From her memoir

What you'll have of me after I journey to that great Death Star in the sky is an extremely accomplished daughter, a few books, and a picture of a stern-looking girl wearing some kind of metal bikini lounging on a giant drooling squid, behind a newscaster informing you of the passing of Princess Leia after a long battle with her head.

Rest in Peace, Ms. Fisher.  Thank you for inspiring me during a dark time in my life.

And as for 2016   <middle finger>    :angry:

Episode VIII was already shot supposedly.

It was...filming  finished in July.  Of course they'll probably have to adjust the film a bit to "send her out" in a dignified way... if they hadn't already in 8. 

 

Sad either way...2016 has been hard on celebrities especially Star Wars (Carrie is the fourth)

Since filming is already done for episode 8 then they don't have to do any CGI stuff unless it's some needed reshoots but I haven't heard anything about them doing any at this point in time. 

 

It still messes things up for what they can do afterwards. 

Unless Leia's character dies in 8.

They need to put her in the next Star Wars movie as one of the Force's figures.

 

Dang. That sucks. I've lost another childhood memory. I grew up watching Star Wars, almost daily.

 

true. I must agree with you 1,000%

Carrie Fisher's mom, the lovely Debbie Reynolds (Singin' in the Rain, Unsinkable Molly Brown, Broadway entertainer, etc.) , has been hospitalized and Todd Fisher says that she "is not OK."  Reported as a possible stroke.

Losing Carrie hit her so hard she had a stroke and at her age that's something that is very hard to survive, grief is a powerful thing, this isn't the first time you hear about loved ones passing shortly after one another, mostly is a wife dying after their husband etc, but same applies here you could say.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
