  1. Re:Read 'em all! on The Shockwave Rider · · Score: 1

    "Jagged Orbit," the first, is also the least. It's been out of print for some time.

    It's now back in print in the UK; Gollancz have brought out a yellow jacket tp in their classic sf series.

    (I agree with your assessment of the book, though - weaker br far than his other dystopias)

  2. Re:Rename .com on U.S. To Re-Administer .US Domain Space · · Score: 1

    Not to mention uk.ac.warwick.cu (*not* in Cuba, for those who aren't sharing the in-joke).

  3. Re:US != .COM on Network Solutions Changes WHOIS · · Score: 1

    OTOH, if what you are proposing is the forcible closing of .com and the move of all the US companies to the .US domain, that might be a good idea....

    Also, close .org, .net, .gov and .mil while you're at it. I have no problems with .int, as long as the organisations which operate in that domain have a UN charter or similar.

    Apparently the poor (state-by-state) organisation of the .us domain was the late Jon Postel's doing - not something that was mentioned often in the hagiographic works that were written following his death.
