Quick - get insurance now. And some protection.. fire, thieves, etc.

Probably someone didn't realize they were still running the cameras. Given that each of the movies ended up being over budget, they had to wrap up things fairly quickly. They took whatever shots they could and used them, cut them in as necessary. I remember the whole "ewok falling down" bit was actually just the actor helping his fellow out after the scene was supposedly over.

See the front page news for the Halflife 2 one

He goes for humor and entertainment, I wouldn't be surprised if this were a fraud. At least the money goes to charity, so no harm done.

Sounds like you're talking about the concept of the Journal of the Whills? Pretty much that the whole Star Wars saga was given to us by this journal that Lucas happened to have found. Sadly this big of SW history isn't really mentioned

Trust me, just start somewhere. So what if there's a whole lot of stuff.. just take it in small bits. Each novel, each comic book, each video game is just a small window into the Star Wars universe. There are posts everyday on StarWars.com that ask "Where should I start?" I personally recommend Zahn's "Heir to the Empire" trilogy. I really haven't met anyone that would dislike it. Truly is the start for the Expanded Universe novels and attempting to bring some continuity to all the products that follow.

The new Zahn book, Allegiance, does say that the Empire had to fill its troopers with recruits, as the clones lines were dying out.

Bourne Ultimatum.. I've heard good things about it. I liked the first Bourne movies, as much as I can expect from them. A lot of action of course... really no plot that matches the original Bourne books by Robert Ludlum. The books are amazing compared to the movies. Opinions on Minority Report, decent movie.. I don't like Tom Cruise myself. But I have to give it to Spielberg for making an adaptation of a scifi classic.

I don't think there's a backup function that is turned on automatically. There is the System Restore, which is usually set to max of some percentage of the hard drive space.. (12% in XP I think). I have to question why it would take 1 GB though.. per day. Is it still continuing to happen?

http://www.commandandconquer.com/swf/CCTV.html A mod SDK, interview with Joe Kucan (he is awesome!), play-by-play Battlecast game replay, and the announcement of Kane's Wrath expansion Just the attention in this TV webcast, it seems that they really care for the community. I hope its really a sucessful game.

Why not respect everyone? They are fellow gamers.. they should be respected unless they do something to loss that respect. A clan, of course, should stick together .. but there is no harm in treating others with an equal level of respect. That makes your clan even more likeable and extends a certain professionalism to the gaming community as a whole.

What?? I don't get your argument: if people continue to make new things, it will get boring. Well what if people don't add anything: it gets boring! I'm a big fan of the Expanded Universe. Its a lot of fun, there's always something different that is happening. Why do the movie canon purists try and take the fun away from those Star Wars fans who want more? Star Wars isn't about nitpicking on the quality of authors and writing. Its about imagination and finding yourself lost in a universe that can be just as "real" as you want it to be. Anyone can find a character to relate to in the Star Wars universe. If its not the "die hard" SW fans that supports it, who will? Many of the novels become New York Times best sellers. There is a high interest in many SW arenas... comic books, video games, roleplaying, etc. If anything, Star Wars is more alive because of them. As long as there is an audience, there will be Star Wars material. Sure it isn't all to the same standard of quality, but what is?? Why not try it anyway and see if you like it? I dislike the NJO-haters that tried to slam it, before actually reading it themselves. What is it about something new that scares people? It isn't going to suddenly make their precious Star Wars "canon-ness" into anything less. In fact, the movies will always trump over other materials. So take from Star Wars what you will. If you don't like something, fine... but don't try to take away from others who actually do enjoy the new stuff that comes from the Expanded Universe.

It's a monstrous cross of a Star Destroyer and a Corellian Corvette! Man the Corellians finally got something on steroids...

I've only been using Vista for about a week or so. I've not tracked my usage, but no where am I taking so much space at once. My guess is Vista does a lot of background indexing to speed up searches. That's where the disk space might be going, but 1 GB per day? I use a program called JDiskReport to see where all the clutter is on my drives. Very handy. If you notice anything rather large, it could be Vista's storing it own data, doing backups, etc.

Indeed, Mad78 is at the top with 7010. Trejiuvanat following at 5117, Jahled close at 5010. Not too far is Scathane at 4897, followed by the_mask at 4292. (I feel like I'm calling a horse race hehe)

I don't think anyone was being hard on it, except maybe budious's first post

I agree - it was a good game that, once again, got saddled by bad controls. A real 3D environment, unique gameplay for each side, no traditional resourcing - rather command points (Dawn of War wasn't the first in this), and a great storyline/music SW environment. It felt like a real Star Wars ground RTS... not a mod of AoE like Galactic Battlegrounds nor a 'throw-canon out the window' mix of RTS games. If only the engine was optimized (for its time) and the mouse controls refined like Homeworld, it would have received a better status.

CDex should be able to batch convert MP3 to WAV, easy enough program from what I remember

Saw this on the Yahoo news .. so I liked it and linked to the original video Very cool

Maybe he had them, but didn't have the fuel or the parts necessary to run them. After 20 years, the "R2 repulsor mod kit" may not be available anymore

mmmm from Blizzard http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon07/images/merch1.jpg http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon07/images/merch2.jpg http://www.blizzard.com/blizzcon07/images/merch3.jpg I think they're only available in posters.. but if anyone has the image source, that'd be cool

Couldn't resist using this one... http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/9632/poster32429155ip1.th.jpg
