I'm reading the Harry Potter series since I never finished it. Right now I'm on The Order of the Phoenix.

I've just started reading them to my kid at bed time. She's only 18 months though, so we only get through half a chapter a day. Needless to say, it's slow going.

They should have brought back Captain N, the Game Master. He used a Power Glove. Remember the Power Glove?

Last computer I built years ago didn't have any indication that it was doing anything. Only after troubleshooting for a couple hours did I re-read the instruction manual to find out that it could take a minute or two before the computer did anything while the BIOS was doing its initial scan.

Saddam, have you left the computer powered on for a couple of minutes to see if maybe the BIOS just needs time to make sure everything's okay before the initial boot? Do computers still do that?

You'll need an infra red receiver and card, and a remote.

Or, just a wireless keyboard/mouse.

Finished the 4th Season. The final fight wasn't as satisfying as in the original Avatar.

I have a Kobo. I don't like that the Kindle doesn't read epub, which is a very standard file type.

Wait... this movie is about killing a current, living leader of a nation?

WTF?  Who thought this was a good idea?

Wasn't that the partially the plot to Team America: World Police?
