No, I think it should be 1,2,4,5,3,6 This way, you don't know about Luke and Lea until the second to last movie (as someone noted, it is anti-climatic in ROTJ). If you're a true SW virgin, then going from Anakin in 2 to Luke is 4 may be narratively better: you truly don't know if Luke is Anakin's son (you do know they are related) and you don't know that Anakin will become Darth Vader until 5 and then you're like, "How did Anakin become bad?" So you pop in #3. Bottom line, in this way, Anakin's transformation into Darth (which I think the whole series is based on...and it's a double transformation from good to bad to good again) would be highlighted.
I think it's of great concern which party it is: since Diebold and the other big supplier of voting machines (whose name eludes me for the moment, but is owned in part by Republican Senator Hagel) are run by major donors of the Republican party. It's a very relevant concern.
(btw: I think you're talking about 1962 Democrats...but then again, the topic is voting technology and not alleged vote dumping in Lake Michigan)
Wait a minute...which speech was this? The State of the Union?! Are you sure it was an "opinion?" I would appreciate the ongoing commentary while listening to that speech (or any such speech) on the radio to know who's clapping and who isn't: it's like listening to a baseball game (and there's probably more nuance to the SOTU) because I want to know where someone hit a fly ball or who he grounded out to! If only the Republican side of the aisle clapped, I would want to know! You don't think that's important?! You get that tidbit from watching the SOTU, but not on the radio, and I'm glad NPR would add such commentary to the SOTU .
I bought a Sandisk 1gb flashplayer a year and a half ago: I bought it because it had more options than the Shuffe. It had a fm radio, and a microphone! However, the interface wasn't all that great and its shuffle option wasn't even close to being random (there were two or three "random" sequences it would shift through). In addition to freezing once in a while, what I really didn't like was how I put songs on it: I didn't like the treating it like a flash drive. I have 20+ gbs of music and its a pain to find and/or decide what you want on it. With my nano, iTune makes it so much eaiser! It's just so easy to use: that's why people buy them, and of course,they go on their friends' recommondation. Why does following a friend's recommondation surprise you? I still use my sandisk as a flash drive and since the mic is surprisingly decent, I use it for interviews.
I didn't have a C64, but my buddy did, and the game we spent playing over and over again was the old Sid Meier classic Pirates! What Sid did with the C64 was just amazing!
In 1984, my dad brought...well, lugged...home an Apple Lisa from work, and it stayed in my room (which was also the temporary office...) for a while. I guess it kinda hindered me in certain ways because it was very easy to use. Command line? What was that?! Actually, I had been using Apple IIe's at school and I wasn't unfamiliar with "RUN blah blah blah." But in my mind, the Lisa made a much bigger impression...I can barely remember using other computers and the mouse was so cool! Which is why I enjoyed the LisaDraw program the most (and why I'm so l33t in FPS's..I've been precision mousing for 22 years!)! Using a mouse to paint was a blast and it was something I couldn't do at school or elsewhere!
That if I proclaim, "Give me liberty or give me death!" that I might be labeled as a threat to society or a terrorist...and I firmly believe that I would prefer death to a lack of liberty.
What happens if mankind creates an intelligence (a sentient computer). What happens if mankind dies away. Will they argue about whether there was a God called Man?
If I had some mod points, I'd give you one...that's a great insight! If someone talks to me about ID, I'll pretend I agree with them but use the plural when talking about the designers!
Coincidentally, I've been reading a book by Marc Prensky called "Digital Game Base Learning." It's a fascinating read...although like any Slashdotter, I haven't RTFA, but it's definitely going in my bookmarks to be read later! Getting back to Marc, I recommend it to anyone interested in getting into educational game design as it provides a more commercial/industrial training insight/POV to it.
