How's come it took a(n apparent) furiner to first make this observation in this thread?
GWB will keep thumping the recession drum until enough people buy into it for his tax cut to pass through Congress.
He owes a lot of big bidnesses for that US$100million of campaign money he amassed in the last 2 years. The tax cut (proposed as retroactive!!) is just the repayment these Corporations and Big Bidnessmen are looking for - cold hard cash.
Look for the scraps of the tax cut to be divided 100 million ways among us "normal" taxpayers. Too small to be noticable.
People who've been Apple watchers/users for long enough know Apple falmebait when they see it. Proclamations of Firewire being dead when it's still being born fit the description. It is unfortunate that the official introduction wasn't filled with less drama, but c'est la vie...
In fact, since we humans have no bone in our penis, pleasure is prerequisite to procreation. Pleasure creates erection, erection makes procreation possible. I'm not saying you're wrong, just a little backwards in your argument. pleasure is *not* a side-affect of sex. It's the other way around.
We're an NT shop at work, but being in the WAN field, I'm interfacing with *nix boxes every day to do my job.
I have to use OpenView and Newbridge's 46020 every day.
I have a laptop the NT on it (no heckling, please) with eXceed as my X Server.
Now, just because these NMS's (OpenView, 46020) run on *nix doesn't mean you get a genuis included to install the package or design the LAN/WAN that supports them.
It so happens, there's no windowing system to use on the OpenView system and the 46020 system only has OpenWindows.
To anyone who's used CDE (Common Desktop Envirnment)/HP-Vue/et al., you know that it provides a kind of functionality you can't do without.. Things the NT, OpenWin, etc environments just can't/don't do.
So, given the beauty of X, I can solve the problems created by our "wizards" mainting the NMS's.
I have an old Sparc 10 on my LAN that has CDE on it. I configure eXceed to connect to this Sparc 10 at startup time, I log into my account there, and run OpenView and 46020 in separate workspaced within CDE. With eXceed running in full-screen mode, it's "just like being there".

Wow.
There's nothing that precludes art, money and Lucas from all existing together - even merchandising can be in there.
Lucas invented Star Wars, made the movies and deserves to make whatever he can from it.
As far as the merchandising, someone else here hit the nail on the head:
You can't stop people from buying what they want.
If he releases a Star Wars movie - people are going to want all kinds of related merchandise. Star Wars won't happen any other way in our world.
Feel free to ignore one of the ugly sides of capitalism.
My point is: Go watch the movie.
If you don't like it, bitch to Lucas.
If you like it...hooray!

I love X.

Utterly beautiful.
