It’s a defect in the 3D printer mechanism that printed the Moon.

This is awesome news. I love these books. What made them work was a combination of good character interaction and inspiring world-building. If they can come close to reflecting that in a film, I’ll gladly line up for a ticket.

Kids these days, spoiled by their Netflix... I had to walk 20 miles to the nearest Blockbuster, through the snow, uphill -- both ways... :P

He’s indirectly mentioned — it’s mentioned that Sisko was an accessory, after all. :P

Nope, I haven’t read them yet. :( (Although I *am* working my way through Leckie’s Ancillary series and very much loving it so far — but I haven’t reached Mercy yet).

Just to be clear: You yourself, of course, have read this year’s Hugo award winners, concluded from your reading that only evil “social justice warriors” could possibly like the books, and that is why you are making these lengthy replies, yes?

... You just have a bunch of canned responses like this set aside and ready for any occasion, don’t you. :P

While I was trying to dismiss your comment a Kinja script crashed and completely froze my browser — and if that doesn’t prove that you are wrong (not only in the factual sense, but also perhaps in a deeper, unnatural-dark-magic sense), then I don’t know what does. :P

Probably the second one. At least, they certainly didn’t win thanks to being on a slate, so that’s somethin’.

Even “safe” and consensual porn is often somewhat problematic, though. Firstly, of course, most of it is made from a male perspective, and so naturally the male in the average straight porn video is the character we’re expected to empathise with, while the women are there to satisfy him sexually, and are more…

“They’re the raw, exposed nervous system of the mushrooms that hold the planet together.”

While I’m not against porn myself, I’d also like to play devil’s advocate here: Blaming a single individual for this single crime is an over-simplification of the issue. Anti-porn advocates (along with many other perhaps more reasonable people) could point out that there are deeper cultural issues at play — the way…

But will it turn into a Best of Queen tape if left in the car for two weeks?

Security updates, however, will continue for a long while yet, and Windows 10 looks like it’ll need a lot more patches and fixes before it works as smoothly as Windows 7 already does. So, no net loss.

Please tell us what business you work for so we can start short-selling.

“Windows 10 continues to have the highest customer satisfaction of any version of Windows.”

Wasn’t there even a rule for the Star Wars Expanded Universe that the question of droid rights would never be addressed in canon? I don’t remember the details, but I seem to recall reading this somewhere years ago. Of course this was long before Disney took over the franchise... Now it’d be nice to see the “good guys”…

Few things depress me as much as people trying to punish other people for simple, harmless displays of affection or joy.

It happens to me all the size, too!

Only if there’s a huge political and cultural controversy over whether Washington is a part of Seattle or not.
