Well, of course, that should go without saying. Personally I tend to agree that the perfect length of a movie is the length it takes to do what the movie intends - that may be under 90 minutes, or over 3. (Or more - I really wish someone would discover a copy of the complete 10-hour cut of...

You have to wonder what the good folks at Dalkey Archives are thinking. So they put out a job ad yesterday, looking for young go-getters who want to get into publishing. Sounds neat until you read the fine print. Common tasks to be performed include ...which will be a tricky highwire to walk...

And suddenly I really want to read this. Scott Lynch gets non-fan mail.

I read this article: Is The Hobbit simply too long? | Film | guardian.co.uk A friend of mine has a theory, that the perfect movie length is indeed exactly 96 minutes, and that the quality of any movie can be determined sight unseen simply by looking at how far it is from that perfect...

I tried removing them with AdBlock. The only result was that the tabs themselves became invisible, but they're still there, so whenever I happened to mouse by them, that annoying little "Like!" thingy would jump out anyway. Except now it was disembodied. Spooky.

Is there any way to disable these? When browsing on a phone they take up a pretty large portion of the screen...

...and here are some more poses by Hines.

Or you can argue, as Paul Davies does, that any species that doesn't figure out peaceful coexistence will always be too busy warring itself into oblivion to bother with interstellar travel in the first place... (And technically, we're not predators anymore, if we ever were; we're farmers...

The world will end on August 31, 4500 at 11:58 pm | Jason Shuler's Tech Blog Hey, if you can't trust Microsoft, who can you trust?

And if by some freakishly unlikely coincidence the world doesn't end next Friday, don't worry - there's another apocalypse right around the corner. And this time, by gum, they must have gotten it right!

And also despite all the hubbub about self-published authors going it alone and publishers becoming irrelevant, what has happened virtually every single time* a self-published author has started making serious money? They've signed up with a real publisher. * Well, not that it's happened all...
