    That's what *she* said!

    There was a Murphy Brown episode where Murphy was barking instructions at a person running a video editing machine.
    Murphy: "Faster... slower... go back!"
    Guy: "You sound just like my wife."
    Murphy: "Oh, just hurry up and get it over with!"
    Guy: "Uncanny..."

  2. Asteroids Type? on Correlation Found Between Brain Structure and Video Game Success · · Score: 1

    Asteroids-type arcade game, in which the object is to knock down and destroy an enemy fortress while dodging space mines.

    It sounds more like Star Castle, which *is* an Asteroids type game, but why not just come out and say Star Castle?

  4. Rebirth of Firefly! on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 1

    Now they can finally resurrect Firefly with CGI reproductions of the original cast! It could work as long as the industry does not get too greedy and hire Gilbert Gottfried for Mal and Miley Cyrus for Inara.

    The only thing that can made the RIAA dinosaurs die out is a meteor on their headquarters.

  9. Re:the issue has been discussed here before: on Google Hacked, May Pull Out of China · · Score: 3, Insightful

    does a US company do business with regimes with poor human rights records?

    If it is to the company's benefit.

    does an internet company help such a government with restrictions on freedoms?

    If it is to the company's benefit.

    what if the company's motto is "don't be evil"?

    Marketing slogans seldom translate to real world actions.

    Simply posting to /. is enough for eternal damnation unless you have a paid subscription, of course.

    If you want to see it that bad, go by yourself. Enjoy the crowds of obnoxious people, screaming babies, filthy floors, cramped seats, blocked views, terrible traffic, and insufficient parking. Yeah, nobody wants to go to the cinema anymore because of crappy cam torrents.

    Once you have removed the stickers, you are often left with difficult to remove adhesive gunk on the laptop. An easy way of removing the gunk without damaging or scratching the surface is to spray a little silicone based lubricant in the area and wipe with a paper towel. It quickly wipes off and the silicone lubricant won't damage plastic like petroleum based lubricants (like WD-40) sometimes do.
