Hung from meathooks somehwere.

That's pretty close Anung. Altho a lot of people would dispute whether Kolhammer's vision of what's better is right. Leo: Glad you're enjoying it. altho i've never of anyone reading nonsequentially! I have a very strong idea what's in the painting 'The Death of bin Laden" but of course by...

If you get fired i'll send you back my royalty from whatever cover price you paid. And a chocolate. Chocolate makes us feel better.

Start with a much earlier date of independence, say 1962. And throw in an expansion of Sukarno's Konfrontasi to PNG. Take it from there.

Should be. It was released 25 Oct in the US and UK. But sometimes it can take a week to actually roll onto the shelves. The first reviews are up on Amazon so somebody has laid hands on the US editon. And I've removed those pesky fusion drives.

Hmmm, it's been a while but I did look at the Saratoga because I wanted to use her, but I seem to recall there was some problem with the timing. When I needed her she was in dry dock or something like that. i could spend a day researching this, or I could get back to my deadline for book 3. I...

I saw it on Amazon yesterday. Due out next year. It looks very long five or six hundred pages and appears to be a collaboration. But go see for yourself. I gotta stop wasting time and get back on my deadline.

Hmm. I don't know that it would have made all that much difference. Dick Cheney might even have been a better salesman for the neo-con agenda. But my guess, as an outsider, is that not much would have changed vis a vis Iraq or US domestic policy. Which is a bit dull for an AH board. Maybe...

I would have had Crowe as the Tasmanian sea captain. It'd be Master and Commander all over again. Except that Russ would insist his character becomes the leading role.

I would have had a much poorer childhood. No adventures. No fighting pirates and monsters. Nobody to talk to too when the lights went out and the blankets gathered around my head.

As I recall, there was a storm surge which prodced a giant wave that looked a lot cooler than that cgi piece of crap in Deep Impact, or Asteroid or whatever it was. I think you're right about northern Africa becoming a nice place to live. But the societies currently resident there probably...

Tom Berenger for Mike Havel Craig T. Nelson for Ken Larsson Christina Applegate for Signe Larsson Danny Glover for Will Hutton

Well, I wouldn't lose a lot of sleep over the science in the movie. But the premise is interesting to play with. I just had a look at the movie's web site and altho it's very difficult to navigate, it seems that as a rough rule of thumb everything above the Tropic of Cancer was snap frozen. So...

I remember watching T.D.A.T while on tour in Melbourne for Weapons of Choice. I love a big dumb movie as much as the next guy. But I came out wondering, what if I actually happened. As best I recall the new ice seemed to strike most heavily at the northern hemispere, leaving the south largely...

well, those they could grab, they did. but some, like philby, took off.

Syphon: I'm afraid i'd be giving away a big spolier to paste the Sanctions here, but you've got the general idea. If Sanction 4 is summary execution in the field, then sanction five must be something worse, but not necessarilly torture. Afterall, that could be Sanction 2 or 3. It's all explained...

You're getting warmer... w a r m e r.... :p

The defining chracteristic of dictatorships is that they dictate. Theorectically the more authoritarian they become the more rigid they should be. Because supreme executive power is vested in a Satlin or a Kim il Sung, governance becomes their personal whim and if they fuck up, as they must...

There are other sanction levels. 1-5, to be exact. Why don't you take a guess as to what they might be. ;)

Up to the publishers, but i'd have thought aug next year for Aust. Sept/Oct in the nthn hemisphere.
