So how do they do this?

Lately on one of my accounts, I've been getting a whole bunch of spam that isn't even addressed to me!! The addresses in the TO: field are always completely unrelated to me in any way whatsoever.

Anyone know why I'm getting email that isn't addressed to me? Seems pretty strange to me..

You are on the Blind Carbon Copy list (Bcc).
Nothing magical.

It is how you send e-mails to lots of people without the people seeing how you are sending it too.

It is actually for preventing spam! As well as protecting privacy.

That is because George Lucas never did the choreography.
And except for Mark Hamill as Luke in the original three movies,Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen and the guy who played Darth Maul, every other actor has either been too old/out of shape to do that kind of stuff or in some big black cape with a chest box.

I mean, sure they could abuse stunt doubled, but too much and it becomes obvious.

They could of possibly did some really good stuff in the last movie with Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, but stupid ole’ George just wanted to use that Lava…ya know, the same ole Cliché crap that game developers have been getting ridiculed for using since the year 2000 and on?

Way to stick to your guns Matt and Trey. All the Christian and Jew bashing that has been done on that show and Isaac Hayes quits over one episode on Scientology? Get over yourself dude.

Wait, I'm supposed to believe some fan video has better choreography than the work Nick Dillard did in the Star Wars movies? That guy is awesome.

It is really good. Kudos to those who made the video. The "moves" aren't really all that great, but for amateur stage combat and filming it's pretty damn amazing.

I actually thought the last Star Wars film had some good combat scenes. Nothing like Hero, but still worth watching. I've yet to see a movie with swords of any description that at one point or another did NOT make me cringe and go "you can't be serious".

He was on Opie and Anthony about 2 months ago and a caller asked him what he thought of the episode that skewered Scientology (of which he is a member). he had absolutely no problem with it, "Thats just what Matt and Trey Do, if you take it seriously I have a bridge to sell you" was his response (I'm paraphrasing but thats the gist of it). No doubt it's those creepy bastards at Scientology who put pressure on Hayes to quit.

I'm continually amazed at the seemingly intelligent people who beleive in that wacked out religion. (Then ahgain all religion is utterly ridiculous when you look at it under the light of rational thought)

Scientology goes much further than the other religions though and actually says a lot that's directly contradictory to known scientific theory. I don't know of any other religion (of its size or larger) that does that.

Most religions place a great deal of emphasis on faith and belief, and those are inherently outside of science's realm. Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God, but it can certainly disprove a lot of Scientology's crap.

I mean, if you read any of L. Ron Hubbard's SF novels then you know he's got some really, really strange ideas.

If you look at any of the Scientology crap then you know he was completely fucking loony. Just check out Operation Clambake (http://www.xenu.net/) for info.

Just like the episode on Mormon's, I had no idea how utterly and completely insane Scientology was until Southpark did the episode on it.

Who needs a comparative religion class when you have "dumb dumb dumb dumb dumb" and "so then, the EVIL LORD XENU prepared his soul-catchers in the sky, and collected all the alien souls, so he could brain wash them and send them to the Earth."

It's pretty amazing when you make a dedicated agnostic like me think "well, you compared to this Christianity, Judaism, or Islam makes a lot of sense!"


EDIT: Oh WOW! That lightsaber video is great! Does anyone know if there is a higher resolution version around?

Best lightsaber duel ever?!?!??!

I take it no one here has seen "Sky's Day Off":

Just to make a final post on this -- I finally resolved the issue with the undeletable files on my XP install (the files would not delete, not from safe mode, not while logged in as Admin, no way, no how -- go back 2 Saturdays if you want the full skinny).

I wound up using a bootable Linux CD called Trinity that has captive-ntfs support (scans your drives looking for the NTFS drivers and loads them, allowing read/write access). It still took me a lot of reboots and far too much time, but it's done now. And yeah, it might've been faster to just reinstall the entire system, but it would've been close. And this way I've found another tool to use for when things get fucked up.

In any case, the 60GB that were being eaten by this directory tree are usable again. Yay!

Glad it worked out, Z!

Yeesh, what a nightmare. Are you going to continue using that drive?

I leave for Atlanta on Thursday, my flight arrives at 6pm. Email me sometime at my gmail account (same as my name here) and I'll give you my work email so we can figure out a lunch or something while I'm down there.

The weather had better be nice or I'm going to be upset

The drive is fine... it's just XP that's fucked in the head.

Sent you email.

Highs in the mid to 50s to 60s. Lows in the mid 30s to mid 40s. So it should be like summer to you

And looking at the pollen levels, I see we've already reached the "extremely high" category. Heh. Definitely not a good place for people with pollen allergies.

I'm continually amazed at the seemingly intelligent people who beleive in that wacked out religion. (Then ahgain all religion is utterly ridiculous when you look at it under the light of rational thought)

It was a hard mindset for me to shed, that the major mainstream religions were somehow more rational than the cults (I used to be religious). Typically I would think: Become a god and own your own planet after you die? Man, those Mormons are messed up. Or whatever for the various mainstream religions. But really, compared to: God has no choice but to condemn everybody to hell, newborn babies, all the Jews, lost Jungle people in the deepest reaches of the Amazon, it doesn't matter. They're going to hell and burn in a lake of fire for all eternity unless they bathe themselves in the blessed warm and steaming blood of Jesus. Sure, God is all powerful and he loves everybody, there's nothing he can't do since he's the one who created the universe. Oh, except keep people from going to hell.

So next time I think, man those Jehovah's Witnesses are whacked, or those Hari Krishnas have a seriously messed up theology--I have to force myself to remember they're no worse than any other religion. I judge a religion's goodness or badness solely on how much it keeps out of my face.

God has no choice but to condemn everybody to hell, newborn babies

You realize that not all Christian sects believe this, right? Take a look at Presbyterian or Methodist churches for example.

What you're quoting sounds more like hardcore Southern Baptist or various evangelical sects. Even Catholicism has backed away from such tautology.

I judge a religion's goodness or badness solely on how much it keeps out of my face.

That I can certainly buy into. And, oddly, those are also the ones that seem to be the most "rational" about things.


Edit: Brain fart on protestant sect names.

Most of you know about a Kraft product called "Easy Cheese", the stuff in a can that's yummy on crackers (and yes, I know there's really not much that's "cheese" in the product; that's another discussion for another day). When this stuff came out in the '70's (at least that's when I think it came out), I could swear it was called something else besides "Easy Cheese", but I can't remember what it was (a classic symptom of being an old fart). Do any of you remember something like that, or am I mistaken?

You should always go to people's funerals. Otherwise, when you die, they won't go to yours.
