Why would you abbreviate “solution”?

If I was gonna just watch one of those, which would you recommend?

Oh wow thanks!

Yes, I did that. I see in there the vinge novel but NOT the version with annotations.

Is this annotated version on the archive.org CD? I couldn't find it in https://archive.org/download/hugo_nebula_1993

Please mirror, because more people should have a copy of this: https://3e.org/vvannot This is Vinge's annotated copy of A Fire Upon the Deep. It has all his comments and discussion with editors and early readers. It

That makes no sense, and unfairly gives preference to huge corporations. If I can invent some new machine that will cost many millions of dollars to build, should I not be able to patent it?

How does what they said differ from simply saying the universe is expanding - but in a word-salady way that obfuscates it?

If you ask it outright, "The truck in the image appears to be carrying portable toilets, also known as portable restrooms or porta-potties. These are commonly used at outdoor events, construction sites, and other locations where perman
