What are you people talking about? I've seen the movie 3 or 4 times over the last 15 years (all in the US-- on the big screen and VHS) and this alleged "uncensored" version is the only one I've seen.
Maybe if you stopped renting movies at Blockbuster you wouldn't have these problems?
methodology: I boiled a cup of water in the microwave. I waited for it to cool, and boiled it again. I let it cool and boiled it again. I carefully removed the cup and let a few drops of (extra virgin olive) oil drip onto the surface from about 1cm height to minimize air bubbles.
observations: the oil stayed in a tight slick on the surface for about 10 seconds. Then it spread out, I'm assuming because of the heat of the water.
After a about 45s, a piece of wood was introduced to the water, which caused mild boiling suggesting that the water had indeed been devoid of air.
After more than 30 mnutes, the slick was still on the surface without mixing.
Conclusions: those guys are need to accumulate more data.
If you're in multiple relationships, it's much smarter to use a condom.
If you're done having babies, it's much easier to have a vascectomy.
Who is going to choose to continuously pay for something that does who knows what to your body? It's stupid.

Tuning forks are a handy way to test for broken bones. Start the fork humming, then hold the handle against the bone where it is closest to the surface of the skin. If it's broken, the area of the break will hurt-- a lot.
Or so I was told in EMT class. AlthoughI have seen this done by professionals; I don't know if it really works.
Big deal, most digital information is completely unimportant drek. (Like this comment for instance).
Important stuff gets backed up to CDs or DVDs or something a little more permanent.
I'm not going to cry over the loss of emailed baby pictures from people I hardly know. If those pictures were physical, I would have discarded the ones I didn't care about, or they would be slowly burning themselves away in a shoebox in the closet.
I was incredulous a couple of years ago at a software conference put on by our vendor, when after the room had turned decidedly against the programmers, the programmers blamed the delay in the new release on us!-- They blamed the entire user base for the delay because some tiny subset of the user base requested a port to a new platform.
The problem with software producers is that they lump the entire user base into a single "user" entity, and think (apparently) that if one person wants a feature, everyone wants it. Sure they'll make the concession of adding the "s" on the end of user, to make it sound like their talking about a group of people, but their not-- "users" is just the name of their scapegoat and honeypot.
What they should do is fix bugs. All the bugs. Then add features-- after careful consideration. Face it programmers-- people are already using your software-- it probablly doesn't *need* that new feature, it might be nice, but it doesn't need it. It is much better to improve it by reducing bugs, than to muck it up with new features.
This same software conference had a vote on the top ten new features to add. It was later revealed that this vote was meaningless. Features would be introduced based on ease of implementation. Some of these "features" were security bug fixes that had been in the top ten for 5 years or more (all users have read/write access to the entire database).
The worst thing about this system was there was no way to vote *against* anything. If even a single user requested a change, it might get implemented, even if it was an incredibly stupid idea (like, in one case, adding a different way to do something that was already in the program).
The lesson from the conference-- don't go to conferences offered by a vendor. The schedule was spontaneaously rearranged so that we could talk about the problems less and they could talk about their new software products more.
230k, 2 acres, 4100 sq ft. What-- do you live in the woods?
Hell of a commute eh? Perhaps you telecommute?
Where I live, (10 minute bike ride to work, 20 minute walk to groceries/restaurant/shopping, 15 minute drive to RDU) 230k would get you about 2400 sq ft and 1/3 to 1/2 acre.
The new job has a *starting salary* of X. You will get more than that there soon after you start.
Your current job is willing to give you a *raise* up to X. And you already know that they don't want to pay you that much, so it'll be a long time before you get more than that. They think they're doing you a favor-- when they're really just doing themselves a favor.
In the new job, you'll most likely get a raise in 3-6 months after you prove yourself. A year tops...
>> Likewise the answer to 2 because there was no existing market.
There were markets for candles, oil lamps and gaslights, but no market for clean, odorless light that was less likely than existing light sources to burn your house down? I can't follow that logic.
I loved the movie right up to the point they made that explanation, then it pretty much sucked for me.
The only reason I can think of for computers to keep humans alive would be to monitor their brainwaves for the creativity in human dreams that the computers need to adapt.
As far as energy production-- fossil fuels, halothermic bacteria, but as I recall, the computers were using the human energy and "some kind of fusion" --uh, energy problem solved.
Terminator had the best technology explanation ever in a movie-- "I didn't build the fucking thing!".
since you're listing *all* the evils of nethack, don't forget the most heinous: murdering peaceful creatures in their sleep (then eating them).
And, of course, use of psychedelics and alcohol abuse.
And I for one have recurring psychological effects from the game. It is rare that I can type a "&" without my fingers freezing on the keyboard as a tremor of horror moves up my spine.

I have a child.
I don't have a cell phone.
What the hell are you going to do? Rush home and administer CPR? If it's really important, you should teach your babysitter to dial 911.
If it's not really important, you have plenty of time to freak out after your pleasant evening out.
Spoken like a software producer.

Eat candied ginger while you play (slices of ginger that have been packed in sugar)-- you can get it at Asian food stores. Very tasty too.

"The synaptic link was rather unhelpful in explaining how it is infecting, and a google search is coming up blank.

Unfortuantely your synaptic links won't work until you learn more about this. So if that's all your relying on, it's a regrettable Catch-22.
No more pirating of the OS maybe. Big maybe.
What about WINE? What about "borrowing" MS DLLs for wine to use?
Is the foot still in the door?
I've seen this scene-- or at least I believe that I have.
I saw the movie in theatres when it first came out-- was it in then?
Or am I just remembering this from some star wars book I saw a couple of years later that had stills and dialog?
When re-watching the movie on video, other people also commented on this missing scene. (and I think that was 13+ years ago).
I have not seen any of the remastered Star Wars. Was this scene *ever* released on film before the digital copies came out?
"Why would anyone engrave "Elbereth"?"
That's a good question. Looks like they made a mistake.
I guess the answer would be-- to further the plot-- how else could you make it permanent?

If I am correcet in that memory, then he was given sight he never had, which would be a much bigger deal.
