  Re: Age limitations
 
(...) More flamebait *grin*: Of course, in the US, we pour a lot of money into our car-oriented system (Look at the Big Dig in Boston, for example) effectively using public subsidies to undercut public transportation. No wonder most Americans prefer (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

  Re: Star Wars on DVD
 
(...) Oh-so-true. I have enough music right now to last over 40 straight hours of music, and that's not counting the CDs I had before (but I don't listen to them so much anymore). Of course I hear much more than 40 hours straight at a time, with (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

(...) gobbledegook (...) Let's not go down the tiresome "anti-monopoly tirade" route again, shall we? Been there, done that, got the tee shirt. MP3 will lower CD prices a lot better than any smelly old government lawsuit anyway... oh, and by the (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
 
  Re: Star Wars on DVD
 
(...) Considering that actuall cost (including packaging etc.) is less than one tenth of a cent per "brick" when produced in the quanities TLG does, I disagree. It would probably be even less if it wern't for the high quality and tolerence levels (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

As an (originally) polish Jew, who's grandparents were all afflicted by the Holocaust, I'm slightly offended by that statement (two posts ago). Not offended by Greg - just by the (...)
