or even better how come I cant walk around and connect to the internet anywhere in the country? Isn't it time that we should be able to watch dvds, play video games, watch tv, listen to satellite radio, talk on our cellphones and surf the internet all while driving down the free way?
Maybe every business has a unit that uses competitors products like Coke has a Pepsi unit and Crest has a unit that brushes their teeth with Aqua Fresh.
Its like one big Utopian Free-Market captialist society....

I have always believed that convience is the mother of invention. Combining gadgets is part of it. The more you can do with the one object you bring with you everywhere the more likely it will help you. You may not use all the functions when you first get it but like any good swiss army knife it can save you at important times in the unforseeable future. To be totally fair maybe most people won't ever use the features but that doesnt mean they shouldnt be there. Most people just use the Internet to send emails and a few webpages, does that means Newsgroups, IRC, and other assorted things that the "average joe" wouldnt use or know how to, not existed at all?
I say be thankful that its there cause even if you dont use it today, you might use it tommorow
First of all big budget movies are made for the masses. Audiences will not sit through hours and hours of a movie that has so many different characters that it becomes confusing to watch. Think about it like this, if the movie was exactly what was in the book and the book didnt exist...First you wouldnt be able to sit through it and it would hard to follow all those characters at once. First rule of screenwriting is keep the main characters on screen as much as possible cause they are what the audience reacts to. Having a bunch of little characters who do one or two things not only takes away from the flow of the film, but its also disturbing to the audience who wonders what happened to the other characters.
Look at how many complaints from regular movie goers on the length of Return of The king, which we didnt hear as much with the other films.
The trick of these films was to make the LOTR hardcore fans and the average joes have a good and fun movie experience and for a film that for years was called "unfilmable" I think it succeeded.
If you want to get noticed for your level design the secret is in making levels for Popular Mods like for example the Half-life mod, Counter-strike. Millions of people play this game day in and day out and are always looking for the newest and best levels. If you make a good level for Counter-strike it will spread like wild fire and you will get famous faster than you can handle. Along with other Online Multiplayer mods with rabid fan bases this is the way you get people to look at your talent and you get feedback fast especially if you include a readme file or title for that requests such. I would also recommend making a site to showcase levels and so you can recieve feedback faster like a forum or such.
With every game and movie being leaked now adays and getting tons of press, I bet Lucas leaked this footage (especially since Entertainment Tonight gets more indepth than that) just to start getting more hype... I mean I could give a rat's butt about star wars now a days but I downloaded it because I saw the words leaked footage. Just something to think about.
They send you windows messages that tells you that this is a fault in windows and the only way to fix is to get their software to turn it off. So for the mainstream they have no choice but to comply since they dont know how to turn it off otherwise they keep on sending them windows messages that ruin any experience you could have using the internet.
But I think when Gator declared, that their shit dont stink...that catapulted their asses to #1...Wouldnt it be funny if someone gave all these Jokers virus::cough:: I mean Spyware.
