Yes, the first lightsaber combat (in ep.IV) is definitely poorly choreographed. While Obi-Wan may have been old and rusty, there's no excuse for Vader.
The REAL reason is that the lightsaber prop would have broken if they fought any more vigorously.
So, are you saying there will never be a market for portable televisions with small screens?
There already is, if you look at portable DVD players and PSP and such, but they have larger screens than the iPod. If you want video, you want a separate device from the iPod.
You'd have to connect video and sound separately. Even then, what's the point? If you have to connect it to a TV for it to perform its function, then why make it portable like an iPod?
Your argument does not follow. From the premises "Apple got in trouble in the 70's when they first used the word and had to agree that that Apple (computer company) would not get into the business of Apple (music company)", and "Of course, Apple (music company) cried foul recently over iTunes", the correct conclusion is not that "Cross-industry trademarks do have to be negotiated", because the dispute you're referring to took place not between uncontroversially and unambiguously different industries, but over the question of whether it was a conflict within the same industry.
The problem I had was with Hoshi, who was never a sex symbol before but was screwing her way through half the crew.
It's the mirror universe, I think that's the point. Besides, this is the producer's way of apologizing for making T'Pol the main sex symbol when Hoshi is so much more attractive.
NASA did look into funding the Russian program to a certain extent, but its forbidden from doing so because of legislation forbidding funding of states which provide support to Iran.
Films are practically never as good as the books they follow (one or two exceptions like 2001)
Except the 2001 novel was written by Clarke and Kubrick to get the basic plot down on paper before they started making the movie. The film wasn't an adaptation of the novel.

Thank you, Thomas Hobbes.
Building a device perfectly capable of playing video and using it to display photos is insanity.
Watching video on a 2 inch screen is insanity. No. It's just completely fucking stupid.
You can't spell and you don't know how to register an account! You MUST be Britney!
If Britney Spears reads Slashdot, I'm eating my moccasins.

Hmm? Oh, what he said.
No, they call it "Mac OS X Tiger". That's important to note because Apple faced a trademark dispute over Mac OS 9 from the makers of OS-9.

If so, would they dream of electric sheep?
Thank God they were only Germans!
Looks like a moderator rejected your rejection of his rejection of the US's rejection of Canada's rejection.
The American comittee on Copyright Reforms is Sen. Orrin Hatch.
A one-man committee? No wonder this country's screwed up.
And it was only implied three times. 60's or not, I'm responding to the spurious claim that Kirk was a womanizer.
Kirk gets it almost every episode
If by "almost every episode" you mean "three times in the entire Trek canon", then yes.
Don't you think it was a little over the top?

For those here who weren't aware of this fact, Gus Grissom died in the Apollo 1 accident.

Bah! Supporting Iran never stopped Reagan!

Hold Your Fire was by Rush, not Nine Inch Nails.

Because technology has the potential to solve human problems
This is the central message of Star Trek, and an attitude I would expect to see more often on Slashdot.
Sulu's hometown was San Francisco, and he spoke in an American accent.
