I'm with you 100%. I don't understand why everybody hated SGU so much, as I found the show completely engrossing and interesting. It took longer to bond with the characters, but that's because McGuyver wasn't wisecracking on the firing line in this one. I, for one, already miss the show, and we're still supposed to get the 2nd half of season 2.
All those people that enjoyed SG-1 Redux, aka Atlantis, just wanted another copy of the original. I was thrilled they did something totally different with the property.
This falls into the same category that anything Linus says does for me. Just because you've had one good idea, doesn't mean we should listen to you about anything else. Bram doesn't sound like he knows what he's talking about, and he's using the position he gained by inventing something lots of people use to push his opinion. Linus tries that all the time, and I usually don't give him the time of day either.
You've obviously never met any nine year olds. Spend alittle while in an irc channel, then imagine trying to get that to sit in front of a computer for 24 hours swapping CDs.
Yeah...I thought so.
Did none of you play Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight when it came out? I hold that up as the best FPS/nonRPG use of quality cinematics ever. The game was fun, and at the time pretty amazing, the cinematics made you feel like you were watching Star wars 7 back before there was news of any prequels, and the story worked on such a great level. That was a game that game publishers should aspire to put out over and over again. The total commitment to quality in that made the franchise for me. I've bought every one of those titles since, and I even when back and bought Dark Forces because of it.
When you talk about classic melding of story and cinematography in games, Jedi Knight has to come up somewhere.
Ah, but he's not really a jedi in the sense of the old republic jedi's. I mean, yes, he can use the force, and he chooses good, but aside from that he's nothing like them. It's a new beginning.
Well, Vader destroyes the Jedi order, thus decimating the light side of the force, and then at the end of episode VI, he destroy's the emperor, and himself dies, ending the line of Sith. Thus, balance.
Anything Zahn has written would make amazing Star Wars movies. His character treatments are so much better than Lucas's it isn't funny, and his overall story arch is just as grand and menacing, although it would be hard to get all the original actors back again...and the story would have to be reworked abit so that Luke/Leia where older when it takes place.
If you can't tell, I can't stomach the thought of other people playing Luke/Leia/Han. It's almost sacreligious.
Originally, back on my 1.5gig Seagate harddrive 90Mhz Pentium computer, when Napster came out, I used it to get Jamiroquai songs. Living in the American South, you can imagine how hard it was to find their singles any other way. After about 1 year of finding their tracks online, I started using my summer earnings to buy their albums (this was around the time that Synkronized came out), all of which I now own.
When I moved on to my 900Mhz Athlon HP machine, I used AudioGalaxy (back when it was free) to find music by the likes of The Grateful Dead and Bob Dylan, mostly live. From there, I moved on to building my own machine and buying my own albums off iTunes and trading online. Truely, bittorrent has allowed me to find more artists I would have never been able to find in my area than would have been possible. Animal Liberation Orchestra owes 2 CD purchases to bittorrent, Ben Harper owes all his, as does Jack Johnson. The Grateful Dead, to whom I am eternally grateful, owe a lifelong fan to it's power. I've come to listen to and purchase more music through P2P than I would have ever been introduced to had I not found Napster back in 6/7/8th grades.
I worked for Staples over the break, and let me tell you, this stuff is just as bad of quality as Belkin's b/g wireless equiptment. Don't fall for their "Join the Pre-N Revolution" crap, just wait for Linksys or Netgear to release some certified 802.11n equiptment. Belkin's wireless products are definitely the bottom of the barell when it comes to consumer networking equiptment.
Well, FireFox renders it correctly, and since it uses an older version of Gecko from what I understand (it hasn't moved to the newest Gecko rendering engine as far as I know) I'd assume that Mozilla renders it correctly.
They're still going to allow them to be downloaded seperatly, it's not like once they both hit 1.0 they're gone as seperate products or anything, it's more of a "hey let's replace our mainline browser with something developed for speed, along with a "new" mail client also developed for speed. After they do, the mozilla developers will work on making the two work closer together, while the firefox/thunderbird developers will do what they've been doing, bulding great apps!

Nobody knows you've done anything at all.
Behold the mighty reach of Capitalism! The waves crash and the seas may boil, but the market reaches into the hearts of even the most desperate!

Let me guess, you're one of those guys trying to get linux running on a cardboard box and a box of Kleenex, aren't you?

Oh Nos! I'm hiding data from the government?! What can I do to stop Mr. Policeman?

I wonder what language they'd write "hello world!" in?
"where we have free speech and personal liberty" You're welcome.

They'd already be in heaven, so they'd be in the clear.
