Anakin was prophesized to bring balance to the force, and in Episode I Yoda stated that there are always two sith. At the end of Episode III, there are two sith, Emperor Palpatine and Darth Vader, and two Jedi, Obi-Wan and Yoda. It has been my opinion that there is now balance, with two on either side, so the prophecy was fulfilled.

If you're not getting enough action sequences, you probably aren't wandering the more dangerous random encounter areas.
As I said, this was an out of state lookup. Before the Internet got going, I went to a library to look up such a phone number, and they did have phone books for most major cities, but this is impractical in contrast to a text message. Additionally, at the time I was unaware of Google's issues, so I had no reason not to use the usual method.
Google offers search results via SMS (text message 46645 with your query). It also has Google local, which means you can search for telephone numbers. I don't know of another search service with this functionality, and I attempted an out of state lookup during the outage without knowing about it. I actually did get results much later, but they weren't useful then.
A couple of years ago, I wouldn't have looked up the number at all, but I also wouldn't have been used to being able to look it up at any time.
You can't count on having everything in common with anyone, really. The trick to getting along with people is to make sure what you're talking about interests them. Progressively, you'll be able to determine what they'll find interesting that you've never discussed before. After a while, you'll each begin to take an interest in one another's hobbies simply to get along better.
Note that not everyone even has the potential to be interested in a given subject; some people will never care about a subject, so there's no sense introducing them to it.
That got one of the biggest laughs of my whole time there; not because Hitchhiker's Guide wasn't funny, but because of the accidental humor of copying oneself and pretending to be original.
So was StarCraft, I think, or really near it; something like it was to go gold on April 1. This was years ago, and after years of delays, so people thought it was an April Fool's joke.
This is like folks saying, "We lost $5M last year due to downloads"; that's not true, that's "we couldn't convice people to pay us for our product." That's not "lost sales" or anything, that's "poor marketing" (I include price setting in "marketing").
Brings up the notion of something like, I lost $1 billion last year because sales of my dryer lint were lower than anticipated due to people stealing their dryer lint from the laundromat. (Price per item: $500 million)
Why use a stopwatch? On Unix (well, Linux, anyway), there's a command time which tells you how long a program takes to run. Stick the original subroutine in a 10000 loop in main, time it, then run the new one 10000 times. If it's faster, great. Try to use random data with an O(1) generation time; otherwise, it might be that that particular combination of data happens to be faster.
Not only that, but the R&D money is spent. It's gone. If this ruling is shot down, there will be no reason to include the broadcast protection (absent phenomena like Sony, where the media producer is also the consumer electronics producer), but including the broadcast flag would raise the unit price. If the unit is well-designed and modular, it will be a simple matter of removing the element causing the broadcast flag to be enforced, lowering the overall cost.
As an Iowa State undergraduate in computer science and computer engineering, these discussions always surprise me. The computer engineering program requires C, C++, MIPS assembly, and Verilog (for implementing a pipelined processor). The computer science program requires C++, MIPS assembly, Verilog (for implementing simple gates), and Scheme. Several courses assume you know Java, even though it's not a prerequisite. Along the way I've also dabbled in Perl, but that was purely recreational and I find I didn't prefer it compared to the above languages. At any rate, there are programs out there that barely pay attention to Java in favor of other languages.
I have heard it said that a woman selected it random will usually be closer to the average than a man selected at random, in either direction. Women are Mother Nature's safe bet, men are the crap shoot. It troubles me that so often feminists quote the 70% pay figure, but that it was difficult to procure a statistic of the number of men in prison compared to women (1,368,866 men, 101,179 women in 2003; that's an order of magnitude more men). It doesn't look to me that there is any interest in closing the latter gap.
I had a point to this post to begin with, but I think I've said what I've wanted to say, that the deviation in women is smaller than in men, for good or ill.

There's a great little book I have called Tales Before Tolkien. Most of it is even public domain, so you can dig it up through Gutenberg.

Hey, that's a tenth as long as it took to find Sauron's.

I'd rather get a degree in Zan, be able to take water forms.
Looks like this guy caught his own criminal. Unlike the rest of you lazy slobs.
Sounds like something we could use for Slashdot.
I prepared explosive runes this morning.
(Same vein as Order of the Stick, once something's read, it can't be unread, once something's thought, it can't be unthought.)
Or maybe Apple didn't want to put the DRM in in the first place, and now that it's been broken, there's little reason to keep it in place?

You're going to sue Harvard? One of, if not the, top law schools in the country? Good luck finding the better lawyer.
Even better, people on an escalator that enters a gym.
There's a configuration option to control the volume of your computer? Sweet! Now I can take my desktop anywhere.
Do you really want to trust open source programmers to have artistic talent? They're programmers.

Which one, the cornuthaum or the dunce cap?

"Somebody ought to cross ball point pens with coat hangers so that the pens will multiply instead of disappear."
Sometimes you wonder how random those words actually are. On another note, I hear next year they're working on a chimera that can talk.
