@TPL2008: He's not likely to come back as a force-ghost...

I'm going to go ahead and say that he's probably bought the rights so that he can take Alec Guinness and put him in a future Star Wars.

pfft, I download about three gigs a day already... unless that's not exactly what they mean...

I personally can't wait for them to ditch the procedural format altogether. The war between universes needs to escalate into an actual war - tanks, jet fighters, etc.

I told you...

I'm crossing my fingers now for the LHC to discover some improbable method of fast interstellar travel. That would really complete the trifecta: Habitable extrasolar planet, actual non-carbon-based life, and a hyperdrive. Make it happen, nerds.

@Fungi from Berkeley: Science fiction really gets short shrift as far as graphic design is concerned. Just looking at the title makes me cringe. Three fonts, three colors, the "the" needlessly stuck inside the "d"... the effect is like some overweight ham of an actor, chewing the scenery.

Anyone else think that it looks like a floating severed ballbag?

@Charlie Jane Anders: I'll do 'em! I'm used to writing things that nobody reads :)

I have got trumps. I moved into a smallish apartment in the fall of my Junior year, ostensibly with two other people. One of those people never even showed up. The other person left on medical leave about a month into the semester, after an apparent drug overdose. I enjoyed about two weeks of solitude before my new…

In an astonishing turn of events, the distributed botnet SUKHOT.2 uplifted itself and turned in its original creators for the reward money.

Larry Niven was right. The galaxy is exploding. Time to pack up our home planet and steer towards Andromeda.
