Other than extra context for processing by software, what does this add over Usenet? (And forget resumes. Handing your resume to a broadcast medium is foolish.)
You might find that years of video games, rapid cut scene-shift TV and music videos have trained you up for that style. (Definitely 20 minutes into the future.;) Those three books (Stand, Sheep, Shock) are not an easy read the first few times.
Maybe he can't figure out how to work the speed dial feature? (Pointy-Headed Boss) Or maybe by the Protocol of Antaries, all Clippyware was outlawed. (Notice how the EMH has to be told the nature of the medical emergency? He's programmed against saying anything like "You seem to have a phaser burn to the chest, would you like me to patch that?")
A lot of authors started as fans, and still are fans. (It's interesting to observe the evolution of some people from fanboy to respectable pro over the years.;)
Yeah, what's the point of that? It'll just deliver a cupful of liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea. (Or it'll just get it completely wrong and connect you with El Tigré Hutt.)
I wish I knew how to clean off those pressed fairies that keep flying into the back of my laptop's transparent screen when I'm working down in the garden! Windex and Mr Clean just smear them around, euugh!
Spielberg would make a dog's dinner out of it and call it a movie. (Not so much a knock at Spielberg as at most attempts to capture PKD on the screen: much the same as the way a killing jar captures butterflies.)
If they used a Bob Newhart ending, Dr Sam Beckett would wake up in bed after completing his oddball leap into the future. Who he'd wake up in bed with, I dunno--maybe Al?
The Deconstruction of Falling Stars in Babylon 5 used the playback from the future idea (one million years in the future!) to cover some of what happened after the end of B5. (The episode was meant as a series ender just in case the 5th year was never done.)
Only the first verse. The last uses Dare instead of Could. Remembering Blake is never wasted because bits of his work are frequently used in titles for stories, espisodes: Rough Beast, Fearful Symmetry, The Forests of the Night, etc. If you spot a Blake reference that the writer carefully planted, God gives you both a gold star--or a free iPod!

Start combining projects: Steadycam on your IR camera mounted on a kite...

Just don't get the crew from Andromeda to do it. (At least make sure the transmitter is off before dropping out of character.)
Dartmouth. If you used LET, did the computer really have to do it? They should have been more definite and used a MAKE, FORCE or DOITORDIE statement.
It's on this week, I think.
Hey, the Beatles were bigger than Glod! (But since Glod was a dwarf from near the Ramtops, that's not saying much.)

Gee thanks, now I feel very old. (Is that in people years or software years?) I still have the disks too.

I'm not sure how they'll represent the this. Perhaps fractional parts of Bill Gates? "You must be Bill Gates' Big Toe rich to get on this ride."
Yep, I've read books like that. My throat ached for a week afterwards!
I don't think SFWA restricts its membership to Americans only.

I just hope that it's an open source singularity. Otherwise the future could get ugly.
I thought the RIAA calls it theft and piracy? ;)
Fannish politics can be tricky

"smart people don't reinvent the wheel.." unless they can make it rounder.

And why not? Clippy knows everything!

Nine new cat toys/scratch-posts. Cool!
