As a long-time Tom Robbins fan I can say he wrote one book entirely in the Second Person; Half Alseep in Frog Pajamas. An interesting read, not my favourite of his books and certainly not for everyone. As far as genres I'm sure that is true.
A Selection from the Recently Discovered Jack Kerouac Choose-Your-Own-Adventure, Bop Affirmation, c. 1955
You're trudging in the riverbottom sand when zoooom, there goes a flatbed truck and you're suddenly on the back of the truck with two Nebraska farm boys and you're weeping, "Y-e-e-e-e-e-e-s," yes to the blue swing swing of the Bird, yes to Charlie Parker, that shimmering saxophone, yes to the original mind, yes to this uncompromising romp through the heartland, you who labored on the railroad with crimson sun on your back, you who know the palabra, you who look right into the blowin' breeze and cry and moan and shout
AND...
a. Discover a rainbow.
b. Go off to pick oranges with the Mexican girl.
c. Sing in a rising crescendo, "Y-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-s."
I've downloaded them on occasion because of my intense aversion to human beings. I'm sure there are plenty of 'legitimate' reasons to download bootlegged movies, just offering mine up.
Based on the posts here alone, I'd say the $3000 estimate is quite low for 7 of 9's jumpsuit. I predict it will sell for close to the same as Picard's first season jumpsuit.. To some rich, salivating pervert. No offense to any of those types, I quite enjoyed the enticing parts of all the Trek installments!
Ever watched the Colbert report? He trips over his own words almost nightly, no matter what the subject matter or context. It's just part of the Colbert charm by now. During 'The Word' segment earlier in the week he stopped to curse and laugh at himself over it. It's been hit or miss, when for a while it seemed he had gotten over it. Granted he did seem a tad nervous in this video, that's my take.
Musicians and programmer types know repetitive stress better than anyone I'd say. I found Desktop Yoga to be a great set of excercises to start the day and get the wrists / arms / shoulders loose and relaxed. I don't work a desk job but the majority of the excercises can be done sitting down without drawing attention to oneself.
And above that, it's only if you choose to upgrade to a 'Sponsored+' account. Those of us continuing to use our plain old free accounts will be unaffected.
You've summed it up well, Ebert chose a definition that suited his preferred medium much more than games. There are a myriad of definitions for art out there, and the most important (IMHO) would be the definitions given by the artists themselves. I guess the real question would be whether the makers of various video games consider themselves artists in any capacity.
Just my 2 as a musician and visual artist of 10+ years.
Good call, and I'd take that further to say that as many games these days are fine art as movies. Not many, but as least some. Silly debate as debating on the nature of art usually is.
They must have surveyed all the guys in a golf club lounge or something.
That, or any WoW server. It's quite lucrative having tits in a MMORPG if you choose to exploit it. Nobody would lie in an online survey after all, god forbid!
Could that be another Duhmerican confusing his country with "the world"?
I have not the slightest idea what marshmallows are and neither do most of my compatriots.
Any excuse to flame America eh? I don't live in India yet I know their national currency, major religions and languages. I don't live in Australia but I've tasted Vegemite and even know that Foster's is Australian for beer! We're a global community, with all the benefits and drawbacks that come along with it. How GP got modded funny is beyond me, too much Easter chocolate?
Make sure QuickTime is set as your player for your basic formats (a new Flash installation can overwrite these defaults.) This should prevent you from needing to open IE to view QuickTime videos (I've had this problem quite a few times myself.)
Untrue, I've legitimate copies of 3 MS operating systems. I'm a 25 year old home user, and I'll admit I've pirated plenty of software in my day but I just can't be bothered with black market versions of something I rely on every day.

It's worth noting one of the screenshots has the word 'fake' in it, and to quote an anonymous poster on the forum these were posted on
'I don't want to burst any bubbles, but I just thought I'd mention that these are certainly not screenshots of KDE in developement. These are just ideas posted as mockup, some of which have been around for a long time'
Ubuntu will be on par with with WindowsXP for user-friendliness when it doesnt take 4 hours to figure out how to make X display the proper monitor resolutions in Gnome (among other random frustrations). Don't get me wrong, I've been enjoying learning / configuring a Linux system, but the average computer user would have given up in the first 30 minutes and booted back up to XP.

Brief overview of mechanical royalty rates for songwriters here
9.1 cents per song, per unit (minimum, negotiable naturally) as of Jan 1st, 2006.
This must be that innovation we heard about over here. Because uh, games based on movies are so FRESH!

Oh sorry, wasn't thinking. I don't have any online friends.

5 posts, new record? Hopefully this will actually find practical use enriching people's lives (ie. the blind etc.) not just as military tech.

Don't forget all the juicy occasions this thread will provide for Canadians to show off our cultural inferiority complex.
hmph.
My mistake, one of the screenshots certainly is from gnome. butn 1co.jpg is definitely KDE. and the entire article is at

Apologies for that, but the coral cache wasn't working great.
KDE makes me want to log out of Linux, but that's just my opinion. Here's some of the better pictures from the forum post that seems unresponsive atm. Gogo google-cache.s 31jm.png

" Put the bong down, and pull up your pants " was my first thought on reading that title.

Who says it won't be ? Who will stop them from using it on anyone they please.. You trust the government ? I don't.
