Well he got an artificial heart IIRC, or some other fix.
Then he became an alcholic and wound up having his badyguard do the iron man thing for a while. Then picked up one of those psycho-girlfriends who shot him after he dumped her, missing most of his major arteries and vital organs, but damaging his spine leaving him paralysed for a while. He got that fixed with some nano-tech, but the inventors used that to overide his body by remote. Last I heard he'd gotten that fixed and was mobile, but running the suit by remote so he could back it full of tech rather than as just a suit. Plus it reduced any danger to him personally.

Actually ESB and ROTJ are the condensed versions. Luke spent many months on Dagobah (in essentially non-stop training with Master Yoda), and even more time tracking down what happened to Han.
If you read the books there are a few years (I've heard 5 quoted often) between episodes V and VII. I haven't read to many of them but this seems a pretty clear element to all the ones that mention it.
Also it's pretty clear Yoda stuck to the core elements and didn't cover much else such as Jedi history, obscure powers of the Jedi, Proper ettiquite when giving reports to the Jedi Council durring a holliday. In other words Luke got the Tech School version from a True Master determined to teach him hard and fast.
My impression from the books I've read is that Luke later realized Yoda pared down his teaching to strictly that Luke needed and could use and skipped a lot of the less critical skills and ones Luke didn't have much talent for. In one scene I remember Luke is shown to have an active pursuit of anything related to the Jedi in order to help with what he now percieves as the holes in his education.

While Yoda didn't like starting so late (Anakin was 9 not four, according to Lucas Ep1 was a story about a 9 year old boy.), his main objection was 'fear' in the boy. Anakin was just to subject fears and worries.
**minor spoiler**
Notice how fear of loosing Padme is THE reason he falls victum to Palpatine manipulations. Anakin is trully fuds biggest victum. It's even possible Yoda and the other masters got some hint of this through thier views of the future.
The Falcon has a spare hyperdrive as do most ships in SW (at least the limited material I've read says this). NOT having one would be unusual.
However it's like the spare tires in cars and isn't intended for extended use or very good speeds. I've read most spare hyperdrives are only good for one or two jumps and take four or five times as long to go anyplace.
I largely agree with you. I've always liked Batman for just this reason. No powers other than 'born wealthy and smart and healthy' which could happen to anyone. And he's paid his dues so to speak in first watching his parents death by a villian and later by YEARS of hard work and rigorous training.
Another favorite of mine has been 'iron man' while here the technology goes well into comic book physics (where people can shrink to atomic size and still breath along with other nonsense), it's still basically a man using his brains put himself into the do-gooder bussiness in big way.
Another thing I like about Stark is the fact that in some respects he's a pretty real guy (tech aside). He may be a super hero, but he's also a recovering alcholic, doesn't have the healthiest of relationships with women, and can be a bit of a jerk to be honest.
The bone coating isn't 100% surface area, more like 'bands' around the surface. So blood flow and such is specifically not meaningfully hindered.
Also last I checked (over a year ago IIRC) he'd lost the adamantium some how (and had BONE claws, not that I see how on that one)
How would he be deaf though?
1 makes macs a bit more attractive to write/port games for
2)true, he even says so. Problem is convincing the game companies enough will be sold to be worth while and the 'it should be $free and FREE' crowd not to yell and create negative press for them.
3) and what about all the things that break when the new lib displaces the old that half the distro requires. Not to mention all the wories about exactly when using/relying on glp libs and such cause a program to fall under the gpl or even lgpl. If they're shipping it with (let alone satically linking it) some open source lib thier percieved potential liability skyrockets I would imagine.
1)probably right on desktop, but total is much more iffy, esp if you allow one to group bsd with linux, considering servers. However as we're talking games here it's the desktop that matters.
2) Yes, the number that would complain about it not being open source, or at least having fully exposed api, ect. for mods and adding thier own stuff in would be to large relative to the market, this would be bad publicity wise and make sales past initial realease to much of a gamble. And this is all for the cluefull game coders, many would likely expect near zero willingess to pay anything near normal(overinflated imho) prices.
3) yep, untill compatability becomes more common across distros and revisions you can't just write a linux 'program' you have to write a red-hat ver x.y.z and madrake ver y.x.z and so on for at least the top 5 distro's and the most common 3 or 4 versions of each. Next you have to re-code it for bsd, sheesh.
4) I would say polish(sp? I mean 'shined up', not from Poland) and maturity, not technical prowess as some the people in the open source community are pretty damn skilled.
5) In my experience the ratio has droped to somewhere around 3:2 of people who know apple computers but haven't at least heard of linux. That said if they don't have/use a mac or linux distro they seldom know much more than mac=pretty with only mouse button and linux=geek computer.
That's what I meant by 'convient for man's use' We've got so much water available that 'running out' is a rediculous concept. However rendering that water useable is the hard part as most of it's salt water.

