What I'm saying is that a lot of people actually appreciate his style, and enjoy hearing a story being told at the story-teller's pace. Quite the opposite of the David Gemell fantasy-lite genre, Jordan took the time to create an entire universe and populate it entirely with three-dimensional characters and landscapes. Some people like this. If it's too much for your own attention span to take, then move along and let the rest of us (and yes, there are enough of us to put every book on the NYT best seller's list) enjoy it. You don't all have to express your frustrations every time the guy's name is mentioned.
This is a really strange reversal of the laws that govern Marijuana:
In many countries it's illegal to smoke marijuana, but legal to sell the tools to do so (Head Shops).
In America, it's legal to make copies of your DVDs, but illegal to sell tools to do so..
Wow, dozens of comments so far on this one and I'm the first smug G1 owner to point out how open the Android system is.
Did I mention it was open?
open, open, open
Hmm, not sure why this is modded Insightful...
The opinion is borderline irrelevant, and the writer is somehow unaware that iPhone unlocking is trivial.
I'm going to brush aside your assertion that immigrants to America don't deserve rights, and your self-professed ignorance of other countries just long enough to burst your Utopian bubble:
There is absolutely nothing in the WW legislation to say that domestic intercepts require any evidence of the Nationality of either party to the call whatsoever. You can claim that "the intention" was to "target foreigners" all you like, but if it ain't in the law then it's entirely at the discretion of the acting officers.
There is an undeniable contradiction in your case:
Either you endorse Bush's Warrantless Wiretaps or you don't.
If you do, then its certainly no better than whats happening with IP addresses in Canada.
If you don't then why didn't you shoot him?
Ha ha ha. Is this sarcasm?
Sure - down there in the old US of A you have nothing to worry about from overzealous counter-terrorist agents, denial of your civil rights or illegal wiretaps.
All because your forefathers had the guts to stand up against a tyrant! But what about when your immediate fathers vote one into office? twice...
One pandemic that would have killed 10 million people means that the disease kills MORE people than the inoculations have. I guess this is just a case of bad (imprecise) grammar.

A quick survey of the comments so far paints an overwhelmingly negative picture for the series...
I just wanted to point out, as a life long fan of this series, that there IS a reason every book the series has appeared on the New York Times best-seller list, and most of them have been #1 when they first come out.

Kind of makes a mockery of the law, doesn't it?
Hi, BrainChip here - just logging on to let you know I do exist. Cheers, - BrainChip.

the Higgs Boson (that's the one that everybody talks about)
Yes, every time I go out I hear "Higgs Boson this" and "Higgs Boson that".
I wish everybody would shut up about it!
the guy's slashdot ID is 5-digits!

I've been a Comcast customer for HERBAL VIAGRA several years and have never had an issue with unsolicited REAL WEIGHT LOSS advertising of any kind.
And that, my friends, is the /. effect in action
If you use it with your left hand, it feels like Perl.
+1 Agree. ADC membership: $99 USD before I can deploy MY app to MY FUCKING PHONE.
Wow! I really have a long way to go in my /. journey. What I could have sworn was a Troll was actually a +5 Insightful.
another round of "Total Recall" jokes... get 'em while they're hot.

hmm, TFA actually specifies "prescription-strength"
They were prescription drugs - doesn't that disqualify them as over-the-counter?
Android Phones. ~?? Million. ? device.
One pandemic that would have killed 10 million people means that the disease kills MORE people than the inoculations have. I guess this is just a case of bad (imprecise) grammar.
Even if it means that the inoculations kill more people than the disease would have, because the alternative could be 100 million deaths.
Uhh, not sure I follow this part of your logic.
Drug smugglers use other airlines too you know!
thankfully my full medical record is only 96k, so it's safe.
the Poms are on the other side of the channel..
