  1. That is looking a lot better than the first trailer.
  2. I finished a book this week. A real one with words and stuff.
  3. Raven

    Rest in Peace

    It's very sad, he was far too young. It's going to make Star Trek: Beyond more poignant next month.
  4. No, but I did see the article on the BBCs web site. I'm guessing photography was new and boundaries had yet to be set(?).
  5. ^ Thanks for the update! (I'd missed that completely).
  6. Amazon currently have a Kindle sale on first novels, as in first novels in a series.
  7. The Truman Show is one of Carrey's best films, and the soundtrack by Philip Glass is excellent. Captain America: Civil War (For a second showing). Marvel's best film to date bar none, great stuff!
  8. At least the Kindle and print version release dates agree with each other now (20th October). This is the second time this has been pushed back, it was originally due out last year. I wonder why there is a delay?
  9. I really enjoyed it for the most part, but felt that the end was a little weak. Spoiler free review here. I suspect you might enjoy it.
  10. I checked this again this morning and it is now listing as June 2nd on Kindle, June 16th for the large format paperback and December 1st for the mass market paperback. I'll have to check the e-mail I received last night as I'm sure it said available now...
  11. In a surprise move (well, for me, anyway), Stiletto, book 2 of The Checquy Files by Daniel O'Malley (and sequel to The Rook) is now available as a Kindle download from Amazon.
  12. Edge is trying to be the browser that does things [Microsoft] right, whilst ignoring how everyone else does things, consequently a lot of web pages (including this forum) don't display correctly. I've set my preference for IE on Windows 10 at work, but that seems to be having occasional problems now as well. Hey-ho.
  13. Personally, I'd say both of these characters are already pretty well defended because both books in question explain the extenuating circumstances for why these characters behaved as they did.
  14. Well, that's me all caught up on my Graphic Novels. I guess I should go find a regular book to read . . .
  15. To be fair though, it has had a good run!
  16. Iain M Banks. The Player of Games is my favourite.
  17. A whole slew of shows have been chopped over the last few weeks, Agent Carter is at the top of my list of pain.
  18. Aggressively forcing users to update is just plain wrong; it should always be the user's choice what they do with the their computer. I'm surprised this isn't getting them into trouble from a legal POV.
  19. By coincidence, my PC at work is going to be upgraded to Windows 10 tomorrow. I have used it to test software in the past, and found it far better to use than 8/8.1, but how well this goes will determine whether I upgrade at home as well.
  20. They want everyone on the same, supportable OS - they don't want the same situation they had with XP where people were still using it 10 years after it was released.
  21. There is no guarantee that will stop it installing; Windows will quite often install updates on shut down even if set to ask your permission first. I have turned the automatic updates on my PC off altogether and go through the list of updates and remove the Windows 10 one every time I run updates manually. Look for update KB 3035583; this is the one that will start the upgrade and is now listing as an Important Update. If already installed, this can be removed from your computer using add/remove programs (you will need to check the box to list Windows updates as well).
  22. The Kindle edition is now listing as 20th October!
  23. God is crying because we killed all the Dodos. He really liked Dodos . . .
  24. From Google, just now: So June was right, until very recently at least... Anyway, quoting Australian dates is a misnomer anyway because everyone knows it takes longer to print type upside down.
  25. Moby Dick. Started twice now, never finished. One day...
