- 2010-03-11 00:26 - Same Vodka, Different Bottles - link I am a sucker for a well-done industrial aesthetic, so I may need to pick this up -- is it available in mainstream bookstores?
- 2010-03-06 04:05 - Pwned by Chaos - link This sounds really interesting. How long ago was it written / how long has it been out of print for?
- 2010-03-02 08:05 - Categorically Misguided - link I've been inspired by your sleuthing to scour my local bookshops for odd category decisions. Haven't found anything that leaps out at me so far in the nearby Borders, but I shall have to report back after a trip to Barnes & Noble...
- 2010-02-08 13:48 - Categorically Misguided - link I'm pretty sure they have a Borders [snip] I think it still exists here in the US, or at least in NJ. I can verify it still exists on the left coast as well. Now all we need is reports from intrepid Ferretneurons ...
- 2010-02-06 06:16 - Subject Fail - link Maybe the one thing you and others are forgetting is that Shepard is a peerless warrior and leader. Savior of the galaxy, more than once. It only makes sense that Jack would have more respect for him than any other person in her life. And ultim...
- 2010-02-02 13:13 - Attacking Avatar - link But then, James Cameron in his interviews goes on about the themes and issues of Avatar like it's some philosophical thesis, so maybe we're both giving him too much credit I think anyone who gives Cameron (and not his special-effec...

- 2010-01-22 09:08 - Ferret Food – Fire and Stone - link In that case, having been to the London one, I'd point out there are some rather nicer pizza combinations on the menu :-) so anyone thinking of going there shouldn't be completely disheartened. They are a bit absurdly expensive, though -- just about unders...
- 2010-01-21 18:50 - Ferret Food – Fire and Stone - link Do you know if it's an extension of the one in London?
- 2010-01-19 04:52 - Thoughts on cold storage - link Both of you who are getting technical details errors -- would you mind emailing webmaster at ferretbrain with when / where you get the error and the content of the comment that's causing it?

- 2010-01-15 13:40 - Defending Avatar - link "That's a culture, not a civilisation" is a dangerous statement to make Perhaps I'm misunderstanding but I'd thought Marionros was implying that Avatar says exactly that about the Na'vi?
