Interesting. So they ate corn mash prior to the introduction of donuts?

Yes, I remember that. Still wasting mental energy trying to figure out what was 'tech' about that story. One of the site founders defended his editorial decision to include stories from the Daily Mail. Very low editorial quality control. He basically said, if I have a problem with that then I should submit my own stories. The implication being that they will accept anything! I hope they get better, but they are off to a really bad start...

They will need your credit card information to make you pay for your rendition flight.

I would have thought that the main advantage would be either mountain or valley fold.

Problem is, Soylent News is even worse shite than Slashdot. Hideously ugly to look at too.

Previous flights show the route passes consistently over Ukraine, so AC I don't get what you are saying. The July 18 map shows the flight stops over Romania which is south of the previous routes so I'm not sure what you are getting at. These Flight Ware maps are probably not accurate at all.

Sitting at my desk...drowsy. Can this seat do my work for me? And also fail to read summaries and post comments on Slashdot? zzzzzzzzzzz

Correct. Give a man water and he will not be thirsty. Teach a man to fish and...ah no, that's not it...

Thanks AC for a good laugh. Who is this 'us' you refer to?...and you are clearly not very well informed about music. There is no Dubstep on my site - and need I say, there was nothing but your own nerd rage that compelled you to visit the website. You didn't have to. Have a nice day! Now I must remember not to feed the trolls.

Fair enough. It wouldn't be my regular genre but for actual good quality writing in the fantasy/science fiction genres I would recommend anything by Iain M. Banks and his His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman. I don't compare books. I judge them on their own merits and Game of Thrones (the first few chapters of the First Book anyway) is not well written, not interesting or intelligent. It is lowest common denominator pot boiler dreck. Need I add 'IMHO'? If you dislike either of the authors I mentioned, feel free to make a spirited attack. It is no skin off my nose.

Ha, ha. Can't stand to have your pet book/TV series criticized?

Oh, I thought maybe it was the same as taking a dump in a policeman's helmet.

Tried to read the first book. Barely literate drivel. Pathetic. Thought the TV adaptation might be an improvement based on all of the glowing reviews. Watched a couple of episodes of the first season. Utter, utter shite. Oh it looks nice, but there is nothing beneath the gloss and sheen.

I never said anything about whether he was wealthy or not.

Anybody understand what he said?
