It has happened before in football (soccer) games in a similar way, so I'm pretty much sure it was heart failure. Sadly, it can happen at anytime with people that have a heart disorder and son't know it - you could be walking on the street and then BANG, you're history.

Sometimes athletes know about their heart conditions but hide it from everyone so they don't stop being a professional player. It has happened with a soccer player in Brazil who died early this year. He was running on the field, and then he bent down, with his hands on his knees, and then he just collapsed on the ground, dead. With this european player it was even more weird, about 2 years ago, he was simply walking on the field, smiling, and suddenly he just falls to the ground. Bit shocking to watch.

Jor-El's ultimate sacrifice? How could Jor-El's sacrifice anything in SupII when he has already died in SupI with the destruction Kypton?


Reminds me of Orgazmo, it was something like that:

"Death of a Salesman 2? But... didn't he commit suicide at the end?"
"Uh... that's what they want you to think, but he faked his death and is back now to get revenge."
"Wow..."

I would get the time machine. I would go back in time and give myself an almanac, or even better, buy a lottery ticket... The I would go back and never use the time machine again, I'd just live from the money. I would use the time machine just one more time, when I'm an old man, almost dying: I would go back and promote chaos and havock, I'd prevent the Kennedy's assassinations, I would burn the Ed Sulivan theater while the Beatles are performing, I would kill my grandparents where they are just babies, I would kidnap Hitler and bring him to Japan so he could become a Gaijin Samurai, I would destroy the Lumiere brothers film camera... You know, just for fun, and then go back and laugh of the consequences, that is, if the universe don't colapse because of the paradoxes...

So am I, that will be so cool. Can't wait for it, and for Mario Kart DS...

I really wish that Nintendo had brought some other classic games to the DS with some improvements, like Wario's Woods or Yoshi Tetris Atack.

Say, I read that this player had a heart atack or heat stroke or something like that and died after a game... I'm asuming it's a heart problem, which can happen quite often... About four or five football (soccer) players died of sudden heart atacks during games for the past 3 or 4 years (in the whole world)...

I like most Bond movies for different reasons. The whole Sean Connery era for it's seriousness, it's 60s-esque coolness, and the good plots, villains and situations (Goldfinger would be a good example). I like "Diamonds Are Forever" because it has the best Sean Connery acting of them all, it's weird creepiness (it's almost painful to watch at some parts), and Bond calling the bondgirls a "stupid idiot" or something like that.

I like the Roger Moore era for it's absurd goofiness and silliness, specially "Spy who Loved "Me" (favorite Bond incidental soundtrack), and Moonraker (because of it's absolutely steriotyped and hilarious Brazil, and Jaws comeback - also it has my favorite opening stunt sequence).

I like the Timothy Dalton films for it's seriousness and basic plot - it's not THAT different from other Bond flicks if you look at it. I just don't like Dalton's Bond, dosen't feel right.

I like Pierce Brosnan Bond films because it's a good mix of every one, except for Die Another Day, which is crap.

Notice how I didn't mention George Lazemby or whatever its spelled.

Yeah, you can only do that so many times. I really think that's why the series has failed lately. It has become stale. They need something new. Maybe a dark Bond would do that. This is a day and age when dark action is not a bad thing and many recognize that the series is bottoming out. Back when the Dalton Bonds came out, people were still accustomed to the softer Bond that Warbler likes. It was before the series hit the skids. Now that it's firmly entrenched on the skids, I think they can get away with making a change of this magnitude.

Change is good.


Exactly. While some things should be kept (Bond theme music, gunbarrel opening, musical credits), the basic plotline must change. Therefore my suggestion for a Bond movie in which Bond stays in a single place for a single straightfoward mission for the whole movie...

Yeah, there is that scene, but that was a little person in a larger Yoda costume. You can see the guy's legs as he walks on his knees. It doesn't get any more fake than that.


What scene? The "Come! Come!" one?

So what you're saying is that Bond movies should stick to the formula? Like:

• Pre-opening credits sequence with a 8 minute elaborated stunt impossible in real life.
• Small briefing of the villain and the problem he is bringing to the world.
• Bond sees his new gadgets and make humorous commments on those.
• Bond goes to a country in Europe, meets the villain in a bizarre way that envolves either a game or a dare.
• Bond finds Bondgirl. Feels the urge to have sex with her.
• Bond kills some henchmen and finds out about something, some light plot twist about the villain.
• Bond goes to another country in the world, where the villain's lair is. He takes the Bondgirl for some reason.
• Bond goes on a sequence of stunt after stunt, using his previously presented gadgets, destroying the whole thing.
• Bond gets away and makes love to the Bondgirl. The End.

Don't you think it's starting to get old? Or even better, it's getting difficult to find good plotlines to fill up this formula?

I'd install an Oracle database on a UNIX dedicated server and create a J2EE application that access the database through CORBA.



Or... if your budget is lower: use Microsoft Access

Or... if you wanna use good stuff for free: install MySQL and create a template to use the database with java servlets using TomCat as localhost webserver.

Or... if you are not familiar with development: a spreadsheet would be nice. Belive it or not, Microsoft Excel is the best one around (and the best Microsoft software around, only one that works very well), and it's easy to master it's formatting and formulas. Also, you can use VBA macros if you are familiar with Visual Basic...
