Johnny Omaha's Late Night Craving

[In which our hero ruefully ponders how even servo food seems edible at 3am.]

Questions questions.
 Part 1.

1) Stockwell, S. 1981. Kuranda Police Shooting, Legal Service Bulletin. Vol 6, pg 48-49.

2)  Flaming Carrot Comics issues 7, 10 and 11, Burbank, CA:Renegade Press, 1985 (issue 7).

3) Mobile phones may well cause cancers, especially if used frequently and for excessive amounts of time.

4) “Leon looks shocked, surprised. But the needles in the computer barely move. Holden goes for the inside of his coat. But big Leon is faster. His laser burns a hole the size of a nickel through Holden's stomach. Unlike a bullet, a laser causes no impact. It goes through Holden's shoulder and comes out of his back, clean as a whistle. Like a rag doll he falls back into the seat. Big slow Leon is already walking away, but he stops, turns, and with a little smile of satisfaction fires through the back of the seat.
As Leon walks out of the room the Voight-Kampff begins to blink, faint but steady."
{as an aside, it is interesting to see the difference between the script and the film, where Holden gets taken by surprise and is blown clear through the wall.  Kind of prefer the scene as written.  Blade Runner still rules though.}

5)  "That a society given so much to the use of diagrams and to the maneuvering objects in space, should at the same time develop means of communication which specialize not in sight but in sound”


Part 2.

Geocities.  Does anyone even remember Geocities anymore?  Feels like a long time ago, and i'm probably dating myself terribly, but what the hell.  Geocities was a website where people who had no idea what html was could make themselves a homepage.  They had a bunch of pre-built customisation options people could mix, match and edit to a degree to create their very own, for free, driven by   It was amazing.  It was fantastic.  It was exactly as terrible as you might imagine a place filled with millions of late 90's websites created by people with no idea what they were doing or how they were doing it would be.

The downfall of Geocities came in 99 when the site was bought out by Yahoo, who proceeded to make a series of very poor decisions from changing the terms of service in order to claim that everything posted to Geocities was owned by them, introducing premium hosting in an attempt to recoup some of the titanic amount of capital spent on aquiring the site, to alienating the existing userbase in just about every way possible.  Geocities haemorrhaged users post buyout, becoming a barren and forgotten wasteland over the next decade before Yahoo eventually shut the servers down for good in 2009.
If there is a lesson to be learned here it would be that popularity is delicate, elusive and fleeting, and that radical changes to the source in the interests of revenue can and will destroy everything that made it popular in the first place.
