Submission + - Lucas Makes More Changes to the Trilogy
Stenchwarrior writes: Many would argue that the original "Star Wars" films were masterpieces when they were first released (the prequels not so much). However George Lucas just can't stop futzing around with his creations.
The billionaire filmmaker's latest change can be seen in the upcoming Blu-ray release of the original trilogy. In the battle between Luke Skywalker and the Emperor in "Return of the Jedi," Lucas has given Darth Vader a new bit of dialogue.

I think you are referring to partial-birth abortions...that's not what I was talking about, but at least you were able to provide your dramatic flair. Bravo!

I'll tell you the same thing I tell those religious fanatics that try to keep women from being able to have abortions: If you're against it, then don't do it!

Judging by the amount of bloat-ware that's been coming with HP computers for the past several years, it would seem they've been practicing for this very moment.
Submission + - Settling Court Case with Quake3
Stenchwarrior writes: Bethesda is suing Mojang over the title of their new game "Scrolls", which closely resembles "Elder Scrolls"...a title in which Bethesda owns the copyright. Markus Persson of Mojang came up with the following solution:
Remember that scene in Game of Thrones where Tyrion chose a trial by battle in the Eyrie? Well, let's do that instead!
I challenge Bethesda to a game of Quake 3. Three of our best warriors against three of your best warriors. We select one level, you select the other, we randomize the order. 20 minute matches, highest total frag count per team across both levels wins.
If we win, you drop the lawsuit.
If you win, we will change the name of Scrolls to something you're fine with.
Now wouldn't that be fun?

A-fracking-men. I'm surprised Apple hasn't done a bit about this, actually. Like, by calling them PE's for Personal Experience, or some such shit.
Off-topic, I know.

I agree with you to a point. I have an iPhone 4, but I wouldn't use it if I didn't know how to jailbreak it. To me, an unlocked iPhone is just a really nice paper-weight. But OTOH, I am a technical person. I can see how the lack of choices would appeal to the masses and thus why the Apple stuffs sell so well. My wife and daughter use a MacBook and absolutely love them. Of course, that was AFTER I hooked it up to my exchange server so they could get email and installed all the other MS products so it was more like their old PC. But whatever. And when something breaks on them they come to me rather than going to the "Genius Bar" (laughable), not because I know anything about them, but because I'm technical and, more importantly, tenacious enough that I bang my head against it long enough to figure it out. Again, not the masses. But that's OK and that's how Apple has made their billions. Clearly there's something out there for everyone.
