All depends on who he gets to play the main charactes. If he gets a semi-hot actress, she will have all kinds of parts that didn't happen.
IMO, The Hobbit is the perfect book to make into a movie. No convoluted plot lines, and it's not too long that you have to edit too much out. I'm even fine if he leaves out the battle of the five armies, just don't add a bunch a shit that never happened.
Since it's sent through the internet, google probably already has all the queries on a back server somewhere, and are probably already running analysis on it. I mean come on it's google. They own the internet don't they, for all intents and purposes?
It means that if I have a Lowe's ad, for concrete blocks for $.99 but Home Depot sells them for $1.99, then I can take my ad to Home Depot and buy the blocks for $.99. Home Depot banks on the fact that most people are too lazy to shop around for the lowest price.
Wal-Mart and O'Reilly Autoparts do the the same thing. Although, O'Reilly's is the best because you don't even have to an ad. Just tell them, the part is cheaper at Autozone, and they will discount it for you.
I can walk into any gun store and get any number of rifles or pistols I can afford instantly. Depends on your location. I'm assuming you're also from the United States of America.
Windows 8 will be widely accepted by all the sheeples of the world, because they won't have much choice when it's released. They'll buy a new pc, and they'll get used to it. Much like people did with Office 2007 and the damn ribbon. Die, Ribbon, Die.
Sorry, I've entered homicidal rage from trying to figure out how to write some vbscript for excel 2010, because my boss doesn't think our PHP/MySql Website is good enough yet.
Actually according to the Poncas there were a few woolly mammoths left around until about the 1200's. At least one tribe has a story of an extremely long winter when food supplies were running low, and they then went hunting and killed a woolly mammoth, and it saved the tribe.
Who knows what animals survived in small herds in the America's until the Europeans arrived.
You are correct. The reason why it hasn't happened before is that self publishing was hard 10 years ago. It was even hard 2 years ago. You needed money to pay for everything. Now you only need a way to support yourself until you can get the book written. Once there, you can self promote with websites, blogs, twitter, facebook, so on and so forth. Once authors realize this, the book industry can be profitable more profitable because you are no longer beholden to share holders. An author can now pay an editor a lot more than they were making before. This editor can have a fe typesetters, and whatever else is needed. Once you have one good book, people will probs ln continue to buy anything you write.
Music artists take note. In this day and age of always connected consumers, self promotion is not only done, but easy to do. ALook at Billy Corgan of the smashing pumpkins. His latest release is freely available for download, and I'm assuming he is making a decent living releasing limited cuts of the tracks.
Look at Rebecca Blacks Friday song. She has made a shit ton of money from one single all because of the crowd sourcing effects of YouTube.
Look at open source projects. A lot more people with talent are being discovered this day due to social media, and self promotion. All of which is due in part to better technology. Ebooks are just a small part of this.
Ebooks are slowly changing the way authors sell their books. No longer do you need a publisher to sell you book. Self-publishing is not only a possibility now, but it is also a reality. The only thing you can get from a publisher now is up front fees and marketing. But with the web, you can do much of that yourself.

As an American (you know the one from the United States of America), let me explain the American point of view. We have been bred for over 200 years to realize that we have certain "rights", and we don't like giving them up. All of the rest of the citizens of this planet can give up every fucking "right" they have, but my country was founded on the belief that says Fuck everybody else.
I love these posts on/. There must be at least two different groups of people on here. Those who love the Mother Earth stories, and only comment on those, and those who hate Patents/Copyrigt, and only comment on those. When I'm illegally downloading stuff I don't own, then I'm in the right. When I'm illegally dumping my garbage, I'm in the wrong? See half the time you are a libertarian, and the the other half you're a green peace loving DemoRat.
I love how Christians and Muslims are crazy to believe in religion, but Global Warming Advocated are allowed to have their religion and lord it over the the whole world.
The problem IMO with temp agencies, is that they typically send you crap employees. They are not in the business to fill a job, they are in the business to keep the job open. The more people they send you're way the more money they make. I'm sure at some point they have to find a good employee, so people will keep using them, but until then, they just want to keep sending morons out there.
Yeah, I'm bitter. I've never met anyone who got a decent job out of an employment agency.
Getting hired by a local small business is you're best bet. I've got my Associates in computer science, but no company with a real HR department will even look at me. I can get calls all day from real jobs posted on Craigslist. So that's where I would start looking. Craigslist.com
I used to carry a back pack into my school library, and put the books in there rather than check them out. Wonder if they'll start pulling the hardcover books too?
I love the oil argument with gas being well over $3.00 a gallon still, with highs predicts next year of over 5.00 USD. So glad we stole all the fucking oil for our own sakes.
I guess you don't realize we did the same thing in the early 90s when the UN asked us to do it. We should have finished Saddam then.
I wish people would stop calling the Iraq war a crime. By this definition, going to war against Nazi Germany was also a crime. Grow the fuck up. Saddam Hussein was a mass-murdering dictator who needed to be killed. I'm glad we caught his ass, and they hung him high. His crimes were on par with Adolf Hitler.
I'll concede that our troops should no longer be there, or in Afghanistan. Bring our boys home, and stop all the fighting, until another dictator rises to power, then we can do this all over again.
they would manufacture their shit here in the US where we have laws against this. They don't care, that's why all the manufacturing is done in China, where the govt doesn't give a shit about the environment. They probably figure once they've fucked up their own country, they can just use all the American debt to buy unpolluted land in Cali, Hawaii, and any other state they think is nice.

Oh you mean like having Liv Tyler save the Hobbits, just because she was a semi-famous actress? I never even bothered to watch the last two movies.
Except for when Eowyn killed the Nazgul lord, which is the coolest part of any book ever.

We use some banking software that only works with IE8. This is gonna be a pain in the ass.

Mosquitoes are pollinators. They typically eat plant nectar, except the females who need blood to aid in egg development.

Skeptic Argumernt:
Climates changed before.
Science says:
A giant asteroid crashed into the planet.
A better source would probably illustrate you're point better. There are no sources to back the websites claims.

Because it involves balls and Coxwell. The new editors are two teenage boys that live in Sandusky's basement.
Too bad nobody gave the correct answer to which current technology you wish you had back then. The correct answer is google.
