I had read some Sci-Fi before Hyperion, but that really gave me the love for SF. The way Simmons creates new plot lines over the old ones is great. Also I like the sometimes really dark storylines and the idea of Shrike is great. Thanks to Hyperion, I bought Iain M. Banks's Consider Phlebas, which I found in a second-hand bookshop. It has a little of the same touch as Hyperion and I'm really pissed off now, because living somewhere as remote as Finland, I just cant get a hold on more of his books.
The things I think makes good SF is a nice mix of Science and Fiction. A book based entirely on Science is really rather boring and a book with no Science is just fantasy. Then, there are always the ones like Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, but thats more like comedy built on SF. I've also tried to read some classics, like the Dune series, but most of them turned out to be a little too heavy for me.
Not only possible, but quite probable, too. Most of the people everywhere wouldn't have any idea of which
is the Big A. So I think this is an acceptable act from Apple. Otherwise there'd be a lot of people sending emails, phoning, faxing etc. to the wrong firm.
Oh really. And how would you know that? Would you happen to be all-knowing? If you don't have anything sensible to say you could as well shut up. You're only trafficking Slashdot with those kinds of messages.
Personal preference, inability to use a very basic piece of software... lol. Personal preference comes from knowing that I can't use any windows for over an
hour without getting an error. Inability to use windows... sure. By your comments, I'd believe you have some older brother who takes care of any problems concerning computers. Or then you have some kind of an enhanced windows with no bugs at all. Which I in turn find hard to believe.
I'm all in for headphones because they keep other sounds out better than any stereo set, but the difference with the monitor is (on my opinion) clearly seen. Ever since I changed my 15 inch into a 19 inch i've felt gaming becoming more pleasant.
Also I've always had problems with using laptop keyboards.
First of all, I wouldn't really talk about being childish, if I posted stuff like http://www.iamreallyboredandIhavenothingbettertodo thantocriticizeMSevery5minutes.com. Then, i've got Windows XP and Redhat Linux on my computer and when I
compare the bugs/hour theres a tremendous difference.
For example, last week my XP destroyed it's own boot files and I had to work on it about an hour to get them back so... I prefer Linux.

The problem is that nothing ive ever seen coming from MS has been good, so I think that if this "One Program" drives all other choices into utter destruction, well have nothing but buggy MS hardware
available to us.
