys - who's the beneficiary? The folks building integral fast reactors? Oh, whoops, no, the solutions are illegal.
When an Apple team visited, the Chinese plant's owners were already constructing a new wing. "This is in case you give us the contract," the manager said, according to a former Apple executive. The Chinese government had agreed to underwrite costs for numerous industries, and those subsidies had trickled down to the glass-cutting factory. It had a warehouse filled with glass samples available to Apple, free of charge. The owners made engineers available at almost no cost. They had built on-site dormitories so employees would be available 24 hours a day.
The Chinese plant got the job.
"The entire supply chain is in China now," said another former high-ranking Apple executive. "You need a thousand rubber gaskets? That's the factory next door. You need a million screws? That factory is a block away. You need that screw made a little bit different? It will take three hours."
Doesn't matter, they should subpoena his ass. This doesn't make the information in your head go away, or any less valid. Over all, it seems like the underside of the Benghazi bus is getting pretty crowded with all the people being thrown under it.
The Senate Intelligence Committee has already removed him from the schedule. This is how you cover up that the US State Department operation in Benghazi was a cover for a CIA operation (they were watching Libyans smuggle Gadaffi's weaponry to the Syrian rebels).
And Swing states were nearly as relevant as people had thought.
Not sure what this means... but Romney had to win them all to just tie up the EC (and hope to win in the territories) but nobody who knows how to do math expected that he would.
1) they did, you're just not counting for inflation 2) improved safety means fewer fatalities and more hospitalization bills 3) false premise. I'm in NH - no seatbelt laws, very low insurance rates. Mandatory insurance means the insurers can collude to set an artificial pricing floor.
the teabaggers want 0% tax, no social security, no gun control and free enterprise reigning supreme.
Sounds good, but the Tea Party hasn't stood for that since at least 2009. They now seem to want a balanced budget while preserving all the programs that break it. And theocracy-lite and foreign wars to promote it.
There are seventy-five billion stars in our closest quarter of the galaxy. Star Trek has perhaps a few dozen major species, so it seems entirely consistent with a declining universe.
BTW, very little SciFi dares talk about life beyond the Milky Way and Star Trek rarely leaves the 'Alpha Quadrant'. And yet there are as many galaxies out there than there are stars within our own.
Over a population, certain individuals will likely benefit from almost anything. Drawing conclusions for the population will be impossible and doing so will produce errors.
However, for a society to work, we need to have rules. Just like it's bad logic to say, "I'm bigger than you, therefore I'm going to take your stuff," it's bad logic to say, "I know how to steal and publish these secrets, so I will."
If you give a group of men a monopoly on violence and then allow then to keep their actions secret from the people to whom they have nominal accountability: You're Gonna Have a Bad Time.
Several people in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Iran have been taken into custody/and or killed due information provided in the release of these documents. This is not a harmless crime.
And yet the government hasn't charged that, AC. Are you a paid misinformation agent?
Meanwhile, he may very well have saved tens of thousands of lives and helped spread democracy to the Middle East.
Oh, look, the State destroying a business and free choice in the first part of the summary and then the State enabling people to harass other people over imaginary property in the second. Thank goodness they're around to keep things civil.
I recall seeing this building on a DVD extra from one of the Miyazaki films (Ponyo?) so it's one of Jobs's accomplishments from before he became very ill. I think the non-yacht came from the period where he was suffering and also saw his wealth skyrocket, which may explain quite a bit.
He may have been a callous asshole, but this campus is very nicely done. No doubt he claimed credit for the work of hundreds of others on the project as well.
how are they going to hire extra developers to keep the edge over LLVM?
that's the beauty of open source - LLVM devs are GCC's extra devs.
They'll do experiments, try different techniques, and generally waste all sorts of time chasing dead ends that the gcc folks won't have to do. When the LLVM folks find a winner that's also applicable to the gcc model, all the gcc devs have to do is implement it. Their natural human drive for improvement, challenge, and excellence will compel them to compete.
And the same goes for gcc devs chasing their experiments and the LLVM folks learning from it. Compiler techniques are still new and evolving so there's still much to be learned and the leading edge is always new and experimental so there's lots of room for both to improve. Rising tides will lift all boats.
Fortunately there's no Berne-convention style automatic patents on ideas so they can freely float back and forth without license problems, even if the code is encumbered by copyright.
PS the comments below will now point out that the two compilers use different sorts of backends and that advances in one won't necessarily be applicable to the other and that 'just implementing it' is a hard problem. Thank you, guys.
It works in Coursera too. Prospective employers pay for access to top talent. This strategy is straight out of The Market for Liberty - it just took 50 more years for the technology to make the ideas feasible. Some of their ideas still require more technological advances.
and... that's why Minnesota is trying to ban them. They have a model that will obsolete the State's role in education which is a major power crisis.
Wat? Kal El didn't travel to Earth FTL. Relativistic speeds, sure, but there is no problem with light observation. Well, Brainiac might hack the Hubble and feed false results...

At the very least, make it legal to reverse engineer and distribute fixes/functionality without fear of retribution.
Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. Not land of the free and whimpy.
Be free, don't beg for it.
BTW, they should sell the domains to SchedulesDirect for $1 to at least make a passing attempt at not hating their customers.
Naming the roads 'Canal St', 'Water St.', etc. 1821 to 2012 is too long a period for oral history to be effective.

You don't talk about inconvenient things during a Congressional hearing.
And that's what percentage?
4/10ths of 1%.
And Swing states were nearly as relevant as people had thought.

Do they even have "the Internets" in trailer parks, yet? I would think it wouldnn't ve economical to lay down the tubes there.
You might be surprised to learn that your average trailer park superintendent may have more experience running a WiFi mesh network than you do.
The margins are alot higher than the Republicans want to admit...this was a first class ass whooping.
You do realize that the combined margins of all the swing states is about 450K votes, right? That's not a huge percentage.
I'm still waiting for the rates to go down.
Several possibilities:
1) they did, you're just not counting for inflation
2) improved safety means fewer fatalities and more hospitalization bills
3) false premise. I'm in NH - no seatbelt laws, very low insurance rates. Mandatory insurance means the insurers can collude to set an artificial pricing floor.
The are going to be locked in solitary for years for revealing State Secrets, right?

Hasn't been "neocons" since 2010.
Well, sure, the neocons got a new figurehead in 2009.

Apple has submitted a lawsuit claiming the name of building infringes on various trademarks and copyrights.
And named Samsung as a co-defendant, just for kicks.

throw something up on ehow at least, eh? I've got a private fiber to try this out on.
poor little me doesn't have a copy of Nature Photonics from May 2011.
Let he who is without transgression launch the first low-orbit ion cannon.
