Well at least when Jordan took that long to release the last book he had a good excuse... he died... ;)

I was more referring to the comment "jeez, another book?" with showing how long it's been between releases... It's not like boom, boom, boom another book. :p

Neil Marshall has signed up to direct an episode of HBO's Game of Thrones.

The Dog Soldiers director will helm a single instalment of the fantasy drama's second season, according to Deadline.

Other directors confirmed for the new season include The Pacific's David Nutter, Rubicon's Alik Sakharov and Boardwalk Empire's David Petrarca.

Palookaville's Alan Taylor, who directed the ninth and tenth instalments of the first season, will also return.

Natalie Dormer, Carice van Houten, Stephen Dillane, Liam Cunningham, Hannah Murray, Robert Pugh, Michael McElhatton and Patrick Malahide are among the actors to have signed up for roles on Game of Thrones.

The series will return to HBO in early 2012.

Just watched all 10 eps yesterday, today I bought all 5 books

Good for you!

The TV show is good, but the books are so much better :D

I can't wait to see how they film the battle at King's Landing in season 2!

so im pretty much done reading the first book and i'm re-watching the series and man do they cut out a lot, change some things and just add a way more sex and naked women (not that i'm complaining about the sex and women part...)

Really? I thought the first season was remarkably accurate and left very little out. I've also seen other people mention the amount of sex and nudity in the show but in general I think there's much more in the books. Maybe it's just a bit more obvious when you see it on TV but the books don't tend to leave much to the imagination. The other thing to note is that some of the sex in the book couldn't make it onto TV without being altered (for instance, Danaerys is only thirteen in the book).

I can't wait to see season 2.

Downton Abbey actress Rose Leslie has landed the key role of a Wildling woman that Jon Snow meets during during his adventures beyond the Wall. Ygritte is described as “strong-willed, witty, skilled in battle and survival in the wilderness. An unconventional beauty, skinny but strong with red hair (which the Wildlings consider ‘kissed by fire’).”

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
