Especially since it's proven that everybody learns differently. Some people garner more from hands-on interactive activities than they ever could from simply reading a book.
Ebert, Roeper, that guy waiting in line in a stormtrooper outfit...they're all missing the true point of this movie.
It's not about an innocent man's decent into darkness. That's just a subplot, a minor detail if you will.
No, this is George Lucas's attempt at a public service announcement about the importance of contraceptives. Because if Anakin hadn't knocked up Padme, he wouldn't have had visions of her dying in childbirth, he wouldn't have searched for the power to save her, and he wouldn't have sold his soul to Palpatine in a vain attempt to do so.
Because even in a world as technologically advanced, like a few inches of impermeable rubber, that make the world go round.
It's great to have Linux skills, but what happens when these kids go out into the Windows dominated work force? I don't like the idea of schools limiting themselves to just one OS. Reallistically, they should be teaching a mixture of Windows, Linux, Mac OS, etc.
How about Metroid 2 for the old Game Boy? I can't think of a single non-PC game from that era that did a better job creating an atmosphere. Playing that game feels absolutely lonely.
And yes, it made me jump every time I stumbled across one of those big metroids. Great way to suddenly slice through the feeling of emptiness.
Except that this would never work, because most students come to college already owning a phone and a service plan, which they would be extremely unwilling to change. Believe me, I'm in college, and change is equivalent to a profanity.
By the way, I also wonder about the "90% own PCs" statistic. I've seen more and more Macs popping up on campus in recent years. Plus the design majors use Macs pretty exclusively.
Getting charged for firmware updates should not be happening. Perhaps it's only a matter of time before the practice of releasing free software updates (ala Microsoft and other developers) also catches on in the automobile industry. Then again, they're obviously making money off their mistakes, so why would they bother to change their methods?
Not only is it translating data from the media, running a screen, and accepting input from the user, it's also making a disk spin extremely fast. Sounds like a battery sucker to me.

Maybe it will have twatsyrup for the twatwaffles.

How about the consumer? With all these companies vying for our attention, there's bound to be a few really great innovations along the way.
