These lightsabers are toys. Not real inventions.

The concept of this non-functioning object is taken from the movie....

Helicopters, communication devices, and other thought of ideas became inventions that could not really be disputed. It's because those inventions were a concept the -author could not make- into reality

I'm pretty sure george lucas could have financed and made the same/similar toys if he felt like it.

Now I'm not saying that i agree with this action. Consider it like this: you have to pay the owner of the "Gundam" name in order to call a humanoid robot machine a "Gundam" the same probably is going to be argued with these lightsaber toys.

As stated in the article, the company has made similar devices before. Only this time it was intended to look like a lightsaber.

Don't they still have loads of pop-ups on those websites?
If i recall correctly, all of the major web browsers by the time IE7 came out had anti-pop-up software in them.
It wasn't that those advertisers decided not to send them anymore. It's that they lost the ability.

just my 2 cents... correct me if im wrong.

<quote><p>Gnome and KDE were imperfect Desktop environments so that F/OSS unix could have one. Now that we are getting a good one at long last (Android). Why stick with the old an obselete?</p></quote>

What can i do in android that i cant do in gnome?
What can the windows gui do that i cant do in gnome?
What can the mac gui do that i cant do in gnome?

Just because an environment is simplistic doesn't mean it sucks. I prefer gnome over kde because it focuses less on eye-candy and more usability.

I prefer gnome over windows because it doesn't try to compress my programs menu.

Also who are you to say that android is a perfect environment? Why do they constantly come out with new updates?

finally android was made for a touchscreen environment, not a point and click one.

So mammals evolved from these special birds? these birds are in the group that is known for their intelligence. Other birds do not share these characteristics apparently.

by applying this logic i should assume that all creatures with mammalian-like eyes originates from octopuses, because their kind is more archeic and their eye-structure is very similar (though it is accepted that the eyes developed separately with no relation mammals)

"When software developers screw up, they don't leave a billion barrels of their product on the shores of Louisiana."

when software developers screw up. people from the wild arise and exploit it leaving thousands or millions (depending on software or even OS) gwt infected and/or damaged.

its one thing when are you cursing to a public person (police, politician)

its another thing when you are disturbing the peace

but its also different in a private area.... period

intel's linux drivers suck dead, half-rotten, year old horseballs

ATI's graphics drivers are at least tolerable.... heck i cant do a dual monitor without PERMANENTLY BREAKING my intel graphics card driver!... yes this has happened to me while using ubuntu jaunty and why I'm never getting a laptop without nvidia or ATI cards.

(yes a re-install of ubuntu worked)

what nonsense are you talking about? everyone knows that raw money (lots of $100 bills) is the cure to aids! just ask Magic Johnson!

because i have 0 facebook friends.

making publicly funded non-military research has nothing to do with privacy. Public money is spent for the public good and there is no good justifiable reason to keep it hidden from the public... especially if its meant for the betterment of society.

if you want your data to be private, get your own privately funded money

but how much did it cost?

it didnt say that in TFA

Good luck keeping your good eye-sight

is this deodorant reducing stench by adding an odor, or does it kill the bacteria that is decomposing the waste? or both?

actually its a win- lose situation

because if you tap the methane, you make less greenhouse and have energy for practical use, while if you ignore it, it will evaporate into the atmosphere and you lose a good energy source.

-they ban sugar in jam
- they ban sugar in all foods that need to be sweet by nature.(like jam)
- ban sugar in sodas
- ban flavoring in foods
- ban iodine in salt (its IS bad in high dosages!)
- ban certain plants that might have a little too much fatty acids
- ban eggs
- ban milk

the list goes on. but everybody knows this is totally absurd. this is not like smoking where the user is damaging the people around him. people come to restaurants in expectation of these ingredients. if they dont want salt, they should tell the chef or waiter that they want no salt.

worst of all, this assemblyman wrote the bill BEFORE even researching the effects of salt.
