Go to the south and observe the mass euphoric religious chanting that goes on there. If you think a group of junkies shooting up is disturbing, I'd advise you never to attend a ceremony of the faithful.
The only time I have ever seen anything of that nature was at a Pentacostal church an ex-girlfriend dragged me to, ie the congregation for lack of a better way to put it, went "batshit nuts." I was in Maine. That's deep south for you there.
One is forced to wonder how people shot each other before the advent of the firearm. One also wonders what such a thing might be called. Furthermore, one believes that "Bow and arrow" sounds like a good name.
If somebody is advertising a product on E-Bay that they do not actually own yet and they do not disclose that information, that is not a good thing. Without a basic level of trust between buyers and sellers there is no economy. Said person needs that "moral fiber" or he's going to end up the slimy kind of salesman that nobody wants to talk to at a used car dealership.

Imagine if you would, for just a moment, that there is more to life than linux, sco, microsoft, google, nintendo, sony, etc. Imagine too, that someone out there, might be interested in this.
However, slashdot does need a "Culture" section for these kinds of articles(ie, Serenity, the Raiders of the Lost Ark remake, Spamalot, etc...)
I seem to recall a certain governor from Arkanasa, this little place called Kosovo, and something about an illegal military action.
Let's not start slippery slope discussions unless we are willing to note precedent from our chosen "side," whether that be left, right, middle, or whatever the case may be.
On one side we have "Oh no, what about the whales?! It's bad enough the military(hereafter to be referred to a baby-killers) exists in the first place, but now you are harming natures own creatures! There must be some way to make the death of every dolphin and whale the fault of Bush, his cronies, and all his baby-killers."
And on the side where the common sense resides we have this; "Hmm, while it may be harmful to aquatic life, there is no way it is more harmful than sinking a nulear or diesel vessel, spilling untold tonnage of nuclear products and byproducts, diesel fuels, various toxic chemicals stored on ship, aircraft fuels, aircraft, aircraft ordinance, standard ordinance, not to mention the loss of human life."
Now, it becomes a simple matter of determining which is more important to prevent. A potential ecological problem, or a guaranteed one.
Someone should perhaps tell them the differences between sci-fi, fantasy, comedy, and drama. Seriously, Xena? While a decent fantasy show, it hardly qualifies as science fiction by any stretch of the imagination. Just the fact that the author(s) seemed to have no idea what constitutes science fiction is enough to invalidate the entire thing for me.
Better luck next time.
Alright, let's further clarify this by saying that we will define a planet based on the length of time it takes for a sustained beam from the Death Star to obliterate it.
Hear hear! I second that. That, alone, is enough of a reason to keep me from any movie theater, and has done so for the past 8 or so years. Sure, I may miss out on the "experience" of going to movie theater, but I can't honestly say I miss it in the slightest.
IANAL.
I think a good question to be asking in this case is who, legally, has ownership of the pictures. I would be very shocked if there was not some way to claim that they are an artistic work, and as such, are protected under some form of copyright law.
And of course, they(M$) will introduce the following security initiative when pen and paper security protocols show evidence of security lapses. White-Out.

Read the topic? On Slashdot?! You must be new here.
Almost requisite Steve Ballmer parody. "Indemnity! Indemnity! Indemnity! Indemnity! Indemnity!..." ad nauseum.
Human nature is all well and fine, but the general consensus is that sex supercedes any other considerations.
The promised paperless office? Same thing.

"Nerds!"

SquareEnix certainly seems to believe that FFXI will be on the Xbox 360.
After all, there is always the remote possibility they may have someone "on the inside" feeding them information.
