How much did you pay George Lucas for the use of his (undoubtedly copyrighted) name "jedi?"
You are stealing from him and are a criminal(using your own words). He spent some serious time coming up with that name, and you are denying him just compensation for that work!
Try this. Put your fingers on the home rows on your regular keyboard. Look at the angle your wrists are in. Does that look like a natural, comfortable angle? With the Natural keyboard, your wrists stay straight.
Uh, No. On PvP servers, if you are in a contested zone, you are vulnerable. But if you are in non-contested zone, and not flagged for PvP, you don't have to worry about that level 60 at all.
As Horde, Alliance cannot attack me in a zone such as The Barrens, or Durotar.
Definitely not in the top 2% of the population in humility.
"I am smart but was graded down for not actually doing the work!" When and if you enter the real world, you will realize that you are not rewarded for being smart, you are rewarded for doing the work.
This really pisses me off. Bush can lie till he is blue in the face, but as long as he isn't under oath, it is ok? State of the Union, Press conferences, whatever, he can lie all he wants since he is not under oath?
In the past, PV panel production did use ALOT of power, but that has changed. The current tech PV panel produces the amount of energy it took to create it in about 3 years. Most panels are warranted for 25+ years, and will last much longer. This link from the National Renewable Energy Laboratory has the numbers...
Umm, California actually has very low property taxes, thanks to Prop. 13. My prop tax is 1% the value, with a severe limit on how much they can raise it. In the 6 years I haved lived there, the value of my house rose from $175k to $450k and my property tax went up $50. Yes, that is an insane rise in price. Yes, if I had half a brain, I would sell and get the hell out!
Umm, what shit hole part of this country do you live in? So, unless prevented by an HOA, everyone turns their neighborhoods into garbage dumps? Move!

And us Californians are glad you are not a Californian anymore. There are too many of us as it is, the more that leave the better.
But I always thought that any non-native Californians should be kicked out so we can have our state back!
"It is outlandish to expect a company to do any more for you than you have contracted with them."
But that is the whole point, we haven't contracted with any of these companies to do anything with our data. I never signed a contract with ChoicePoint, never even heard of them until this fiasco, but they still lost MY data. So I guess since I had no contract with them, they are not responsible for keeping that data secure? Then I want the ability to take MY data away from them if they are not going to protect it.
You do need to learn Spanish to move to Southern California.
Most of the billboards are in Spanish, whole sections of town have only Spanish signs on businesses, large portions of the population only speak Spanish.
I have been on shopping trips to Walmart where I did not hear English spoken until I got to the checkout and spoke with the clerk. Where I live, I once got a notice put on my front door by the electric company. It was in all Spanish, with a note at the bottom in English providing a phone number to call to get a copy in English. They assumed I only spoke Spanish rather than English!
How about looking at it this way. You buy a car. A couple years down the line, they change the "car format" by, lets say, making roads narrower. You now have to buy a new car. Six months down the line, they (being the auto companies) change the "car format" again. You gotta buy a new car. If you had the opportunity to convert your car to the new format rather than buying a new one, you would. Would you call that piracy? You are denying the auto companies of the purchase of a new car. They are loosing money because you converted your car rather than buying another one.
How is that different from music and their changes in format re: LPs, 8-Track, Cassette, CD, DVD.
And your statement is bullshit. The Republicans successfully fillibustered the nomination of Fortas in 1968. In addition, the Republicans have fillibustered judicial nominees before and since, but they were not successful, but not for a lack of trying. Senator Frist attempted to fillibuster a Clinton nominee in 1999, but was unsuccessful.

One of the earlier attempts by the California legislature to institute DL's for illegal immigrants had the clause that the immigrant only had to provide a "sworn affidavit" to prove who they are. Couldn't wait to have that one approved so I could get a new DL after I have sworn my name is William Gates.
No, if Slashdot went through their subscriber and accounts list, compared it to a list of who donated money to the RNC, and cancelled all those accounts, regardless of the content of their posts, then it might be close to a similar situation. Then again, this isn't a Gov agency.
Does Haliburton make sure all it's employees are Republicans? What if that was a requirement to get Government contracts? Would that be ok?
So you are responding to a post where someone lists the characteristics of a facist regime. You respond by confirming each characteristic, and furthermore say that each characteristic is a good thing. So you are essentially confirming that the US is (or is moving towards) a facist regime, and say it is a good thing!
How was the Kool-Aid?
You realize, of course, that regardless of whether or not you have passports, you will be on their "dangerous watch-list" for the rest of your lives? And it WILL become an issue everytime you try to fly, or leave/enter the country. All thanks to your "moderate" Pres. Bush.
And I am not lying to myself when I say that we would be better with Kerry. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I am delusional!
Boyd Coddington = high end hot rod house?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You have seen "American Hot Rod" on TV?
I wouldn't let those nimrods touch my Pinto. Except their painter, who left Boyd just recently anyway.
Wow, you guys will go to whatever level is necessary to try and "prove" that solar isn't feasible. Work for Exxon or something?
Well, since the effective lifetime of my panels is about 50 years, in 2052 I will worry about disposing of them. In the mean time, they have eliminated who knows how many pounds or tons of other, known harmful, pollutants from being sent into the atmosphere.
Solar cells take almost as much energy to make as they put out over their lifetime.
Why do people continue to spew this lie over and over again? It has been proven many times that it is untrue, yet the idiots around here keep spewing it out every time solar energy is discussed.
Man, you would think people believe Sadam Hussein planned 9/11. Oh, never mind....

Exactly! Seems about half the posts here about PvP are by people who don't know the PvP rules, and most likely don't play on a PvP server.
Uh, No. On PvP servers, if you are in a contested zone, you are vulnerable. But if you are in non-contested zone, and not flagged for PvP, you don't have to worry about that level 60 at all.
