  1. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    No. If you remember in ROTJ, it is not Luke that kills the Emperor... it is Vader. He does fulfill the prophecy... just 20 years later.

  2. Re:The Force is *retarded* with this one... on Britain's First Jedi Member of Parliament · · Score: 1

    True, but was Luke a truely pure Jedi? I'd be inclined to disagree. First off, his training was much shorter than any other Jedi's. It took Anakin how many years until he faced the trials, and he was on the accelerated path, so what kind of "we don't do this, or that" instruction did he receive. In addition, even when Luke battles Vader at the end, he does show the inclination of being tempted by the Dark Side. You see his anger, and his hate towards the Emperor, and he even uses this to disarm Vader in the battle. Any true Jedi would not have been this aggressive, as agression is not part of a Jedi's nature. So I would still argue that it is a Sith ability.

    "Force choke me. From where you are right now. Go ahead...it's OK."

    Everyone knows that a Jedi can't force choke someone, it's not in their nature. That's something that a Sith would do, and no one is claiming to be of the Sith religion. =)

  14. Re:I see two problems with this on 45GB Triple-Layer HD DVDs · · Score: 1

    1) Even if it has a "scratch-proof" surface, data gets much more delicate. Think about it, 45 GB of data on one disk. If this disk gets broken, you lose a whole lot more than having the data on 10 DVDs and losing one.

    You're right, we need to go back to floppies... let's play it safe.
