Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know, the Winchester boys seem like they would be more fun free-range than caged.

But I don't really have the flail, so I may be missing something crucial.

I'm probably missing the same thing. Heck, if I kept them in a cage, all I'd probably do is give them books to read after I lectured them about the importance of good research when demon hunting. Which, now that I've actually written that out, I think means I've turned into the goth girl version of Giles.

We often learn more about ourselves in the sturggle

Yes, the times I've been there have been eye-opening. It's a dire place, The Sturggle, full of juxtapositions.

(Seriously, these people thought you edited *too much*?!)

Mmmm, what a happy thought.

Engaging with the emails makes them think they have valid points, and they don't. Ass 'em in the ear.

I have to write a 3,000 word paper on the following topic:

"Google Book Search changes everything.” Does it?

Yes, that's all the info I've been given. I'm gonna go with no, it doesn't change everything. It gives broader access but still points users to local libraries for the actual book. It also provides snippets from what I understand (not the full text). Feel free to give me more reasons so that I can friggin start writing this stupid thing. Signed, totally not in the mood.

Yes, I'm sure I do, but it's also going to have my own opinions as well.

Here are the notes I have so far:

My thesis is that Google Book Search won’t “change everything”; rather it will make discovering and locating books easier and give wider access to the world’s books to users. One aim of Google Book Search is to help users find a copy of a book at a local library (footnote, Google Book Search and Libraries). So Google Book Search is acting as a larger, easier to navigate card catalog, something that has been in existence for many decades. This isn’t a new idea, just a new way of cataloging and making information available.

There are also still legal issues with Google Book Search (footnote, Publishers sue Google over book search project).
