I think the best way to do a Star Wars TV show would be to do it as a combination of the old serials and short stories.
The writers should be telling several stories. Each episode would cover a segment of one story. They might do one or two episodes of one story in a row, then switch over to another story for the next episode.
Maybe they could follow an agent of the Imperial Scouting Service as they explore a new hyperspace route, or a couple of Corporate Sector Authority investigators checking out an industrial espionage situation. Maybe we could see the Black Sun organization, or do a couple of episodes on a Stormtrooper squad, like Troops.
With this format, the show wouldn't be tied to any particular era. They could mix up genres. It certainly wouldn't get boring. There would be unlimited room for growth.
As the series matures, maybe a couple of the storylines could touch each other. Perhaps the industrial espionage operation being investigated by the CSA is the same operation we see getting set up in the Black Sun story.
I tell you, this idea is brilliant! Brilliant, I say!
nearly half of the things they printup that are funny are exactly the sort of situation you described, where there's "bad news" about a company or product and then listed on the same page is that company or product's ad
"Such an event could fling ash and rocks thousands of feet into the air but would not be expected to pose hazards beyond the volcano's crater and flanks."
I know why the Japanese are designing robots with static stability. See, it all comes down to anime.
Giant robots are masters of martial arts action. The key to most martial arts is keeping balanced at all times. So to built giant martial arts robots, the Japanese are specializing in static stability.
Star Trek was the first to be driven into the ground. Anyone who can give up on Star Trek has already done so, but there are still optimists for Star Wars.
The Force is what gives a Jedi his power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
Try imagining a porn reading of the above line. Interesting.

Never mind the platforms. Vote on past performance. By any measure, Bush is incompetent. He is just not good enough to be President. He put the U.S. in debt, wasted our political capital, failed in Afghanistan, cut science, pushed his own religious agenda, and simply doesn't have the long-term thinking that the Chief of State of the United States of America should exhibit.
But the Republicans are putting him up for the position again. They should have cut their losses and nominated someone else for the Presidency. Bush isn't going to do better in his second term than he did in his first--one of his problems is that he can't admit mistakes.
All kids go to high school. Then kids who want to learn a trade skill go to a vocational school, and kids who want to go to college go to a community college or university. Punks who are on their way to prison don't bother with either of those, and don't always bother with high school either.
I don't think so. America is the most stressful place in the world to work. We're way out on one end of the bell curve, and we know it, and we know that isn't a good place to be. That's why we're bitching about it here.
Now, let's take the next country along the bell curve. Japan, IIRC. We think they work too hard, too. That blows your theory out of the water.

First /. gets into Politics by adding that new section. Now this.
Embrace and extend, baby. Embrance and extend.

Remember, even bad publicity is good publicity!
"Subtle" ethnic humor?
Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I present Exhibit 1: "Blazing Saddles"
Also, Exhibit 2: "Men in Tights".
Case closed.
Quick, put him in cryonic suspension until they discover a cure!
From the article:
"Such an event could fling ash and rocks thousands of feet into the air but would not be expected to pose hazards beyond the volcano's crater and flanks."
This reminds me of the Voodoo version control system for Macintosh. Is that an accurate comparison?
I mean, aside from the fact that the Arch interface is apparently dangerous, and Voodoo has a GUI.
It would make more sense to use a class system rather than a level system.
Class A: Gaming powerhouse.
Class B: Vid-editing mastery.
Class C: Office work.
Class D: Browser, e-mail, word processing.
Take inspiration from this experiment -- and find out!

I am a person in the 21st century, and I surely don't want to have to do any of those things.
But with a solid tire, would you actually see any benefit from adding air to compensate for loads, or for weight of different vehicles?
IT'S NOT JUST CRIMINALS THAT USE ENCRYPTION!
Yeah, the Government has a ton of uses for encryption as well.
Oh, wait, was that redundant?
Cognitive dissonance. The expected isn't the actual.
Good ol' McDermott. You know, there's a reason why we call him Congressman-for-life.
Frankly, given the amount of scandal and weirdness he's been involved with, I'm amazed he's still in office. Amazed, but pleased.
This just goes to show that everything that can be invented has been invented already. There have been a bunch of stories along these lines.
This is simply the re-invention of the Stirling external combustion engine.
In Discover, there was an article about water distillation through hydrates. Again, not new.
The recent locomotion research is based on insects. They've been around for billions of years.

How about Cool World? That was widely distributed.

So vote for someone else.
We already have a system like this.
All kids go to high school. Then kids who want to learn a trade skill go to a vocational school, and kids who want to go to college go to a community college or university. Punks who are on their way to prison don't bother with either of those, and don't always bother with high school either.
You could go to a school that offers a nanotech degree.

I would actually prefer that the employer provide more value to me, rather than finding ways for me to provide more value to my employer.