At one point where I live now was beachfront property, yet today the Gulf of Mexico is several hundred miles south of me (just south of St. Louis Missouri, USA).
I originally heard the details on a science friday program on NPR around a year ago. Unfortunatly most of the names of things the expert (doctorate in one of the bio-sciences) they had on gave were polysylabic (twenty or so letters each, nice mix of dead languages and letters and number, etc.) and I don't recall them.
It's possible I may have missed a few details but I do recall him stateing flat out that human body could not survive purely on the products of the vegetabtle kindom and our own biochemical know-how. I had heard this before, but usually from sources as vague as admitedly I've been and few of them with a clear bias.
And of course humans are clearly omnivores. However my understanding is that vegetarians do eat some animal products (such as milk and cheese, sometimes fish, the definition as a bit flexable) and probably get what they need that way. It's the Vegans that are fooling themselve if they think thier diet is 100% animated critter free (impossible, you swallow some bugs in your sleep for starters).
As far as which protien/amino acid (not shure) that it's just possible you can get the trace amounts of from bugs I don't recall, I just recall the Expert on Science friday being really pushed by a caller if thier wasn't some way for people to get the items he was talking about without going to 'factory' animal sources (the caller didn't like the whole mass production of animals for food thing) and the guy admited that one of the items needed not present in flora was needed in such tiny quantities it's just possible that some might get enough through the small amount of bugs and possibly animal contaminations of mass produced foods to be all right. The protien or whatever wasn't used up by the body, but used more as a catalyst for some function or rather IIRC.
Technically it's impossible to eat strictly flora and survive.
This is because there are a few protiens that we cannot get from plant or manufacture artificially yet must have in our diet to live a healthy life.
At least one of these protiens is sometimes ingested in sufficient quatities by the trace amount of insect matter every human (not in a bubble that is) ingests.
Some are taken from animal sources and used to 'fortify' various non-animal products and/or create vitam supplements.
Also humans are not evolved/designed to live without some meat in thier diets. Just look at your teeth for starters.
Most of the meat eating related problems (heck most food related problems of modern society) comes from the fact that our food preferences are evolved to handle completely different food distributions than modern society provide for. Meat and sugars for example used to be harder to aquire in the diet than grains, thus to insure we got enough our inborn prefferences had to be set higher to get us to work hard enough to fulfill the needed amounts.
None of this is to imply those that simply have developed a preference for an almost meat free diet are 'wrong' or shouldn't do so. Also I can understand boycotting certain industries that provide some products if you find some aspect of thier operation repugnant ethically or moraly.
But the concept that eating meat is inherently unhealthy or immoral false to fact in the first and senseless in the second (perhap amoral, but certainly not immoral).
Also we've got plenty of water and unused land. Though the land and water that's convient for mankind's use is rapidly being rendered unusable in many areas.

Just currious, but what do you mean by HAVE to be sold with a agc speced for macrovision.
Did they get a law passed, or is there some sort of industry pressure or perhaps something else added to macro-vision to casue issues on 'non-complient' vcrs.
It's my understanding macrovision worked in the first place because tv's agc's smoothed out brigtness variences at a different rate than vcrs.
In any event I would like to take this chance to point out that ATI's all-in-wonder line of video cards look for macrovision, and if they find it scramble the video so it can't be watched.
