This sounds completely pointless. Yeah, looks good on the picture when there's only one thing in the bag, but I can't see if being any use when you have a bag full of cables, USB drives, bits of paper and all the other stuff that women carry around!
Yup, I spoke to her Friday night and she said pretty much the same thing. It's a damn shame, becuase I'd love to see more of the universe, but I can see her point.
I think that she also like the Five Gods stuff becuase the characters feel more like real people than Mile was becoming, iyswim.
In that case, you're going to love The Confusion. I'm about a third of the way throuh it, and it's just as good, with almost an element of Mary Gentle's Ash thrown in - Tukish Janissaries and the like.
I was looking for something similar and in the end I came up with the idea of using LaunchBar at home and AppRocket at work.
It's not ideal, but it does mean that I can just shove everything remotely useful in as a bookmark and use them to search my bookmarks (and remember the search terms I use).
Even though the mission/may/ not have been a failure, surely the problem is that the media expected a plume, so they will report a failure, so the US public thinks it was a failure.

True. If you walk down Oxford Street (London's main shopping street), for example.... They even make TV shows about how great it is:
"John the Security guard at [store x] doesn't like the look of that man.... He follows him around the store with cctv, then- as he leaves- calls Joe, the security guard in [store y] next door.... Joe doen'y like him, either, so they call the street security guard, who watches him walk down the street, tracking him with cameras, untill he leaves the area."
But it isn't all bad: There was a mini-bombing campaign a few months ago, in London. They got him, mainly becuase there are cameras everywhere that saw him leave a bomb...

The ones on the tube did once open and close the doors, but they stopped using them becuase a) it's cooler in summer and b) it's quicker.

Yeah, but booze is /mega/ expensive...

So NASA doesn't get its budget reinstated?
It sounds like the prefect excuse, to me

Surely the whole point of the babelfish was that everyone had to have one?
