Yes, very saddened by this; my third album was Hello and they were my favourite band for a few years in the mid 70s

Carrie Fisher is in the ICU. She had a heart attack on a flight, and had stopped breathing for 10 mins (while CPR was done). May the force be with her.

Oh my...
I never really got into Star Wars, although I have seen the original trilogy with my father before he passed away last year.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

The cynics would say Disney couldn't ask for a better way to get Rogue One talked about.

I preferred her as the jilted bride in the Blues Brothers.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Me too, I like her best when she has an edge; which in reflects her in real life. She was messing around with Harrison in the original Star Wars. She did begin to grow up in the SW Trilogy in as the slave of Jabba the Hut in Return of the Jedi.

Sometimes the true reward for completing a task is not the money, but instead the satisfaction of a job well done. But it's usually the money.

In whatever way you wholly observe, or, Holy observe, this winter solstice liminal season ... may you, and your family, and friends, enjoy all the blessings of a calm heart, and clear mind.
I am celebrating an apparently excellent recovery for cancer (skin, squamous cell carcinoma) surgery on the back of my neck. Looking forward to a new right-eye (cataracts/lens replacement) on January 10th., if the body says "all systems go."
The only thing that haunts me is that the cost of the treatment is exactly the same as the current negotiating price for a magnificent rock-crystal encased in gilded bronze figure of Maha Kali in (one of) the classic styles (Buddhamarga, Sivamarga: a fusion of Tantric/Vajrayana Buddhist, and Tantric/Sivaite Hinduism, iconography) associated with the remarkable culture and craftsmanship of the Kathmandu Valley Newari artists.
Of course, I feel exquisite guilt at not being able to pull an oar in the strangely bobbing craft of our QA forums 
cheers, Bill
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

All the best to you also. And I hope that after January 10th you will be able to see the world afresh.

And a very merry "Keep a Tree Indoors" season to you and yours, my friend!
Good luck with the eye op - you've waited long enough for it - I'll be thinking of you.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Also to you and yours, Bill. Get yourself well, and don't worry too much about QA - its not likely to change a lot while you're away.
Cheers,
Mick

Thanks! Please allow me to reciprocate your season's greetings.
I too have been warned that I am starting to develop cataracts in both eyes, but the need for surgery is still a year or so away. My wife already had the surgery in both eyes, and it made a world of difference for her.
Get me coffee and no one gets hurt!

Thank you and best wishes to you. Recently went through some (successful) cancer surgery. Had cataracts removed from both eyes, and lens installed. Amazing difference in my sight. One eye now does close and the other does distance.
Alas, the dollarectomy is always a challenge.

Excellent read, I remember a lot of them!

Excellent read. I thought that they might mention the DEC Alpha[^] chip, which was big news in the early 1990s before they went bankrupt (ok ok they were almost insolvent and got bought out by Compaq, who were bought out by HP). It was the first mainstream 64 bit chip, and had numerous multiprocessing capabilities. If it was built today, it would still be close to state of the art.
DEC products were a big part of my career. Sniff.
I'm retired. There's a nap for that...
