Dude, don't argue with conspiracy theorists. You'd have more luck debating pork consumption with a Islamic extremist or abortion rights with an evangelical.
Cpnspiracy theories are, in all important aspects, religions.
Here's their so called strategy: a bunch of mega-asshole, Nazi-shitbox driving, cocaine addicted laywers will go around bullying people who can't afford to defend themselves into submission. End of strategy.
The MS execs and lawyers will laugh all the way to the bank and to the apartments of their call girls. Oh, and they'll stop to buy a six pack of politicians on the way, politicians who will laugh when they see *your* email companining about MS's actions and the need for patent reform.
All we can really do is hope that their dicks slowly and painfully rot off because the whores all got some sort of super-STD.
Other than that, everyone without billions in cash, my laddies, is well and truly fucked in this manner.
Maybe this was a joke, but it exemplifies the problem with a lot of modern genre fandom. "Eeeew! Drama! Eeeew! Humanity and emotional stuff! Eeeeew! Icky girls!" It's this sort of thing that keeps SF and fantasy so marginalized.
And while season 3 had some weak points, this whole WORST SEASON EVER stuff is so silly. Seriously, a lot of folks here are The Comic Book Guy incarnate.
Look, I loved Babylon 5. I even liked season 5, and consider the hate it gets to be typical mobthink (notice how other fans always append "except season five" like a mantra). I also know that this is all a matter of personal taste, but your review here is filled with hyperbole.
Porn? A handful of sexually charged scenes is not porn. What are you, an evangelical?
The camera work lends a nice feel to the space shots. I dunno, man, it's called artistry and creativity. Should BG be a static 3 camera set piece like a sitcom?
And "better scripting on daytime soaps" is where you completely lose it.
Seriously, something else has to be at the core of your hate here. Are you a big fan of the original series? Are you a Cylon? What?
Once they save New York City, where will they go that will keep our attention?
Where do the uncounted thousands of superhero comic books go? I mean, geez, it isn't like there's no existing ideas to adapt. And the show's writers seem clever enough. I'm sure they have some ideas.
Maybe they could go fight the strange forces on Lost Island.:)
And I liked the second season of Twin Peaks. Windom Earle was a great villian.
...you don't sign economy raping agreements to solve technical and scientific problems. You keep your economy healthy so that money is available for research like this, be it private grants, or government grants (which come from taxes which come from private profit).
This story reminds me of the classic tale, legend or not, of NASA engineers spending millions of dollars to create a pen that could write in zero gravity.
Actually #12 was fun. The Gambit system was a hoot. All RPGs should let you program your other characters like robots. Eventually you could refine and optimize your gambit scripts until you barely had to take an active part anymore. As contradictory as this may sound, that was sort of cool.
Well, no, that's what the bussiness people want everyone to think so they seem manly and big penisy, especially the female executives.
You use military leadership to kill people and break things. You use business leadership to inspire and build.
So there is no excuse to be a perpetual fucktard asshat toward employees. That's not genius or leadership, that's mental illness, social immaturity and simple jackassery.
It continues because *some* people excuse it, and because too many people get their philosophy from business Book Of The Month clubs.
Would you rather your leader be an asshole so you're always sharp and prepared for any opportunity, or be dead (i.e. fired, out of job, bankrupt).
No, wait, depending on the timing, that suggestion would get you killed.
Seeing as the shootings were all indoors, not really.
You could always go somewhere you'll be beaten to death by a mob for some preceived slight against whatever holy cows they have. Just for some perspective, mind you.

And that's --->ALL--- that matters in the end.
Hey! Those racing games need something new. All that driving around gets boring!
And other than Zelda and Link, don't all the games have different casts? Was Midna not a radically different sidekick?
To summarize: Aaaaah, shaddap!

The uber-archetype of all conspiracy theories has been raised on Slashdot, the home of geekdom's Tinfoil Hat Brigade.
Run! Escape before the whole mess collapses into a conspiracy singularity!

Welcome to the desert of the real, Neo.
Good, now just go back to blowin shit up, dammit!

Or that they are starting now. I know folks on the JWST. They got the contract a while ago. This is seriously old news.

Long answer: God damn it, yes.
I'd be bloody surprised too if my browser read me my rights and cuffed me.
And some folks would pay good money for that.
I guess that's Web 3.0

Legend. Snopes
Final Fantasy is terrible.
Not the point. They were successful.
And summons were for pussies anyway. :)

Has any movie based off a video game not been basically a big F.U. to the original material?
Pokemon? :)
Garaunteed Failure.
Yeah! I mean, look at how cut scenes brought down that nickel and dime Final Fantasy franchise.
Maybe it's just me
Wait, are you suggesting your opinion is not a universal absolute? The deuce you say!
Dark matter?
Doing business is a war, no more or no less.

Speaking personally, I avoid false dichotomies.
Some people use this as a way to gauge the competency of the presenter.
Or he could just be an asshole.
"Get it into production immediately."

Uh, those are letters. They are only words when they are, like, stuck together.
I hope this helps.
I don't like my neighboor, maybe I should report him and have the men with the black bags take him awawy...
If you do, could you post the results and maybe a FAQ? I have some annoying neighbors, too.
Sorry, but Congress passed a law in 2005 stating that anyone who enters Furry-*anything* deserves whatever happens to them.
It's a fucking game,
And it's barely that. :)
No, wait, depending on the timing, that suggestion would get you killed.

No.
Is this stuff really that hard to figure out?
