Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

BYE
I will break your bones.
Yeah I saw that too.
The Kindle 2's price was lowered to $299. I really don't think I'd buy many electronic books. Maybe newspapers.
king: way too large
queen: probably too large, just on the brink... but too expensive, even if it'd fit
full: no point; while wider than a twin, it's not longer than a twin, and the length is the most annoying part of getting a twin.
So, twin or twin x-tra long. Seems the x-tra long is a little uncommon in big box stores, is more expensive, and doesn't have as many readily available sheets and stuff. On the plus side, it would give me plenty of room to stretch my legs. A regular twin is narrow and short, but whatever it's cheap.
So I'm thinking either twin or queen if it'd fit and I see a good deal. I figure if I'm going to pay more for a longer bed I might as well pay a little more if I can get more width too. I probably can't though. But in any case: 85% likelihood of buying twin, 10% of buying queen, 5% of buying twin x-tra long.
Buy them again.
Do you have 1984, Fahrenheit 451, or Brave New World?
We were talking about The Count of Monte Cristo yesterday, I like that book a lot.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld?
I know a trilogy of books that involves Middle Eastern transexual prostitutes in the future!?

twin extra long is what college dorms have, so during back to school season there are a lot more twin extra long sheet sets in stores
Kevin J Anderson wrote very good Star Wars novels.
...what's that last one now
Speaking of Jump Leads books, I'll be selling them at this year's Comic-Con. If anyone here is going to be there, let me know who you are when you pop by the booth and I'll shave a couple of bucks off the asking price.
I haven't read any of his or Herbert's son's books so you can't incite fury in me.
Desktop is an imac. Doesn't work that way.
What series is this?
It's the Marid Audran trilogy by George Alec Effinger. They're cyberpunk novels set in the Middle East and there are a lot of transsexual prostitutes. The first book is When Gravity Fails.
It's wonderful!

It takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy where numerous races mingle together. There's a galaxy spanning Internet with a Usenet-like mailing list and the Milky Way Galaxy is divided into Zones of Thought which determines what kind of technology can be used. For example Earth is located in a lower zone of thought and that is why we can't have FTL travel or transhuman artificial intelligences. There are things called Powers, basically transcended super-intelligent beings and all kinds of crazy shit!
if I were you I'd get a full or queen
oh, my
He's my favorite.
I find queen to be quite comfortable for 2 people.
nah, I'm just sucking at doing stuff right now
I told him I didn't wanna ruin the friendship
Basically I guess if I pay for a twin x-tra long I'll be mad because I'll be shelling out more dough and only gaining leg room but if I pay for a full I'll be even more mad because I'll be shelling out more dough and only gaining width which I care about less than leg room.
Optimally I want leg room and rolling around room (width) but shit that's money and a lot of space in my room.

t medo: thanks for your advice.
Best places to start: Trader to the Stars, Earth Book of Stormgate or Ensign Flandery.
I have read a lot of sci-fi over the years. Just about everything every written by Herbert (which is a lot more then Dune), Heinlein, Asimov (even his 1000+ page volume of commentary on Shakespeare) etc... and I think Poul Anderson is probably the best sci-fi author of all time.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO SIG THIS. DEAR GLOD, SOMEBODY NEED TO SIG THIS.
EDIT:Done
