I meant wps btw...

Can someone help me convert a .xps to a .doc, it 160MB so Zamzar's converter doesn't accept it and i don't see a reason to get a 1month thing there...

It a microsoft word works file, i have no idea how my brother got ahold of office on my laptop, but it's garbage and it not "saving as..." and all my efforts have thus far been unsuccessful...

I've not found any converters but maybe it's just me being stupid... so anyone able to help?

Here's the titles I'll be reading

Batman (#705)
Green Lantern (#060)
GL Em. Warriors (#005)
Brightest Day (#16)
Batman and Robin (#018)
Birds of Prey v2 (#007)

And here be a better list... http://www.comicvine.com/new_comics/?

It's on my Netflix instant queu, but it's not licensed right now so can't watch it

I haven't played in the last several months either... as a lot of people probably haven't...

You will be missed, even though I'm pretty sure we've had our debates...

look me up any time, it's pretty easy to find me ^.^

Meh, HIV/AIDS will be cured soon one way or the other as nanite technology will replace a lot of our immune system anyways so curing it via medicine is just another way to do something good, but I think the nanites will do it first.

I suggest all of the DC animated movies... simply because they rock and have a lot of good extras.

Not really all that unexpected after we regenerated damaged brains of mice that showed a complete retrieval of their knowledge they had lost from the damaging of their brains >.>

Ok well the super strength was unexpected...

Comicvine has a list of all comics, i think, that released on a particular day... the preview that is linked does not list any where near a complete list...

question though... are comics on a 4 week or 5 week cycle? I thought it was 4, but I've heard 5...

watched it... pretty good series.

Well, that's the thing, from what I understand, this person, whoever it is, is not asking for any money. They are saying that his book is good and they want to help him get it published, like what you said, some kind of mentor. The money part comes in from writing a query up for him and possibly actually editing the book, which might be an actual freelance editor.

This makes sense to me as something that would happen in this situation. And further the fact that the guy himself isn't asking for money and such seems to imply that this isn't a scam by way of the idea that if it were, why take on a partner when you could simply lie?

So from what you guys have said an hat I know of the situation I don't think it's a scam, but then again, we're all working from incomplete partial info and I can see how it could be a scam.

I hate him v.v He knew what it was the entire time, but doesn't want his gf to know and decided to call me while she was there...

If I got this right, apparently he's not paying his contact, whoever it is, but this person that his contact put him in contact with is another type of editor of some sort that can write queries and such... and she was going to charge him a couple grand but a his contact got her to lower her price due to some favor >.>

Sounds weird to me...I can see how this could be a scam, but again don't know standard practices and prices to say and my brother is a dipshit so >.>

Never heard the term, query, used in reference to publishing. And he said something to do with a database. And he should only be coming to me for computer help in this case. So he probably didn't understand what he was talking about and he thinks I should auto-know everything that has anything to do with anything v.v

After reading what a query is for publishing I'm not sure I should help him either way... He's a bad reader/writer and I don't know anything really about his book or any of the information that would be involved with what would be written in one so the only thing I could do is edit the letter...and isn't that what the other person that he has should be doing?

yeah see that's the thing, I haven't got a clue what he could possibly need one for... That's why I'm asking. I've never run across something like that, but like i said I've never tried to get a book published.

From what he told me is that he just showed someone who said they were an editor and they want to publish it or something.

I don't know much about the situation and I don't think any money has even been talked about. Like I said I can't think of any reason why they'd ask for a query database ever. He called me up asking about a query database thingy and I asked for what and he said "everyone has this" and I was going to go and learn how to make a query database for him...but i was trying to figure out what on earth would a book need a database for which I'd need to know to make it... After trying to explain this to him, he started **** so i told him to **** off and hung up.

But I still want to know whether I'm just not informed or am I right in thinking this is odd.

and lulu books are easy... all you need is a pdf.

I didn't say she was unattractive, nor did I say she wasn't funny, nor did I ever say anything about her playboy appearance or that I wanted her off AOTS...

I said not hot enough or funny enough in general compared to most other people out there to succeed. The reason she is funny on AOTS as was mentioned in other threads is her reaction to Kevin and the awkwardness she is put in. Same with her "hotness" appeal, she is considered "hot" mainly because AOTS makes her dress up in geek fantasy stuff. Without these things she loses pretty much all the appeal that she has and on top of that she is being put on air with immensely funny people which makes her stand out as not funny/talented. The same will likely be said of her show, so she'll end up looking worse than she actually is...same way as on AOTS she looks way better than she actually is.


Also, I am discussing her and the position of her losing her status in a conversation about that so how is that obsessed? Do you know what that word means? Also not to mention that entire conversation is more or less an addition onto what I wanted to say to add more content and was never meant to be the main focus...which was AOTS after several months stopped pretending she was coming back.

I has a question about editors, not about how to get one or something like that...

My brother has written a poetry book and claims to have got an editor interested in it... But he keeps coming to me with helping him correct his line formatting, problems with adding photos to the document, and now...

He called me up and asked me to make a query for him... and I have to say wtf? I can't think of any reason why an editor would need a query database...nor can think of any reason why they'd ask a writer to provide them with one.

I haven't ever dealt with a professional editor for a book before so I might be wrong about my reaction, but I don't see how this makes any sense? So, I'm asking you guys for your opinions and if there are anyone that has dealt with a pro editor... is this in any way normal for them to have asked someone to come up with a query database?

It's not that I dislike her, it's that it doesn't make sense to me to consider a risk that is more likely to knock you off your career path as a good decision and really I was more commenting on the fact that AOTS replaced her finally after several months of her not making any appearances.
