Helloooooooooo(?)

Welcome. There is a TON of awesome discussions here about the Chronicles. I've learned many things from other's comments that I missed or never thought about. Don't worry about anything being "too old" to post a question or a comment on. It's fun! I agree, the 3rd Chronicles doesn't seem t...

ST- Picard Season 3

I just finished S3 and it was AWESOME. I've hated almost most of Trek since Voyager ended and this was what I desperately needed to say I'm a fan without being embarrassed. The story was very well thought out and written. Yeah, the Borg letting everything happen on the Cube seemed a little weak but ...

What's for dinner?

Last night was home-made buffalo chicken dip (90%) chicken, a handful of tortilla chips, 3 beers and 2 tequila shots.

When I got two complete strikeouts in a row, I got worried that you guys were smarter than me. :wink: I try not to boast. :mrgreen: Like Fred Sanford, I have a mind full of junk. Hiking yesterday, we joked about having a heart attack and dying on the trail. I said, "This is the big one! I'm co...

Picard

I just watched the first four episodes of season 3, and I'll stick with it now. But I am not a fan of the ultra-gritty, I'd prefer if they dispensed with all the profanity, and for God's sake could they please light their sets adequately? I gave up on Trek movies after the first reboot movie. I lik...

Didn't someone discover an older version of the bible in a jar in a cave a number of years ago?

The whole story is always a bit different. In this case, the mass e-book removals were motivated by copyright . A company called MobileReference, who did not own the copyrights to the books 1984 and Animal Farm, uploaded both books to the Kindle store and started selling them. When the rights owner...

Here's another article discussing two more authors. Not clear if it's ebook or print though. Stine says that changes were made to his Goosebump books without his knowledge? Do authors not have control of their own works? I guess I never thought about that before. Does a publisher own Donaldson's boo...

Part of the issue here is that the paradigm of e-books is completely different. There is only one "copy" of an e-book that everyone gets to read. When you buy it, you're just adding your name to it. (Yes, you may download a copy of that e-book to your local e-reader. But that's a temporar...
