Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
I've freshly discovered Rick Cook. As a programmer, I just love the WiZBiz series. Though it has its ups and downs: There, executing a program involes a brace of arrows and a stout swordarm for the final blow...  |

Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
Baen's free library is indeed free.
In the "First one's free" sense.

Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
oh, no, you must be wandering around the 'web subscriptions' area. what i was talking about is www.baen.com/library, which really is free for the whole book.

years ago, they built a prison in San Diego out of styrofoam. well, some sort of composite styrofoam derivative substance. appeareantly inmates would, from time to time, punch through the walls and escape.
My favorite fiction quotes are from reality:
"Vae Victis" were the words Brennus uttered as he threw his sword onto the scales. If you dont know the reference, I highly encourage you to look it up. A quick google search should do it.

Re: OT - favorite fiction qoutes
if i didn't know about the Flat Earth Society, i would entirely disbelieve that styrafoam prison thing. and since the possibility that the entire things nothing more than a giant hoax appeals to me, well...
i mean, i'm almost sure i don't know anyone who would believe the FES or build a prison people could kick there way out of...but only almost.
