Quote:"The Battle of Hoth is a huge blast of spectacle and action to kick-start the movie, and it was an absolute joy to bring this vast battle to life in LEGO," says Jonathan Smith, director at TT Games Publishing. "The AT-ATs had a massive impact on me when I first saw the film as a child, and their existing LEGO toy models - as well as the AT-STs and of course the snowspeeder - are just so cool. We had a lot of fun creating a Hoth battlefield for two players to zoom around on simultaneously, and we're really proud of the storytelling sequences too."
Having only fought this battle in videogames approximately five thousand times before, I say it's high time for it to finally get the attention it deserves...
Read this! Pathetic lowlife A pretends to be an authority figure over the phone to get a manager at some fast food restaurant to strip search an employee.
Pathetic lowlife B is the manager who actually decided to believe someone on the sheer basis that they claimed to be an authority figure, no need for evidence (I mean hey, if they ARE an authority figure, they don't need to provide evidence, or some idoitic "logic" like that).
Pathetic lowlife C is the rest of the employees who didn't do anything out of fear of defying the manager.
Even the victim of this showed signs of being too complient for her own good.
This is a natural part of the human psyche, but another part of our psychology is the ability to override this when we take the time to think about the situation. Just because we ARE this weak doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop being like this. I wear glasses because I refused to accept my genetic limitations.
In other words, people are idiots but they don't have to be. This reflects badly on the entire species.
This is the continuing saga of caption Jack Sparrow's adventures. We find old Jack in trouble again, this time with Davy Jones himself. The movie is full of fun action sequences, hilarious wtf moments, and a twist end that will leave you screaming for more. This story has a plot line worty of a episode of Buffy written by Josh Weaton, it will make you want to grab a cigarette break and come back for more. 5 out of 5
Special Effects:
The effects in this movie were absolutely incredible, with CGI in abundance with virtually seamless integration. Never have I seen special make up effects so well done. On the flip side the script called for some corny effects which kind of subtracted from the experience but were funny none the less. 4 out of 5
Acting:
Acting was top notch, especially with captain Jack's big scene at the end. Working with such suficticated effects can't be easy either so I'm awarding bonus points for that. 5 out of 5

You've stated your concern over the relatively slow development of battery tech relative to microprocessor development. Well, here's a pretty in depth explanation of battery technology and why it isn't really anything like a microprocessor (ie, you can't just bump the power by packing in more circuits). On another note, microprocessors are pretty much not the norm for technological advancement, they are more of the exception, but one that has spoiled the average consumer to the point where anything that doesn't double in 5 years is seen as "developing far too slowly".
Thought this was interesting. I guess if this went meltdown it would be a natural disaster. More interesting is a completely unregulated nuclear reaction close to ground water running for a few million years managed to not contaminate anything.
