The original trilogy is unaffected by the midichlorian nonsense, at least until Lucas goes in and does some more Special Edition fuckery, and even *then*, the original movies on LD and tape and whatever will still be fine.
PJ's trilogy doesn't alter or taint the original LotR tome.
The new Dune books don't taint the originals.
The new Foundation books don't taint the originals.
"Lord of the Rings", the story, will not be damaged by this new game - you'll still be able to walk to the library and check it out and read it in all its original glory.
It will without a doubt throw the whole Middle Earth lore right down the shitter
It has about as much chance of doing that as the new Star Wars movies doing that to the lore of the original ones, or as the new Dune books doing it to the lore of the original six, or as the new Foundation books doing it to the lore of Asimov's series.
Ah, I see, yeah, that makes more sense - helps to be accurate in that sort of thing, btw. You made it sound like they were calling the actual voting site or something.
Yep, that was very wrong. Looks like McGee and probably some others will be getting some jail time for that. Hope they rot.
Btw, what is tying up phone lines supposed to do during an election? You can't vote over the phone. You can't register over the phone. So that wouldn't prevent anyone from either voting or registering.
Your post will always be readable here, even at -1. Furthermore, it is attached to a post that isn't likely to be modded past the first page and would still be available and readable regardless, therefore your voice here is less 'silenced' than the RNC's voice potentially will be. According to your own logic, anyway.
No, the point is that left-leaners tend to think they're the be-all-end-all of fairness, tolerance, kindness, and generosity, and that the right is the antithesis of all these things. And then they go and support and excuse crap like this.
They *already* claim the right is not these things, so that is not the issue here.
Well, guess I was half-right - I knew they didn't just change their name to Roxio, but I didn't know they were a spin-off company. Everything I read about it make it seem like it was sold off to someone else.
Keyword is 'large'. Embedded systems should have exactly what they need to run whatever they're tasked with running, and nothing else. No fluff or cruft to get in the way or bog anything down or provide any networked backdoors for people who shouldn't be messing with it.
His point has less to do with hacking and more to do with bloat and system resources.

Sorry, I'll try it in English this time:
New stuff doesn't screw the old stuff.

That is, none.

Do you think two wrongs make a right?
Oh yeah, gotta love the cowards who modded me Overrated. How convenient that they should both use the one downmod that doesn't get M2'd.
How very tolerant and open-minded of them. Thanks for proving my point, guys =)
Link?

But of course, the current spin is that it's actually the Republicans themselves doing this...
Buy stock in tinfoil, it's only gonna get more entertaining as we get closer to November. =)
"tolerance" and "open-mindedness"
He got it!
There's always 1048576 to look forward to...
Heh, actually, you did get it.
But they'd be ruled out anyway, because Daleks aren't robots.
Yah, tell me about it.. I got a Flamebait for making an Evil Dead reference, of all things. Teh.
I'll render your soul! Render your soul!!
Nearly all female subroutines appear to be written in it.
For anyone wondering the value of college, just refer to this post to see what happens when you haven't had a formal education.
Heh, yep, one turns into a bitter anonymous little prat...
Actually, it should be:

Closer to what really happened. Changes the answer a bit, doesn't it?
Well, guess I was half-right - I knew they didn't just change their name to Roxio, but I didn't know they were a spin-off company. Everything I read about it make it seem like it was sold off to someone else.
Adaptec != Roxio. Adaptec sold their EZ-CD Creator cd-burning software to Roxio, but they aren't the same company.
Heh. Settle down, Beavis.

Heh, geez, got any humorless mods here today? Oh yah, I see a couple right here. =P
Fact: Shatner is too old to play Kirk in the Enterprise timeline without some serious higgledy-piggledy with said timeline.
Probability: Yet Another Time Travel Adventure! YATTA!
KHAAAAAN!!
Nice blinders you've got there.
