Of course they "let" him make a third movie. What's he gonna do,

@Tyrunn: It did run in the US on the PBS station. Interestingly enough, it was about the same time Boys Life magazine ran a serialized version of the story.

@daddytodd: Absolutely right. Since the ebooks really are "rentals" why not just sell them as such? Do a Netfix version: any book from our library download for just $4.99 for one month access before it expires. Then do a rent 6 get 1 free download option or have packages starting at 49.99 per month for unlimited…

Never watched the film but I do remember the rpg: [www.amazon.com]

Mandelbrot sets are responcible for realistic animated computer terrain, and the attenna's in cell phones which keep getting smaller and smaller. [www.pbs.org]

@ceti: Did the same with Run and Compute mags. Serious amount of time! It did make me a better bug hunter since there was always a typo in the code, sometimes my fault, and sometimes the mag's. The ones in the mag's were always a challenge since you had to figure out what the code was suppose to do and then come up…

@Darth Meow 504: You forgot the part about making double sided floppies from single sided ones. Grab your friendly hole punched and notch the other side of the diskette and viola! it's now double sided! I just saved me some bucks!

"cures in 4 hours" I can't wait that long, I have stuff to do today. Do you have something that works in two?

@djscruffy: "Yes, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the Eighth Dimension (1984) was directed by W.D. Richter, who wrote the screenplay to Big Trouble in Little China (1986). If you watch the end of Buckaroo Banzai, the film mentions a potential sequel called "Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League."…

One of the few books I have never finished. Tried a few times but never got past a few chapters. (Don't know if it was just a slow starter or I couldn't relate to the main character) I was just thinking the other day maybe giving it another try, being 20yrs since my last attempt. Now this review shows up and I'm…

@Eddard: I found the movie interesting. I never read the story so I had no comparison issues. It is a PKD story so be prepared to have questions at the end that weren't even thought about at the begining.

@monroe2: Don't be sorry about the rant. I think you did an excellent job explaining it.

You forgot his metaphysical tag line - "Wednesday is Sunday at Carvel."

@djscruffy: The series moved to a whole better level of funny when Kryten becomes a regular. The backwards planet and suicide squid episodes being the best of the bunch.

You missed the number one trope in 99% of all SciFi - humans.

@Casse: Find a copy of the manga, "2001 Nights" . It was put out in english by VIZ in the late 90's (7 parts). I lean to more scifi comics then superhero, but all superheros are really scifi (ssshhhh - don't tell anyone).

@Dodheim: Unless of course, they eat healthy, work out regularly, and still get diabetes. Then that family history of diabetes makes it look like it's more genetic...

I would also think that some company would come up with the idea of "pay as you go" internet access, much like a prepaid mobile. You prepay for 3 terabytes worth of content (up/down load total), and they give you a faster speed then the "public" net. Doesn't matter what the content is, music, movies, blogs, etc.…

What no mention of "Ron Headrest" in Doonsbury?
