Frodo of the Nine Fingers... And the Ring of Doom!

I thought Melanie Rawn's Sunrunner books had a fair original and unique system, it is sad not to see it listed in favor of a bunch of entries where 'it just works' is the basic answer. And Pern, really? There is no magic in Pern. The closest you get is telepathy, and possibly telekinesis, but neither are presented in…

What about the flying spheres of death from the Phantasm movies? They seem perfect for the list!

That is the best clip ever. I love Amanda Tapping so much!

Err. Not to be ornery, but 22k for 6 moths for 2 people is, well, equivelant to a salary of 22k. Good luck finding many game developers willing to work that far under the poverty line.

Spoiler, really? I love cute things and somehow knew from moment one that he was just Wrong. ><

Yeah, that bit was pretty ho-hum and not at all true to the original. So I'd definitely like to see a different take on that, maybe trim that down by about 2/3 and add some more interesting trip back or on-earth stuff after. Still, it wasn't the train wreck a lot of the remakes of things from my childhood have been,…

I just watched this the other day, and I can't say they were untrue to the source. It was a pretty one-sided story even in the original. For a there and back again story, they skip a lot of the back again.

I like this aspect, but they are going gratingly slow and dragging some things on way too much. At this point, finding Sophia better be something damned epic, like her being kidnapped by a cult of former cub scouts waiting for themselves and her to mature to restart the human population while going all lord of the…

Actually, I will point out in the show's defense that she talks to Glenn about this, in the scene where he gives her the pre-natal vitamins as an alternative if she decides to go through with it. She says she doesn't even know if it will work at this point, but she's not got many options. I'm glad she spat them up…

You probably won't, because it is not JUST the availability that makes the use prevalent, it is also the economic and social conditions.

I just read somewhere they are re releasing it with a new ending, maybe that will be more to your taste? I haven't seen it yet myself to know, but I hear the ending was generally regarded as a disappointment.

Lies, Gundam has never changed story elements! They just rename the characters and tell it again! It's like reading David Eddings. Sure, you know you are going to read the same story for the billionth time, but hey, cool characters/mecha!

Hollywood, one would expect, since it draws in good English speaking actors from all over the world on a constant basis, most of whom are ignored in favor of glossy white actors that are non-threatening to the People In Charge.

In the not free catagory I've used Vandyke's SecureCRT and SecureFX for well over a decade now, and can't picture changing.

Your dyslexia is not all dyslexia. Something that shouldn't have to be pointed out. For my son it IS more about not being able to tell the difference between things like p and b and d; this font would help him immensely.

Seriously, I have to agree here. I only have a mild touch, enough to ensure that I can't do most things in my head and remembering numbers is a serious undertaking (Random pin numbers are my bane. I won't bank somewhere I can't choose my own.)

It is a shaky area. I am firmly in support of anything that detects things like Downs Syndrome and other truly crippling ailments, but we are also seeing a sharp rise in similar tests that can tell you the child's gender, and parents aborting children because they aren't sons. It is becoming a not-insignificant…

I was thinking 'Sarah Palin' myself. >.>
