You may check your facts, but you definitely do NOT check your spelling.

Not a real good way to start a thread, why not tell us what you think and then pose the question.

Me personally, I think he would suck at it, He is a military genius, I doubt he would have much clout as a political figure.

The ability to fart on command.

I know what you mean Damien. We just don't hold Caucasians and African-Americans to the same standard in this country sometimes. For example, why can Jesse Jackson, a man of large political influence, belittle the whites to help his African-American constituents feel better about themselves. No one ...

If you're just doing it for fun, I guess it doesn't matter. Thank you, this is exactly what I mean. The fanfics that I write and/or read are for ME. MY enjoyment. I don't publish, I don't post, and I am definitely not taking Card's copyright from him. If that rubs him the wrong way, I'm sorry but t...

Sorry, when a woman is involved you are on your own.

If all else fails, throw money at her.

I have no intention of publishing anything whatsoever. But I will continue to read and write what I enjoy as I please until it comes to the point that I am asked to quit. I understand that he has a legal right, but I am not out to get him. Looks like I'll just have to keep things under the radar, le...

No. At least not for those particular wishes. It seems that my "what if this" and "what if that" questions has been morphed into an assault on the integrity of OSC's work. I assure you that it is not. I enjoy his books of course, I love the way he writes, and I love the character...

Umm...Card frowns on fanfics. He hates them. At what point did I lead you to believe that I even care what Card thinks about fanfics? Whether he likes them or not would have no impact on me writing or reading what I described above. Fanfics are not out there for Card anyways, they are created by th...

True, I think it would have been interesting to see a war between Peter and Ender happen on Earth. Actually that might be a really good fanfic (even as I wrote that the thought came that it might already have been done, time for searching!) It would be a great story to have Ender come back from spac...

The IF did not have control over Ender, they authorized his birth, yes, but the decision to join the battle was Ender's alone. When Graff ask him then he could have said no, and then Ender's game would have been a very short, and a very boring story. In my head I sort of relate the IF to today's U.N...

zeroguy: I thought data structures was a relatively fun class, though I love coding which may have something to do with it.

Andorbal.

Wow, someone that loves coding, you my friend are now my mortal enemy. Be vigilant for your downfall is nearing!

Quality Management
Decision Support Systems
Business Logistics
International Logistics
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining

Only one more class to go after these, then I achieve the ever elusive goal......Graduation!

Doesn't he have a new book out...."Empire" maybe? Check that out, it looked pretty interesting.

Of course, we don't know any of the other factors that might have contributed to this happening. How hard was this guy playing? Was the remote already damaged or defective?

Personally, I think the Wii is the new path that games will take (Having to actually move your ass to cause action in the game)

Quicksand.


Had a horrible nightmare also when I was in kindergarten, I woke up screaming. The nightmare involved the playground at the school and random puddles of quicksand would appear and the kids would get stuck and drown.

Of course now I know quicksand doesn't quite work that way!

Just goes to show you that even the best "Evil Plan" can come crashing down with a moment of inattention.

20 years is impressive though you have to admit.
