Just an FYI, but Tor books is an imprint under the Holtzbrinck Publishing Group, a non-publicly traded, GINORMOUS publishing company based out of Stuttgart, Germany. Tor itself is organized as a LLC, and would have to be purchased in its entirety from the parent. I only know this because I...

You'll enjoy this page. It points to those pieces of fiction that seem to have been inspired in some way by Dune: List of fiction inspired by Dune http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fiction_inspired_by_Dune

I like it too...so far.

Wait, I'm still trying to figure out how Lucas ripped-off Dune. I've read Dune backwards and forwards, as well as the sequels. Star Wars is an iconic story taken from large chunks of myth, legend and other adventure and fantasy works. Lucas took liberally from every story about a boy/warrior...

Hey, at least it's better than Mutant X! Of course, so is getting dental work done without any painkillers.

It's growing on me. The most recent episode seemed to have better pacing, and it looks like Heroes is picking up some speed. The characters don't appear to be young, WB (excuse me, the new CW) types. The cop and the Congressman aren't going through any growing pains certainly. Nobody, however...

Wrath.

Kids, teachers, etc. can pray all they want. A SCHOOL itself cannot initiate or actively introduce a program of religious prayer or services of any kind because the implied separation of Church and State. The government cannot espouse one religion over another (or those who don't have a...

Mexican Stud, Texas Hold'Em and most any variation of poker. Blackjack's fun too. Drinking games involving cards used to be more fun when I could hold my liquor better.

I agree. Don't know if it will succeed, but Microsoft has a better understanding of mobile technology (due to their software support of Palms, etc.) going into it than they had of consoles when they went into that market. This will allow them to compete more than many will think. Besides, they...

Technical Writer at a small software company.

Mine was the Sierra classic, King's Quest II. Although, prior to that I was really into Lemonade Stand and 21 on the Apple IIe, and Ghostbusters on the Commodore 64.

I'm a huge Yankee fan, but I have to say I rooted for the 86' Mets too (since they played the Red Sox in the Series). I also watch the NY Rangers, Knicks and Giants.

You know we did...it's been all too quiet without ya!

I'm not going to kill you Prince, but what you write you do without understanding the scope of what happened to those of us who either witnessed the events firsthand, or lost someone directly to the attacks. Since then, whatever your beliefs on the matter, America and the world has plunged...

I remember every single moment of that day, so I five year milestone doesn't seem to change much except I am a bit taken aback about how much time has passed. I remember that I woke up later than I had wanted to because I had been planning on visiting the Borders bookstore in the World Trade...

Thank you all. Though I'm nearer to death, I've got a good few years left.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but I assume you were stating that Lucasarts stopped allowing Bioware from making KOTOR 3? This, of course, isn't true as Bioware relinquished KOTOR 2 to Obsidian anyway long before because they wanted to go forward with their own franchises, such as Jade...

I guess since it's that time of year, but I thought of a story that I've heard over and over again for the last five years: On 9/11, Harry Ramos "head equity trader May Davis Group, helped lead his co-workers to safety. But he stayed behind to comfort a man he hardly knew. "The last time...

It wasn't entirely Obsidian's fault. They were under time constraint pressures from Lucasarts who apparently pushed real hard to get the title out by Christmas (forgetting, perhaps, that the first KOTOR was a bestseller that came out during the SUMMER). While I enjoyed the mechanics of the game...
