INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - CORRIDOR

The evil Darth Vader stands amid the broken and twisted bodies

of his foes. He grabs a wounded Rebel Officer by the neck as

an Imperial Officer rushes up to the Dark Lord.

IMPERIAL OFFICER

The Death Star plans are not in the

main computer.

Vader squeezes the neck of the Rebel Officer, who struggles

in vain.

No: affidavid | Yes: affidavit

Even if your lawyer's name is ''David,'' he issues affidavits.

While it is a disease of old-timers, it is named for the German neurologist, Dr. Alois Alzheimer.

VADER

Where are those transmissions you

intercepted?

Vader lifts the Rebel off his feet by his throat.

VADER

What have you done with those plans?

REBEL OFFICER

We intercepted no transmissions.

Aaah... This is a consular ship.

Were on a diplomatic mission.

VADER

If this is a consular ship... were

The Rebel refuses to speak but eventually cries out as the

Dark Lord begins to squeeze the officer's throat, creating a

gruesome snapping and choking, until the soldier goes limp.

Vader tosses the dead soldier against the wall and turns to

his troops.

VADER

Commander, tear this ship apart until

you've found those plans and bring

me the Ambassador. I want her alive!

The stormtroopers scurry into the subhallways.

No: Antartic | Yes: Antarctic

Just think of an arc of ants (an ant arc) and that should help you keep the [c] in the pronunciation of this word.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - SUBHALLWAY

The lovely young girl huddles in a small alcove as the

stormtroopers search through the ship. She is Princess Leia

Organa, a member of the Alderaan Senate. The fear in her

eyes slowly gives way to anger as the muted crushing sounds

of the approaching stormtroopers grow louder. One of the

troopers spots her.

TROOPER

There she is! Set for stun!

Leia steps from her hiding place and blasts a trooper with

her laser pistol. She starts to run but is felled by a

paralyzing ray. The troopers inspect her inert body.

TROOPER

She'll be all right. Inform Lord

Vader we have a prisoner.

INT. REBEL BLOCKADE RUNNER - SUBHALLWAY

Artoo stops before the small hatch of an emergency lifepod.

He snaps the seal on the main latch and a red warning light

begins to flash. The stubby astro-robot works his way into

the cramped four-man pod.

THREEPIO

Hey, you're not permitted in there.

It's restricted. You'll be deactivated

for sure..

Artoo beeps something to him.

THREEPIO

Don't call me a mindless philosopher,

you overweight glob of grease! Now

come out before somebody sees you.

Artoo whistles something at his reluctant friend regarding

the mission he is about to perform.

THREEPIO

Secret mission? What plans? What are

you talking about? I'm not getting

in there!

Artoo isn't happy with Threepio's stubbornness, and he beeps

and twangs angrily.

A new explosion, this time very close, sends dust and debris

through the narrow subhallway. Flames lick at Threepio and,

after a flurry of electronic swearing from Artoo, the lanky

robot jumps into the lifepod.

THREEPIO

I'm going to regret this.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent

      Just the price of doing business. The scamble to pull as much from the web as possible is happening, and it's happening before a case like this changes how or what is legal do to with AI in terms of data harvesting. But even then as we've seen with the likes of Google who ignore cookie requests and just accept the fact they'll get fined, it's built into their business price model now. AI is here, its not going away. Their reward if any from the court case would be best suited to trying to incorprate AI or licence their end points as authentic human verified content. The problem is, as we've seen these same news papers are using AI themselves.
    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of by Hamid Ganji While companies like Apple and Samsung have been relatively conservative with their devices’ battery capacities in recent years, Chinese manufacturers have taken the competition to the next level by introducing significantly larger batteries. However, the latest report from China suggests that a local company may already be developing a smartphone with a whopping 14,000mAh battery. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claimed on Weibo that a smartphone maker is developing a device with a 14,000mAh battery. If true, it would be the largest battery ever used in a smartphone and could, in theory, provide up to a week of battery life on a single charge. The leaker did not reveal the name of the company behind the device, but there are some clues. This week, HONOR unveiled the X80 Pro Max in China with an 11,000mAh battery and 90W wired charging support. The company also launched the Honor Win in January, which packs a 10,000mAh battery. HONOR, a former subsidiary of Huawei, has a proven track record of developing smartphones with unusually large batteries. However, other Chinese brands, including Xiaomi, have also launched devices such as the Xiaomi 17 Pro Max with 7,500mAh batteries. Though Chinese users on Weibo also believe the company behind the new battery is HONOR. Interestingly, Digital Chat Station said the device with the 14,000mAh battery weighs around 220 grams, making it lighter than the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (233 grams) and slightly heavier than the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra (214 grams). The iPhone 17 Pro Max currently packs a 5,088mAh battery in eSIM-only versions, while the Galaxy S26 Ultra features a 5,000mAh battery. Neither device is expected to see a dramatic increase in battery capacity in its next-generation successor. So when it comes to battery comparison, Chinese brands are unbeaten. HONOR smartphones are currently available in the EU, but the Chinese brand has no official presence in the United States due to restrictions imposed by the U.S. government.
