... he still made star wars, and therefore still deserves your admiration
Fuck you, fuck George Lucas, and fuck Jar Jar Binks. The best one of the original trilogy (Empire) was the best one because it wasn't directed by George Lucas.
I like the font and the uniforms used by Nazi Germany (and fuck them, too). That doesn't mean they deserve my admiration.
Blargh. HTML fail. Not enough caffeine yet. heh That SHOULD have read: ZOMGMUSTHAVETHENEW (insert the name of boy band here) or ZOMGMUSTSEETHENEW (insert name of piece of shit summer blockbuster here).
Is it a philosophical position against absolute truth?
Just remember that the last group of people who came across spouting "absolute truth" started burning people at the stake for witchcraft because they were born left-handed.
"Do you believe in god?" "No." *poof* dead.
"Do you believe in god?" "Yes." "Do you believe in MY god?" "No."
I dunno. They seem to be painting themselves into a corner.
On the one hand, they can make it where no one can be a Jedi (and who wants to play Star Wars where you CANT be a Jedi?), or they can make it where you can play Jedi (and who wants to play those other classes when you can be a ZOMGuberJediNinjaGankingn00bs)
I forsee bad things happening with this game either way they go.
This is definitely the case for me. I'll download an mp3 or two, and if I like them, I'll go out and buy their album (normally directly from the band if Im able to), and go to their shows if they play locally, buy their merchandise, etc.
I've discovered a lot of great music from filesharing, that I wouldn't have been exposed to otherwise, and went on to buy their stuff.
For fucks sake, we just cant win, can we? Citys are bad! The Wilderness is bad! Global Warming! Global Cooling! Magnetic reversal of the poles! Cellphones that lead to brain cancer!
I remember being a Time Warner cable subscriber here in L.A. a couple years back. Once they started offering faster internet connections as part of their overall cable packages, I ditched the digital cable, as I could get those shows streamed. I imagine a lot of people were doing the same thing.
Anyone know how the new beta compares (in terms of speed, etc.) to Server 2008? I ask, because some people used Server 2008's "Desktop Experience" thing as a replacement for Vista, and says it runs a lot better.

Anecdotal evidence is anecdotal.

What a smokescreen. "Here, people! Let us keep tabs on you, in case of an emergency ... for your own good."

Yeah. Hit the bully in the mouth who has a knife, or a gun. See how well that works out.
... until there's a schism that causes a fork. :P
I dunno. It's a tossup between him and Ann Rice for the shittiest successful author award.

Philosophically, you're spot on. But try telling this to the millions of teenyboppers that ZOMGMUSTHAVETHENEW , or ZOMGMUSTSEETHENEW .

Live in a crappy neighborhood makes for crappy moods? Lemme be the first to tell the CDC: DUUUH!
no executive is going to wantonly commit federal fraud
Do the letters "A", "I", and "G" mean anything to you?

Not to be inflammatory, but what a crock of shit.

Chill out, people.
But, people on Segways are worth 50 points!
We do not have to , global warming is not proven.
It's rather well established by now.
Kinda like how the "earth is flat" idea was rather well established for centuries?
