This film was made sometime the 80s I think and was concerned with scientists who developed some device that could be used to record memories. The main story was about one of the scientists dying and using the device to record her death. This resulted in the military getting involved. That is about all I remember but I remember it being a very good and thought provoking film that I would like to watch again. I just cannot remember what it was called though. Does anyone know what this movie is called?
I know that this sounds like Strange Days, which I haven't seen, but from the Wikipedia description I don't think that's it.  I saw this back in the early-to-mid-90's on TV, pretty sure it was a premium channel. It follows a research group who develops a way to record experiences. Not thoughts, but at least the sights, sounds, smells, touch, etc. They record it onto this reel-to-reel tape, it looked striated and golden in color. The protagonist is the head of the research team.  I don't remember a great deal of the plot, but there were conspiracies surrounding the invention. The lab clown decides to give it a whirl by putting the bike-helmet-sized apparatus on his head and going out to have a little fun, in the classic wine, women, and song fashion. Once he returns, an older member of the team finds the tape and finds a section where the clown is having sex. Later on, the protagonist, who is the lead researcher, finds the older member shut up in his house seemingly for days and nearly comatose. The older researcher had the playback device over his head and is non-responsive. Worried, the protagonist removes the helmet and puts it on himself, only to find that the older researcher had snipped a few seconds of tape and had them running on a non-stop loop; the moment of orgasm for the clownish researcher. The older researcher eventually comes to and awkwardly apologizes.  I think there were also experiments in recording the sensorum of a lab monkey, and that played into the plot. I remember the plot seemed fairly thin and dull for what seemed to be a pretty neat idea. I don't desperately feel the need to watch the movie, but I'm mildly curious if my impressions would differ 20 years later now.
Word for "someone who talks too much" How to execute a JavaScript function when I have its name as a string User with low reputation shows as having modified thread How can this user , reputation 3, show in  as having "modified 7 hours ago", but on the modified thread, , not show at all?  This user also has two medals, which is somewhat puzzling. In .NET, which loop runs faster, 'for' or 'foreach'? In C#/VB.NET/.NET, which loop runs faster, for or foreach?  Ever since I read that a for loop works faster than a foreach loop a  I assumed it stood true for all collections, generic collections, all arrays, etc.  I scoured Google and found a few articles, but most of them are inconclusive (read comments on the articles) and open ended.  What would be ideal is to have each scenario listed and the best solution for the same.  For example (just an example of how it should be):   for iterating an array of 1000+ strings - for is better than foreach for iterating over IList (non generic) strings - foreach is better than for   A few references found on the web for the same:               [Edit]  Apart from the readability aspect of it, I am really interested in facts and figures. There are applications where the last mile of performance optimization squeezed do matter. My professor proved that the kernel is a normal subgroup under a homomorphism f by saying. Let $h\in H$  by applying f to it  $f(ghg^{-1})=f(g)f(h)f(g)^{-1}=e $  My question is how is this a proof that the kernel is normal. What is the reason we apply f to it ? By applying f dont we just prove that $f(ghg^{-1})$ is normal ? How do I use variables in a sed command? I tried the following code to replace QQ with ZZ, but it doesn't do what I want:  var1=QQ sed -i 's/$var1/ZZ/g' $file   However, this code does what I want:  sed -i 's/QQ/ZZ/g' $file   How do I use variables in sed?

