  1. Re:If only on Classic Star Wars Trilogy Finally on DVD · · Score: 1

    I've had this argument with a fellow Star Wars fanatic who feels that once Anakin turned the Dark Side controlled him completely. While that maybe in keeping with the Jedi way of thinking it really doesn't make sense to anyone who isn't a religious zealot.
    br>The plot I envisioned watching the preview was Anakin turning on Obi Wan first, since they had so much history together and a precedent for icy exchanges, then getting tossed in the lava which would make anyone snap. It also ties in a lot better with Obi Wan blaming himself, Vader blaming him, etc. That is the only way I could see someone going from good to bad like that.

    Legolas, and Gimli trying to one up each other was in the original book though... which was well before the advent of video games. Not to say there have not been a lot of less than ground breaking video games dashed out to take advantage of LOTR's success as well..

  3. Re:irrational fear? on Feds Kill Check Point's Sourcefire Bid · · Score: 1

    I knew I should have used the word some since the U.S. Government is such a broad body of organizations. So allow me to rephrase that some areas of the U.S. Government don't use Check Point due to the fact it is developed in another country. Likely the same groups that opposed this merger.

    To clarify snort is to sourcefire what fedora is to redhat enterprise linux. (I forget what I got on my SAT.) So the developers of snort are trying to make some money by marketing a pre built platform "SourceFire". Also I have heard that even though Check Point is used by many fortune 500 companies it is not used by the U.S. Government because it is developed in another country.
