I'm proud of you. At least someones beginning to use their head. Specifically I'd say tax attorneys. If they were to do this deal next year they would be subject to the increases that are looming. Don't listen to what these moguls like lucas say watch what they do and when they do it to see how they really feel. And after all isn't lucas a jew?
Edit: I suppose it could be different in the Magical Kingdom of America, but that's how publicly traded companies have to behave in Canada.

here is hoping they tap into the immense catalouge of stories written by authors who are not George Lucas. If they were to make a movie about the Champions of the Force Trilogy and Darksaber id be very cool with it. Other wise I am indifferent, Lucas lost me as a fan with his new crap trilogy. I am more shocked that Indiana Jones was included in this.
HEY GOOGLE. **** OFF YOU. **** YOUR ******** SEARCH ENGINE IN ITS ******* ****** BINARY ***. ALL DAY LONG.

Are you kidding, I'm now a firm believer that Obama bombed Libya and killed our terrorist ambassador, or something... I may not have been paying as much attention as I thought.

Disneyland has an Indiana Jones ride already, it was the start of the slippery slope.

In which case there's still no reason to rush a sale before Nov 6th.
Correct. Good thing no one claimed that was the case. The claim was to rush to get the sale in before January 1st 2013 (you know, when the tax changes would take place).

You know, just because this was posted in the Asylum doesn't mean it has to be dirtied up with politics.

Um, that's exactly what crazy said.
Oh, wait, you probably don't bother to expand his sub-d efforts. Here, I'll show ya:

Assuming that the brokers in this deal get spooked about tax increases once the election is over, I guess? Still doesn't make much sense...

Just as Planned.

I don't live anywhere near NYC and I'm not eligible to donate blood again for another week.
I chipped in some cash, though, which is what most volunteer organizations really need at this point.
Interestingly, Occupy Wall Street has turned itself into Occupy Sandy and has turned its organizational forces to good.

Business is terrified of another obama term.
So, why did it *have* to be done a week before the *election*?

I spent all day yesterday in NYC. it's not all that messed up. Actually it's quite remarkable how well the city is doing after the damage it sustained. But I guess it's to be expected after all, God trying to wipe out such a bastion of liberal socialists.
Oh, wait, it's also the financial and commercial center of the world. Why do you hate capitalism so much?

I miss X-wing. though X-wing vs. tie fighter was also a great game (and tie fighter too for that matter) Any game where you get to attack and kill an executor class super star destroyer has to be good. And the medical frigate redemption mission remains to this day one of the most challenging space simulator engagements I've ever come across. then the fact that you get to play it from the other side in tie fighter was awsome!
If any game needs a graphics update and direct port to windows 7 as is, its them.

Wouldn't it be great if they still made games like that? (As opposed to 3rd person railway Star Wars themed Gummi Ship/Star Fox clones...)
I've been trying to find an old copy or remake of the X-wing/Tie Fighter series and have had no luck anywhere. You'd think with all the wonderful technology we possess today there'd be some way to either play the classic games, or make new ones using the same formula and modern graphics.
Bittorrent? Abandonware?
Tried that. Spent hours doing that actually. All I could find were non-functioning or virus-filled downloads that were also non-functioning after viruses were removed. Some downloads appeared to have all the necessary files, but the problem with those was trying to find a way to get an old game to work on a modern computer, which I failed horribly at, even then, something seemed amiss.

ScummVM and Emuparadise. It's how I play old Monkey Island and Kings Quest (and similar) games, with no problems.

I'd look into that now, but I feel like by blood is filled with tiny metal barbs that are also making the surface of my skin feel blazing hot like an iron, so I'ma lay down now.

Maybe I failed to read enough into the post, but I didn't get that the key date was the election, except to the point that the election happens to be occurring within the quarter before the tax changes may start. He could just as easily have talked about why some big sale occurred 1 month before the election or 2 weeks after the election, and the point being made would have been equally valid.
So to answer you question, it didn't *have* to be done a week before the election specifically. This sale just happened to be at that time.

Exactly. Crazy's post is full of irrational bluster.

That may be true, but then you didn't need to intentionally read additional irrationality into it, much less make that the primary focus of your response.
