Anakin doesn't know his father. It is obvious that the two generations (Anakin and Luke) were say gifted. It'd be reasonable to assume that Anakin's father had such a force as the next two generations. Who was he? Yoda?
I remember Anakins mother saying there was no father. It was an immaculate conception brought about by these miticlorians or whatever they are called. I read it as a way to make him seem more messiah like since he was supposed to be 'the chosen one'.
And I will state again, anyone who clicks a link in any email that came from some unknown original is a fucking nitwit -- regardless of what it claims to be.
The general public is not as educated on the subject as you are. What about some elderly person who just got a computer as a present so that their grandkids can send email. Are they a nitwit because they click on a link that says cheaper prescriptions?
These spammers are predators and this action is a good thing. Just because you are too 'smart' to be fooled by these people doesn't make everyone else a nitwit. Self-righteous geeks really bother me. Remember, it's because most people aren't computer literate or even want to be that keeps us geeks working.
What's weirder is that there was a story a few weeks back about a boat off the coast of California in international waters where some off-shoring was taking place. Some people cracked jokes about Petoria. That particular episode of Family Guy was on Adult Swim as well, the previous night.
What's up with that?!
It's called synchronicity. Look for it and you will notice many more examples of it.
..."Pushing" these things is part of the job... ...We put the stickers on the case because it is part of SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)...
Just because you are required to do these things to keep your job doesn't make them any less irritating to the customer. And it's this very practice that keeps me from spending my money in these stores.
I have always hated this company and it's a pleasure watching the painful death of this bloated beast called Blockbuster. I will joyfully dance on their grave after the final breath is gasped.
but I ask how a company can market something as the be-all-end-all of portable entertainment and ship it with 32 Megabytes of storage space. My friend says he thinks the Sony PSP developers are stuck back in 1993 or something.
Maybe stuck in 1998. In 1993 32MB was an ocean of memory.
Wow it's really scary when the standard slashdotter would prefer digitized boobies over the real thing... Not to say that the standard slashdotter has ever seen the real thing, much less left his parents basement
Well what other kind of boobies can there be after all of our brains have been downloaded into robots.
The anonymity is about to end. Prepare for closed, DRM enabled net hardware and licensed OS software (OSS will become illegal). It is coming and I am a small cog in the machine helping it to become a reality.
Well, I hope this 'machine' that your are a 'cog' in works well when the wooden shoes are thrown into it.
Yes, a quick google search taught me that much. I thought I'd try to make a joke...clearly I should have put an LOL after it so every one understood?
Any humor your post may have caused is overshadowed by the irritation your ipod spam sig causes. Don't expect much laughs as long as you use slashdot to troll for suckers.
Are you referring to Vietnam? Hmm...people attribute the current war in Iraq as a product of the conservative ignorance, but here, Vietnam happened when you state the pendulum swung back away from such a horrible thing.
You can't have your cake and eat it to.
Hmm... you might want to brush up on your history a bit. The Vietnam War was begun by Eisenhower during the late 50's, right at the peak of the period I was referring to.
By the mid-sixties the American people began to grow weary of sacrificing our soldiers to support a meaningless war. That was but one of the catalysts that brought about the radical change.
Although many support the policies of the current administration I think people will begin to grow tired of our soldiers being sacrificed again for a war that we were lied and manipulated into supporting.
Too late, however. Karl Rove (using Dubya) has already harnessed too much hate power for America to survive.
Not too late. The pendulum swings back and forth. The US was stuck in the same if not worse conservative ignorant situation in the late 50's - early 60's. Then the pendulum swung back with a vengeance. I think the same will happen again when people realize where the policies of the current administration are taking this country.
Entire episodes revolving around the most minute details as an excuse to avoid using any special effects at all kill me.
Special effects are supposed to carry the story, not be it. This seems to be the point that creators of most sci-fi movies and series don't seem to understand.
I think the new BSG series uses effects very well to carry the story without overwhelming us with laser blasts and CGI. The sets also have a 'real' feeling to them as opposed to Star Treks plastic universe.
Ive heard that there are some americans who take religion very seriously but surely that couldnt be this bad!
In my early 20's I got a case of what a friend of mine likes to call AOC(Adult Onset Christianity). And speaking as a former victim of this horrible mind virus I can say that they can very well be this bad and much, much worse.

Hopefully, George Lucas will not destroy his own creation by cheapening it.
You're right, he would never do something cheap like allowing his characters to appear in diet pepsi commercials or something.
Doh!
I say let Tim Burton take a crack at it.

When will it end? When will the American people get so sick of being fucked over that we actually stand up and DO something about it?
When we stop being sedated by SUV's and Plasma TV's.
And we don't have time to noticed we are being fucked over because we are working so many hours to pay off the SUV's and Plasma TV's.
So, I guess never.
This is all Lincolns fault!
Heh. That episode was on last night.

Wouldn't the aliens be in a different region code?
No. They have underwater bases in both hemispheres.

It was a short story in N-Space called "The Hole Man" by Larry Niven. Here karma karma, come here karma
Oh look, the karma is running away. Bye karma, bye bye karma.

Please, no. Just let it get cancelled and go the way of the dodo like it should!
Well, you could just not watch it. Wouldn't that be the same as if it was cancelled?
I'm not a huge fan but I do enjoy watching it. While you who hates it could simply turn the channel.
Then everyone is happy.
I'm one of the best game designers out there and I've predicted the rise and fall of many game genres.
And many of the waiters I know are the best actors out there.

Not a troll, I meant it.
The correect capitalization is "Nazis."
I purposely leave out that 'honor' for them, they don't deserve it. The same goes for god.
