Sure, nothing's ever perfect, and that's a pretty good example. It would take some whitelisting if someone typically writes like that. However, one day out of frustration with Yahoo's filters I made a couple of my own filters on the words "urgent" and "dearest", and that nuked 30% of my spam straight to trash instead of my inbox.
Edward Gibbon sent a message through a spirit medium that he would like to offer his novelization services for Decline and Fall of the American Empire.
(Satire) Sorry, no. In Today's Post 911 World, rational decision making can never be the same again. We have to Respond to an Event like this. Remember the Day That Skype Was Down forever!
In other censorship news, all discussions of Averages and Means have been blocked, because 7 years of past performance will never matter again. (/Satire)
Once upon a morning dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my classroom door. "'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my classroom door - Only this, and nothing more."
Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; - vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow - sorrow for the lost 4.0 - For the rare and radiant GPA whom the angels name The Four - Nameless here for evermore.
I read it more for the corporate-mood stories, following who's deciding what on existing tech. For things like the Ubuntu Unity announcement, I note that as like a calendar date to revisit in the future to see if it still happens, and if it does, to pay attention then.
Isn't the House of Representatives composed of Amazon, Ebay, Banks, RIAA,...wait, you mean we elect people-persons and not legal-persons? I thought RIAA was doing just fine as Majority Whip.
I dunno. Newcomers can be good at being told to ignore stuff in class.
I had grand fun with basic and then the first time I looked at Java the indecipherable cruft whacked me in the head and killed any interest I previously had.
You could both draw lines and use built-in Sprites. (What other machine had native Sprites? I still don't know.) I burnt out because at 12 I was writing racecar games, shoot-em's, and HuntWumpus-LORD crossovers. I can still write little exercises to diagram problems I am pondering.
Then the minute I looked at C & Java the lights went off and I lost interest in being a pro dev. Today my interests are all about exploring existing apps.
Actually, do you know how to do something like a Peek on a webpage? "If character #427 on _____.com page is a 1 , then CanaryTest = True" It would be a form of notification of sites being redacted to snip out the Bad Things.
Okay, you found a couple of major weaknesses in my post.
I think the written SF has been decades ahead of the movie side. That list of authors is almost where I left off, plus a few years later. I didn't follow the 90's literary SF much.
Perception is an odd thing, so I will grant that local impressions could seriously skew results. Suppose I compromise and say I missed it by a year, and backdate my general idea to 1981 to cover your results. The theme still is that right in that time frame computers were fresh and new. Then borrowing your next remark, we are agreeing that today's PC's are "Good Enough".
Then let's let both mobile sets and tablets hit their plateau, because I see them as basically a matched pair. Then yep, "who knows what's next".
My one guess is we are just on the verge of Monitor Glasses. I believe that will do fascinating things to the computing landscape.

Mark Zuckerberg's Executive Assistant called. She says she already has all that, and has forwarded your list per your request.
So he gets 6 months for *selling* *35,000* games, but Jammie Thomas-Rasset gets 1.X Million for copying 24 songs?

Maybe we could get Dan Quayle out of retirement/where-ever for the Apocalypse Ticket.
Why can't we just have a rule that any email that has more than 3 spelling errors gets nuked?

Yeah, I'm getting too old for vaporware. Now I try only to pay attention to "on shelves now".
Why poke around to break Ubuntu when an approved upgrade will do it for you?
Yeah, for $1000 you can either get a new gaming rig or a credits mention.
