Minecraft is about creation... we love to create things... in minecraft we're creating a home ultimately a world to our whim... this is very addicting.
I'm a geek, i'm a programmer who loves sci-fi, quantum physics, learning as much about everything as possible (especially anything related to science), I was there when l33t speak was invented by my geek "friends".... and, godamnit, I love Tron.
And once again, I ask, who gives a crap. What I like is not influenced by what the mainstream like other than the fact that usually the mainstream destroys the integrity of what I used to like...
I'm a geek and i always will be until I upload my consciousness to the internet hive brain and merge with the source.
This is what you do... You start your own consulting business and do freelance work in the evenings and weekends as a side job. You get a couple of books in the language you need/want to know, and you start your own little projects to support your business (like a time tracking app, or a billing application, etc...). So now you have a business, language experience, an application, and business experience under your built while still working your day job. Now you goto freelancewebsites looking for small jobs and gradually grow to larger ones.
After a year or two of this, you'll have a lot of diverse experience in a wide range of areas that you can legitimately add to your resume.
I say this because this is exactly what I did... and I went from a software engineer to the director of the IT department in 14 months because of my independent work and foundation I made for myself.
Just don't call your company something stupid like Jackhole Studios...
In a logical world, rather than messing with this Union nonsense, those workers would simply go find another job that is better for them.
I mean these people sued the company, they're should be lucky they have a job at all. I know the first thing I'd do if an employee sued my is fire their ass.
Try this... very simple. (works definately in IE.. having issues in Firefox)

Actually, it's more likely that the processed/non-organic food is just cheaper than the pure stuff. Wasn't that the goal of business, cheaper, faster , and more profit?
Now, I'm certainly NOT a doctor or in anyway related to the medical field... but...
If you completely drain someone's infected HIV blood... flush their system out with this frigid saline solution... and then refill them with clean blood....
I agree on most points here, but let me express my opinion anyway:
Special Effects are very impressive at many levels. They certainly look professional. I especially enjoyed the space battle.
Acting is horrifying. It was very painful to watch the acting... so much so that it almost made me want to turn it off.
Plot could have worked if they didn't do stupid shit... like let the queen bitch go with the datafile when your light saber is 2 inches from her throat... moron. With that one bit of stupidity, she murdered countless jedi in hiding. Let's not even talk about how fucking inane these jedi are... they act like they had no training at all... a bunch of dorky inept morons. The horrifying acting just compounding all the problems with the plot.
So I give two thumbs up for the special effects... two thumbs down for the acting and two thumbs down for the plot nonsense...
So that's two thumbs down overall.
This could have been an incredible film overall, ruined by bad writing and bad acting... sounds like most hollywood movies to me...
Wow... I spend $10 a month for my Comcast HD PVR. If you do the math, It will take me about 8 years to reach the amount you spent... and I get to upgrade to newer/higher capacity DVR's for free as they come out. But, hey... if you got the money to crap into the toilet... go for it.
I tickles me to no end how people like to make up their own definition for words. I'm glad you felt the need to redefine sci-fi to meet your own standards of what you think it should be.
For the rest of us, I direct you to a dictionary -> Science Fictionnoun:
A literary or cinematic genre in which fantasy, typically based on speculative scientific discoveries or developments, environmental changes, space travel, or life on other planets, forms part of the plot or background.

Don't mistaken apathy for ignorance... the average American just doesn't give a sh|t about Soviet "firsts"
Two holes with Gas shooting out.... come on people I'm in a deadlock as to which of the million jokes this generates.......
From personal experience, after a 4 hour marathon of Burnout3 on a big screen TV.... you don't want to get in a car for at least a day.
Apparently... drifting... not as easy to do in reality.

In terms of the XBox360, it is. There is no new gameplay with the 360, it's all the same type of games with better graphics.
I agree with the grandparent, if you're going to get a 360... get a better tv first or stick with the original xbox.

Right, the HIV Virus infects "CD4+ helper T-cell" which are located in the blood.
If you completely drain someone's infected HIV blood... flush their system out with this frigid saline solution... and then refill them with clean blood....
would this not be a cure for AIDS?
I bought a Samsung 17" LCD... The color is beautiful and I never get streaking/ghosting. I play GTA3 and I don't notice any visual artifacts.
Or simply have an application service running that a) verifies that the main application is running, and b) sends a keep alive message to the "relay".
This way, if the application crashes or the hardware crashes, they're both handled.
Really? What makes you think that?
Who cares. What's wrong with giving them credit for a valid link in an article on slashdot. It's astounding how people whine over nothing.
They did... it was a huge flop, nobody showed up.
Special Effects are very impressive at many levels. They certainly look professional. I especially enjoyed the space battle.

Hold On... so you trust Microsoft(Hotmail) and not Google?
This nonsense about privacy issues is crap... Microsoft can look at your emails as much as any ISP or Webmail host.
Not if our reality is inherently subjective in the first place.

5E question. What did he mean when he said "I am a meat popsicle". It's been driving me crazy for many many years.
