Very sad... R.I.P, I'm sure you and Stanley are having a grand old chat on the other side of the monolith...

Re: Arthur C. Clarke has died.
And film maker Anthony Minghella, who also died yesterday, will probably offer to do a remake.

RIP AC Clarke and Tony.

DT: Um, why can you not post on this one?

Don't know how to start. If, say, I had done anything like even one of Clarke's achievements, like postulating geosynchronous orbits, I'd feel like I'd done a life's work.

Clarke's also, I think, the last one of the classic SF writers to kick off. I'm a bit down about that.

True. But there is a Quantum of Solace in knowing he lasted longer than that proto-hack L Ron Hoover and his First Church of Appliantology.

If that's true then you know exactly how I really feel about you.

You've made that perfectly obvious on a number of occasions, and for what it's worth, I feel exactly the same way about you.
