This is what the Guide has to say about Douglas Adams:
Douglas Adams, a figure from a fictious universe where the Earth still exists, is most famous for having invented the reality. Unfortunately he died before he could finish his work. His grave is found easily, because he's spinning rapidly due to what his followers did to his work by trying to imitate him, poorly.
Probably the attendants will keep everyone informed about their progress on Twitter, and afterwards blog about their success, and maybe even put some videos on YouTube about how they are no longer internet addicts.
As far as spelling goes, how can you not learn to spell more correctly, as auto-correcting features SHOW you how to correctly spell what you're trying to spell?
In deed. May spelling know is match better then be four eye cute relay on the computer too Czech it.
Probably you are trying to say that the computers will have to be proficient in this new discipline.
It's not that hard, either. Just math. We have the equations. They're well-understood. Some physics grad students could probably write the basic engine for such an endeavour. I'd worry more about $UNKNOWN_EXOTIC_EFFECT pushing something off-course.
Actually that was the same thought I immediatly had when reading this. Also, even if you already have published a book, how can any contract the Author's Guild makes with Google affect your rights, unless you explicitly applied as a member of the Guild?
Where in the article did he say than any of those are bad? (Well, actually Morse code can be useful still today; at least the SOS sign should be known by everyone)
I did set up a 2012 web site [comingin2012.com]. It has recent news relating to 2012. It'll be running until the ice caps melt and flood all the coastal cities of the world.:)
If that sort of web design gets common in 2012, I see why the world would end:-)
Are you not fussed if everyone in your town cheats on their income tax?
If everyone in your town cheats on their income tax, then by definition so do you. Of course there's no reason to be fussed about that, because you can simply stop cheating.
This is easily solved with an internal web page listing all computers together with their important info (where it is, who's sitting at it, and what special properties it has). I cannot remember the properties of dozens of computers anyway, so I'll always look into our internal list if I have special needs; it doesn't matter if I copy/paste a serial number of a cute name. Moreover, I'll have to see if the computer is available anyway, which the web page will readily tell me, but the name won't.

Make your work so bad that no one would even like to think about a sequel. :-)

Indeed, the lying robots have already been reported on Slashdot on January 2008.
So if we combine all recent developments, we have evil, armed robots that identify us as food, can hunt for food by themselves, can lie and deceive.
Well, there's a picture just besides the Slashdot story. Why not take that?
You mean you always have misspelled "spelling"? :-)
Having a spell checker is indeed important. If you cast an unchecked spell, it might do something different than intended!

You mean, something like the Pioneer anomaly?
Actually that was the same thought I immediatly had when reading this. Also, even if you already have published a book, how can any contract the Author's Guild makes with Google affect your rights, unless you explicitly applied as a member of the Guild?
But wouldn't it be suspicious if those well known European routers apparently routed to well-known American routers through obscure private routers?

Get off my lawn! :-)

Indeed, they forgot the most important:
Slashdot always had an idle section.
According to the summary, he does, as witnessed by the fact that he already wrote a successful closed-source book about the topic.
(Yes (but ((many people) (do (not like)) (so (many) parentheses)) in (their code)))
Obviously Java is weakly typed :-)
The ultimate answer to your question (sort of)
If everyone in your town cheats on their income tax, then by definition so do you. Of course there's no reason to be fussed about that, because you can simply stop cheating.

Also, I've yet to find a piece of software which at every start displays a lengthy "piracy is evil" spot before I can start to work with the program.
So who got Sauron?
Well, I guess it won't work too well if they speak about how they removed Barbara, took her apart and used some parts to upgrade Alice ...
