Of course, the song's not their IP either. The song the little smiley face is whistling is "Put On A Happy Face" written by Charlie Strouse, from the musical Bye Bye Birdie.
Yes, so your kids can look at you funny and wonder what dad is acting so crazy about. I prefer the originals too, but I haven't met anyone under 30 that gives a rip which version they watch: Originals or SEs. The changes just aren't a big deal to them. I've stopped trying to convince anyone else. I don't think the originals are "better" than the SEs. They're just the versions I prefer. When the discs come out, I'll take the SEs off the self and put them in the closet. In fact, I think I'll stick the prequels in there with them, since I don't watch those, either.
If this is the original, Han doesn't shoot "first" since, in the original, Greedo NEVER shot!
That's because Greedo was so coked up at the time. If you look at the original print, Greedo had a white powdery ring around his nose. That's one thing that was digitally changed in the SEs.
I don't see why they are bundling the original trilogy with the 2004 SE versions. They are out there already. Anyone (that wants them) already has them. Hell, most people that want these original versions want them because they *don't* like the 2004 SE's!
Of course, far out theories can be fun. I think my favorite crackpot theory book was Richard Noone's "5/5/2000: Ice The Ultimate Disaster". It was pretty crazy. Some of the worst put together, misunderstood, crackpot, pseudo-science ever committed to paper. It was great fun until it got to the "dinosaurs were used as beasts of burden to built the pyramids" part. Then the shit got too deep for even me, and I throw it against the wall. But, at night I occasionally think about it and laugh. If you go to the Amazon page for it you'll find all kinds of people justifying the missed date for the end of the world.
He's a crackpot. Archeology magazine is pretty much ripping him a new one. link
For an example of his unique theories, here's an excerpt from his book, "The World of the Maya":
Ordinary watchmakers repair our watches and put them into accordance with Earthly time. It is my theory that the Maya should be considered watchmakers of the cosmos whose mission it is to adjust the Earthly frequency and bring it into accordance with the vibrations of our Sun. Once the Earth begins to vibrate in harmony with the Sun, information will be able to travel in both directions without limitation. And then we will be able to understand why all ancient peoples worshipped the Sun and dedicated their rituals to this. The Sun is the source of all life on this planet and the source of all information and knowledge....And with a frequency in harmony, the Earth will, via the Sun, be connected with the center of our Galaxy. These facts become exceptionally important when we realize that we are rapidly approaching December 2012, a date which the Maya have marked as the time of arrival of the Galactic Energy Cluster which will enlighten us.
So, Cream... Cream was playing their old stuff, eh? Not doing anything off their newer albums?... all old stuff.... sticking to the hits, were they?.... focusing on the "classic" material.... they were digging deep into their catalog...
One of the big problems here is that is seems "normal" for music artists to make millions of dollars in their field. They expect it. Why? Do they work harder than the engineer, or the IT proffesional? Why do they deserve this ungodly high income? This wasn't the situation in the 40's, 50's, 60's. Except for very rare exceptions like Elvis or the Beatles, music artics made a relatively modest income. Record sales really started to take off in the 70's and 80's and, therefore, the income of those in the music industry inflated to astronomical proportions. But, why do they expect this cash cow to last? There's no reason for record sales for one artist to reach 10 million copies, while another perfectly good artist sells a scant handfull. Quite frankly, I have never heard a huge superstar musician that was any more talented or had any better music than your average street musician. But Target doesn't stock music from Emiliana Torrini. They do stock Madonna. SO Madonna sells better. But today, it's easier for the average customer to get music from a larger variety of smaller artists now. So, maybe there won't be any big "superstars" in a few years. Fine. This isn't a bad thing. It's just a return to the norm. Same amount of money, just spread out to a larger number of artists.

there's a good reason the brain is located in the head
The protection the skull gives the brain would be a major benefit, as well. If the brain was located centrally in the body, if you got punched in the gut you could suffer major brain damage!
No, it's not. Saul Zaentz owns the rights to producing any media based on LotR (movie, plays, video games, etc). He bought the rights in 1977. Here's an article.
A more sophisticated solution for her class would be to allow laptops ONLY for the purpose of recording lectures via microphone and sound card....What is more "drudgesome" than copying down lectures verbatim?
What's the deal here? Maybe that's not what works for the students. I know what works for me; What get's information into my brain and makes it stay there, and listening to a lecture isn't it. It's taking notes. And I type a lot faster than I can write. I use to rush home and re-type my notes when I only had a desktop. When I got a laptop, I brought it to class. Why do we have this technology if we can't use it? This prof has her head up her ass. It's up to the students to find out (through trial and error) what works for them, and if typing down the lectures work for them, so be it. So, it's extra work. Studying IS extra work.

Since when do /.ers talk to people of the opposite sex?
Yes!!!! Using a lot of exclamations points works great!! It really gets the point across! ;-)
Yes, he was Primate of the Phillippines! Catholics ... They're funny.

Except Mr Loufrani actually has some rightful claim to the image, be it true or not. Wal-Mart has none.

These will be anamorphic. It makes a big difference if you have a widescreen TV.
And featuring Don Knots as the wacky Jedi Temple landlord, Mar So So McFurley.
Yes. "Episode IV: A New Hope" was added to the opening crawl for the '81 re-release. It wasn't present in the 1977 original.

If, by "ghost writers", you mean Jonathan Hales (who wasn't a ghost writer, since he was given credit) then, yes.

Ooooh, Kirk gets alien chlamydia. That would be a great plot point!

So, you're expecting nerds on IRC to have social skills? Good luck with that!
So, this is what they've been saving all their good writing for the last few seasons!

I guess I'd rather take good notes than make eye contact with my prof. I'm trying to get good grades here, not get a date.
