Thanks for showing me what true cleverness is.

Personally, I'm holding out for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Imax YouTube Remix Extreme Deluxe Collectors Limited Edition. (But only after the first patch is released, because we all know that first versions suck.)

I had no idea I had to wait until Monday to start shopping online. I'm glad this Slashdot story showed up or else I might have just gone on buying stuff today and tomorrow and missed out on my chance to contribute to some meaningless statistics!

Boy.. I hope they don't cut funding for the stargate program... who would stop all the alien attacks?

Actually, I think it's pretty funny how much some people think he's already done - he doesn't have the power to do anything yet! Oh the insanity....

Bingo!

Note to others: The above comment is evidence that not all management types are clueless authoritarian blowhards. You can have a better life and a better boss if you look for it.

Sadly, I think point (b) is a significant cause of point (a) in the first place. :/

Whoa there... he hasn't done anything yet. He isn't even the president! His people are just gathering information. Calm down... Geesh.

Ugh. I've seen this comment (more or less) all over this thread and I just have to say: Why are so many of you living with such FEAR of your management? It can't be healthy! Lighten up, people! How can you even work for your management if you can't even think of them as *humans* who might like a joke as much as the next guy? Geesh. </rant>

... and I have... :)

As long as it's not some insanely time consuming thing that causes bugs or complexity in the "public" parts of the program, I don't see a problem with it. Gotta blow off steam somehow...

It was probably replicated...

You're missing out on what makes Firefly shine if you stopped watching before the end of Train Job (assuming you watched in network TV order rather than the intended order - as the real pilot wasn't aired first and the Train Job episode was literally written last minute to appease clueless network execs). They even explain (perhaps a bit indirectly) why a lot of that western-ish feel is there on the border planets. Within it's own universe, it makes sense. There's also the heavy Chinese cultural influences all over as well - but if you didn't even finish the first episode, you probably didn't get to that stuff. Bummer.

Did you miss the obvious Anakin Skywalker moment at the very start of the new trailer? I suspect that's what the OP was actually referring to with that quip.. :)

A dog wouldn't die like that - they have their priorities straight. :P

That's what I did. A lot of people around here that I know did the same thing. Will be interesting to see what happens tonight.
