I never said my criteria included being a literary character (I just posted it in this board because the article reminded me of this earlier conversation I had). In fact I think I may have also even specifically meant Movie and/or TV character when I originally posited the question to my friends (an actor needed to…

I wasn't specifically referring to that kind of character, I meant more that the character and its universe has been "rebooted" that many times. Dax was portrayed nine times in the same exact series.

Interestingly, I recently asked around to find which character/franchise created post 1990 has been most rebooted/portrayed, because even now I can't find a character that's been redone more than, of all things, NIKITA:

I am on Snow Leopard. Seems like that link proves there's no way to close the laptop without putting it to sleep. Maybe it's time I switched to Lion ;)

Baydin's Boomerang is what I use for delayed delivery. Works great.

I have my macbook pro attached to an external monitor at work as the primary display. Is there a way for me to close my MBP so I can only have the monitor on, WITHOUT making the macbook have to go to sleep when close it? It's a pain for it to sleep and then have to compulsively tap a key on my external keyboard to…

Was it certified as well? Because if it was that's standard procedure in case she wanted to take you to court, to have written proof that she sent you notice of her complaint.

When I came upon the Neal Adams issues of the original X-Men after reading the Kirby/Post-Kirby issues, I seriously thought I'd accidentally skipped some 25 years of issues. The art in it was SO far ahead of the norm, even more so than John Byrne's 70's X-Men. In fact probably not until the 80's Art Adams did I feel…

I decided to remove comments from Yahoo news stories because it was riling me up too much using a greasemonkey script (yes, I get my news mostly from Yahoo). For those interested: [www.greasypigstudios.com] (please try not to hotlink if you can)

Awesome! That's exactly what I was looking for. Any idea how much ram this takes up (does it just constantly load the entire page then just crop that element) and how often it updates?

Any tips on keeping it brief when you're trying to break awkward news? Like quitting your job, saying you can't make it to an important event, or just vehemently disagreeing with someone's opinion (like in a creative process)? I feel like I use verbosity to explain myself and lessen the blow.

(spoiler alert) Always lots of makeup? What about his cameo in 21 jump—-oh wait (/spoiler)

I will be installing a wired FM modulator to my car's stock radio and it involves splicing some wires in... is it fine to twist them and tightly cover with electrical tape?

I want to keep track of a kickstarter/indiegogo running total without having to constantly go on the site... is there a way to make like a widget or send me an email whenever that number changes? I think being able to extract just that piece of text from a website is all I need.

I guess he'd run out of power by then so life support was failing.

I think during the middle the laser had made its way through heating up a bunch of later balloons further back so they were weaker when the laser finally go to them. The speed at the beginning is the normal "per balloon" speed, and at the end the laser was losing a lot of its energy already.

I think certain insurance policies even stipulate alien invasion along with act of God.

It also didn't seem all that necessary for Tony to carry that thing all the way into the wormhole as far as he did and risk his life that much... I don't know how that missile is guided but I think by the time it passes the wormhole it wouldn't be able to turn all the way back around back to earth... not only would it…

"you're more than welcome to go back home after spending all that time getting ready to get in and standing in line."

Kinda like ditching school to meet the guy out back who can make you a fake ID?
