@arstechnica - this makes it clear that NOW is the time for people to "rip" their DVD's to digital backups, if they haven't already, and luckily the DRM on DVD (unlike most Blu-Ray) can be easily bypassed these days.

@arstechnica - human "exploration" of Mars, would, given the technology we possess likely through at least the next 2 decades, involve sending a small crew to land, and then relatively quickly, die there. While I am sure some volunteers could be found to suicide themselves for this mission that is way better tasked to robots, I'm not convinced it is ethical to enable them to do to themselves in such manner.

Yes, I am this old. I almost miss the satisfaction of the restored smoothness of function after one of these cleanings though. Almost.
