Just stash some money away into various investments and the compounding interest should be reward enough after two millenia. That's provided the future inhabitants you awake to use 21st century money as opposed to calloric credits or animal pelts.
Some one on some show said that if you bend over doubled and look through your legs at the moon, no matter where it is in the sky it will appear large as well
I was going to dignify this with a reply but I'm taken by this unexplainable urge to browse the video card selection on newegg.com.
Oh, wait, that's what I do everyday. Nevermind.
On a related note, though, I'm also developing this strange urge to mispell the word consume.

Asides from all that -- who the fuck cares if you are unhappy about these films or the direction that Lucas is taking the franchise? Just because you don't get it doesn't mean that you get to trash it.
Actually, the grandparent poster can say anything they damn well feel like about these films. On Slashdot, it's generally accepted that you can post anything you wish as long as you can accept the effects this will have on your karma.
This allows people to *gasp* criticize movies. Just like it allows you to play the shameless apologist for lukewarm (pun intended) cinema. Are you really objecting that a movie review was based on someone's opinion? Were you expecting objective, empirical evidence?
Your personal set of taboos don't play a part in these forums.
If I'm in a bargain hunting mood, I check out any companies I find on pricewatch via the Better Business Bureau. Usually, though, I just end up buying through newegg.com.
The sad reality of this is that the political power of those of us who read books is dwarfed by the political power of people who drink light beer. Guess which group wants themselves a pretty new stadium?
I don't believe the grandparent was implying that he or she played consoles. The frustration was that the parallel releases on consoles and PCs led to the PC's version having the watered-down textures and gameplay of the console's.
For example, with the PC version of The Thing it was obvious that it was designed to be played with a gamepad. Which is great if you happen to be playing with a gamepad. Unfortunately, it was too frustrating playing with the keyboard and mouse so I uninstalled the demo.
The sequel to Deus Ex is another sad example. Design decisions were made to cater the game to the consoles so that, among other things, your wide variety of weapons from missle launchers to pistols were designed to use the same ammunition. Blech.
Well, there is the problem of having a portable display. I suppose you could just take it into a sport's bar and plug it into one of their widescreens using the TV adaptor. Play-offs, shmlay-offs -- I sure the other patrons wouldn't mind.
I believe the scroll bar is temporary until the "menu slide show" functionality is completed. Once that's implemented, the menu will show you one animated icon at a time with marquee-style text prompting you with, "Is this the application you wish to run?" After a two second delay the next menu-item is displayed.
Don't worry though if this sounds tedious. A set of slide show controls nested within the menu will allow you to skip forward, backward, and set the delay time between slides. Who would of thought such a rich user interface could be imbedded into a menu?

Don't worry, I have a feeling we'll be seeing it again.

Sounds like a great plot for a movie, doesn't it?
As the value of "great" approaches "crappy".

That's no moon.
I so had that coming. *sigh*
In my defense, dictionary.com lists that variant of the word. But I'll grant that it's an unconventional spelling (i.e. wrong).

Just reroute it through your Apple groupthink transmission. That sucker can take just about anything you can throw at it.

Go Dirty Hippies!!!
Yes, but they also have a number of rabidly political middle managers who do their best to ensure that the smart people are left rotting on the dock.
Why, yes, I am a former employee.
And, presumably, the free space.
I thought it was so you wouldn't damage their valuable Armani pelts...I mean suits.

And so the world takes another step towards an iPod-based economy.
An old acquaintance of mine is currently doing time for hugging bunnies. His advice? Never let the inmates know that you were a bunny hugger.
Not the happiest guy I know. Even if he makes parole he's going to have his photo stapled to every telephone pole in his neighborhood.
Can I CTRL-click multiple options?
9 out of 10 retarded spider monkeys prefer Mac OS X to the leading consumer operating system.
Would you rather they leave the X-Box in the middle of the desert and stow the GPS coordinates in a protected directory on the web server?
That was the 60's, man. They were pushing it just to have an interracial kiss...they weren't about to have on screen shagging. It was implied.
Implied how? Did the Enterprise fly through a tunnel?
That would constitute a bath, so I'm afraid it's out of the question.
