"Space will be colonised - although possibly not by us. If we lose our nerve, there are plenty of other people on this planet.

Ender's Shadow is far too religious. I didn't mind the nun too much, but there are a few bits where the rational minds do something of the sort that is best not put in words.:D
It is often said that 80% of users need 20% of the features. The problem with that saying is that they all need a different set of 20% of features, so making lite versions never works. The basic truth is that there are impoverished (by the NA standard) people who need Photoshop and Microsoft Office and (unfortunately) Visual Studio for their hobbies. They will always pirate even though professionals always pay up the $500 or $3000 or whatever is being charged.

I think the original author meant that they should make movies based on "Ringworld", "Rainbow Mars", "Protector", "A World Out of Time", etc.

It did if you realize that Windows XP is the first one to approach Mozilla 1.0's quality.
In other news, God has declared he own's the rights to the word "Outside".
"I created it!" says God, "heck, I created the English language!"
Prove it. I've got plenty of expert witnesses who'll testify to Anglo-Saxo-Norma-Britons having done that.;)

Would you like to play a game of thermonuclear war?
