"It's amazing how much mature wisdom resembles being too tired." Robert Anson Heinlein
heh.
Anyway, about the book. I think this review is missing some parts, like, the review part. *shrug*
I will say, localroger is my favorite K5 author, but the clumsy name of the book has put me off reading it (silly, I know). The plot introduction above makes it sound interesting, though. Maybe it's worth a try.
Human twins may lead very similar lives, but then, human twins are born together, generally live in the same environment at the same exact time, have most of the same experiences, and they have each other for reinforcment. If you take away all those factors, as in this case, you are left with only the genetic factors. It seems genetic factors just don't have that much effect, relatively, on behavior, which isn't really that surprising.
Have you ever spent a lot of time around identical twins? At first, they seem, well, identical. After six months of daily exposure, they won't even look alike to you, or even act alike.
Actually, I think its quite clear and accurate. They will announce that it will ship this year, but instead, it will become late this year.
Also, if the history of innovative storage techniques holds true, it will be too expensive (when released) to gain acceptance. When the price comes down to where buyers might take notice, 5 gigs will be about as useful as a floppy, rendering the device affordable and nearly useless.
You're getting modded as Funny, but it's no joke! I've been playing this damn game for over 15 years, and I'm so used to the keyboard commands and textmode graphics, I can't play with any of the fancy rendering and menus and whatnot. I *have* thought of doing 3D text characters, and saving the pretty graphics for the environment, where it doesn't matter for gameplay.
I'd agree. I'm in a Computer Science and Engineering program, and I think you'd be amused watching me build a circuit the way I'd write a program. Lay out a framework, make submodule stubs, implement them one by one, debug them individually before making them work together....
Works fine for software, really, *really* sucks for hardware.
Regardless of how many years of programming experience you have, some of the things you say indicate that you're just not ready to be a server admin.
(I have no idea how, and I don't have time to learn it). Shut-down and re-start, same thing.
If I had to guess, I'd say you have a lot of Windows experience, and you just assumed your skills would transfer.
Bottom line: if you can't set up an FTP server, you probably shouldn't be running an FTP server. I know, Windows would let you set up anything you want, quickly and easily, whether you understood what you were doing or not, but that's part of the problem.

How about "Nethack: By Grabthar's Hammer, You Shall Be Avenged!" ?

So long, and thanks for all the filesystems.
Your MPs must be smarter than our congressmen.

Good idea! Let's combine that with ubiquitous voice-over-IP and lose this old-skool point-to-point telephony network altogether.

The IBMgraphics option, or -ibm on the command line.

Amusingly enough, your post was rated at 3 when I saw it!

It's a bit too expensive. Compuquick's quoting them for $550, just for a motherboard! Yikes.
Wearing outlandish shirts, or ripped jeans shows or suggests that you don't care about your appearance.
No, it shows that your appearance values differ from the norm. That makes outsiders nervous about how your other values might differ.
Just for the record, you are an assclown.

How sweet. And you think you can speak for the majority because....?
Your anger is *delicious*!
"The idea of an "invisibility cloak" has made the leap from science fiction books to an international patent application.
<sarcasm>
That's supposed to be a leap? Somebody hasn't been keeping up with patents lately....
</sarcasm>
I sure hope you're wrong.
Mmmm.... Anna Kournikova....
