I'd assume all of those things are in a center "core" that doesn't rotate, so they're always at the same place relative to the rest of the building. It's all got to rotate ON something, and that's where the utilities are.

This is exactly how the system should work. This way, parents make the choice about what their kids watch/read/play, and it's up to them to decide how informed a choice this should be. I think plenty of "parenting" is already done by the government and industry in stopping sales to minors, there shouldn't be any regulation on a parent purchasing a game for their child.
but it it keeps even one religious freak from screaming about whats on the airwaves and getting in my congressmans face about it, I'm all for it.
If it really had any effect, we'd be seeing softcore porn and swearing (beyond South Park) on your non-pay cable stations by now. TV has only become more restrictive in the last year since everyone freaked out about 1 second of nipple, and even with ratings and v-chips, we're not really seeing any new adult-oriented material on the airwaves.
Is it that hard to call a few people on the phone, or heaven forbid talk to someone at work or school to make plans?
You talk about lazy, then immediately mention the telephone, a device used for long distance communication. You could just as easily write a letter to tell your friends, or call it out in the public square. Different technologies add ease - telephone is easier than a letter (or trekking across town when you really want to meet your friend in the middle). This is easier than calling up 40 friends.
Just because a technology is old doesn't mean it's any better, and just because it's new, it doesn't mean it sucks.
...that *if* they get made, they don't degrade my fun memories of what Star Wars *should be* any further....:-(
Perhaps you shouldn't watch them, then. It's not like it's some third party - it's the creator of that universe. It's his to do with as he pleases, good or bad. If you didn't like the prequels, and can't take your rose-colored glasses off to watch the first three, perhaps just staying out of the theater is your best bet.
That this entire story feels off-topic to me. I'm not trying to "troll" here, so hear me out.
You know, you don't have to read every story. Just like your television, you can control which content you see, and which you don't. It's not like the headline said something about Linux or Warcraft to lure you in.
I LOVED my ricochet modem at UCSC. I remember sitting in a field with my laptop, modem and a webcam, just to say I could videoconference with less than $500 worth of equiptment in 1997. I used the same setup (and Netscape push technology)in a gen-ed technology class as an example of "what was possible". I got an A.
He's in socal now? I had him as a professor at UC Santa Cruz in 2000, he had been teaching there one quarter per year. I was under the impression he still lived in MA, even though he wasn't teaching at UCSC anymore.
Great guy, great songs, and an awesome math teacher.
ST:TNG was too softly and soapy (it even had the evil twin sister kinda stuff), Deep Space 9 became a true soap, going away from the 1 hour episodes into an neverending story with returning cast members. Dynasty in space. Voyager never stopped whining. Enterprise is so bad I didn't even watch past ep3. And I am very forgiving to ST.
How can your final sentance in that paragraph possibly be justified, given the rest of what you said?
"Knowing is half the battle" may be have been used in an after-school special, but was more popularly known as the catch phrase at the end of episodes of the GI Joe cartoon from the 1980s.
This website has a list of the ends of these episodes where this phrase is used.
Note to everyone not named "George Lucus": Star Wars isn't yours. Yes, I know you're a fan. Yes, I know you grew up with these films. But it's a few pieces of entertainment, and the brainchild of another person.
I'm sorry you viewed the first films through the rose-tinted glasses of youth, and are unable to view the latest three in the same way. Feel free to bitch and moan about how it's not up to some mythical "standard" you create, but it comes down to it being Lucus' movie, and he can do as he pleases.
The main problem you have with this is that almost all scripted television works with a set cast - Jolene Blalock and Scott Bakula weren't just brought in for their acting or looks, but because they'd play characters that fans would tune in to see every week.
The idea is great for novelization, or graphic novels, or computer games, but for weekly television, and the demands set by casual fans and network executives, it just doesn't work that way.
While I agree that too much TV definately isn't healthy for the smaller set, your "imagination" argument doesn't really work. Six year olds don't have fully developed imaginations, and they'll take large chunks of any inspiration - their friends, family, and books. Even as adults, we get our imagination from the world around us - it's not just a TV thing.
I agree about CalPIRG (and I had the same expirience at UCSC), but at least you could get out of it, even though there was paperwork. It's sometimes impossible to buy books somewhere else, and most of the time it's much less convienant than buying it up at the bookstore. There's often no way to write yourself out of that.
now you edit text files all day long and are constantly "living in" your editor
But that's just it - I'm not talking about someone who would be the type to "live" in any app. I've seen people who can't figure out their VCRs using tracking and ordering software with a command line interface, because they've learned it. That's not a big deal. But for my mother, the girls down the hall when I was in college, and most people's Grandparents, it's not a difficult choice.
the majority of home PC users are not slashdot geeks
And that's exactly why they're never going to run Linux. For all of it's problems, Windows is easy to use - I wouldn't ever consider teaching my mother or another non-geek Linux, it wouldn't be worth my or their time.
That doesn't mean it didn't happen, nor is it the same as digitizing it himself. Does the academy require all screeners to lock up their movies while they're not watching them? I'm sure it was out of his grasp for a few minutes here and there.
I'm sure the MPAA has audits of the process to prove that from creation to packaging nobody interfered with the disc
I'm sure you're sure, but I'd like to see either some proof or documentation to that effect. I doubt highly that that any such audits could prove this anyway - hundreds of people are involved in the process, and the MPAA doesn't have (and probably doesn't want) a human watching every step.
Slashdot Mirror
You're not poor and without health insurance, are you?
I can only assume it's popular because it's orders of magnatude cheaper than the "real" legit stuff, and for a lot of people, that's all that matters.

It's already slowing down fast...

...transation...
That should be "Translation"
Looks like I need to provide some shells myself. That'll teach me to post without previewing.
How many shells will it cost me for a transation of this post?

I get those also, as do a lot of other bloggers I know. It's really quite annoying.

But I think it's much more fun if you try to feel the correct decision
Do you have a large bankroll? Would you like to come "feel" how well you'll do at my home games? We love players like you....
Note to everyone not named "George Lucus": Star Wars isn't yours. Yes, I know you're a fan. Yes, I know you grew up with these films. But it's a few pieces of entertainment, and the brainchild of another person.

Doesn't it depend on when you stop flipping? Some people do win.
War is the normal state of human affairs; peace is an ideal condition we extrapolate from the fact that there are intervals between wars.

Already against the rules.
