I must have been part of a test group - I've had this for months. Used it once and it brought up a season of 99 that I had missed, so yay.

'Star Wars: Episode VIII' Delayed By Seven Months (hollywoodreporter.com) 203
Mr.Intel writes with bad news for those of you champing at the bit to see the next Star Wars movie. Engadget reports: "You'll have to wait a bit longer to see what the heck is up with Luke Skywalker. Disney announced this afternoon that it's delaying Star Wars: Episode VIII from May 26, 2017 by seven months to December 15, 2017. Disney didn't give any reason for the delay, but sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that it'll allow the studio to give the film a Christmas release treatment, which worked pretty well for The Force Awakens. Additionally, it'll give director/writer Rian Johnson (Brick, Looper) more time to work on the film. THR's Borys Kit notes that may include rewrites to focus more on the new class of Star Wars characters."

Bingo. Back in the day I did T&M at a reasonably high rate given I was just out of school, but once I was done bug fixes were free as long as I was working on another project there. We should have had a formal contract, but we didn't.

Comment 6 genes just for height (Score 4, Informative) 254
I've been told, by a bio ethicist, that there at six genes that influence height. So the idea that's there's just one gene for IQ seems odd.

Major issue was the strange sounds that went with it when in operation, that and time seemed to slow down. Was somewhat expensive, costing ~6 million to out fit a person with a few limbs. Hope this is an improvement.
