Yes, but when he introduces Luke to the lightsaber, Kenobi says it's not as "random as a blaster". Maybe they have different settings, like the phasers on Star Trek:
"Hey, we have them outnumbered 10 to 1. Let's make this interesting, set blasters on Random!"
Funny, I'd forgotten they even existed until I saw your post. Ditched my land line years, I so do not miss getting those frickin calls. Getting on the Do Not Call list helped, but we still got some.
Seriously, I'm not a huge Obama fan, but I don't see how depicting him as a fictional psychopathic (or is Joker a sociopath?) killer is funny. Not saying Flickr is right or wrong, I just don't see any humor in the image.
If I grow my own grapes, and I bring some to the supermarket, plop them on their scale and ask them how much I owe them, is it really their fault that they assume we're talking about their grapes?
Look, my contempt for the AP runs pretty deep, but what Grimmelman did is just asinine. Yes, AP is grasping at very flimsy straws to keep its business model alive, but they're not becoming the new SCO, claiming everything on the internet is their property. At least not yet.
I'm with you there, I used to like to speed. Now I like to cruise in the slow lane, and I have the opposite peeve: Asshats who refuse to use the two empty lanes on my left to pass, and ride my frickin bumper. I'll give em a minute, then the foot comes off the gas. Had one guy wait until we got down to 35 before he passed me. So sorry, is changing lanes really that hard?
"You need to recognize that BOTH sides do EVERYTHING they do for money."
Sorry, but not true. Most academics would be happy to do their jobs for a decent wage, but reality is that you can't do research without funding, and most universities can't afford to fund it themselves.
If money were their primary motivator, no smart people would go in to academics or research, because very few people in those fields become rich. For most academics, money is the means, not the ends. Otherwise they'd be in finance, making big bucks.
While a 200-mile range is low, what's the big deal? After driving 200 miles, I'm ready for a break. And for normal, in town driving, the car would recharge every night, so you could go months without visiting a "filling station." Can't do that in a gas or diesel car. Sounds like a pretty good trade off to me.
From the summary: "but it only took the company one more shot to get it right". I'm sorry, but has Microsoft ever "got it right"? I'm no MS hater, but for heavens sake, this is the company that invented Patch Tuesday!
I've been using 7RC and while I like it, it has some serious bugs to work out. I wouldn't bet the farm that they've all been caught...or that they ever will be.
Cool, hope it works as advertised. I just spent 4 hours updating my VPN client (old version refused to uninstall), I'd love to never have to go through that again.
...suppose another film copy, not party to the original contract, decided to make LOTR. If it were no longer protected by copyright, there's not a damn thing Tolkien's estate could do about it. They would have to argue that by entering in a contract with New Line they effectively extended their copyright forever. Lucky for them, Sonny bono took care of that.
....because microsoft quit developing IE for Mac years ago. Still waiting for the propaganda coup.
MS got in trouble because the leveraged their near monopoly on the OS to crush Netscape. Google doesn't have a monopoly on the OS...they don't even have an OS yet.
You're right, the guy's a jerk. Now imagine if you were on a bike on that same road, and here comes Clueless straight at you on the wrong side of the road with no shoulder. Trust me, as much as you hate this guy, other bikers hate him more.
You're actually reinforcing Absolut's point. Why should we need war to develop all that cool stuff? Why can't we fund their development on their own merits, rather than as an avenue for killing more people?
Because we're dumber than ants.
And the jet engine was actually patented first in England, almost ten years before WW2 began. The Germans were the first to put it into a production aircraft.

Fair enough, that covers the last 6 months. How were the unions stopping GM from building a diesel hybrid before the bail out?
If the drunken idiot's employer gave him my address and sent him to my house, I'd sue them.
If the unions have contracts that stipulate what cars the manufacturers can produce, that's news to me. Link please.
Well, everyone who didn't die waiting for this to be straightened out, that is.
Just sayin', I mean they did use Halflife for the demo.

"About The AP The Associated Press is the essential global news network, delivering fast, unbiased news from every corner of the world ....
Written by AP no doubt. Someone should show this to their editors, AP has been carrying Republican water for years.
Apparently you've never had to use a webapp that only works in IE6. And yes, there are still far too many of them out there.

My brother played that song for me a few Xmas's ago and I nearly pee'd myself. Follow it up with Shatner's Mr. Tambourine Man and I'm toast.

Of course, IANAL.

Toyota makes more money off the Greenwashing effect of selling the Prius.
Doubtful. Considering the Prius is now the best selling car in Japan, I think they're making plenty of profit on it.

"I pray I never see you in Big Thompson Canyon."
that sounds like the title to a really bad movie!

I remember the movie, and that the ending was way creepy, but what was the last line?
Uh, no, heavy vehicles do more damage, despite their bigger tires: http://www.newsobserver.com/content/news/growth/traffic/trucks/index.html
