They are different guys. The security chief is Jay LeGualia Jango Fett is Temuera Morrison from once we were warriors they are both Maori though (New Zealand natives)
I had a thought when I was watching it. I reckon Dooku will end up being Annikins father. That would be a surprise (to everyone who does not read this or forgets by episode III) and we could dispose of the crappy midiclorians. If this happens I think i will get this comment framed:)
I just got home from watching it and I must say it really is quite good. One problem that Ihad though is that a lot of the minor characters ("uncle" owen, his father, amidalas security chief etc) are Australian tv actors, and it is a bit distracting. amidalas security chief specifically has been in an Australian childrens program called Play School so i kept imagining him singing the wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round.... otherwise,great
Im sorry but I dont thnk the concept is interesting at all. You can draw very strong comparisons between this and all kinds of Art-house film competitions. Both industries are comercialised up the ying-yang and for the most part bereft of any originalty. You can pidgeonhole most movies (action,romance,comedy...etc) and games(rpg,fps...etc) and this is a natural byproduct of the cookie cutter,make another game with slightly better graphics.
Personnally i would really like for there to be no need for this kind of thing.
bit of both by now actually. you have no idea how many people get the urge to correct my "spelling mistake" even though it really isnt one. I guess i leave it there against popular opinion because "spelling mistakes" attract attention
I dont really know about that. I mean westernern really only made huge advances in the last 150 to 200 years. there are only superficial differences technology wise between 15th and 18th century england. So maybe an eastern culture would have begun the similar industrial revolution kind of thing shortly after if westerers did not.
I really dont think there is any racism here. The fact that the book is trying to portray IMHO is that power corrupts and while we have Western Rapacity now there was just as likely going to be Eastern Rapacity. So really there is no racist crap. The idea applies equally to all.
Personnally I see heaps of alarm bells ringing in this. Ill elaborate on a few 1. Return mission:- Im pretty sure this will be really really expensive for very little benefit. 2.Email/Confirm Email:-Why the hell are they putting this on an asteroid 3.Half the sections of the page are "under construction":- If I was spending billions on a rocket i would finnish the web page
Aside from that it is the vibe of it (this is a reference for any australian fans of the castle;) )
Sun is trying to put Solaris features into linux. This strikes me as a very bad move. Why would you improve "competing" products. Now addmitedly it will help them sell more solaris machines but given the open source nature of linux wouldnt this mean the improvements could be relatively ported to intel...effectively shooting themselves in the foot.
You know I was going to put up a long comment on how this is a very nice academic activity but real dangers come from more low tech dangers like cameras, and how we all are a product of how we like to see the world(ie high tech), but a mirror is even lower tech so i guess i am as guilty as everyone else.
I think the best course of action is to expand existing education of children where we tell them not to accept candy from a stranger and not to get into cars with anyone they dont know to include the internet. Equiping the children to identify these people themselves is the only way we can be sure they are safe, they cannot be supervised 24-7.
I am pretty sure that thing wouldnt fit in my pc. hehehe. An idea forms. I could make a scoop in my case much like the bonnet on cars with blowers.YAY...an excuse for case mods.
For example, most people can distinguish between two very similar 24-bit medium greens but not between three or four similar 24-bit dark blues.
If i remember back to biology this is because there are lots of green (Natural) foods but not so many blue ones and we therefore have allocated more cones in our eyes to distinguishing greens than blues. This is why blue m-m's are an affront to nature:)
"Gigacolor", as Matrox likes to call it, is otherwise known as full display of over 1 Billion colors. Before you peg the "Marketing-Hype-O-Meter" too far, believe or not, the human eye can definitely tell the difference between 16 Million and 1 Billion colors
now if I remember correctly there are less than a dozen monitors that can produce this kind of detail(please correct me if I am wrong) and no-one can reallistically tell the difference (once again...please correct me if im wrong).Anyhow i can see something more than 5.2 on the marketing hype-o-meter
This article is a bit like time travel conjecture The media has just latched onto some scientists who (probably very guardedly) admitted that if we could get N5- (subscript 5, - at top) then maybee we could make better rocket fuel. Big if. like maybee if we could travel faster than light blah blah blah. Guys were probably gotten drunk by a journo who needed a "revolutionary exclusive".
Hey this is just another instance of AOL taking after its idol microsoft. As much as I hate to admit microsoft has done good things in bringing computers into every home, we just cant seem to pry the inferior microsoft OS out of them. Here have an OS that will shit itself at every available opportunity...
You know I think this hails the begining of the end for microsoft. No matter how big you are you just cannot indefinately lose hundreds of dollars on consoles. Anyone with any idea of market forces will be able to confirm this. Esspecially when you are trying to "break into" the market and you dont have a wide base of customers like sony do.
Mind you consumers are gaining in the meantime so whos complaining
Firstly accept my humble appologies if you have lost property or been hurt. However from the sound of it this is a bit of a joke. My stereo shook a bit and the guy at the epicenter who didnt notice. IMHO I dont think this should qualify as a/. story.

Whoa....dude....no way...*confused look*
I think you may be right about china and japan but how quickly would near east nations (islamic nations specifically) have filled the gap-so to speak?
you miss the point.
he says just after "Western rapacity"
Perhaps, in the final analysis, human nature is human nature regardless of the cultures
so what he is doing is pointing out that there is a "lie being fed" and therefore you are just agreeeing with what he says.

Turns out, you can't transfer a verisign domain in the last 90 days of registration.
Thats not exactly legal either is it?
I mean say an insurance company said you cant transfer your policy at in the last 90 days.

Hands down best way is to paint it red.Metalic red preferably.

IF we had a moon colony how would a molten core compare to solar cells as an energy source?
Might be worth looking at.