Getting MAC Address I need a cross platform method of determining the MAC address of a computer at run time.  For windows the 'wmi' module can be used and the only method under Linux I could find was to run ifconfig and run a regex across its output.  I don't like using a package that only works on one OS, and parsing the output of another program doesn't seem very elegant not to mention error prone.   Does anyone know a cross platform method (windows and linux) method to get the MAC address?    If not, does anyone know any more elegant methods then those I listed above? I have some HTML menus, which I show completely when a user clicks on the head of these menus. I would like to hide these elements when the user clicks outside the menus' area.  Is something like this possible with jQuery?  $("#menuscontainer").clickOutsideThisElement(function() {     // Hide the menus }); Why do I have two docks in Ubuntu desktop (with GNOME 3) after installing Dash to Dock? What's going on here? I've installed the  on Ubuntu 17.10. Everything was cool, and as I was trying to hone and tweak the look of my desktop, at some point the shortcuts bar (dock?) on the left is duplicated.  (Click image to enlarge) The default, which normally disappears with Dash to Dock, is there underneath the one that usually shows up when I install Dash to Dock. Why? I've tried to go through the options for Dash to Dock, the GNOME Tweak Tool, and the regular Ubuntu settings, but I can't figure it out. Regular expression for URL Assume $x$ doesn't occur free in $\alpha$, show that: $$\vdash (\forall x \beta \to \alpha) \leftrightarrow \exists x (\beta \to \alpha)$$   This is an exercise on page 130, A Mathematical Introduction to Logic, Herbert B. Enderton（2ed).   Here's my attempt: For the '$\to$' direction, since $x$ doesn't occur free in $\alpha$, we have $α→∀x α$ and $\forall x \alpha \to \alpha$ as logical axiom(In the second formula, we have$\alpha_x^x = \alpha$). Thus it suffice to show $\vdash (\forall x \beta \to \forall x \alpha) \rightarrow \exists x (\beta \to \alpha)$. By logical axiom $∀ x(α→β)→( ∀ x α→∀x β)$, it would suffice to show $\vdash \forall x (\beta \to   \alpha) \rightarrow (\exists x (\beta \to \alpha))$. It has been shown in a previous exercise that there's a deduction $∀ x ϕ→∃x ϕ$, so we are done for the "$\to$" part.  The problem for me is how to show the "$\leftarrow$" direction.  Added: Here's logical axioms that we can employ:         Tautologies(in the sense of propositional logic);   $∀ x α →α^x_ t $, where $t$ is substitutable for $x$ in $α$ ($α^x_ t$ is the formula derived from $\alpha$ by replacing $x$ by a term $t$);   $∀ x(α→β)→( ∀ x α→∀x β)$;   $α→∀x α$, where $x$ does not occur free in $α$.      Besides, generalization theorem and deduction principle can be utilized:     If $\Gamma \vdash ϕ$ and $x$ do not occur free in any   formula in$\Gamma$, then$\Gamma \vdash ∀ x ϕ$.      If $\Gamma ; γ \vdash ϕ,$ then $\Gamma \vdash  γ \to ϕ$. Changing permissions on serial port I'm using the Arduino IDE in Ubuntu, and am having issues with the serial port. It has worked in the past, but for reasons that may be unnecesary, I felt the need to change the ownership of some of the files from root ownership to my users ownership.  This made the IDE work correctly, but I lost the ability to use the correct serial port.  In the dev folder, the port I need is listed as permission 166. Someone (who is no longer in the area to help me) swapped the permissions to 666, which made it all work gloriously.  However, it reverted back as soon as I restarted my computer, and if I now try to use the command:  sudo chmod 666 ttyACM0   nothing happens. No error messages, but no permission change either.    How can I change it, and how can I get it to change permanently.  I apologize if this question is overly simplistic or unclear, I'm an ubuntu noob, and I wouldn't begrudge feedback! Is the intersection of a closed set and a compact set always compact? Diminishing returns / non-linear reputation from “great” answers Over time I realized a very annoying property of the Stack Overflow reputation system: Easy answers to popular question are rewarded with a lot more reputation points than actually great answers. In case anybody actually needs examples for this, here are two examples from :   gained me 420 rep, I invested 2 minutes writing it, and it only was a wild guess.   took me about an hour for the research and the math and gained me 40 rep.  Now I know that you are bound to get more rep for answers that are useful to more people, and I'd say that's fine. But the current situation is quite extreme: 30% of my reputation is from 5 of my 330 answers, and they are definitely far from being my best ones.  A final example that is not from my profile, but more extreme: Do you really think  is worth 40000 reputation?  My proposition to improve that situation would be to make the reputation gain from a single answer non-linear, maybe even have it capped at a certain point. I'm not sure on how that non-linear function should look exactly, and would leave good proposals for that to users with more experience than me. How to disable "time travel" entirely? Every time I open a question I get this oh so funny 90s feel with scrollers and whatnots. In every question I need to click it off. The button seems to only work for the specific page I load; loading a different page shows the theme again.  Is this an attempt to keep people from using the site for a few days or how do I tell you "please never ever do anything like this if you want me to keep contributing here"? Yes I have no sense of humor if this is an attempt at that.  How do I turn off "time travel" (also known as "back to the future") mode off permanently, on all questions, and preferably network-wide?
