City on the Edge of Forever. The best Star Trek episode was written by Harlan.
Watch it on video, it will break your heart. Then get Harlan's book by the same title. If you don't like to hear Harlan's ranting, then just read the original screenplay.
The rant in a nutshell, Rodenberry changed Harlan's original work and lied about the reasons why. (standard for hollywood)
I will say again, that COTHEOF was _the_ best of the original Star Trek stories, the original screenplay makes the star trek episode look like amateur night.
If you like star trek, you will become an instant ellison fan.
(BTW, after seeing the evidence on the baen site, i have to aggree with those guys, and respectfully disagree with harlan. But i'll still buy and read harlan's books)
Just got done downloading RC1 and I see the announcement of a/.ed set of mirrors!
Any thoughts on this...
Before I make a couple of coasters, should I just burn the RC's and forget about the final, or should I wait a couple of days and get the final?
Thanks!
wherin I'll specify the language to get it done in!
The spec's are useless. What is the project? Database Application? Try SQL....Have to modify the bank's software...COBOL...Must integrate with M$Office...VB/VC++ may be your best bet. Lotus Notes App....LotusScript...
You said portable, so why were you considering anything from Microsoft? VB/C# currently only run on Windows. VC++ is C++ until you start using COM/MFC, which kills the portability.
The question was like saying "I want to work with wood...what tool should I use?" Figure out the project ("Drive in a Screw") and the answer will become obvious("Hatchet")
