Several recommendations for Frank Miller books, and I gotta say, maybe skip them. The original Dark Knight wasn't too bad, and his collected Daredevil might be okay, but he started getting political and just weird (not in a good way). The last Dark Knight series was technically kind of interesting but I had to quit, it turned to shit very soon. There are authors and artists that care about story and art. Strangers in Paradise by Terry Moore is very good, and his follow on stuff was interesting too, like Rachel Rising (horror) and Echo (sci-fi, not quite as good but still good). Watchmen deserves its place on any list, and I found League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (also by Alan Moore) fun. Picking individual bits out of Marvel or DC can be good as well. The original Infinity Gauntlet (I think that's what it's called) was good (by Starlin and Perez). For fun, people mentioned Asterix, and I'd suggest Groo the Wanderer (by Aragones) as well. Personally I like anything by Jack Kirby: original Fantastic Four, Kamandi, New Gods. These are all things that stores are likely to have, so easy to try out. Heck, my local libraries have a bunch of collections and graphic novels on the shelves.

I've had a number of places in other countries send me emails for golf tee times, telling me my car was fixed or that they were turning me down for a loan. But this kind of triggered something. Used to get calls from teens calling some girl. She'd probably given them the wrong number as they couldn't take a hint, or maybe they just couldn't dial correctly (the days before cell phones). Most of the calls went something like "Is Mary there?" "No she isn't." "Do you know when she'll be back?" "Sorry, no." "Thanks." It was a bonus because technically I wasn't lying, Mary, whoever she was, was not there, and I had no idea when she might be back. Mostly they didn't call more than a time or two.

I think people here are not understanding exactly what this "comment" page is. It's not just a forum, like /., that anyone can post to anonymously. You have to enter name, address, phone number and email address, and the comments are made public. It's an "official" comment, for some values of "official". Of course you can likely fake most or all of the info you put in, but it's not quite as lame as being an online troll. And the process for getting there is somewhat obtuse, so having Last Week Tonight's link to get there (gofccyourself.com) is a great help.

I was going to answer, but became suspicious because I'd already answered the polls: What was you mother's maiden name? and What was your first pet? Nice try, scammer! I'm not going to fall for it this time. Oh, and my favorite sci-fi movie was 2001 A Space Odyssey.

I paid $3000 for it, happily, because I was going to learn everything about it. It had two (two!) 5 1/4 floppy drives, maybe 64K ram, and a green phosphor monitor. Along the way I upgraded to color graphics (16 colors!), a 10 MB hard drive to replace one of the floppies, and an 8086 CPU which was 10% faster than the 8088 it came with. I added or replaced all the chips myself, borrowing a chip puller and inserter from work. CPU fan? We don't need no stinking CPU fan. Fun times.

These Swedes aren't going to make me take a test before I can go to the bathroom, I can tell you that.

"Could this be another new military aircraft that's getting its first tests?" Obviously, it's a UFO. No other possible explanation is possible. At last, proof of aliens! Wow! To think, we're alive at such a time.

Caught in a landslide...

I've said it before. Fuck D-Link and fuck their routers. May they rot in hell.

To include: Most, but not all Plex features are available in today's beta. Some of the missing capabilities include Camera Upload and Offline Sync, though those will come in the future. Other features missing in Plex Cloud include DLNA support, Cloud Sync, Media Optimizer, and the newly launched Plex DVR. Note that Plex Cloud is not a copy of your local Plex server and Plex, as of today, doesn’t mention any type of media migration tool.

Wow! Sounds great!

Like Tic-Tac-Toe. "X", "O", oh fuck, you win. Go again?

Wouldn't it be cool if it was turtles that programmed our simulation? Because, then, you know...

It's not exactly time travel. They go back in time, but only to an alternate universe (according to the comic, ours). So they may not be going back so much as just over, and the other universe is 70 some years behind? Dunno. But hey, it's also a comic book, and liberties are taken sometimes for an interesting story. It is pretty good, I don't get too many comics any more but picked this one up due to Gibson's name and liked it a lot.

Hey, here are some free bullets! I wanted to get them to you as fast as I could, and was sure you'd want them so I didn't ask permission first, so I fired them from my gun at you. No need to thank me!

I read the title and thought that this was being touted as a good thing. "Let strangers send video and text to YOUR kids! Surprise and Delight!"
