This was not a BAD movie; it just wasn't the movie it could have been. And honestly, you'll never please the fan-boys anyway.
I thought PJ hit it out of the park with the LotR trilogy for fans and uninitiated alike.
nothing will get people's attention like a 2nd amendment deterrent...
You carry a gun to deter distracted drivers? How's that working out for you?
officials accused of abusing their authority should be considered guilty until proven innocent!
I'm not sure if this was intentional, but that's probably every government official.
Throughout all of history.
These days, you can pretty much skip nethack...
You can skip any video game. Nethack can be quite fun and is nearly always a bit surprising. Don't play games because they're "important."
So they are cowards who were dumb enough to think this wasn't genuinely dangerous?
You have a very strange definition of 'coward.' I'm guessing they're more concerned with the delays this will pile onto the already delayed commercial flights.
Up until now, they had no idea that a rocket could like, you know, explode?
It didn't explode.
They lost rights to everything they came up with
see, here you're missing "while employed there"
in perpetuity as a standard contract of their employment. I view such heavy handed contracts quite dimly as a result of unbalanced employment negotiation.
Buy a computer because you like the shape of the case. It's how you guarantee quality.
I love my wife too much to put this thing in our home.
Linux is free because it is open source, but that can have its own associated restrictions (associated with the time input required to it to a certain level of functionality, depending on your Linux expertise.)
Reductio ad absurdum.
The difference between your XPS is the Black Macbook is that the guy was still using the macbook for daily tasks. Your XPS is probably on a shelf somewhere.
I guess my comment was a bit misleading in one way: I don't think Macbooks are necessarily a bad value or were a bad value circa 2006. But let me clarify:
1) My 2006 Dell XPS M1210 is my daily driver. It started life with XP and has exclusively run Ubuntu the last 3 years.
2) I had to replace the power adapter and disc drive under warranty, and upgraded from the original 80GB hard drive to a 500GB hard drive three or four years ago.
3) Otherwise, I can't remember replacing anything on it. The rubber feet on the bottom have fallen off and the left-click button on the trackpad is mushy. I'm convinced it's just some crumbs in the cracks, but I'm too lazy to fix it and have been content to just tap the touchpad to click.
4) I'm still using the original 9-cell battery it shipped with. The 6-cell I bought at the same time died, but the 9-cell is still barely usable, providing maybe 40 minutes' usage. Not great but not bad for 8 years old.
5) Again--I'm not trying to say that Macbooks are a bad buy, but my wife's 2007 15" Macbook has had far more expensive problems (to be fair, it's still with us too).
A better idea is to tax wealth. That will encourage people to spend, and drive the economy forward.
Which will ensure the lower and middle class are never able to save up for a house, car, or other investment. Because savings will automatically dwindle by virtue of being there.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
