Other way around: Merchant's War was written 30 or so years later by Pohl alone after the tragic early death of Kornbluth. Haven't read it myself: any good?
Isn't this quote technically by Graham Greene, who wrote the screenplay for The Third Man? Not entirely sure, as rumors abound that Welles "added" quite a bit to the film (both in terms of script and direction).
The Old School Cartoon Network already exists in some markets. it's called "Boomerang" and is entirely made up of Turner's Hannah-Barberra library (including Thundarr!).
And in an ideal world this would be Linus himself. Calm, intelligent, and reasonable (and kinda dishy too!). But he's got better stuff to do, or so he claims...
"The guy ran off with the money," says Gene Clark, a computer consultant in East Brunswick, N.J., who says he paid Mr. Richardson $700 for four porcelain mice that never arrived
I principle I am sympathetic, and just that much more suspicious of online auctions.
But in secret I'm laughing my ass off at the image of a angry rampaging mob of porcelain figurine collectors. To each his own I guess...
See my reply to Cpt. Kangarooski below: I didn't really make it clear that I was rewriting the post I was replying to, not making a valid legal point (hence the subject "How to actually say it").
I'm getting the impression that "Best Animated Feature" is going to be skewed towards kid/family friendly pieces. That's mainly what the big studios make, unfortunately.
I love the woman at the end of the article, who basically doesn't care if people percieve her as a spammer. She really needs to check out the BS is a moron Spammer site. These things do not stay isolated anymore: if the wrong person gets pissed at you TONS of people are going to find out.

Hello, J. Random Luser here, speaking for my community. What we find hardest is not learning a CLI, but one of those godawful "this is mostly a CLI but you have to use the mouse in these two or three unintuitive places." Guess what I mean is the above is correct, but adding a transitional step (a GUCLI if you will) is more confusing than a clean break. My thoughts, anyway.
Good reading for those seeking the myths behind the Middle Earth is Kalevala [amazon.co.uk] which is the saga and tales of the Finnish people
Good point but one thing to remember is that Kalevala is more along the lines of "Bullfinch's Mythology": a modern (19th century) telling of Finnish folktales. The collector's name was Lonnrott if memory serves. So you're not dealing with a primary source the way one is with Beowulf or the some of the Icelandic sagas.
Yes and no. Let me expand a little: there's stuff about being black in Dhalgren that didn't "ring true" to me, a seventeen year old suburban white kid at the time (still white and suburban, just older now). I then assumed Delany was white, which was racist in and of itself ("Black people don't write science fiction.") So my dismissal of the book as racist took the form "Samuel Delany, you as a white person, don't know what black people feel, and what they might do in a given situation."
Isn't a racist thought, idea, or statement "racist" in and of itself?
Nope. There's a great illustration of this in the movie "Down to Earth" with Chris Rock. There's a scene where Rock's soul, in the body of a white man does a routine at a black comedy club. What would be social commentary coming from a black comedian sounds like a racist diatribe coming from a white one. Content is not the absolute of all information. Sometimes the delivery system is important too.
Oh I have to disagree there. Dhalgren is a rough, nasty and hard to follow book, but is one of the more interesting sci-fic looks at gender in society (and society in the face of it's own collapse). Yeah, it's not for everyone, tho'.
One funny aside: when I read Dhalgren the first time I didn't know Delany was black, assumed he was white, and dismissed it as "very racist."
People frequently use blocking and filtering software and programs to stick with the like-minded, not explore the different or experience other points of view.

IIRC, Mark David Chapman had a copy on him when he killed John Lennon.
Howzabout instant textbook updates, rather than the 10+ years old texts being used in some areas now?
Pac-Man had no music during gameplay (just the "waka-waka" eating noise).
I now officially feel very old and very pedantic.
