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!

It's got a whole kind of thing that you just don't get post-digital.
I'm reading Norstrilia and it's a gas.

Answer this question honestly
Like sexism m i rite.
You probably still get sexism.
Oh... damn. Self-study will be a bastard, especially if you din't have any of the gear to work with. Set yourself a goal of a chapter a week and you should be done in 3-4 months. Also, I'd get a partner in the office and start studying together.

Seriously. Buy two cheap-ass Cisco 2600 routers off of eBay or Craigslist and set up a sandbox.
Honestly, you've got a whole feminist wave of SF that addresses things much more directly, though sometimes under male pseudonyms. I feel like there are fewer really entertaining social-science SF books nowadays. And the future has ossified, it always looks a bit like Star Trek.

They make emulators for the Cisco hardware. You simply have to supply the right IOS images for it. It's how I did my study way back when.
True. It just worries me when I see things like the resume we got back in '06 that was basically:
'82 College
'82-'87 random jobs, a little tech here and there, not a whole lot
'87-'06 (this space left blank)
'06 MCSE
And when we asked them what drove them to go for the MCSE they answered "I heard you can make a lot of money with it!"
Maybe I'm just bitter because beyond the CompTIA stuff in my field the certs are vendor specific, and vendor provided. And expensive as shit.
I think I agree. It's hard to find something nowadays that isn't either grimdark, grimdark-plus-author-rape-fantansies or infected with the scourge of Irony.
Having a hard time thinking of something I've read that holds up to Poul Anderson or Frank Herbert or Heinlein (before he wigged out and lost all his talent about 3/4 through Stranger in a Strange Land) or Azimov (his earlier period of sci-fi, when he came back to it after writing other stuff for a couple decades it wasn't great) or even Larry Niven on his rare good days (eg: Protector).
Scalzi. Old Man's War is pretty excellent.
Have you ever read the Final Encyclopaedia? Though yeah its a bit old but it is good. Actually probably one of my favorite Sci-Fi universes out there.
Actually some of the better recent sci-fi I have read were more horror or depressing. Manifold Space and Manifold Time are very good. Blindsight I know gets talked about a lot around here excellent book.
I think those are more of my recent readings. I can't think of others which I would recommend which are truly sci-fi.
Oh yeah, forgot about Stephen Baxter. He's not bad.
Might want to link that. It's close to 3 megs in size which will get you an infraction.
All my fuckin life I lived a normal fuckin life
Is that from C for Controversy?

To quote Jeremy Clarkson :
"This is what happens when you let the Italians make the car, and ze Germans make the food, instead of the other way round."
Ferraris and bratwurst are delicious, shut up Jeremy Clarkson.
All my fuckin life I lived a normal fuckin life
The one thing with Baxter is he is super fucking depressing. Dear god that man likes to make you never want to leave your warm comfortable safe blue ball of planet.
Actually Ben Bova's Asteroid Wars series was entertaining. It is tide to his grand tour series so lots of repeat characters with the Moon series about nano-tech. I have Venus around here somewhere but I haven't gotten to it yet.
What about Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Ducati, etc.
I think we should of learned from the Italian Paper Fleet but nope seems we haven't.
Want a ship well made, ask the English and don't have it made in Ireland!
Am I the only one that really hates Peter Hamilton?
They never put enough salt on the Ferraris though. I always have to add more.
Nothing I listed was by him though I have one of his books staring at me. I don't mind him just consider him pulp.
That sounds suspiciously like Comsu talk to me ...
Completely off set by the fact that Alfa Romeo produces a lot more cars then the first three combined.
I love eating Ferraris.
