Pretty much. The ironic thing is, duplicating a story only gets the editors "in trouble" in the minds of the same trolls who are trying to get the duplicate in the first place. No one else gives a shit.
I agree. If we can't get back to oppressing the rights of anyone or anything even remotely associated with the Internet, then the terrorists have already won.
Lol. You know, I wonder if the audio track from Star Wars can be put to the film for Debbie Does Dallas or Asses of Fire 6 and still make sense. Sort of like that whole Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz thing.
See people, Lucas is really some creative Pr0n genius!

OK, I know, it's not the end result so much as it is the process. Still seems rather odd.

You know, I couldn't have said it better myself, and I'm not just posting that to temporarily put another +2 in this thread. -3 Karma is definitely worth it. Kudos.

OK, I know this is technically offtopic, but something very fishy is going on here.
I've been watching this thread most of the afternoon, enjoying the moderation fight and discussion. I know for a fact that as recently as 4:45-5:00, this was still hovering around the 4-5 range, and MANY of the replies were in the 2-4 range as well.
And now, all of the sudden, everything in here is 0 or lower? With a suspicious amount of OffTopics as well? Hell, some of the ones that have been modded down don't even list why they were.
I'm probably risking a little mod-down myself posting at +2 here, but this seems wrong. Editors/moderators: I realize this whole thing is off-topic, but what's the harm with a little discussion? It's not like we haven't seem a million off-topic threads in other stories, I don't see why this one has to be smacked down so harshly.
Common opinion seems to be the new Palm is going to be the i705, which was rumor-mongered here when the FCC let the cat out of the bag a few months early.
Oh, and Palminfocenter is probably the best place to go for Palm-related news and rumors.
I'm sure this will be a very unpopular view, but personally I think N'Sync got the shaft on this one, and it's apparently all because of insecure, immature Star Wars fanboys.
So George Lucas has a 14 year old daughter, and he thought he'd shut her up by giving N'Sync 3 seconds of screen time. Big fucking deal. It's not like this affects the integrity of the film in any way, shape, or form. It was a fucking cameo for God's sake, and a very short one at that. Rich and famous people get cameo's in movies and TV all the time. 99% of you wouldn't have even noticed it until the DVD came out, and you found the exact time refrence on the Internet.
I don't listen to N'Sync or anything like it, but I've never understood why anyone would hate them. Christ, they're a band. It's not like pop music should be taken as a personal affront by anyone. No one is making you listen to it. N'Sync isn't running around the country raping your girlfriends and daughters. What, are you so insecure you can't stand it that some boy band is more popular with teenage girls than you are?
You don't think N'Sync aren't big-time Star Wars fans? You don't think they weren't psyched to get this? Any of you people would be thrilled by an opportunity like this. Basically what this comes down to is petty jealosy, pure and simple. N'Sync is already rich and famous, why should they be so lucky. How dare they bespoil my movie, those bastards. Grow up, all you lamer fanboys who bitched and moaned about this. Don't you have better things to worry about besides who get's blown up by blaster fire in a movie?
Kansas does this with their non-SS# numbers already (well, it has a K in front of the number anyway). I got one of those cause I forgot to bring my SS card with me last time I renewed.
I realize there comes a point where you can't just call something like this a calculator, but Personal Learning Tool? Who thinks these names up? Is like a bad Japanese translation of the real name or something?
The project, called CivicNet, is aimed at bringing a broadband network with integrated data, voice and video capabilities to every nook and cranny of Chicago over the next 10 years.
By which time, of course, the system will be hopelessly outdated, to the point where the last 40% of the people to receive it, who are not-so-coincidentally probably the ones who need it most, might as well not even have it.
OK, so maybe that's a tad bit cynical, but you get the point.
A lot of people seem to be assuming that Jobs is having a fit about this right now, and indeed he may be. But let's look at things from a business perspective, shall we?
- When a small, independent Apple site leaks pics of an iCube, new iMac, possible iWalk, whatever, Steve can get pissed, threaten litigation, and call them all kinds of names.
- When a major magazine publisher, backed by one of the worlds largest media conglomerates, leaks pics of the new iMac, Steve bites his tounge, smiles, and congratulates Time Canada on their "scoop".
Or do you think he's willing to throw away millions of potential consumer eyes he could advertise to?
I seem to remember JFK being pretty damn long; the theater I saw it in when it was released even had an intermission. Couldn't tell you if it was really over 3 hours, but it felt like it.

So what your really trying to say, is that Nintendo has finally decided how to kick off the ad campaign for it's next version of Pokemon?

Nice idea, but keep in mind that in this case we're talking about a Geocities page. A stiff breeze brings down Geocities sites.

Oops, that should be, "Was Yahoo really that quick...".
I'm not seeing it either. If Yahoo really was that quick removing the offending link.
For that matter, how do we know this wasn't just some webmaster's screwup, cutting-and-pasting in the wrong link?
Tell them to reconsider. You'd be hard pressed to come up with 5 reasons why anyone would want to live in this state.

From the "First Mention of Star Wars Episode 6" entry:
I can't really imagine waiting until 1997 to see all nine parts of the Star Wars series.
I don't know what this "nine parts" jazz is, but that little 1997 blurb is about the funniest thing I've seen all day.
