Then I'll have no sympathy for you when your plane is flown into the Sears Tower because we didn't get intel fast enough to stop it.
Nor will I have any sympathy whatsoever for liberals who shriek that Bush should have done something to stop it.
It's apparently not so obvious to reporters asking why can't the shuttle be turned around that quickly.
Maybe that's why they're asking the question. It's not obvious to me, either. I for one welcome our *cough* I mean, I for one would like to know why the shuttle can't be righted and launched again in two weeks. Doesn't mean I'm assuming that it ought to.
Makes you wonder whether they needed to check with the Patents Office or their mommies and daddies (at their place or work) for permission to do this..
Yup, they are there. It's ridiculous that they weren't cleaned up, after all the trouble (and money) was spent rehabilitating that awful Jabba scene.
Anybody else notice the whiney rodent-dude being handed a drink in the Cantina scene, and the fact that as he turns his head, you can see through the eyeholes? That's been there since the beginning.. I was SHOCKED that Lucas let that pass too.
The real question is whether or not the audience recognized him. If a 20-something kid had showed up at the end if the original ROTJ, nobody in the audience would have known who he was.
StarWarzers are almost as bad as Trekkies.. trying to rationalize things happening in the movie to make it suit your perception of the "universe". It's a freakin movie already, okay?

1997 Performa 6400. Still powers up like it's new. Added a video board and a Sonnet G3 accellerator in 2000. Added an ethernet board and maxed out the RAM in 2002 (96 whole megabytes!!). Still uses original HD (2GB) and motherboard.
As the owner of a 40GB iPod, and one that is on its way to being filled up, probably in another year or two.. I would say 80GB would be the ideal maximum for me.
I am one of those people who buy a CD, rip it immediately and then never listen to the original CD again. Continuing to do that will fill the thing up because I need new music every month or so. But then it's not necessary to have ALL my music on the Pod all the time. As long as I've got plenty of room to store it on my computer, I can keep a big enough selection for my needs on the Pod to take with me.
"Theft" means exactly that: you taking something from someone without permission. Sharing music is duplicatingsoftware (basically, it's a digital document useless without hardware to access it) with permission of the sharer. The sharer still has his music; nothing has been stolen. A duplicate has been created. "Theft" don't enter into it, unless you're the RIAA and are trying to make people hate file sharing.
Actually I prefer iChat over all other IM clients I have used. It is simple, performs just like you'd expect it to (mostly) and is an very elegant interface. I don't use the AV features of iChat, yet, but I would expect that it is just as easy to use as the rest of the program is. And the multiconferencing features on their way with the next release look REALLY cool. I would say iChat represents the best of what an IM client can and should be with today's technology.
I think they're just running out of ways to add bloat to AOL. They've got to sell their product, and to do that they have to have new and exciting things to hype. Ten, twelve years ago, IM was so much fun because it was brand new. It's still much the same product it is today, except larger by many magnitudes (more participants). It's one of AOL's core services, and they gotta keep it sexy.
I think it's an experiment worth trying--3D interactive avatars incorporated into mainstream IMing--but I won't be surprised if it doesn't catch. My thinking is people like their little emoticons just fine.. they work whether you're on AIM, MSN, Yahoo, IRC, or cell phone texting. They make sense (mostly) and provide enough contextual emotional packaging without getting in the way. Trying to shovel more and more nuance into emoticons is going to get much more confusing real quickly.
Was that a wink the bunny gave me? Was it just twitching its nose? Is that supposed to mean it's hungry? Irritated? Eh?
Bush "panders", but John F. Kennedy had vision. Riiiight.
I guess only Democrats are allowed to have vision.. Republicans can only have vision where their corporation's profits are concerned.
And just so this post isn't entirely off-topic, NASA's pace at which it can produce and perform is heavily weighted down with government bureaucracy and taxpayer accountability. If a corporation were to want to go to Mars, with a vision of somehow making it a profitable venture, you can be we'd be there in 20 years easily. In fact probably less than that, and the spaceship would be cooler because all the best companies would want to be in it for the PR value and would sponsor. Cockpit with Recaro seats, a Hummer Mars Rover, etc..
Manufacturere make mistakes all right, but they are RESPONSIBLE for their mistakes, even if they hastily try to recover their products upon noticing the mistake.
This AC is spot-on. You don't sell a car unless you make sure its gas tank doesn't EXPLODE. If you do, you are seriously liable, even if you find out about it after you've sold a few hundred thousand of em.
Well as a Web developer, the less IE is used the better it is for people in my profession. So I would agree that the displacing of MSIE as the dominant browser would be a Good Thing, in other words, a "victory'.
And let's not get started on the issue of rampant security flaws wreaking havoc on the Web thanks to MSIE.

That is normal, don't worry about it.
Hmm .. this wasn't insightful, but the swearing, drooling-at-the-mouth "soccermom" hater was WAY insightful.
Ohhhhh I get it! Drunken moderation! It IS a fun game!

XXX LIVE NUDE GIRLS! 3 miles, turn right.
My favorite advocacy group is the one that puts up those orange signs near work zones that say, "END ROAD CONSTRUCTION". I so totally agree!
If that ain't flamebait, there ain't no such thing.
Because it hasn't been /.ed yet. Too many warnings to not go there.
At first I thought you said, they got iPwned.
That's a pretty cool idea. Let people open up their own iTunes Music Stores on their Web sites, like Amazon and B&N does.

Another lock-step RIAA idiodrone.

Que? is Spanish.
Then why doesn't Kerry sue? The Swifties have said, "If this is untrue, ANY of it, sue us!" (paraphrased). What is Kerry waiting for?
If Kerry would sign the form 180 he could conceivably put the Swifties away permanently. Why doesn't he do it?

The widespread availability of the car was probably a driving factor in this.
You're so much pun to be around.

To my way of thinking they are responsible. They should also be legally responsible as well, and if they are not, then something is wrong.
Manufacturere make mistakes all right, but they are RESPONSIBLE for their mistakes, even if they hastily try to recover their products upon noticing the mistake.
