Seriously...is there any other film franchise out there that blatantly squeezes more money out of its fans? I myself am not a real Star Wars fan, but even I'm disgusted at the constant re-releases / special editions / extra special editions with 23 extra seconds of never before seen footage. The VHS/DVD/BluRay upgrade cycle for the exact same movie is bad enough. I mean, I know the fans who keep buying into this shit are the ultimate ones to blame...but who do you hate more...the crackhead or the asshole dealer that will do anything to enable and string out the addict until there's nothing left?

Funny thing is, I would be happier if it concerned itself less with my current emotional state and more ensuring it just worked as it should. Considering the complexity of emotions and how differently people react to said emotions, I can't see how this could be implemented to anyone's satisfaction

Do not want!

Here Here! I started cooking after the beginning of my marriage, and all I had was a four inch Ikea knife and an old cast iron skillet. I made some of the best meals I've ever made. Now almost five years later, with much nicer knives and cooking supplies, I can make the same meals much quicker, but only increased experience makes them any better.

Pfft...real techs go to the source and scan the retinas

Quick...someone zoom in on the reflections in the monitor and enhance!

Getting away from the cable companies in America is already pretty easy - between netflix and hulu, you're pretty much covered. Unfortunately, these services are only available in the US. Netflix apparently is coming to Canada, but without the streaming service, which is all I really want from them.

Unless of course, they don't pay for cable. A lot of people, myself included, are tired of the cable companies bundling/pricing schemes. I only watch 4-5 shows every season...why should I pay for the hundreds I have no interest watching? I for one love the idea of renting shows online. I think the pricing is still too high, but it's a step in the right direction. Finally some real competition in TV offerings. Maybe this will force cable companies to offer plans that favour the consumer rather than the provider.

So yeah, he was completely unprofessional, and could have hurt the ground crew...but 7 years prison potentially? That seems a bit much.

Who feels that is their right these days? I've never heard someone say "it's my right to drink and drive".

Actually, the opposite is usually true. Here in BC the legal limit will be dropping from .08 to .05 soon. Just try arguing against that. If you do, you're immediately regarded as an advocate for drinking and driving, rather than an advocate for moderation. Even if the subject is brought up among my friends, all of whom enjoy their beer, there's little to no indignation on their part, or a feeling that their rights are being taken away. The consensus is "well, guess we shouldn't be drinking and driving anyways." Never mind that the new limit will only punish moderates rather than the truly incapacitated that were already targeted under the previous limit.

In the end, I don't really care either - I'm just a little miffed MADD continues to push the laws towards their prohibitionist ideals and there's nothing you can do about it without looking like a drunk.
