Oh, should I have mentioned that I had set fire to the apple store before I started?
You must be new here... (Looks at/.-ID)... Uhm... well, forget that.
But: one of us didn't get a joke here I guess. In case it was you, check out what Wikipedia has to say about the My freelance gig in front of a Mac troll.
Mod this shit down. This happens with bombs. Here in Germany they find WWII bombs in the ground every day. Just a few weeks ago my street was almost evacuated because the found one on a building site.
They most likely would have still lost the war , but the face of europe would be a very difrent one than it is today.
I really don't think so. The US would have tested their A-bombs on Hamburg and Bremen instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. War ends, a few years pass, Germans and US-Americans are best buddies. (Cue Bob Dylans "With God On Our Side")
I suppose it is about time for another "What if " ww2 movie
In fact I did. What's your point? Does a Star Wars movie these days have to be worse than the Holiday Special to allow me to say it is a bad movie? Now that's lowering the bar...
Uhm, yeah, well... No, they didn't like it too... Did I said i fast forwarded the movie? I meant I fell asleep during it. Yeah, that's it. I was sleeping! Look! There! Nekkid women!
Yeah but it would also have been a hell of alot better in many of our eyes had it not been associated with star wars..
No, I am really sure it doesn't work as a movie. And I am sure if hadn't Vader and Chewie in it, that you would hate it. In fact the prequels made me look at the OT with different eyes and these days I think that ROTJ was already shit. In fact I had that feeling when I left the cinema that night in 1983. Then i was thinking if we just saw a remake of ep IV, with it starting on Tattoine. Again. And ending with the destruction of a Death Star. Again.
Since when is putting some scenes in a row sufficient to be a plot? It has no structure or pacing whatsoever. And the action was 99,99% CGI and you can see that. Give me CGI I can't tell from real stuff and I will be impressed.
But I think "Die Hard" is well written, has strong characters, good actors, good acting, is well paced, has nice dialogue and funny one liners, is well structured and was a fresh approach to the "Thrillers-With-Explosives"-genre. Maybe Ep III is fun to look at, but I was bored to death while watching it, going on fast forward ever so often, because I couldn't stand it. Sometimes i wasn't bored, but got angry at the stupidness. Fast forwarding in a StarWars movie! That's how bad it was! And even revisiting the blockade runner or seein Chewi again didn't make it better.
For sake of karma I shouldn't post this, but... what the heck...
new reports show that the two companies are talking again
No. Only because that Karmazin guy ponied up $3,495 for a ticket to "D: All things digital" where he stalked Steve and pestered him about his sattelite stuff, that doesn't mean "two companies are talking".
I wonder if the name of the "anonymous reader" who submitted this story rhimes on Shmarmazin:
"[...]his company is in talks with Apple [...]" should read: "had discussions with everyone"
And "Karmazin met with Steve Jobs Monday" should be: Monday night at "D: All things digital", he pestered some industry figures he accidently stumbled upon. Steve Jobs most likely thought: "Who is this guy and should I call security to get rid of him?"
Surprise! Your analogy is flawed. In your case a red car was involved in commiting a crime. Fact. In TFA there is no mention of anyone using PGP to encrypt pitures of the 9yo girl.
"That's why Empire Strikes Back was so good. He didn't write the dialogue, or direct. The Story, however, was his."
I am not so sure about with this. Looking at how terrible Ep 6 was and Kurtz leaving production seat because he wasn't happy with how Lucas changed the storyline, I wonder how much influence he had on George.
You know what? We all knew George was Anakin turned Vader, but now I'm sure Kurtz is Obi Wan.
Only problem is the two workprint timers at the top
Well, if they were at the top it would be OK, but this looks more like in the middle of the picture. And there are different version of this workprint out. Some have bad spect ratio and sound out of synch.
As I said elsewhere it is pretty normal for big corporations to be involved in lawsuits. It's the "regulators" part, that is interesting, as well as some timing.

You forgot to mention that you tried to copy a 17 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder ...
Yeah, since i got modded down all day, I don't care to burn some more karma ...
Too much Star Wars he watched has.
This is true.

Thanks, but no, thanks.

Lemme guess: The K'nexis Made For Windows (TM) has delete instead of shift?
Uh, oh ...
Hehe. But realistic movements would add a nice touch to a multi million dollar production. Hack, even the Incredibles moves are more believable :)

Here are pictures of the G5s in action at E3.
Apparently not. I hope I won't get modded down for whining, but I submitted exactly that story to /. on Friday May 20, @03:47PM :-/

What I was trying to tell you, in a funny way, was that I find your assumption that Cubans don't know what computers are, pretty ignorant.

I tend to repeat myself, but I can't remember mentions of "legal actions" "initiated" by "regulators" in the filings I read.
