I like the HP books better than the movies, and they are some of the only books I have seen at the movies, so my judgement is severely limited.

---

And yet you felt comfortable saying that books were better than their corresponding films in every case. Reminds me of Ayn Rand talking about psychology.

Any way, books are not always better. I thought Battle Field Earth the movie was better.

It's supposed to be better than the first two. The book is okay; however, I'm not so sure how well it will be when taken onto the big screen.

Well realistically your character shouldn't be able to carry 4 suits of armor, while fighting with a sword and shield at the same time.

There are some of those signs in Duke Nukem 3d also, but those ones said something like "You're not supposed to be here"

—Eldibs, who feels like copying Alorael's sig, also thinks there should be some sort of sign in there.

What's the etymology of "lap-hanger?"

The lap-hangers cruise around the main street of Warrnambool in 'hotted up' cars that they parade for all to see. Most of the time, its pathetic, but sometimes there are some good cars that cruise around. A lot of the pepole doing it are P platers with nothing better to do.

---

Yes, but what does any of that have to do with laps or hanging?

The obvious impact would be that with reduced sales, record companies would be unwilling to take a financial risk on anything that is different. Thus more Britney/Beyonce clones.

They are not really the most prominent music figures at the moment anyway. Yes, 2 years ago, but not as much now.

In the original post, where it says: Traiman said adequate safety assurances can be provided by testing a sperm donor at the time of the initial donation, then freezing the sperm for a six-month quarantine and testing the donor again to be sure there is no new sign of HIV or other infectious diseases,

---

This would work well enough; the problem is that storing all sperm for 6 months before it could be used would be a considerable added expense for sperm banks, especially since a significant proportion of donors would likely fail to show up for the retest and so their sperm would have to be discarded.
