I was wondering what they were, as they certainly are arbitrary. (What does italicized font add to the number: a half point, or just a personal note that you were on a higher dose at the time? )

I really didn't like Catch-22 that much. And I disagree that it has become "the dominant myth about Americans in the war against fascism," too. It was okay, and well worth reading, but I got really, really bored before the end. And I don't think that it speaks to every citizen of the USA, and I don't think it is regarded that highly by them, either. Just finished The Art of War (Sun-Tzu and translated by John Minford).

What did you enjoy about it? I.e. where did you "escape" to? Weren't you pretending that you might be able to solve problems in an immediate and simple manner, like Riggs does, rather than have to compromise or appeal to authority? Surely you are enjoying imagining having the powers of a character like Riggs ... in other words enjoying being a "loner out to save the world".

Let's hope there isn't a delay.

:Moved: I didn't see anyone being electrocuted.

Pretty cool graphics.

I think we should form a Customers For Polite Customers Vigilante Taskforce! The CfPC!

Does too. About the fifth one. Some little boy burnt to death. You might want to check the wiki, too.

Actually, customers don't have to respect other customers ... I've seen what people (and I use the word advisedly) are like on the first day of the sales ...

Hey, you didn't say you were in frame: that's gonna cost LC a lens! "

google is your friend

I will have to go out and get it. I was just thinking in the shower, yesterday (I do that a lot), how D&D would be a great tool for teachiung mathematics.

Let's not throw around such emotionally-charged words, please.

Only a modded XBox would be able to play the Restoration mod; best bet is to play it on the PC.

I thought they were Japanese?

... Or "Where's the other half of my flipping drink!?"

Hee hee, if we use Australia as a model, then exiling people is a great idea!

I remember reading Lies, Inc. all the way through before finding out that someone else had written the completely jarring page (sixty-two or -three, from memory) instead of PKD.

I'm just downloading it, too ... "

Dystopia is a Cyberpunk Half-Life 2 mod. It is a modification set to a future battle between Punk Mercenaries (Punks) and Corporate Security Forces (Corps).

Do we get to choose if we are the hacking XBox 360, or do we automatically take the role of the slasher PS3 in the fight to the death? Will the fate of all PS3s and Xbox 360s hang in the balance until the fight is concluded? What weapons does a next-gen console use: smoke and mirrors? "

A underrated classic. :D

You realise that even supposing the minuscule chance that your path might have crossed that of Ms Beckinsale, your behaviour will only serve to ensure that she runs as fast as possible away from you, don't you?

I think there are lots of desert islands that could be used for exiling such animals, too.

Asimov did it better about forty years ago, when he was explaining why it didn't matter whether we use meters or miles.
