en So far, our fans have responded in an overwhelmingly positive way to our decision to forego traditional methods of publishing and distribution. We look forward to having them take part in testing and shaping Savage 2, and helping us to make the best possible game we can.

en And it is promotion. My publisher, Tor Books, have some modern methods that allow them to make a profit on as little as 3,000 copies of a hardcover novel. The traditional methods would need a print run of 50,000 paperbacks. That means Tor can afford to have tons of first novelists every year on much shorter runs. But then the marketing effort is diluted to cover all those authors. It's not possible to make a good living from being a mid-tier author, just selling in the bookshops. I need to promote myself, with all the tools I have.

en Sometimes you have to be empty. That is one thing I have truly learned in all the rebuilding projects. At some point, you have got to take a punch to the gut that just empties all the arrogance or pride or false hopes, and then you realize we better face up to who we are.

en The theory of computation has traditionally been studied almost entirely in the abstract, as a topic in pure mathematics. This is to miss the point of it. Computers are physical objects, and computations are physical processes. What computers can or cannot compute is determined by the laws of physics alone, and not by pure mathematics.

en His style of play makes him the player he is. When he runs into a wall, he sticks his hand out to brace himself and it hurts his wrist. If he keeps challenging fences the way he has, and I hope he does, then he is going to have to learn to crash into them a little more softly, or brace himself with something else.

en As determined as you are, you could accomplish anything, and running a marathon is more mental than physical.

en Their point guard is salty. We've got to eliminate some of his talents and make them play another style. Their wing people became the point to enter to the post. I thought we forced open the door, but they shut it.

en The tragic effects of terrorism have forced the new-construction industry to re-evaluate traditional methods of fire protection in commercial infrastructures,

en With our style of playing run and gun, we're going to have teams make runs at us. They made three 3-pointers in a row on us and it didn't faze us. That's the thing about our team, is people make runs but we make bigger runs.

en He's got to know the plays. He's got to know the situations. He's got to know the assignments. He's got to have the experience. There's really nothing magical. You've got to be able to get on the field and he unfortunately ... it's a shoulder, it's a hand, it's a knee, it's a stomach, it's this and that.

en The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.
  Oswald Spengler
