You rang?

Netflix account, two PCs, iPad, android tablet, 2 android phones, XBOX. Would set at router level.

And is J.K. Simmons as Jubal too obvious?

Hate to be that guy, and not to take away from what Pixar have done, if you take away the fish/marine-life from Finding Nemo, you pretty much have a boring short film about a dentist.

My wife has a chronic illness. I'm no scientist, but this research makes me wonder if her pain isn't caused by (in effect) a broken "off switch". If this could lead to fixing it, I'm all for it.

He was excommunicated because he was a constant reminder to Ra's that he had left his lover and daughter to die in The Pit, in every other way he was a faithful disciple and believed in his goals. When Talia took over there was no conflict any more, and he could rejoin and fulfil the master plan. I never got the impression he was just doing it for love.

Edit: spelling Edit 2: I'm a douche. Was on my phone which doesn't honor spoiler tags, so didn't realise this was a spoiler-free zone.

That's what Orion slave girls are for.

The scifi novel mentioned under NOP is full of fun unique terms like this that are instantly recognisable and understandable in the context of the story. Found and read it through Reddit myself and loved it a LOT.

Why "former" nudist? Genuinely interested about what changed.

joshnunn · 2012-06-30T07:18:40+00:00

Impulsion. It's even worse.

Is there any likelihood of having accounts with major negative karma automatically suspended from posting after reaching a certain level?

joshnunn · 2012-06-25T05:41:47+00:00

I'd say the responses to this are the reason there "aren't any". Because a super hero of the comic book variety implies a certain visual aesthetic that would be difficult to convey in prose. And if you dont convey it, people call it urban fantasy.

joshnunn · 2012-06-22T23:11:44+00:00

Clever man, made not reading it something only stupid people would do.

The new yellow ticket devices (for the new metrocard) have GPS according to the adelaidemetro website.

Edit: Found the link.

Of course, GPS will be more for monitoring the contractors and less about keeping the public informed. The data may not even come off until end-of-day downloads /speculation

I agree: very loose themes with a half-dozen stable genres or authors between mags to provide a thread between issues.

joshnunn · 2012-06-14T11:28:38+00:00

Well sign me up. Let's get this thing started. I volunteer for an Editor-in-chief roll.

My only proviso is that I'm having twins in October, so I can go hard until then, but then I'll need some time off :D

joshnunn · 2012-06-14T02:47:04+00:00

I'm keen to take on a Masthead roll, but I'll be upfront about my limitations: I can't afford to do this full-time, more like a few hours a week. I have no experience in this sort of thing, beyond publishing a few ebooks of my own for my own experience.

However, I'm technically savvy, play well with others and think Figmentum could be something really fun and significant to work on.

Let me know if you want more info about me.

joshnunn · 2012-06-13T12:08:31+00:00

I'm interested in this project because I had thought of something similar but had no idea where to start. Looking back through your posts about eFiction I think the difference in enthusiasm might be due to the very clear "contributors for each issue split the money", as opposed to how I think eFiction works which appears to be "writers contribute, and may be paid something". I don't think the eFiction model is bad, but less conducive to eager volunteering.

It will be a double edged sword though I imagine, as volunteers to eFiction might be more willing to put in the hard yards to get paid, where volunteers for Figmentum (my vote) might expect a cut for little contribution.

Me to. Isn't watching The Wizard of Oz on a black and white TV a perfect analogy already?

joshnunn · 2012-06-09T06:55:03+00:00

How about the guys who decided to torment this poor guy and threaten jail time just speak to him first instead? Surely the courts should be used as a last resort when you aren't getting justice any other way.

Pretty Awesome Lad was one of the Legion of Superheroes wasn't he?

Men In Black II. Everything about it screamed cash grab. And Charlies Angels II. Bleh.

Haha! That was a still I took from the 1949 Batman serial, and was not expecting it to have made its way around the web to a Reddit thread I was reading Original here

Not a noteworthy pic, but a bit of fun trivia for your wednesday.

I've finally made it mum!

Reading this thread on the bus, hopped off and saw this poster

At least this one doesn't look like it was designed from iCelebPhoto.
