Re:

Regina Spektor is fairly well-known. In fact, if you Youtube her music, you'll probably recognize her voice, as her music is used often in movies. She's actually more mainstream than Amanda Palmer or...

Re: Math

It varies widely. Suffice it to say that a bestseller in trade publishing would probably need to sell closer to 10,000 (or even 100,000, in some cases) copies a month for the first few months, rather...

Re: Re: Re: NY has some of the toughest gun control laws in the country.

I'd rather live in China than die in Aurora. Also, lol if you think your goddamn hunting rifle is going to mean anything if the US military comes knocking at your door.

Article 16

Man, the Internet is sure falling over itself to make sure rape doesn't get prosecuted! Yay rape culture! Sure, he raped a couple of women. But it wasn't like it was "rape-rape", and come on, isn't his...

Authors won't buy it

Almost all the authors I know abhor DRM just as much as readers; the few who don't are a vocal minority. Hell, I went to a writer's conference a few weeks ago and DRM came up. I squirmed as I prepared...

Re: $10 Text Files?

Fair enough, but you realize the market has spoken pretty vocally that $10 is an acceptable price for a new book by a big-name author. Also, I'm not sure why you think $10 is unacceptable for a text...

Dude...

I normally like your reporting, even if I sometime disagree with your conclusions. But define your damn acronyms. I had to jump to other publications to find out what the hell was going on, and ......

Re: WTF?!

"Bimbo?" Fucking seriously? Can you criticize someone without using sexist terminology?

Damned insensitive

Obviously the decision regarding the "original" photos is silly. But I'm not a fan of your dismissive attitude about the whole affair, particularly the legal actions taken. No one has the right to film...

Say goodbye to used games. RIP, Right of First Sale.

Eh

I'm about halfway through, and I'm really not a fan. Far too absurdly bohemian and utopian even when it's trying not to be (of course you can find gourmet meals dumpster diving; isn't everyone else...

Re: Re: Re:

Bullshit. Your actions certainly contributed to the ending -- the entire game was essentially a denouement, and it played out VERY differently depending on your choices in previous games. Just because...

What's with the weird quotation marks?

Are you trying to argue that 'gun violence' doesn't exist, or that it's not a 'problem?' I get and agree with the idea that banning violent video games won't solve the issue, but there's obviously an...
