For emergency backup, they could always switch back to paper diaries, except that their kid brothers could steal them and read them. Can't have that! (Let the pest browse it like everyone else.)
That ice-berg/glacier collision has also slowed down which is bad news for some penguins.
The ice blockage also threatens penguin breeding colonies, with tens of thousands of Adele penguin chicks facing starvation as parent birds are forced to trudge up to 110 miles to open sea to gather food. [snip]
The Americanized versions of Hitchhikers books are always annoying. It's like hitting little literary landmines all the time. DNA did talk about them at a reading (it was probably a FAQ part of his talks). I'm not sure if he was more annoyed, bewildered or entertained by the senselessness of some of the changes.
Katherine Kurtz was at a convention that had financial troubles. She donated a character for auction. (That is, the person that won the auction could be a bit character in a future Deryni work.) The bidding ended up going sky-high with a team of two winning the bidding war.
Of course, Steve Stirling wrote in members of his writers group in early books, and then killed most of them--and all for free!:)
The story doesn't say when the items were donated. It's quite possible that Clarion "passed the hat" around alumni who sent in items specifically to be auctioned.
I've got a Cory promotional flipbook, do you think it would get much on ebay?.. Oh.
They might have read Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency, although it helps to know the story about the poem first--you notice hints something is odd right at the start.
Brick computers are nothing new. Every few years they reappear, then fizzle and vanish as the hardware aged badly in six months. Possibly Apple has found a stable market niche now that the giga-hurts clock speed mania has slackened a little.
Possibly they were trying to cash in on the name Burberry from makers of expensive trenchcoats and other stuff. (Not that they need a trademark fight too.)

I'm trying to figure out how depressing a button reverses a press. (Since the button is depressed by pressing it.) Unpressed it?

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya Lee. You ripped-off my great-grandfather. Prepare to be served.
Fatal Subtraction is a good look at Hollyweird math.
I doubt human beings will ever replace the floppy.
No problem. Contact the Martian Embassy.

It's a sign of the times.
More like "What is thy bidding Master?"
They've been spamming him for two years. CAN-SPAM was only passed a year ago.
And Jay is very definitely one of the Good Guys.
SPAM is the Hormel product. You must mean that the government wants SPAM Prosciutto.

Didn't Douglas Adams write that?

I think they only insist on a demonstration of a working model for things like anti-gravity or perpetual motion.
A good Octoberfest will do that to you! (Born in KW)

Hell, the closest they come to Central Canada is out by the airport, and they're still in Mississauga!
Maybe it was named after that Xenu guy?
I thought it was largely forgotten from all that opium and the man from Porlock.
The last access that brought it down was by some guy from Porlock.
