A lot of things clear up and are built upon in the next two books. The beginning of "Red" kind of blew, but it does get better.
I just bought "Years of Rice and Salt" to read camping next week. It is an alternate history by Robinson about the Black Death killing 99% of Europe, instead of 1/3, and the Muslim, Asian and Native Americans ruling the world.
I have been looking for a remote control that incorporates an SMS type thumb keyboard and a pointing device (mini trackball?). I've seen one with a trackball and a slew of buttons, but no keyboard.
Living room computers really need something like this. Buttons are great, but for typing a URL, you need a keyboard.
"Off Topic" is a total bullshit moderation. NOTHING should be considered off topic.
I wish to hell the powers that be would replace it. An "Unfunny" or "Not Funny" would be better. The not funny mod type would work great for instances when a poster was trying to be funny, but was stupid instead.
If you ever meta moderate you will note than "Funny" mods can be rated funny to unfunny.

They were pushing awful hard for more inspections. Iraq is a big pretty barren country. It is going to take time to find the damn stuff.
No, the invasion was to *ELIMINATE* WMD. Seems to have worked...
Yeah, like they're going to last that long.
I still think IBM will stomp on SCO like the roach that they are.

Hell, never let them have the source. Well, not the REAL source anyway...
True, but now you know THEIR true colors.
The company is not the only one who could spend the next 6 months "making preparations".
No company is irreplaceable, either.
What was that animal that required her evilness to open her mouth really wide to eat?
Me.
Though I prefer "Stud" to "Animal".

How many star systems are within 20 light years of earth?
Wouldn't that be a "Human Resource"?
I want to know what kind of wine goes best with human.

You forgot Ficcus...
The bacteria that killed the lizards had to have a cold cycle (winter) to reproduce. It died off in the southern regions and the lizards came back.
I guess it never occured to the resistance to re-seed the southern regions...
And that dang iron horse has knocked the buggy whip industry on it's ass!

Well, they would all be monks and wouldn't be out molesting...never mind.

The human race has spent millions of years getting the hell out of the big blue room. I pay good money for a house to avoid it.

/. so statements need no proof, especially after some asshole mods you down as troll.
No, this is
If you are really worried, google it.
Maybe they just watch Oz...
It depends on the state and prison system. Inmates have used riots and lawsuits to get cable.
I think some prisons get cable just to keep the prisoners electronically tranquilized.
