I found one of the biggest problems i had while reading to book was how the writer refered to episdoes by thier production number. This made it hard to tell what season it was from. Often times when talking about an empisode for more than a parigraph or two it became hard to keep track of what he was talking about
When Yahoo and Excite tried to do this years ago everyone made fun of them. Now it seems that if google does it - its cool - Google can do no wrong. I love Gmail and good...dont get me wrong.
The good thing is that as good as added tons of new stuff over years the front page has not been jammed full of adds and paid links.
In a way isnt snow crash a Sequel to Crytonoicron? And dimond age a Sequel to snowcrash?
A Greater social commentary

Neil,
How do you see your books (Snow Crash in particular) fitting in with the greater social criticisms of our time? Is there a over arching point that you are trying to convey? How do you see your novels fitting in with the greater commentary of our culture as portrayed in cyberpunk?
We got the the moon the first time in less then 10 years. We have much more advanced rockets and computer technology then we did in 1969, so it doesnt make sense that it is going to take that long to work program back up.
I miss the days of HyperCard. I spent most of my middle school years in a small little computer lab teaching myself how to you it. Then the school got read of it for that bastard program hyperstudio with its color and sound. I weep every day for those lost days.
yeah, my college has great printers in the labs, i dont have to pay for ink or paper.

"Fast burners and digital recording equipment tied into the sound system would make it easy to get these discs out minutes after a concert ends. What would be sad is that most likely, encores and bonus sets would be lost if they cut the recording early"
Small Bands already put there live shows out there. Furthur has been up and running for some time and there is still an active trading community on the USNET boards. The bands not makeing any money on any of this but they are getting thier names out.
This makes about as much since as p2p will kill the music industry. I think DVD can only help the small guys get films into the main stream. Artisan Entertainment has done a great job bringing indepented films to the mass market

Man i paid like 50$. I figure thats a good deal for a beta-max copy.
I just bought a bootleg on ebay...like 3 days ago. I wonder if i can get out if it.
A show has to have 100 episodes before it can go in to syndication.
Are there that many episodes?

i think not. I'm all for 3rd partys and everything, but the they are much more effective at the local level where they can have an impact.

Is there any plan in the works for interviews with other 3rd party or major Candidates?
Well we already know Olaf made it big. Jay was wears a Berserker world tour short in Stricks back
This may be a dumb question; does this mean the Nextel cell phones will have to be reprogrammed to work with the new frequency?

I really really like the 3rd Matrix film. I'm a sucker for Dragonball Z fights.
It gets my award for best ever.
As a note, the news paper in hanover how carrys a great new comic called Far Side. The locals still don't get it.
I feel that Richard S. Westfall The Life of Isaac Newton is a much more fair look at the life of Newton.

Its sad. On top of the lip synching most of the music is canned a the band just plays along.
Small Bands already put there live shows out there. Furthur has been up and running for some time and there is still an active trading community on the USNET boards. The bands not makeing any money on any of this but they are getting thier names out.
Go listen to live music, fuck RIAA
