Many Dark Tower fans praise Wizard and Glass as the best of the series. And most fans will agree that there are many unanswered questions at the end of Dark Tower VII, so any exposition, even a comic book, is most welcome. I did not like the way Randall Flagg was handled at all. The "resolution" of his story clashed jarringly with everything that was known about Maerlyn, and about what kind of creature he was ("His name is Legion. He is the King of Nowhere.") There is a lot missing about the nature of the Guardians, Maturin especially. Most of all, the connections with other books aren't satisfactorily resolved.. for instance, It... is It simply a glammer, a vampire, or something more? Is It the Crimson King himself, and is Black Thirteen the object that It arrived in? Are the Deadlights what everyone thinks they are? What is the connection between The Mist and the Dark Tower series? And what are the names of the rest of the Guardians, besides Shardik and Maturin?
It's good to know that that bastion of moderate and civil political discourse, UC Berkeley, has issued a polemic on whether Bush got a couple hundred thousand imaginary votes in Florida. UC Berkeley is known for the ability of its student body to find some middle ground, despite the Manichean divide separating the half of the University population on the extreme left, and the other half on the far left.
Just because no human in the Star Trek world saw the face of a Romulan during the whole length of the war, does not mean that we in the audience can't see the face of a Romulan during the whole length of the movie. I think they call that "Dramatic Irony".
McBride: "IBM and Red Hat have painted a Linux liability target on the backs of their customers."
backstab, tr.v.: To attack (someone) unfairly, especially in an underhand, deceitful manner: "Some backstab each other and threaten to settle their differences with a punch" (Thomas Boswell).
The problem is that most of these bands put out one good or great album, for which they receive enormous exposure, but follow-up albums are substantially less impressive (Alanis Morissette). This is particularly common with bands that have a particular sound or style that works, but then don't vary that sound or style at all. Then there are bands that could have been great, but broke up because they couldn't agree on what their sound should be (GNR). If a band can constistently put out good music, it doesn't matter how much exposure they get; people will still want to buy their records (U2).
I wish that journals writing about the benefits of free software would stop promoting low cost or cost savings as the primary, or even the only, benefit.
What are the odds that nearly a dozen biochemists would die in one way or another over a period of five months, and that an article would appear in the New York Times proclaiming that it wasn't a conspiracy?
Must be a nice change from selling Jesus Rocks. If you watch USA on cable late nights you might catch one of his infomercials for these things.
"The stones are not only symbols of Jesus' birth, sacrifice, death and resurrection, they offer a direct connection to Him," said Ricardo Montalban, actor and spokesperson for Nativity Stones. "I cherish my Nativity Cross and ornament for helping me be close to Jesus Christ. My faith in Him has always been a great comfort to me."
The story on these things is that according to these people Jesus was actually born in a cave instead of in a shed or whatever, and these rocks are from that cave.

Looks like they did it again, got AOL Time Warner scrambling and they pulled the plug. (Same thing happened with Gnutella, remember?)

Take the test twice; get ~900 the first time, then give it your best shot for a 1400+ the second time. Step two: wait for the phone call.
