Sounds good....I'll try practicing being a fucktard if you ABSOLUTELY PROMISE to keep being the perfect jerk off; that way only one of us is truly trying to change. Oh, and BTW, I already mastered the art of not caring what cumstains like you have to say; especially in forums where the only time you think you make a point (or a joke) is by calling someone a fucktard.
Does this also mean that agnostics will ban the use of American money? Seems a bit ironic to me that the same people who burn flags and protest our national pledge have no issues with our currency.
* The Jedi are guarding a room in a tower. This is in a culture where every vehicle has antigravity. Do they have guards looking outward? Surveillance cameras? Air defenses? Nah. A couple of guys outside the door and they think they have it covered. "They dont't need to; they have the powers of the force."
* In Episode 2, the Jedi find out that someone has ordered a clone army. But the people who built the clone army think the Jedi ordered it. The obvious move would have been to just take delivery - have the army shipped over to some Republic base. Or call HQ (which they demonstrably can do) and have final payment and transport sent over. But no, they have to do something stupid and heroic. "They did take delivery"
* When they have a ground battle, the tactics are out of Napoleon's era. That only worked when rates of fire were really low. Yet everybody is blasting away on full auto all the time. "It's a movie for Christ's sak"
You mean like when those 'towel heads' start partying in the streets and shooting guns in the air (while wearing Chicago Cubs shirts, btw) because terrorists took down 2 skyscrapers and 3000+ people? On the other hand, you're right. I would not have wanted to be on the death star either.....I'd rather have been in the WTC on 9/11.
I can't believe that anyone would even mod this post. It's abhorrent that someone would equate the actual deaths in a real terrorist attack to that of a fictional movie. I'm sure the original author of the 'The Princess Bride' had bin Laden in mind when he wrote a classic. I know you were trying to funny but as a person who lost a friend in the WTC bombing I find your post offensive; not just to me but also the memory of a victim.
Please don't speak for everyone and certainly don't speak for me. Have we, as a society, actually 'progressed' to the point where we blame Hollywood for all the world's ills? The leaders of Grenada, Nicaragua, Panama and certainly not Iraq, were NOT the defininitions of a 'benevolent legal order' pattern of thought. Why do certain people ALWAYS insist that an innocent science fiction movie, based on the old 'save the princess' premise, be the cause of all world conflict? I'm not ashamed of George and the entertainment he's provided to me. JMHO.
I believe, more to the point, that the IOC wants to see fairness. They want to see 'unenhanced' individuals competing on their abilities and not their country's financial status to expend resources on drugs to improve performance; which I also believe is the intent of the games. Eastern Germany was a prime example of that in women's weight lifting during the games. By letting these practices go on, it's only a matter of financing rather than a test of skill or competence. I personally agree with the IOC and I wish that philosophy would be enforced in American sports; which we all know it is not.
I STILL can't surf for porn on Windows anymore; Blaster killed my surf capabilities and the recent rash of volatile code on websites won't let me even VIEW certain websites without shutting down. Sheesh, what's the world coming to when you can't even view a b-rated porn site?
Please don't play the dollar game. I realize that MS has HORDES of money, but the way you explain it implies that if they just throw 500 million dollars at a project to 'fix' something it's that easy. Even a '1 million dollar company' is truly not a 1 million dollar company; hence downsizing and layoffs. I'd much rather be the manager of a $100,000.00 company making a profit than a $10,000,000,000.00 losing money....hell, look at Enron. Again, I'm not saying that MS does not have the resources or willingness to correct these issues, it's just not always that easy.
I've also used both software programs but I'm still an avid TaxCut user and have been since 1997. It's somewhat amazing, in 1999 I PURCHASED TaxCut, Turbo Tax and Tax Saver just to see the differences. I entered all the same information into each of the three programs (took about 3 days, btw) and received 3 different tax return results; TaxCut returning the most. I reviewed each of the 3 results several times for accuracy and could not account for the discrepancies. I'm not a CPA or tax lawyer so I count on the software package I purchase to correctly identify the proper exemptions and ask the right questions for a proper return. IMO, TaxCut asks more thorough questions throughout the tutorial to ensure a proper return filing than the other 2 and the results are double checked with an 'audit buster' feature that even analyzes differences in your W2 statements (like 401k programs). I'm an avid TaxCut user because I trust it, it's thorough and I've always received the best return based on its analysis. Just my HO.

I think, at this point, I agree with you. Maybe if we all stop talking about it and let the teeny bands die out the RIAA will get the message. It just occurred to me that the more forums like this one keep talking about it without legitimate action, the bigger the movement gets. It's all relative and relatively speaking, I don't give a shit anymore either. I haven't purchased a CD in the last 2 years anyway, so it's not like it will 'cramp my style'. Problem is we apparently still have 12 year old girls and 76 year old grandmothers who can make the case against us. What a shame.
I think I SHOULD feel like I'm getting a blowjob when I drink a Fanta; the commercials sure portray that genre. Besides, I'd NEED a bj to drink a Fanta.
I respect your opinion, however at the end of the day that's all it is; an opinion. Your representatives also represent [x] amount of people who also have opinions; some of them spammers. I AM IN NO WAY sticking up for spammers, however restrict the rights of one and you end up restricting the rights of many. A downfall, to be sure, however I'd rather be scrutinized by my peers than be prosecuted by the government.
Why wouldn't you want to be held accountable for software you've developed? If it's good...NP. I wouldn't want to buy a car (old analogy, I know) from a company that didn't warrant their product. Even THOSE warranties seem to be slimming down lately though too.
I know this will sound like a troll and you're making a funny, but outside of the 'security' features in Office I like the extended functionality (not the help features you describe, but you can turn those off). In a less than perfect world, I've found the format features in Word and the expanded capabilities of Excel to be quite useful both at home and at work. Just my $.02

Very insightful indeed; almost philosophical. You are a social and literary genius!

Well written, and well trolled
80% report as using IE........why is that surprising? I thought it would be higher.

Star Wars is not dead.....at least not to me. Deal with it.
Or....you could have just read the book.

No disrespect intended, but isn't this an opinion forum?

"They just thought....."; THAT'S the problem, just like MS "thought" they were providing a better service.
Jesus...the overlord thing is old

I believe the phrase was 'business'; not 'ALL business'.
But at least he may bring the waste to the taxpayer's eye; that's the first step. Where do you think it'll go from there?
