Re: Press award ceremony not open to the press
So why is it the only sites I can find "corroborating" this tidbit are questionable blogs and obvious right-winger sites? :roll: Even if the given source is correct, I fail to see the big deal. Barring the press from a press-initiated event brought on by promises of openness towards the p...

Re: Clone Wars series (SPOILERS)
Wow. that was an unusually..... dark season finale. Chalk another win up for the bad guys. Indeed. I'm always a bit surprised by the level of violence that the show's producers are willing to include; I guess I'm just not used to that sort of thing from Cartoon Network, particularly considering the...

Re: [discussion]None of the above
It is entirely possible that upon careful reflection, regardless of the size of the pool of senatorial nominees, a sitting senator may decide that none are adequately qualified. I see no reason why a "No" option should not be included for such a circumstance. Please note that I'm speaking ...

Re: President Obama's Inaugural Address
Personally, I cringed when I heard that part of the benediction. Not because of what he said, but the fact that he had to bring such distinct race mentioning into his speech. To be quite honest, I didn't have any problem with the benediction. As sensitive a subject as it is, racial division is stil...

Re: [VOTE] Chancellor
52 active senators? My, how we've grown. It seems like only yesterday that this august body was operating out of a second floor apartment and the payroll list was kept on the back of a Applebee's napkin.

Re: Highlights of the EU
You've already read some of the best, particularly the Zahn stuff and Dark Lord . There are a few parts of the New Jedi Order I found quite memorable ( Star By Star and Traitor particularly), but there are some less than stellar books in the series, as well; I'd recommend it in its entirety, for all...

Re: Force-based technology
"Path of Destruction" describes some kind of safe that could only be opened with TK - Bane pressed the "open" button with his hand and nothing happened. When he pressed it with the Force, it opened. Mara Jade also incorporated a similar technology into the hatch of one of her pe...

Re: Best Pokemon variety
Its been quite a while since I played Ruby, but I don't remember variety being a bitch. I remember their not being enough trainers to effectively keep a team of 6 leveled up, and Gym Leaders having a 10+ level advantage on me. Which was the biggest complaint of the game to me and why I never finish...

Re: Best Pokemon variety
I've always thought that the game series hit its height with Crystal, both in terms of gameplay and the Pokemon available. A selection of around 250 seemed to work quite well. There was a lot of variety in each of the types without too many blatant derivatives, there wasn't a pointless multitude of ...

Bill Richardson Turns Down Commerce Secretary Nomination
CNN (CNN) -- New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson is withdrawing his nomination to be commerce secretary, citing the distraction of a federal investigation into ties to a company that has done business with his state. Gov. Bill Richardson said a probe focused on him would delay work toward bettering the...

Re: Imperial Atrocities
This is the point: was this possible? Was possible quarantine the place before anyone briged the bacterium outside? Probably, yes. Did cures existed for that bacterium? We don't know. That is generally the point of (defensive) bioweapons research. Not to mention that you need cures for the biologic...

Re: Robot Chicken Star Wars Ep 2
I think the first episode was, overall, superior, but this one had its moments, too. Anakin and the younglings was surprisingly morbid, although I suppose not really beyond the pale for Robot Chicken. The last full sketch really got me, too, and the post-credit sequence was great. Probably a bit too...

Re: [discussion]Is my degree better than yours
I will admit, I haven't had the time to monitor the board much of late, but from what I've seen, the level of discourse here, at least in some sectors, has taken a rather ugly turn. Discussions on subjects near and dear to certain posters are bound to yield controversy, but that does not excuse the ...
