From my perspective, as the author of a handful of unpublished SF novels, the difficulty is that the major publishing houses right now have little interest in producing works outside of perceived "mainstream" genres. The large publishing groups want works that will immediately hit the marketplace and sell 100,000 copies -- and that spells doom for the new SF author.
The reason there are no new "icons" in SF is because the publishers have not given any new authors a chance at a wide audience, and responding with sentiments about "making the novels free" does not cut the mustard because the internet has distribution problems of its own. Just ask John Sundman.
Programming is programming; solving problems is solving problems. What tool you use is just as pointless of a reason to express bigotry as the color of one's skin or one's gender is.
Both Yahoo! and Amazon (at the very least) were doing this in 1995, well before May 1996. Proving prior art on this patent is trivial.

Have your recent law-related experiences (for lack of a more elegant term) brought about any major philosophical changes in your life? By this, I mean not necessarily computer related changes, but in all aspects of your perception of the world.
Number of patches is a poor description of security. When exploits are discovered for RH, they are quite timely on issuing patches. When Win2k exploits are discovered, they often go unpatched for months, then one "mega"-patch is delivered.
Congratulations on not having to patch your insecure win2k box.
You've got Akira Toriyama and Akira Kurosawa mixed up, I think. Toriyama (the creator of Dragonball) is alive and well. Kurosawa (famed film director) died several years ago.
If I want to intentionally put a bogus answer into a poll, such randomization doesn't affect it at all. Quite often, I will answer a poll not in the way that I actually feel, but in the way that interests me the most at that particular moment. This randomization doesn't affect that.
So the best you can do is make sure that your page displays on as many as you can get ahold of, and put in effort to ensure display as best you can on the ones you can't see. The best way to do this is to stick to standardized HTML, because then you are subscribing to a coding standard that those browsers are aware of, rather than your own arbitrary methods that the browsers are NOT aware of.
The modifications described in the article would prove useful for NON-vision impaired players. More audio clues means more overall clues as to where things are at and what is happening in the game.
I see competitive players using Quake mods that provide this functionality in addition to normal visual and audio assistance.
If one uses standardized HTML, it displays well in IE, Mozilla, and even (mostly) in Netscape 4. I guess most web developers are too lazy to bother to standardize their code, even though the W3C helps you.
Your math is way off. Using the Japanese numbers, 235 (already shown) + 54 (new episodes) = 291 (completed DBZ run). They're going to finish DBZ this year, and likely start AT next September.
In terms of design, navigability, tasteful display of content, and ability to be rendered in many, many, browsers, no other personal site comes close to this one. I wish more people would use it as a model.
I strongly recommend the book Heisenberg's War by Thomas Powers. It provides a much deeper background into this meeting (and the entire German nuclear arms program) and is quite readable. Here's a bn.com link to the book if you want to avoid amazon.

Yes, he should be. I'd also like to see what Terry Gilliam could come up with.
Yes, often scripters are biased against.
No, it is not fair.

And that's why you hide under the AC banner.

Exactly. We need to throw them in the water first and see if they float, because as we all know, witches are made of wood!
Memento used a storytelling style very similar to what you are describing. In fact, it's easy to see that story being done in a blog style.
