Heh, if you make it "Who Goes There", then you've got the original title of
the best (IMO) horror/SF movie of all time :
John Carpenter's The Thing !

While we're OT :
I know I can read reviews on Amazon et al, but I'm interested in the
opinion of fellow techno folk like me :-)
Members here obviously can give a better account of realism - or lack
thereof...

Question :
-------------
Has anyone read Dan Brown's "Digital Fortress" yet ? Is it good ?
I'm considering getting it...

Hay K,
No, but I will before seeing the movie as I have with his past stuff. I
think he is a fun read, the caliber of Card, Herbert, Brin, the old
guys, maybe Simmons, IMHO.

Knock, knock. Always reminds me of the Prairie Home Companion annual
joke shows...

Did you hear what happened in the binary race? ... Zero won.

Best, Dan.

Just remember: There are 10 kinds of people; those that understand binary and those that don't.

It is not possible to use anything else but base-10.

I read it ages ago It doesn't stick in my memory, therefore I assume
that it wasn't too good, probably an acceptable read, since I finished
it, but it doesn't jump instantly to memory like good books do, IIRC I
felt it was a bit predictable.