Read Richard Clarke's book, Against All Enemies, who served under Reagan and Bush I and II, and you know what you wrote was bs...Clinton was not offered Osama by any legitimate channels: I believe it was a business man trying to make some money and wether he could get Osama or not was in question. The overture that Clinton denied the Right brays about is a total red herring. 2) The military didn't like Clinton and when Clinton would ask for a grab and bag operation, the military would stonewall him by saying such an operation would need hundreds of soldiers and there would be nothing close to good odds at it suceeding (although, Clarke interviewed a soldier who trained for the scenaraio that Clinton asked for. The soldier blamed Clinton for not ordering it and it bothered Clarke because he heard the military brass dissuade Clinton from carrying it out.) Lastly, the military intelligence didn't get to the FBI NOT because of Clinton policies, but because of military brass declaring such information sharing was illegal when it was NOT illegal given proper channels. Please, stop regurgitating your Fox News Republican talking points here and join the reality based community.
Of course it also was written a long time ago when if you wanted to say something you had to either own a press or stand up in front of your audience. The tech to speak from another continent without ever having to show yourselve was unheard perhaps even undreamed of.
Not true...writing anonymously before and during the Revolution was very important and maybe considered as a "right" that was fought for: in fact, anonymous publications/pamphlets were very important to Independence! When "Common Sense" was written, Thomas Paine didn't put his name on it initially! Think about it...
I give three hour segway tours of Forest Park here in St. Louis, and the secret is to shift around...I usually have only one foot planted on the platform at one time while I rest the other: usually by planting my toes on the top side of the platform or over the backside (it's hard to describe...). I bet it's not "safe" but my muscles move and shifting enough that I'm comfortable!
From the pictures on the website, it looks like they used I-series Segways: the p series is smaller and is mainly used indoors. Now depending on the battery and the air pressure in the tire, it can go between 15-25 miles. If the tire pressure is the recommended 15psi, then the NiMh batteries will go about 15-16 miles (higher tire pressure will allow the segway to go further) and the newer Lithium batteries will go about 22-23 miles (once again depending on tire pressure). When I got my Segway training, I was surprised to find out how important tire pressure was to its performance (I work at a science center and teach people how to ride them). If they did this last summer, they should have gotten the Lithium batteries: I would feel sorry for them if they got the NiMh batteries as they don't work as well under hot conditions, and additionally, you should let the battery cool off before you charge it (and drain it once in a while too). The lithium batteries are much more forgiving.
that make me regret not buying a 360 when I had the chance: I was at a Costco and they had the premium setup (and an additional wireless controllers plus PGR3) for $480 and they had plenty of them with no line: two weeks before Christmas. I should have bought it and sold it on e-bay! Dang!
Well, probably for other reasons than this article suggests. Guinness doesn't have much hops in it, but has plenty of that dark roasted malt. It's high in iron,low in calories, and lower in alcohol (3.2-3.4%): it's actually better for our women folk than the dudes!
For those who don't know, India Pale Ale (IPA) is an extraordinarily hoppy beer drunk by beer geeks or Hop Heads.
Another cool thing about hops, and why hops have been used to flavor beer for the last several centuries, is that it's also a preservative. During the British Empire, British subjects wanted their ale, but the long voyage via ship made their ale rather skunky. So, in order to get their beer to say, India, they had to heavily hop the beer to preserve them. And that's how we got IPA--I also guess the folks who drank their IPA were less likely to get cancer.
Here's a link to a bridge in St. Charles, MO that wasn't done when the picture was taken, but with Google Maps, you can see the mapped road jumps a partially constructed bridge over the Misssouri River (like Dukes of Hazzard!

Your comment is funny, but also could be modded insightful: it's very very true that we bring our bias' to the table when we play a game (I do like the other fellow saying that it's more of a perspective...and in computer game play, that has metaphysical and physical connotations!) Good post! Imagine being a Vietnam Vet playing a game about Vietnam! That person's reaction/perspective would be valuable!

D'oh, then that eliminates Guinness as it's low in hops but high in iron....damn it. I guess IPA and Curry are the best now...
