Then of course theres the TOS plot line: At some point they need to go down to the planet to find out whats going on. Kirk, Spock and Bones go left, security go right, you hear a scream.
Command crew run to security officers. One of the security officers is on the ground. Doctor studies him. "He's dead Jim." DA DA! (comercial break)
Captain looks at the living officer. "How did it happen?"
"(something came out of there and attacked, a strange plant blew up in his face, he was run through by a large runnaway commidor 64.. the more rediculous the better)" Spock looks up from the tricorder he's been studiing.
"Captain I am reading (something) over (somewhere)"
This is where the plot diverges. Either some or all of them are taken captive or something infects one of the command crew, THEN some or all of them are taken captive. Almost always, something will prevent them from returning to the ship Usually because they've been taken captive at some point). Kirk and Spock come up with some rediculously funny way to get out, and aprehend the person/people responsible for whatever happened. The episode ends with Kirk making some comment, Bones making some snide remark about it, Spock either entering into a point counterpoint with bones, or quoting the bible, and Kirk smiling and making another comment, this time either about the "innate goodness of humanity" or making polite fun of Spocks comment.
Heh heh.. They could clame that his age is due to the realism of how he was built. His ability to grow his hair, to cry, etc. He could clam that he modified his appearance because, "I have found that my aquaintences find it slightly disconcerting that I have shown little visible sign of aging over the past 50 years."
Yeah, every time I see the guy, I could swear that he's a romulan..probably also some bigshot in the vulcan government consitering noone knows what romulans look like yet. The problem with having a movie with the Temporal Cold war, nomatter how cool that would be..is that the guy (if you choose to believe him) clames to have come from 900 years in the (Enterprise timeline) future. That would mean 800 years for TOS and I think 725 for Next Gen... Keep it up though, and we should catch up with the temporal cold war in (real timeline) about Twenty Years during the production of Startrek: We Ran Out of Damn Names
Heh. Remember the collectors addition of the TOS series? Remember how the motion Picture was supposed to have like, 10 minutes of extra footage or something? I watched the movie and could have sworn that the added footage was all put into: More clouds inside VGER!!! Just what we always wanted....
I do not believe that it is right for people to use Apple's slip up to take a full OS that they didn't play for. Technically, all they payed for was a upgrade. By the same token, I think it is wrong for them to try to silence people for giving out information. If I was to write up a report on the security issues Windows has, would it be ok for Microsoft to tell me to shut the heck up because the information I'm providing could be used by malicious users? No, and they probably wouldn't tell me to either, unless they were at risk of loosing money (like Apple is). What we're seeing here is a big coorperation afraid of loosing lots of money, and trying to get out of it by supressing the information. I'm sure if companies spent less time supressing, and more time utilizing they could have thought of some way to use these problems to their advantage. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but thats why I dont work for them:P Maby you guys can come up with something.
Forgive me, did I hear you correctly? Did you say taht anyone who believes that it is morally wrong must
1) Be a christian
2) be stupid
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I know many people on both sides that just dont fit that description.
Once you've bought the CD, its yours -- short of using it as a disc to chop someones head off with, you can do whatever you want to/with the CD, as well as the information obtained off if it(at least on your computer). If you want to modify part of the CD or the program it creates, that's your right
Um.. not last time I checked. Sure I fully believe in open source code and freedom of information. However, when you use that updator, you specifically agree to their terms before you can procede. Those terms wave your rights to do whatever the heck you want to with their (yes, their) software. Until sutch a time comes when they change the license agreement, it will continue to be, morals aside, technically ILLEGAL for someone to use the upgrade as a full OS.
On one last note, I hope there are more people in he world who would return that diamond that someone accidently sold them. Free information is a noble goal, but by using the software, you've agreed to play by their rules. Don't cheet.
Neo Geo is definately a different class of machine, and is therefore out of the console race. The problem is that, even if this is true about the Xbox as well, Microsoft is trying to advertize as if it IS part of this console war. In effect, wether they sould have or not, they've entered an inexpirianced driver into a race, and given him the wrong vehicle to win it with.
Here's a question: Instead of trying to STOP progress...Why don't Disney and them just make their own recorder? They could even integrate this into ABC somehow: If you have this specific recorder at this time, you will receave this special bonus footage of whatever instead of a commercial break. Something like that. It seems reasonable to me, and is certainly an improvement over bannig anyhing that could hin the lining of their pockets.
Anyway, just a thought.

Ok, maby its just a language thing. I'm not french, so I don't know. But come on, "Clad Strife"? What's with that?
