Lost Star Wars Scene In the Wild 294

Someone managed to get a clip on-line of the lost Star Wars scene from Jedi where Luke is shown crafting his Lightsaber. The full clip will apparently be included on the Blu-ray box set expected to come out in 2011. Hit the link below to see what is circulating. It's not much, but it looks real. Can't wait to see what they include in the 2015 version.
Update: 08/16 22:44 GMT by S : Lucasfilm complained, and YouTube took the video down.

Lord of the Rings Online To Go Free-To-Play 138

darkwing_bmf sends word of Turbine's announcement that Lord of the Rings Online will become a free-to-play game this fall. 'The move is another validation of the free-to-play business model, where gamers can play for free and pay real money for virtual goods such as better weapons or decorative gear for their game characters. The business model has been popular in Asia but only recently took off in the US. This move shows the pressure is building on game publishers to shift to the new business model or face declining audiences.' According to a post on the official website, LotRO's micro-transaction system will be "very similar" to how Turbine's DDO store works, and current subscribers will maintain all of their privileges.

SpaceX Successfully Launches Falcon 9 Rocket 190

leetrout writes "SpaceX has successfully launched a two-stage rocket, the Falcon 9, into Earth orbit from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. 'Liftoff came after hours of delay, sparked initially by launchpad telemetry problems, then by a sailboat that strayed into a restricted area of the launch range. The day's first countdown was aborted at virtually the last second, due to a problem with the engine parameters, but the launch software was adjusted and a second countdown went all the way to the end.'" Update: 06/04 20:16 GMT by S : Reader mrcaseyj points out Spaceflight Now's coverage, which includes a number of pictures from the launch.

Comment ADHD and Tired too? Sleep Apnea? (Score 1) 1748

Sleep Apnea (not breathing correctly during sleep ) can have similar symptoms. But you'll also be mighty tired. Or in some cases, people address this by being hyper or using mass stimulants. Inability to concentrate due to sustained sleep deprivation is just the beginning. Worst part, most people who have it never realize it until someone else notices strange breathing patterns in their sleep and they get it checked out. I feel the need to say it 'cause my doctor missed it and sent me to a shrink based on my symptoms. Tiredness, lack of attention, depression, bad health, absent mined, and mega coffee just to function. I never went to the shrink and thanks to my new girl's advice I went to get a sleep study done. Got a special machine called a CPAP to breath with at night. Whammo! I have new life. No joke. Do a google and read the testimonials. I'm awaiting some minor throat surgery to see if I can ditch the CPAP. Probably you don't have it but it is worth looking into if you are thinking about ADD and all the rest of that.
