I have heard that there are also extended versions of the Hobbit films, but watching them just doesn't seem worth it.Arachne said:Unless you own the extended versions, which are closer to 4 hours each (Return of the King exactly so.)
Not enough geekery there, I guess. We'll buy the boxed set when it comes out, because we have a little boy who will love watching it at least for a few years, but won't bother with extensions or extras.Papist said:I have heard that there are also extended versions of the Hobbit films, but watching them just doesn't seem worth it.Arachne said:Unless you own the extended versions, which are closer to 4 hours each (Return of the King exactly so.)
He's good. I thought The Fault in Our Stars would be all mawkish, but it was anything but. Looking forward to tackling An Abundance of Katherines.TheMathematician said:For my YA Lit class, I just finished John Green's Looking for Alaska

It's too early to have much of an opinion at this point (first day at it). I took basic, cobol and rpg in high school (vo-tech) but that was the mid-90s and I've forgotten almost all that stuff. Still, 15 year old, energetic, oblivious, idiot me didn't have a problem picking that stuff up, so I'm hoping 35 year old, half-oblivious, half-idiot, but also now half-energetic, me will do similarly. :angel:Porter ODoran said:How are you finding it?

I've done scripting off and on my whole career, but never got into programming proper. Recently I landed a contract to do something a little more like programming, but I've had to withdraw for health reasons. Bit of a bummer.
Oh I understand actually Javascript (yes, Javascript) is the next big thing. There are server-side uses for it (see node.js, for example), and of course so much of what used to be server-side is now being done client-side, an envelope constantly pushed by Google.
And how has that worked out for you?orthonorm said:He gave me some excellent Infoseek on Mathis and programming, as I recall.
I'm really enjoying it, and I especially love it because the Troodos mountains are my home.Gebre Menfes Kidus said:
