Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
I take issue with the viewpoint that one of your characters takes. She says something to the effect of all the works of man are to make a painful hostile universe less painful. While that is a driving force behind technological advancement, there is another force which is just as important: curiosi...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

I am up to chapter six, now, on Teacup, just so you know. I update about once per day, with a new chapter. Each cha...

Re: My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
Out of curiosity, Jennifer, do you enjoy the TV series? Or is it the Conversion Bureau stories that interest you? I absolutely adore the series. Can't get enough of it. It has stolen my soul. Which is pretty nice, actually, since I haven't had my soul properly stolen in some time, and I am relishin...

Re: What I think About (2) LulzSec and Stuxnet
Anarchists.... Anarchy, as a political ideal, is as foolish and naive to me as is Communism or Democracy. More foolish and naive, actually, and more immediately dangerous. All three of these political paradigms seem to be based on a common false belief, a belief proven wrong by the entire history of...

Re: What I think About (2) LulzSec and Stuxnet
Next... If these were agent provacateurs, then the foreign nations and companies affected by them (who would not be in on or bound to uphold American subterfuge) would investigate and find that. And if they were false flags, would they go after private FBI associated security firms? http://gawker.c...

What I think About (2) LulzSec and Stuxnet
Stuxnet: I feel 99.99% certain Stuxnet a weapon of war jointly created by the United States and Israel, specifically for attacking Iraq, but applicable for countless other targets, the most important of which would be generalized terror. In other words, I think Stuxnet was constructed to attack Iraq...

Re: What I think About (1) Extraterrestrials
The reason they look so humanoid is ... they share a common evolutionary ancestor with us. Or rather, a version of a common ancestor, one that split off from our line in some alternate splay . Or 56 or 57 different splays. The ones where hominids evolved a little bit faster, hit the Singularity jus...

What I think About (1) Extraterrestrials
Throughout the history of Man, stories abound of contact with beings from the sky, and the metallic or glowing vehicles they arrive in. Be it the flying Shields of Alexander, the Dogon sky people or even the more recent stories of ships and contact throughout the post-industrial age, the UFO and ali...

Re: My Silly Little Problem
While I am very honored that you would wish a copy of my book, Shenmue, my personal advice is to use your money to help yourself or to get things you need more. It is clear that money is precious to you, and the cost of my book, while as cheap at it is possible to make it (is is essentially at the c...

You are utterly correct. I will not make that mistake again; I do not seem to be the sort of person who can be happy illustrating someone elses story.Verreaux wrote:
Takozushi wasn't a failure in creative writing; You weren't writing it.
Thank you for your kind words, as well.

Also: Do everything you're told to do at least once, even if it's an obviously bad idea. (Save your game first, of course.)

Re: Portal II
I have been playing now for 11 hours, I am probably about 60% through the game, as a rough guess. Maybe 70%, depending on the comments some reviewers have made despite trying to avoid spoilers. No one should give any spoilers for this game: it is too damn good. That is the bottom line - Portal 2 is ...

Re: New GOP Protect Life Act: War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery
The only thing here that might be at all morally-squeamish is the fact that hospitals can elect to transfer the patient to another facility rather than perform an abortion. But if you see this as giving hospitals the right to exercise the religious rights of its staff, this is the only satisfying r...

It is raining outside my door, in Olympia, as it usually does. What is not usual is the radioactive iodine 131 in the rain, which currently is almost certainly at 46 times the allowed level. http://www.pe.com/localnews/stories/PE_News_Local_D_rain06.23ff470.html Actually, that is a lie.
