3. What is comedy relief doing in a serious space drama? Jar-jar should have been killed from the final cut.
I agree that the prequels majorly suck. It is just lacking something that I can't define that Episodes 4 and 5 (maaaybe 6) have. But what in god's name are you talking about? The original trilogy was FILLED with comic relief. I think the problem is BAD comic relief. There's nothing wrong with comic relief. And Star Wars was never "a serious space drama". It was great, and serious at times, but you're forgetting, there was plenty of comic relief.
Of course it was an ad hominem attack. That is what we are discussing: the nature of Mr. John Ashcroft. An ad hominem attack is a logically flawed way of invalidating someone else's logic by attacking their character. He wasn't saying "John Ashcroft's beliefs about X are wrong because he's a big fat idiot." He was saying "John Ashcroft is a big fat idiot because he locks up American Citizens indefinitely without any trial." Now explain to me, how is that a "groundless ad hominem attack"?
I have a Canon XL1 a camera that even the richest in america dont own/buy. because they cant see spending $4000.00 on a camcorder (as they dont use it for anything but screwing around) let alone usually dont have the cognitave skills to operate such a camera.
So then all we need is someone to make a Free, Open Source (or at the very least, free), P2P program/network that actually works as good as Kazaa (of course, for it to work like kazaa you need users...). Who will they crack down on then?
Besides, at this point it doesn't matter. The Kazaa network, as I understand it, is totally decentralized. Yes, there are supernodes, but like I said, as I understand it no one can shut it down now, without going after individual supernodes.

Actually, that's not the way the mp3 format works. Due to some really strange coincidence, all 0's happens to be "Rapper's Delight". It's weird, I know.
This movie is 100% CG, by the way. I know I'm posting realllly late, so probably no one will see this, but this commercial is totally CG. Even the title is a subtle reference to that fact, a sort of stuck out tongue to everyone's back. The title is "Cog". Think about it. I'm surprised slashdotters didn't pick up on this. It's really amazing, actually. This is probably the first totally CG production that fooled everyone, even slashdotters. Amazing.
But that's kind of the point. Most people don't bother because it's such a hassle, but they still buy the product because they believe that they will bother. They think they're getting a deal based on the assumption that they will follow through with the rebate.
That brings up an interesting question. Are you allowed to reverse engineer something to prove your innocence (or at least prove the possibility of your innocence) if such reverse engineering is against the DMCA?
I started smoking cigarettes, about 5 or 6 a day (up to 10, but usually less), and I lost some weight that way. I lost about 20 pounds. Apparently nicotine boosts your metabolism. Plus, I enjoy it.

Yeah, but it sucks that the penalties for child porn are the same regardless of whether the subject is 17 years old or 6 years old. There's a big difference, so why is the penalty the same?
but there is nothing inherently wrong with the swastiga. It was an ancient Roman and Hindu symbol for life. Look at some pre-1900s art and you'll find it a-plenty.
Yeah, check out the latest issue of Heeb Magazine for an article about this dude who is obsessed with the swastika, has it tattoed all over his body, and IS NOT a fascist, racist, nazi lover, hitler lover OR anti semite. He makes the same case that you do, that the swastika was around way before the Nazis, and he isn't going to let them ruin it. Apparently the swastika was a very common symbol found all over, in art, advertising, religion, before the Nazis hijacked it.
NO, you're WRONG. You might believe that, but you're still wrong. The idea of an impulse engine was not created by Star Trek, and it is still science fiction. Why don't you read the link I posted.
Actually, I believe kinetic energy is (m*v^2)/2 or "one half emm vee squared". m * v is impulse, I think (this I'm less sure of). Impulse is force * (amount of time force was applied), which is basically like saying (m*a)*t, and since a is in m/s^2, and t is in seconds, the final units will be the units of m times m/s or, kg * m/s. And m/s is velocity. So yes, I'm quite sure impulse is m*v. And I'm certain that kinetic energy is "one half emm vee squared".
Slashdot Mirror
You're absolutely right. But the prequels still SUCKED.

Um, you're gonna introduce people to Star Wars?
I'm not sure what your point is, but Luke Skywalker was really just a boy. Like 17 or 18 years old, as I see it.

Love it?! You're gonna like it!

I really like your explanation, by the way. Revenge explains quite nicely why the machines would choose humans.

Too expensive.
From 6 cigarettes a day?
Care to elaborate? How does the quality of life go down over time?
