  1. Nicholas Fisk on Sci-Fi Books For Pre-Teens? · · Score: 1

    I remember loving the "Starstormers" series by Nicholas Fisk... aged around 9 or 10. I don't think it's the most fantastic quality writing, but it was gripping stuff at the time. Building spaceships from junk - what more could you want? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicholas_Fisk#Full_Bibliography_of_Nicholas_Fisk.27s_Works http://darrylslibrary.wordpress.com/category/genres/science-fiction/

  2. Why is Mauritius so bright? on Composite Of Earth At Night · · Score: 1

    What's going on in Mauritius: a giant reflector dish? A stadium? An intense dance scene?

  3. Silent Hill on What Games Have Actually Affected You? · · Score: 1

    Konami's Silent Hill on PSOne. Zombie nurses, blank faced ghost children, omnipresent fog and that chhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh sound from the radio whenever a great big winged demon thing is approaching. Creepy, dark and misty mornings have never looked the same since I played it.

  4. Re:Minority Report on Multi-Touch Keyboard Technology · · Score: 1

    Exactly what I was thinking... the idea of sitting here coding by waving my hands around expressively is pretty appealing.

  5. Brother on Printer Makers' Ploys · · Score: 1

    Brother lasers are cheaper than HPs and my 1440 works beautifully under Linux natively and through Samba, complete with all the functionality in the Windows drivers (manual duplex etc).

  6. Re:What about the friggin' cost on .NETly News · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding? Enterprise .NET *upgrade* edition is US$1079 at Amazon.
