I liked the sequel, Anvil of Stars, a lot better. Moving Mars had a lot of interesting concepts, like Thinkers and Bell Continuum concepts. Eon and its sequel Eternity were also excellent. Queen of Angels also had a number of interesting concepts. Pyschlone was the only book that ever scared me as an adult.

Submission + - TSA Subpoenas Bloggers over New Security Directive
Hugh Pickens writes: "The NY Times reports that TSA special agents have served subpoenas to travel bloggers Steve Frischling and Chris Elliott demanding that they reveal who leaked a TSA directive outlining new screening measures that went into effect the same day as the Detroit airliner incident. Frischling said he met with two TSA special agents for about three hours and was forced to hand over his laptop computer after the agents threatened to interfere with his contract to write a blog for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines if he didn't cooperate and provide the name of the person who leaked the memo outlining new security measures that would be apparent to the traveling public. ''It literally showed up in my box,'' Frischling told The Associated Press. ''I do not know who it came from.'' Frischling says he provided the agents a signed statement to that effect. The leaked directive included measures such as screening at boarding gates, patting down the upper legs and torso, physically inspecting all travelers' belongings, looking carefully at syringes with powders and liquids, requiring that passengers remain in their seats one hour before landing, and disabling all onboard communications systems, including what is provided by the airline. In a December 29 posting on his blog, Elliott said he had told the TSA agents at his house that he would call his lawyer and get back to them."

It was even worse than that on the PDP-10s.... The operating system used both SIXBIT characters and 7-bit ASCII characters using variable-length bit-field instructions (36 bit words => 5 chars and 1 bit left over).
