Good points- but also remember in the third world there isn't really houses or apartments with doors. No police and courts to really enforce the ownership laws- if any exist at all.
Also- there isn't much power to plug desktops into and if there is- it usually is not very reliable. A laptop it better suited to deal with places where power is spotty and unreliable.
It isn't worth it for you- maybe not for me- but for someone in a third world country it could definitely be worth their time. This is just another example of globalism.
Wow- I thought the Christian Right (tm) could take a joke. Apparently not.
Your argument showing how I have "ZERO comprehension" of the movie was moving and insightful. I will just shut my trap now and defer to your higher intellect.
Who's sword is this?
It's not a sword, its a light sabre.
Who's light saber is this?
It's Vaders.
Who's Vader?
Vader's vaporized baby, Vader is vaporized.
Uma Thurman would make a great Padame. Juliet Dreyfus could be Princess Lea.
Of course it's always possible that Anakins mother lied and Palpatine made Anakin the old-fashioned way..
Being an unwed mother! The Christian right would have boycotted the movie. Then again, I am suprised they didn't boycott the movie for having a virgin birth. There is just no pleasing some people though.
Palpatine tells the story of Darth Plageuis and how his apprentice killed him in his sleep. I believe he said (and correct me if I am wrong), that he taught his apprentice this trick. I originally inferred that Palpatine was the apprentice who killed his master- but in watching the film last night- I ruled that out too since he didn't know how to trick either.
Beating up bitches and killing cops definitely helps on the IQ.
People crapped on pool halls when they first came out. Fact is- they kept kids out of trouble. When there was no TV- kids collected comic books. There is always going to be distractions-- they are just growing to be more complicated.
Carl Johnson is without question the most charismatic and entertaining character of the PS2 trilogy, which makes the story even better. This line took me a little bit by suprise. I liked CJ, but it is hard to beat Ray Liotta doing a voice. I didn't realize that one could make CJ so fat. My character is pretty damn buff- maybe I will fatten him up a bit.
In addition, Vaio TX series are equipped with AV mode button. This AV mode button makes the instant Mode available in 12secs without any booting process. It enables the user to watch pictures or movies and listen to music without booting Windows. Funny- I have a Vaio that is a year old and I watch pictures, movies, and listen to music all without booting windows too. Now, if we could get that button to work with Linux- you'd have a product.
In June 2000, soon after the first unmanned test flight of a Shenzhou spacecraft, an article in Xiandai Bingqi magazine explained why the cost of human flight was justified:
The cost of human flight to the Chinese? Since when did the Chinese value human life? They kill babies AFTER they are born, they drive tanks over protesters, they kill political dissenters..... Of course China will do manned flight- they could care less about the cargo.
I would probably catorgorize myself as a casual gamer- I play once a week- often not at all- but I'd say I buy 5-6 games a year. I'd like to play more- but don't have time. Is this just me or are others in this same category?
Today, school are so complacent to kids- they aren't ever challenged. Today- all kids get the gold stars- all are told how wonderful they are. The parents allign with the student and not the school over disputes. Kids are growing up without ever being truely challenged- and always expect success. The young kids in the workplace today want a pat in the back for the most trivial of tasks.
People need to learn failure. All people. Engineers will most likely learn it at school- others will most likely learn it in the real world.
Also- what the author fails to point out is that many engineers go on to study other things. You can take an engineering degree and goto medical school or law school. I'm even willing to bet an engineering degree will help you more than a liberal arts degree. If he had stuck it out- he would probably be in the same position- if not a better one- than he is today. Patent attorney's make a boatload of money.
Well- he couldn't hack engineering- so now he is a lawyer. That is great. Couldn't do discete mathematics- but now he could be the public DA defending someone on death row.
I remember having a rough go of it the first few years of engineering school. I applied myself and the grades were certainly not what I was used to getting. I stuck it out- and they got better once I hit my major classes.
I think everyone needs to hit that academic wall at some point- if you don't- your not getting what you paid for.

I thought it was "Simpson's did it".
Man- XP boots fast but that is about all.

You didn't think George Lucas became a multi-billionaire making 3 movies?

I have to say the 1980's show Dukes of Hazard was the ultimate in sophistication. It has been all downhill from there.

This name infringes upon Taco Bell's trademark. Blizzard is simply trying to avoid a lawsuit.
How many of these companies will actually be around in 2 years? Great products don't always translate into success.

Also- "holy grail" refers to something that one would attempt to attain and can never seem to get. Even the WSJ acknowledges that Windows is buggy.
This story had the chance to break the Godwin's Law record. I am proud that you people have abstained thus far.
