I have been reading Alastair Reynolds novels recently. I found Pushing Ice in an airport bookstore and ripped through it. The Revelation Space series was also pretty good.

Reynolds in an astronomer turned novelist. Very interesting reading.

RIAA Backs Down Again in Chicago 126

Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday May 03, 2007 @06:30PM from the can't-win-them-all dept.

NewYorkCountryLawyer writes "The RIAA seems to have a problem making things stick in the Windy City. It has once again backed down in BMG v. Thao, after suing a misidentified defendant. Same thing occurred last October in Elektra v. Wilke. In the Thao case, the RIAA based its case on information that the cable modem used to partake in file sharing was registered to Mr. Thao. However, it turned out that Mr. Thao was not even a subscriber (pdf) of the ISP (pdf) at the time of the alleged file-sharing, and therefore did not have possession of the suspect cable modem at that time."
