I was quite surprised and disappointed that they didn't include the depressing ending to the LotR story in the films. I was looking forward to it for three years. At least with two films they might be able to include everything.
Safer than what? I'd rather watch the US gamble for the next president than see someone like Bush get elected on purpose.

P.S. SS3 was announced earlier this year I believe, EA was working on it.
Great, now to unlock more psi abilities you will have to kill 3 zombies with a gun, push one off a ledge, and get one "newspaper headline" kill by doing it in a unique place. If EA brings anything from their sports/racing titles to System Shock, from the "play longer and repeat missions to unlock better stuff" idea to licensed menu music, I will dedicate the rest of my life to finding the decision-makers and killing them in the kind of ways that make GTA scream UNIQUE STUNT BONUS!!!
RNA and DNA are interconvertible, but the naked RNA molecule will be chopped up and eaten by the cell. Even if it didn't, it would also need (at least) a reverse transcriptase, (an RNA-dependant DNA polymerase enzyme)
You... gah... WHAT? WHAT THE HELL? I need that animated cowboy from Jurassic Park back here, STAT!
Damn you, tabbed browsing! I was going to post something insightful and awesome right here in this reply box, but by the time I finished reading the other articles and got back to this tab, all I can think is that I totally agree with you - which I was going to say anyway, but in a much cooler way.
How about I... give you some statistics for my comment which will be posted later, and people can judge how good it will be, and rate this comment accordingly:)
Unlike our navel-contemplating planet co-squatters in the East...
This is just ridiculous. Do you recall what 50s sci-fi looked like? Weird clothes, strange household devices, robots for the rich, little round cars. When was the last time you went to a restaurant and used your mobile phone to pay the bill? Admittedly, Japan, Korea, etc have the advantage of a high-density population, so that whatever you want to supply, you can just as easily supply to thousands as hundreds of people. So why not millions? They have cheap high-speed internet, and all kinds of incredible gadgets. They're living the way we envisaged we would be, and we scoff at them for it.
An easy idea - install the Dvorak keyboard layout, and a shortcut to change layouts. Whenever you type a password, change to Dvorak. Now you have no idea what your password is, but you can get it back by switching to Dvorak and typing in something simple. Of course, you probably couldn't do this on just any old computer...
Perhaps this is a bad idea. I wanted to check out Dvorak, and my shortcut is left ctrl + left shift. Now if I tab around, I ogee.bnf.be gl yfcbi a,drn. nry ru jpalv

What if another user walks into this area while the the user is going at it? Do they go blind?
I think it's the person going at it who goes blind, you wonderfully innocent soul, you.
Look, dude, it's a notebook. It's not a PC, and it's certainly not a server. Personally, I'd rather have faster access, and halve the life-span of the data, than wait for stuff to load and have it all backed up. I don't keep important things on my notebook, and if I did, I'd probably have one of those... automatically updating network folder thingys to mirror it on a PC once a day.
I remember when Street Fighter (yes, Street Fighter 1) used to cost me twenty cents AU. I could play, for $1, for half an hour down at the 7-11. About 5 years ago, I wandered into an arcade, and thought I'd try a little game called "Street Fighter Zero." Easier, because the number is lower, right? The fact that it cost me $2 was a pain. The greater pain was having the living daylights beaten out of me by the very first opponent - some kind of super-charged Ryu, who filled the screen with hadokens while I cringed back in fear, then turned into a helicopter and worked me over for a good minute before demanding more cash.
Now what games do I pay for? Not Street fucking Fighter, it ruined my life! Ideally, I'd like my original time/$ ratio back. So $20 should get me 40 hours of game time (with perhaps 10 hours of that devoted to victory poses and flying to the next continent). That wouldn't be unreasonable for something like, say, Simcity, but for a single-player FPS, we don't expect that much. I'd like ten hours for an entire cheap game, and five hours for an episode looks ok.
I still can't believe what they expect from us for twitch arcade gaming - it's like paying $5 to go into a batting cage and getting three pineapples hurled at your crotch. Sure, you can deflect them if you're good, but if you miss, the pain of failure will be with you forever.
This may be incorrect, but the poster might be Australian (like myself). On google:
US$ 600 = 801.496126 Australian dollars
I don't want to meet the kind of people who are willing to spend that kind of money on a console that promises exactly the same experience, with the same games, and better graphics. A friend of mine bought an X-box 360 two months ago and already the games are less interesting than the idea of hacking it to play DivX so it can totally replace the media centre PC.
Fashion being the way it is, this holds true for all children aged 10-16. Except for the glasses-wearing nerd with an uncanny resemblance to Data. He's got too much to live up to.

I don't find that funny at all. As soon as this finishes posting, I'm going to mod you down.
You're not the only one - I reckon "pour scorn" is a typo, considering it's a student portal.
It is correct... but the first definition that came to my mind, given the 624 hours of Star Trek, was "Excessive."
Superlative.
...as far as I can see, nobody has posted the Bob the Angry Flower comic yet. AWESOMELY funny and somehow totally on topic at the same time :-)

Clearly, this matter which refuses to reflect light in our visible spectrum has something to hide. Ergo, it is terrorism and must be quashed.
I look forward to seeing who they cast as the Wicked Witch of the West :)
Really? You didn't mention dung anywhere... oh, wait... facet... where do you mention small smooth surfaceness? We need a bigger alphabet.

Buddy, films don't predict the future. Name one film that has been reflected in reality.
