  1. Type of Book? on The eBook Backlash · · Score: 1

    Technical books that i don't read serially, or want to search, or cross reference, or flip between and go out of date really quickly go on the iPad. Xenophon? Well paper.

  4. Let's all ask for clarification and a license on Singapore Firm Claims Patent Breach By Virtually All Websites · · Score: 1

    i think everyone in the world who has a website which 'infringes' VueStar's patent should immediately email them and demand that they send them full details by registered post of the patent and it's details and that they also send them a license and then reply by post to quibble about every word and or line of the license. I suspect Singapore itself might sink under the volume of mail. Then one could sue VueStar for exposing them to patent infringement by not reply promptly and dealing with their concerns and putting them at risk of legislation.

    One of the Planetary Federation ships is badly damaged when the Earth Government in the 'Fortress' on the Moon fire at it with a bolt of liquid metal. The ship is heading out of the solar system but they rendezvous with a passenger liner and a large number of people are ferried across into the liners cargo holds without suits. They are all made to take breathing exercises to flush their blood with oxygen and then they empty their lungs when the doors open so they are not ruptured. Some get sunburnt and one panics and is left outside.
