Let Genndy Tartakovsky have another go. His Clone Wars show was nine levels of awesome. Set the new series in the time of The Old Republic. And because I'm a big capitalist, I'd suggest cross promoting it with Bioware's upcoming MMO.
And let Genndy bring Samurai Jack to some closure as a side project.
Talk to a 12 year old now and they love pod races.
Hell, I was in my late 30s and the pod race was the only thing I liked about TPM. If I can't have a rational story or plot, at least go to the backup plan of eye candy.:-)
Have a 30 year old watch Star Wars for the first time and, on the few times I've been able to find someone who has never seen it, gotten the same 'meh' response I had to the Phantom Menace.
Not sure that's universally true. I like a lot of SF movies that were before my time- Forbidden Planet, Colussus: The Forbin Project, 2001, etc. Heck, I like a lot of films of all types that predate me by decades. I would think that an intelligent, young SF fan today could at least see that Lucas accomplished what he set out to do with the original Star Wars. And if you look back it seems plenty of adults at the time enjoyed the film. I know my parents and other older family members did. So did a couple of my teachers.
For all those "stop raping my childhood"... it's not your childhood.
Agree 100% here. I don't give a gant's fart what they reboot, and sometimes the reboots are actually good.
Your childhood is gone, past, finished... you are an adult now and you can't go back.
They are also going to give you lots of new family members by giving groups of people new middle names like "Daffodil-5" or "Peanut-12". You could hang out with all the other Daffodils or all the other 5s.
Yeah but they introduced the electrical charge. That's what caused the freezing. They just didn't warm the water up enough to keep up with the change in freezing point. It's technical sleight of hand.
It sounds like it freezes due to the change in charge, not because the water warms up. It's freezing in *spite* of the water warming. It's like they are just chasing the freezing point around.
You get the same effect when opening a highly chilled bottle of soda. It starts to freeze due to the release of carbonation, although the pressure change might come into play as well.

Only because its locked down. Remember that. Only because its locked down.
Or is it locked down because it was not intended to be a general purpose computing device?
Oh my! It's so very Zen!
When you perceive the circle, Grasshopper, and the unbroken cycle, only then can you be truly free. Or locked down. No, wait... ah, go practice your bo staff moves.
The hype machine (tech media) was a barrel of fun with their blind guesses.
And now the hype machine (tech media) is all angry because the hype *they* created and fed didn't pan out. Classic. They're like all the disillusioned Obama voters.:-D
And what is with making the caparison to feminine pads? Did you do the same before when someone mentioned a pad of paper, or shoulder pads or someone padding their expense account? Seriously, I don't get it. Eh, that's memes for you.
As for the iPad itself, my hopes were:
- Retractable blades around the edge so I could use it as throwing weapon like Oddjob's bowler hat in Goldfinger.
- A wheeled "rover" dock that would allow the iPad to roam around my house like a pet.
And he ultimately addresses the possibility that the entire Universe, including everyone in it, is in principle computable by a completely deterministic computer program."
After which he took another long drag on his joint and said, "It's like our whole universe is inside a single election in a larger universe, you dig? Hey, pass those corn chips over, dude! Now where was I? What? Ah, never mind. Put on Conan. It's his last show."
I tried to talk my boss into declaring me a stationary engineering platform so I could work at home all the time. He just looked at me funny. I guess he doesn't like science or something.
How can a company whose philosophy of information sharing is so at odds with that of most of its customers be so successful?
Just seems like a non sequitur to me. Or it illustrates the fact that people who gravitate to the Mac are interested in a tool they can use and, say, Linux users are interested in a toy (and I mean that in a good way- I love me my toys) they can fiddle with. Windows users (those who choose it when they don't have to for some reason), well, who can understand them?;-)
Does a an artist care about the inner workings of the companies that makes paints and brushes?

Hi ho!
I've lost an enormous amount of respect for our judicial system with this decision.
Was that satire? I mean... you still had any remaining respect left?
"'m not a democrat or a republican" yeah, I bet you don't have any principles at all.
[50 GALLON SPITTAKE] Pffffffffffffffffffffffffffft!
So only people who identify with a corrupt, broken political entity full of hypocrites and sociopaths are people with principles?
[head explodes]

I'm done fighting this stuff. I have only two questions. [1] Where do I send a resume to be a cyber warrior and [2] do I get an awesome badge?
I'm in a vegetative state right now.
Yeah, I know... "tell us something we don't know"
I'm totally submitting teh Google.
Hey, the terrorists could use it to search for GOD KNOWS WHAT!!1!
Ha! I actually typed that at first. Great minds think alike. :)
Holy crap is that ever true. All the information age has done is informed me what a freaking mess the human race is.
Still, the porn's good, I guess. And that amazon thing.
Now I just feel old and depressed. Yay! Thanks, Slashdot!
Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods?
No gods. Just little men in suits trying to justify their petty, venal little existences as leeches on civilization's bum.

He states, 'It's a bit like looking at your gas gauge and saying "I thought I had half a gas tank, but I only have a quarter of a tank."'
Yes, that's *exactly* what it is like. (eyeroll)
You know, not everything in science needs to or should be translated into every day terms.
Calm down. I was talking about individual users. I have an Ubuntu box of my own.
Wish you could start your car via your cell phone
No, not even remotely.
Heh heh... remotely...

Lost the hat flying to work! Chin straps just don't work with top hats, don't you know, from a fashion POV.
I can wear it as I commute with my personal electric flying machine to my shiny new, high paying "Green" career.
