Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle had very little to do with writing "Fallen Angels", other than the cocktail napkins they scrawled a few ideas and plot points upon.
Michael Flynn did all the heavy lifting when it came to actually writing the book.

Seriously, when did some Americans become such ignorant, cowardly, pants wetting wussies?

"I do not download movies or songs from torrent sites because the risk is too high."
Too true!
If only there was SOME way to use the net to safely download the latest.
What news this would be to groups of people seeking an alternative to bit torrent for their binary files.
Oh, Internet! Why have you failed us so?

Jeebus! How is wishing I had mod points so that I might have modded up the message I was referring to "Off Topic"?
I swear, some of these slashdotters are SO OCD.
Get a life, move out of your mother's basement. KISS A GIRL!
Would that I had mod points right now!
"It was totally sarcastic all the way, I'm kind of dismayed that this line of thinking is so ingrained here that it wasn't more obvious."
Indeed! I'm sure you felt it was SO over the top, it could not possibly be mistaken for a serious comment.
Considering the genuine Randroids & Glibertarians that comment here, it really is damned hard to distinguish sincere from satire.
My sincere apologies if I gave offense to you!
To the Randroids and Glibertarians who took offense, please, have some more!

That's always how it seems to end in my case.
Your words confuse me greatly.
Even Randroids have mod points, it seems.

Aetna plans to drop six hundred thousand subscribers, because the stockholder profits are not high enough .

...hangs thick and heavy in the air this morning, with more than a hint of teabaggery mixed in.
Someone open a window and break out the air freshener!
...from the Tracy family compound and Lady Penelope.
I am well aware of how the Mars cameras work, having done a metric shitload of B&W "color" photography via filters myself.
And you, obviously, know exactly dick about not being an asshole.
FYI, the color camera on the Mars Rovers.
One Megapixel. Really spiffy and detailed images of the Martian landscape for only one megapixel, don't you think?
Also, TFA states he's using OCR to create a PDF.
If the image from the camera is sharp enough, the OCR software should have no trouble "reading" it.
Here comes the Publisher's Copyright Enforcement Gundams to give you "What For!".
Imagine that, thinking you could actually DO Something like that with your very own property.
What cheek!

I think you might be correct in your Insightful comments.
(those with mod points, please mod Dr. Spork's comments up. Thank you.)
Mininova included far too many torrents on private trackers. Sort of defeating the purpose of BitTorrent, actually.
No great loss, all things considered.

Flamebait? Really?
Ah, well. I guess /. gives modpoints to Randroids as well as normal people.
