Review: 'The Hunger Games' finally hits theaters and, yes, LVWeekly is disappointed - Friday, March 23, 2012 | 6 p.m. - Las Vegas Sun
Battle Royale and its friends are the obvious comparisons. The comparison with Series 7: The Contenders is much more obscure but probably more accurate. It covers a lot of popular themes though so it's not surprising that there are lots of comparisons to make.

The Technium: When Hard Books Disappear
"A prudent society keeps at least one specimen of all it makes, forever. It still amazes me that after 20 years the only publicly available back up of the internet is the privately funded Internet Archive. The only broad archive of television and radio broadcasts is the same organization. They are now backing up the backups of books. Someday we'l realize the precocious wisdom of it all and Brewster Kahle will be seen as a hero."

Manning: Brownfield Application Development in .NET
"Most software developers have inherited a monolithic application where the day-to-day tasks involve maintenance, incremental improvements, or even cleaning up the mess another programmer left behind. These legacy or brownfield projects often have tightly coupled components, low cohesion, and poor separation of concerns, making them fragile and resistant to change."
