"the bill would "permit people to use technology to skip objectionable content -- like a gory or sexually explicit scene -- in films, a right that consumers already have. However, under the proposed law, skipping any commercials or promotional announcements would be prohibited."
So... what if I object the stupid ass commercial? We get enough advertising shoved down our throats the way it is.
"Stories of fire-breathing dragons are also common among almost all of the world's cultures. That doesn't make it any less likely that they are all handed down from one great experience."
Hey, maybe dragon mythos does have basis in fact. If you ask this guy. He claims they were dinosaurs that forgot they were suppose to be extinct.
I may be going out on a limb here, but AOL was a pretty shitily run crap hole of a "company". If they were planning on driving a product into the ground, that's when it would be majorly successful. They are a perfect example of a company run completely by the marketing division. Nice and shiny outside, filled with a core of gooey stinky crap nougat.
"tinfoil hats"? What are you, living in the stone age? We here at/. use smart and subtle baseball caps woven with a fine silver/copper core thread for excellent RF sheilding.
Why would Luke recognize ANYONE as his father. He was never around. Face it, Anakin was a dead beat dad. Even when they did meet, he beat up his son and shot his daughter up with drugs. Sounds like a Springer family to me.
Actually, it is a testament to "the loudest sound bite wins". Kerry failed to come up with a "breakfast of champions" slogan. True or not, people love easily repeated, re-heated, deep fat fried, rhetoric.
The last time Mt St Helens erupted, it led to some really good wine the following years (due to the ash being added to the soil). So... I'm looking forward to it.
I mean, I bought LotR: FotR EE and LotR: TTT EE and loved them, after a decade of reading the books once a year. But, maybe I'll pass on this one. I mean, two out of three is pretty good, right?

Personally, I would have more respect for him if he didn't make that change. At least then is would show that he cares about the product, not the sales. Even if his prefered vision is different from everyone else on the planet, you've gotta stick to your ray guns).
It'll always exist. Just on a smaller scale

Not every property needs to be in the mainstream. There will ALWAYS be a ST audience. It's just the size of the crowd that the money hungary Hollywood execs are overestimating. Lower volume B movies/music/books/games make tons of money. They just have lower production values (which any TRUE sci-fi nerd cares nothing about. It's the story/science/babes they're interested in. Not the over done 'bullet time' effects).

Atlanta was more than just a delta hub. And the caffeine can really speed up the evolutionary process. Wooo doggies!

Cool. So we can balance everything out by building the right ratio of fossil fuel plants and wind turbine farms. Far out, man.

Trekkies 2? So, you gave up and just made a sequel, heh.

If I didn't mail in BB rebates, I would have no need for stamps. Well, the rebates and shipping out all the BB merchandise I sell on ebay.
Remember to chew your Blu-Ray disc thoroughly or you know what happens.
I hear you. The squeezed dick gets oiled. Got it. I'll keep that in mind.

Thanks to the huge liberties given to the "authorities" by the Patriot Act, there won't be any complainers around for long.
That's easy for you to say. I had a bad case of "Sour Grapes" once. But, a penicillan shot cleared it up pretty good.

Good argument, but there were a hell of alot of different edits of Lawrence. Mostly for time issues, but Lean was involved with some of them.
