holy shit. Mine was RATM's 'Wake Up' this was just after I saw the matrix and though thatclsoing track was incredible.
still using The Amp. Llama tested, Mother approved.
I don't care what they switch too, at some point between the CD and my speakers the music will have to be decoded and when that happens I'll be there with patch wires and super High quality recording gear...
I'm too am not a great fan of Sterling's Fiction. I never said the man was good, I finished Distraction but didn't finish Heavy Weather.His none fiction is cool though.
The point is you've heard of the man and have an opinion based on having read him. Our friend above belives all Sci-Fi is "not meaningful" and he bases this opinion on having read Satre, Fulkner and Hemingway
(which is not Sci-Fi for those of you irony deprived.)
A picture of water would have been great. But aside from proven that the camera works how is this picture of martian rocks different from the many other pictures of Martian rocks we've already seen. They could have atleast landed near that thing that looks like a giant face.
Photo sharing doesn't just hurt the big companies like Kodak and Fuji, it hurts the little guy like me Manny Elkins. I push that button that says 'START' on the developing machine at Walmart that always makes your pictures come out dark...
The iPod mini is smaller. A LOT smaller. And thinner. I wouldn't be surprised if the battery life was better. It's solid state, so you can jog with it.
I believe this is Apple's market. People who can't be bothered to read the product literature and assume new and smaller is better...
That kind of attitude infuriates me to no end. I could say the same thing about Romance. That its only fluff and then proceed to feel superior, but I haven't read very much romance so i don't know for sure.
I've read all the people you just listed above and I happen to be re-reading Satre's Nauseau (existentialism isn't a niche?) as we speak, and there are Sci-Fi writers who meet and exceed them in talent and skill.
You can sit and pish posh about Stephenson not being serious literature, but until you read Ursula LeGuin, Delaney's 'Dhalgren' any other of many other truly great Sci-Fi, Fantasy and other 'niche' books out there you have no basis for comparison.
you can't be bookworm and never have heard of Sterling. He and Gibson started Cyberpunk. I bet you've never heard of Octavia Butler, Samuel Delaney, or Stanislaw Lem eithier. How about Neal Stephenson?
But I bet you've heard of John Grisham and Micheal Critchon...
Its not that I've heard of every writer, not even the really good ones. Just don't declare yourself something unless you're prepared to back it up, and remember there's always google.
OT again but since/. doesn't seem to have a PM feature...
your link doesn't work but if you're talking about Morgan's other books they aren't available in US yet, maybe that'll change when they start making the Altered Carbon movie. For now your only recourse is ordering them from Amazon.co.uk, which I'm going to do when I order my textbooks next year.
Inara might be hot, but there is something special about a woman who can diagnose the engine problems of a ship she never seen before while on the floor on her back getting plowed...
for this alone it deserves recognition. Every other sci-fi show or movie out there has the do the big laser battles thing. Every single one tosses physics out the window so they can have Tie-Fighters screaming by and super big explosions. Firefly alone does a space battle the way it should be done. Untterly quiet and creepy. The scene from 'Our Mr. Reynolds' with Jayne firing his gun inside of a spare spacesuit (Because duh, explosions require oxygen) was awesome.
Throw on top of that great writing and characters with depth, and you've got one of the best shows of the last decade. But there will always be people who write it off as a space western, so I suggest you see for yourself. Download and ep or two and if you like it buy the boxset.
The laser blaster (The Lasider?) in Trash never worked. What show did have though were non lethal sonic guns, carried by Alliance security personnel. Pretty damn cool.
I completely agree. Hulk wasn't bad, it was just to artsy. If Banner didn't turn green and huge, and the budget was ten times as less and it premeired at sundance you would be heraring different things all together...
I don't know who's bright idea it was to hire Ang Lee anyway. Probably some idiot producer who thought Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was ABOUT kung-fu fighting.

Its pretty much a given that when lawyers get involved, usually the only people who profit are lawyers.
ust keep finding them lost epiusodes every couple months...

I wasn't aware that they had ever gone down.

seriously though I'm all for the space program, but jeez something a little more interesting please...

thats not a very compelling arguement...
no. they had first shot and turned it down because they had Battlestar Galactica in the works. There's talk of a movie though

come on man. an AC troll posts the classic "is this really news for nerds?" question on every other post. Just ignore em.
rofl. Why are these Mplayer guys such assholes?

yeah I noticed that too. seriously, that aint right!
can't really say I'm impressed.
