When I lived in Arizona I spent a lot of time at Bookmans! I was always looking for an excuse to go there. I loved strolling through the store to see what was new.
You can't be serious. A New Hope stayed in theaters that long because there weren't any other options for watching the thing. VCRs weren't really ubiquitous, and people didn't buy videos much back then. If a movie stays in the theaters longer than 3 months these days it is phenomenal.
I have to agree with pokerdad. PM was decent compared to the originals. People set the originals on such a high pedestal that they forgot how bad they were. PM was more of the same. II and III were pathetic attempts to reclaim the overestimated greatness of the originals.
The problem is not fructose. It is overconsumption. People have been fed this notion that one type of food or the other is making them fat, and cutting out that type of food will make them loose weight. It's like there is some "magic combination" of food that we are supposed to eat, and, conveniently, you have to buy the book to learn what it is. In almost all cases it is a simple matter of overconsumption. If you eat too much (insert uber-healthy food here) it will be stored as fat. It's not fructose's fault anymore than it's any other specific food's fault. It's quantity. The amount of exercise and activity people typically get doesn't help matters much either.
Maybe it's just a case that he really understands the severity of the piracy problem. Bank robbery is tough to pull off, and the FBI will be hot on your tail to boot. Piracy involves mass reproduction of media usually somewhere in Asia. The FBI can't really solve that problem. The Bank robbery situation is well in hand, but the piracy thing is going to require billions in foreign aid, some serious diplomacy, and an international body that can actually do something about its resolutions.
What? Oh you were talking about piracy. Nevermind.
I absolutely agree. With the way the human body doesn't maintain anything it isn't using, this is a very reasonable hypothesis, if not one of those moments where everyone needs to stop and say, "Duh!" Aging has just as much, if not more, to do with disuse than it has to do with calendar years. Muscle starts to atrophy very quickly, if it isn't used enough to warrant keeping it around. The brain behaves similarly. Use it or lose it isn't just a cliche, it's practically the law of the body. It is only logical to think that the so-called "junk" DNA is still around because it serves a good purpose for the survival and/or normal function of the organism.
Caffeine may be a problem for the DNA as well. Its chemical structure is very similar to the nucleotide bases in DNA. I would bet that caffeine stands a decent chance of being substituted for one of the original bases in a newly replicated strand of DNA. It would probably just not be able to replicate, but it could also give rise to cancer. I recall a study where caffeine consumption was linked to cancer, but the study was done at BYU, so there would at least be a public perception of bias. Whether the study was solid or not, I don't know if any further research was done.
I think that the poll question is flawed, leading to useless results. There are two separate questions there. It should be a poll question of 1. Do you think that evolution is well supported? and 2. Do you think evolution is widely accepted? As written it makes Americans look absurdly foolish, when they probably never got past question 1. Someone might know there is a lot of evidence for evolution, but they might think the evidence is lacking for some reason. That may or may not be ignorance on the part of the individual.
A car company tries to sue a guy for starting a website to sell computers based on his own name, Nissan. Go figure, a guy selling computers is first to get the nissan.com domain.
I think a HUGE factor is Matheson getting elected was that he was the son of a prominent Utahn. That figures big just about anywhere in the country. Picture a liberal republican in Massachusetts trying to get elected to the senate. Now picture Ted Kennedy's son try to do the same thing.
I hesitate to post this as it will put all those diesel generator companies out of business. Get wind turbines and install them horizontally over the boss's chair. The hot air that he spouts will rise and turn the turbine. Since there is usually a really big group of executives full of hot air, add more turbines. There is built in redundancy in this system. I call it executhermal energy.
You can take it a step further by funneling the rising air into the HVAC duct work. It will probably need to pass through a carbon filter to eliminate halitosis, but that is a simple step.
Heroes of the Lance was bad enough to be on the list? It wasn't great, but it wasn't that bad either. Oh, I just read the article, and he's talking about the NES version. The PC version was decent at least. The NES version looks like crap compared to the PC version (EGA baby!).
"I won't get concerned until the "Respect for Intellectual Property" badge becomes Eagle-required. At which point I'll personally go down to headquarters and find out what the hell's going on, and tell them to get back to their proper (ie, founding) values. Scout's Honor."
The article and the summary are from completely different worlds. The thing is a patch that can be earned in the Los Angeles area. There's a museum centered on biology here that offers a patch for visiting. It's not a merit badge. The last paragraph of the article specifically spells that out. The "insightful" submitter put together an amazing summary that makes it seem like this is a nationwide BSA merit badge while it is not a merit badge at all. You've got to love slashdot.
It makes sense. I've known for years that the BSA is the scouts. Now there's some BS (not Boy Scouts) group stealing their intellectual property abbreviation. I have actually heard a radio ad for the BSA trying to get people to only use purchased software in their business, and I seriously had to think about the BSA abbreviation. I remember thinking why would the Scouts be pushing for legal software use. If we live in a world where the World Wrestling Federation loses to the World Wildlife Fund because people might confuse the two, then we live in a world where the Scouts need to sue a company who is "championing" copyright law and actually saying "BSA" in their promotions.

I thought the part of the Empire rerelease that killed it was dropping the line about the merits of R2 not tasting good.

I wouldn't say that Apple is in the strongest position since the original Mac; I'd say they are in their strongest position ever.
I can't help but laugh at the idea. The moon...gas...Metaphor for buttocks, especially exposed buttocks...gas...
Yes...if I can replace the battery.

I'd use it on my crappy, tweeker neighbors so the police can take them away. Repeat as necessary.

But then I realized the knuckle draggers would be even more dangerous when they realized they lost the call AND the signal.

You know, putting the wheels side by side just might revolutionize transportation.

They'll have a different older Kirk. Wow, that's a train wreck.
Go figure, the publication for consumers is the most consumer friendly. I guess that speaks highly of their product reviews.

The recent Dilbert strips reveal that depression is just another word for not enough coffee. Of course it was Wally who said it.
Don't forget:
3. Did you think that people would download/"pirate" mp3's of Ode to Tipper Gore by Skid Row?
6. Imagine a Beowulf clus- Oh, crap. Nevermind.
