It is official; Box Office confirms: *BSD is dying
One more crippling bombshell hit the already beleaguered Star Wars community when IDC confirmed that Star Wars market share has dropped yet again, now down to less than a fraction of 1 percent of all screens. Coming on the heels of a recent Hollywood survey which plainly states that Star Wars has lost more market share, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. Star Wars is collapsing in complete disarray, as fittingly exemplified by failing dead last in the recent Movie Goer comprehensive movie test.
You don't need to be a Kreskin to predict Star Wars's future. The hand writing is on the wall: Star Wars faces a bleak future. In fact there won't be any future at all for Star Wars because Star Wars is dying. Things are looking very bad for Star Wars. As many of us are already aware, Star Wars continues to lose market share. Red ink flows like a river of blood.
AToC is the most endangered of them all, having lost 93% of its core actors. The sudden and unpleasant departures of long time Star Wars `actors' jar-jar and Yoda only serve to underscore the point more clearly. There can no longer be any doubt: AToC is dying.
Let's keep to the facts and look at the numbers.
Star Wars ringleader Lucas states that there are 3,161 screens for starwars. How many digital screens are there? Let's see. The number of Analog versus Digital posts on Usenet is roughly in ratio of 5 to 1. Therefore there are about 3,165/5 = 633 digital viewers. A recent article put repeat Star Wars viewers at about 80 percent of the Star Wars market. Therefore there are (3,161+366)/4 = 881 Star Wars users. This is consistent with the number of Star Wars Usenet posts.
Due to the troubles of Hollywood, abysmal sales and so on, Lucasfilms went out of business and was taken over by Senator Hollings, who works for another troubled movie franchise. Now Senator Hollings is also dead, its corpse turned over to yet another charnel house.
All major surveys show that Star Wars has steadily declined in market share. Star Wars is very sick and its long term survival prospects are very dim. If Star Wars is to survive at all it will be among DivX dabblers. Star Wars continues to decay. Nothing short of a miracle could save it at this point in time. For all practical purposes, Star Wars is dead.
Isn't it obvious, they are clearing way for a new hyperspace bypass. It has been filed in the local planning office for 1000 years, and you didn't even bother to look?
You really need to start taking a more active role in your gov..

yes, I was really impressed by *some* of the acting in the trial; alot of it was mediocre though.
to answer your "civil rights" question, I think with competition the north would actually be *more* open than the US currently is, as they would insist on 100% rights protection, for all class/race/ect, whereas the south might be letting women vote in the last 50 years.
um no, my entire towns cable modem pipe are 3 oc3's, which are not even close to what a full load would require. It's not an 'arbitrary' point, it's what I pay for, and you do as well. Use some common decency when your using a shared pipe, your neighbors will appreciate it.
I'm not saying that linux needs to rule the desktop, but saying you don't like the GUI is far diffrent from not wanting to learn how to configure it.
I honestly see linux as a programmers playground, and a server enviroment; it's fairly ill suited for most other tasks (though, I would'nt find it hard to set up a 'desktop' machine for an older person who wanted it anymore, I still don't think it's the best suited choice for that envirment)
erm, linux is a kernel. Why don't you try afterstep or windomaker if you don't like whatever WM you were using. I use as daily and I find it's more intuitive than m$ interface once you get it to your liking.
They are removing Perl from the configure/system scripts, and taking perl out of the *base* system. They did this for realistic reasons, not because they are 'limiting a choice'. And on most machines it will be installed by default anyway (just not used when you do something like compile your kernel).
Choic is good. But I don't like to have bijilions of programs chosen for me I'd never use. Make a nice minimalistic choice for me, and I'll pkg_add -r "perl5.6.1" when it fits best.

once again, Anonymous Coward shows his lack of understanding of technology by posting this fud.
I thought the matrix had decent special effects, and I dread britney spears.
I listen to trance (hard trance on www.di.fm), and clasical music, with some alternative thrown in when I feel like it.
That dosen't mean I have to embrace things that fuck up your body, I view drugs equally wrong as cigaretts, because they are *bad for you*. Thats the end of the story, things that cause mental problems, health problems, and several are cancer causing, are not something I would willingly spend money on..
I'm me to say meth is bad because I know it totally fucks your brain, even on small dosages used a single time.
If I had said pot then you would have an argument, since the most common side effect of normal pot smoking is ~= to cigs, but considering I live in the meth capital of the US, I think I know what meth does to people.
I got rid of the roomate because we didn't get along, the fact he had 200+ gigs of illegal software/movies/songs and a crackpipe on his desk didn't help me like him any more.
I got rid of him, because it's annoying as hell watching pirates like that who pirate for the sake of it. I personally don't pirate, but I don't mind people who are trying to get something they couldn't get for money (eg, not cause its free, but because they put dvd region regulations in ect). I do mind anyone who thinks they have a moral right to have anything free that is avadiable free. It's like saying doing meth is ok, because its possible to get meth; the existance of something isn't the justification for it being right.
anyway, have you tried FreeBSD, you could use a ports/package system like they, it works 99.999999% of the time and I have yet to see a configuration problem caused by it, and I dare say its a slightly more complex OS than windows if you exclude ActiveX functionality.

most of the monolouges were suke though.
I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, bravo man.
I'm sure the techie who got it about died laughing.

it seems to render fine in Moz rc2, you should try it in that..
I use mozilla at my bank (firstar.com -- proy gona become usbank.com soon) every week or so, it renders beautifully.
It's one of the reasons they have my account instead of the competition, and I let them know that whenever I can.

I don't think ogg can stream; can it?
aaron's and myers could mess that up me thinks
I haven't read in -1 for a long time, this is a interesting troll. I love how you mutilated the *BSD troll and made it sound origional.
Thanks for the laugh

wow for a 2000 year old religion that must be a really long time, good thing your using that as your example of how perfect they are.
the person you just described is obsessive.
I had a roomate like that.
I got rid of him, because it's annoying as hell watching pirates like that who pirate for the sake of it.

wait did you just praise MSDN?!?
k...
I was with you until that point.
anyway, have you tried FreeBSD, you could use a ports/package system like they, it works 99.999999% of the time and I have yet to see a configuration problem caused by it, and I dare say its a slightly more complex OS than windows if you exclude ActiveX functionality.
