Actually, at the very bottom, they give an example of how to have your employer sign a copyright disclaimer, and the example company is "Yoyodyne, Inc", which is awfully close to "Yoyodyne Propulsion Systems". However, this particular name predates BB by about 15 years, so they might have gotten it from there.
see thats the surprise, Anakin is killed, and to avenge his friend Jar-Jar become Darth Vadar!
Hah... that would be awesome... and I suppose Jar-Jar will knock up Amidala? Man, if Lucas wants to send a nice "fuck you" to all the geeks out there who are bad-mouthing him, he should include a love scene between Jar-Jar and Natalie.
Qix When I played this on Atari (either 5400 or 7800), it was never the same game twice. You had to think and take risks.
Qix was indeed a great game. However, I wouldn't really call it neglected. It had a pretty good following back in the day. Moreover, I can't imagine how they could remake it without totally destroying it. I'd imagine that one of the requirements would be that it's 3D, and this would probably end up making it looking way cheesy. With games like Qix and Tempest -- where their simplicity is part of their beauty -- it's probably best to play the originals though MAME...
So go into the bathroom/bedroom/kitchen and make some unreasonable demand about how she organizes her toiletries/jewelry/spices. Then when she balks, offer her a compromise: she can keep them the way they are if you can keep the computer room the way it is. You're not completely whipped are you?
In practice, what this means is that if a company (whether or not through a director or officer) lies about something material to the stock price, people who buy during the period of market manipulation (essentially, from the date of the lie until the truth is revealed) can recover for their damages (generally but not always what they paid minus the "true value" of the stock when they bought it).
In practice, what this means is people who buy during the period of market manipulation can be part of a class action suit, from which they'll receive a few pennies, and the lawyers representing them will receive several million dollars.
And before you start to think that I'm just being cynical, my part of the recent Schwartz-CitiBank $27 million dollar class action suit was a credit on my bill for $0.09. The lawyers got $9 million.
So watch Northwest when the market opens and, if it falls a lot, expect to see securities lawsuits as well as privacy lawsuits.
And even if it doesn't fall a lot, expect to see securities and privacy lawsuits brought by civic-minded **cough** lawyers.
I would agree with your placement of the blame if people actually followed the advice of nutritionists.
Your statement would have more merit if anyone actually followed the advice of nutritionists. Even -- and in some cases especially -- thin people don't follow their advice.

Can someone write a review of it so I know if it's worth reading?
I work for a small community bank in upstate NY. I just tried this on our main transaction logging server (RH7.2), and it totally hosed the system. Now it doesn't look like any of our transactions are going to be stored...
Oh well, let's just hope that I can make it through the day without anyone noticing. Then I'll be basking on the beach in So.Cal for a week.:)
Oh wow. You played 3D games in the 80s. You really wanted to drive the point home by giving me that page about SubRoc-3D.
That's right... I wanted to make the point that 3D games have been around for a long time, and it's not the "3D" that's difficult. But your original post was very condescending by implying that somehow older people can't grok 3D games, because they grew up playing Space Invaders and that's all they'll ever be able to play. In reality,
You know, you could've just stated that you disagreed with me in a nice manner rather than getting worked up and adding me as a foe over a comment about video games. Your responses make me think that you really do care, and I thank you for caring.
Bwahahaha.... worked up? Just blowing off a little steam after a hard day of work. You'll understand when you move out of your parents' house.
As for why I added you to my foes list, don't read too much into that. I don't take anything seriously with this account. I've only had it for
less than three months, and I've already got seven foes... for most of them, I don't even remember why I made them foes. In two months, I probably won't remember why I added you, either (your memory goes in old age, y'know). You haven't made my foes list on my real account yet. When you do, then you can think I care (or at least you can think I think you're a supreme asshat).
Reminds me of the pencil fights we used to have on the bus going to and from elementary school.
Wimp. We played "thump": one kid puts his hands together arched into a diamond shape (as seen from the side), so that there is an air pocket between them... then the other bends his middle finger behind his thumb, and snaps it forward onto the other kid's hands, with the air pocket making a loud noise, and the force of the hit causing extreme pain. You take turns until one quits. Now that's a game!
The fans of those shows are mostly in their 30s. Considering that people that age grew up playing simple arcade games, I doubt that they're going to be able to handle a 3D title.
WTF are you talking about? Exactly what about a 3D title makes you think us dinosaurs can't "handle" it? Shit, some of us were playing 3D games while you were still crapping in your diapers, punk.

You do know it's referenced in the GNU GPL, don't you? Though I wonder who put it there, it doesn't really seem like Stallman's style...

Yeah, like I'm gonna listen to two guys whose last names are one letter each away from "assman" and "enema".

No, it's not. It sucks.
How's that?

Thank you for the deep analysis of my psyche, Dr. Sigmund Fraud.
Now that I know that you're a middle aged man who takes extreme pride in their video game prowess, I have a great deal of respect for you...
"Extreme pride"? Where the hell did you dream that up from? All I said was that we could "handle" 3D games, not that I'm a fucking Quake-master.
And believe me, sonny, not having the respect of an insignificant twirp such as yourself really doesn't keep me up at night.
