Yea, I was thinking Niven and not Heinlein. And Footfall for the falling tanker bars.

It was a test. Did you mention it to them?

I just switched to my Firefox on Windows box and it worked just fine. Created my account, confirmed it, and signed the petition. Then posted it to my Facebook page

Interestingly it seems I can't create an account with Firefox or Safari on a Mac, not sure why or I'd have signed it as well. It comes up as a blank Blue slide-up. I'll try from the Windows box in a few.

She wasn't passing by. She was in the rec-center with her 3yo kid and she's African-American so the offensive SSID was targeted at her race as well as the Jews.

Don't make it your SSID.

70's as well. I took Mechanical Drafting classes as part of a series of classes designed to see where you'd fit best. There was a woodworking class, automotive, and electrical class in the series. I went from Mechanical Drafting on to Architectural Drawing classes and then got a job as a graphics artist. From there I moved to a computerized typesetter (CompuGraphic Editwriter) and then to computers and programming.
Fun stuff.

And LAN Manager and 3+Open. The worst thing was when they finally put some of the cli stuff into a GUI app, many of us LAN Man admins were pretty pleased with how much easier it was to manage the stupid servers. Tacking 3+Open on top of LAN Manager and OS/2 was just a mess.

Well, I have a couple of thousand gaming books. Quite a few are purchases through momentum. I bought the core book(s) and modules, ran a few games and still like it but don't have a gaming group. But there are a very small percentage that I've actually read through.
I have probably maybe 400 computer related books of which most are used as a reference source.
Maybe a third of my comic books are unread by me since I traded a box of old train stuff for three long boxes of comic books.
Of the several thousand novels and short story compilations, with only a few exceptions, I've read all of them. There are a few books that I bought because they read well in the store but when getting home I found they were just not something I could get my head around at the moment. I do know that some time period later I'll either have a better mindset and be able to grok the book(s) or I'll purge it.
