I would highly recommend it... the first four books (Enders Game, Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind) are much better than the later concurrent-sequel / whatever you would call them books.

As for the original question... no, I cannot think of anything which could be remotely construed as pornographic; and I would rate myself as quite conservative when it comes to that sort of thing. Violence, mature situations, absolutely. I would say that it is appropriate for kids somewhere around 10 - 12+ years, depending on the child in question.

White bread is tasteless, textureless goo; I am all for food to taste good, but whole wheat bread (with extra grains such as flax and whatnot added for texture and taste, as well as nutritional value) is far ahead of white bread. Whenever given the chance, I pick whole wheat over white bread, and am very happy with that choice.

Sure you can:
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a v <File> #make a file / folder visible
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -a V <File> #make a file / folder invisible

Plus a $10 administration fee.

The problem with this (from a manufacturer's POV) is that they cannot differentiate their laptops from others based on form factor. The Macbook Air, for instance, has its sole selling feature that it can fit in an envelope. If it was fit into a standard case, this would either not work, or would work for everyone.

As much as I would love a standard laptop case, I don't see this happening anytime soon... :-(

LASIK doesn't have better outcomes; the success rates for PRK and LASIK are just about identical. However LASIK does give you faster healing. I opted to do PRK for my surgery. Even though it was about a month before I was back to perfect vision, IMHO it was worth it. Since there was no flap cut into my cornea, my eyes are now 100% healed (in fact the eye doctor couldn't even tell that I had had surgery). With LASIK, even though the flap does heal well, it is never 100% as strong as before. As another poster pointed out, though, even the USAF has authorized LASIK surgeries for their pilots for some years, so the differences are minimal. Cheers

Umm, you are off by about 3 orders of magnitude... hint: there are not 7 trillion people on the earth.

I have read all that are at the local library (which I am pretty sure is almost all of them). Highly recommended: he is one of the funniest fantasy writers I have read in a long time, definitely up there with Douglas Adams (and possibly even a bit better; blasphemy, I know!).

Yes, but it will take 2 years and cost three times as much as the white version.

Does Paypal have a 'forgot password' link which sends you the password reset link? If so, reset it.

I think you just found the missing link!

1. 1. Send legal documents to wrong people
2. 2. Sue them for opening said documents
3. 3. Profit!

You can also use + after the name E.g. john.smith+amazon@gmail.com goes to john.smith's account. I use this (among other things like personal domain name, throwaway emails, etc) for reducing spam and telling where someone got my address from. If I get a spam to john.smith+amazon, I know it is Amazon who leaked my details. Cheers
