Intel offers big bucks for black women

Re: Forget true equality

Good news for fans AMD. They can hire all the engineers Intel can't (won't) hire because of diversity concerns.

NASA aborts third attempt at finally settling man-made CO2 debate

Re: NASA's 3rd Attempt Fails to settle CO2 debate...how about Methane n Permafrost melt ??

The basic reason is that there is no one in that situation that can be taxed. Tax on farmers for their cows belching. Taxes on cars. Taxes on small business than cannot afford the "carbon credits" deals the high-priced corporate lawyers facilitate, etc.

Anytime politics is involved... follow the money!

Wookiee! CHEWIE'S BACK in Star Wars Ep VII – blab Hollywood 'sources'

Why I don't want to see Chewbacca...

According to the EU, Chewbacca is dead. Since Episode 7 is supposed to take place 30+ years after RotJ, and Chewie died about 21 years after RotJ, the only acceptable appearance would be as a flashback.

Disney has a choice to make. They can basically do one of 3 things, if they want Star Wars to continue to be successful. One, ignore the EU of Star Wars content and only accept George Lucas films as canonical. Two, Ignore the George Lucas Prequels and only accept EU content and the original Trilogy as canonical. Three, try to reconcile the EU and Prequel content in some fashion. The third option would be the boldest, and most difficult to pull off, but I think in the end would bring back many to the fold. Personally I hope they go with the second option, and RetCon out all the George Lucas fallacies we find in the Prequels. But I know that is just a fantasy in my own mind. :-)

If they follow down the path of the Prequels, and completely ignore or blatantly contradict (Kashyyyk in the Ep. 3 anyone?) the EU they will likely lose much of the remaining support from fans over the age of about 25.

Just my $.02
