Or what about having smaller overhead bins, where each seat is assigned one specific bin? That would avoid the problem where the first people to board use up all of the overhead space with their 6 foot long duffel bags. It would force people to carry on a reasonable amount, while guaranteeing they would have overhead space when they reach their seat.
There's a collection of short stories and novellas called the Science Fiction Hall of Fame. Volume 1 is edited by Robert Silverberg, Volume 2A and 2B edited by Ben Bova, and I believe there's a Vol 3.
Vol. 1 is short stories. Vol 2A and 2B are novellas. The stories in this collection are excellent (most if not all are considered classics) and it's a good way to sample many different authors.

I am normally a lurker, but I must post to thank LoseNotLooseGuy for his efforts to rid Slashdot of this great annoyance!
