Great if you like weird science fiction.

Also:
Edmond Hamilton
Stanley G. Weinbaum
Henry Kuttner
Leigh Brackett

Last would suggest, The Science Fiction Hall of Fame compliations give you a nice selection of works from 1929 to 1969 (if you can find volume 3)
Volumes 1, 2a and 2b have been reprinted fairly recently.

Drupal 7 adds the ability to specify a compressed module file to load, either from a url or by browsing locally, and install it from the Admin interface. Also your can do one click updates on modules.

D7 has made a significant effort to providing a more friendly Administration UI experience, while maintaining (and adding) alot of awesomeness under the hood.

Read all the System of the World on my Palm, don't own physical copies.

When we went on vacation we both took our Palms with several books on them.

Still buy some core technical books hardcover but for others use my libraries' 30,000 ebook collection for spot reference.

Still buy some magazines hardcopy, but core news et.al. done online.

But still looking for THE killer reading device (good resolution in sunlight, long battery life, wide availability of material).
