57) You post into "You know you've been playing too much SMAC when..." more than once
58) You actually remember several similar threads in the past which you've all read with enthusiasm
59) You start living in turns instead of real-time
60) You won't dare to go out before you've learned to do Empath Song right

That's easy one. When you do stuff like that:
ftp://netdots.myftp.org/Vitaly4.exe
For all the paranoid once:
1) Stay paranoid, it is healthy.
2) This exe is free of trojans/viruses etc. It contains an animated talking face created by CrazyTalk (http://www.reallusion.com/) which exports to exe files.
Oh and the talking face is me, a few years ago.

Don't know if anyone will find these funny, but anyway...
When you are looking for a Particle Impactor to take with you as you go past the local church in case the bible-thumpers attending mass pronounce vendetta on you for being a godless democratic/autocratic type, hoping to redeem the souls of your people.
When you flip through TV channels and look through your TV guide expecting the Morganlink 3DVision interview on the Longevity Vaccine to be on.
The next time someone complains about Microsoft being a greedy monopoly you explain to them "They never sought to become a monopoly. Their products were just so good that nobody saw the need to compete with them."
You wire up your computer to the ground and try to upload the entire contents of your hard drive (after collecting encylopedia information on the last 6000 years of human civilization from Encarta) into the 'fragile neural network of the planetmind', explaining to those concerned that you want to start your 'Ascent to Transcendence'.
When over the phone, you start calling people by their name with 'earth' in front of it (ie. Hey earthjohn. How's it going earthjohn? Did you hear about what earthbob did yesterday?)
You blame your insomnia and nightmares on "The Dream Twister".
You wonder why there's no 'golden-age' at the local grammar school, even if the number of high-achieving 'talents' exceed the mediocrity and there are no 'drones' around.
When you go to Scotland, search a local bookshop for "We Must Consent, 101 Sure-fire Pick-up Lines for Lady Dierdre" and then turn up at a nightclub, hoping that she will be there.
You start a search in India for Osama Bin Laden's estranged identical twin brother, hoping that he will help to preserve human rights.
Before enrolling at university, you ask if Prokhor Zakharov is their 'Provost'. Then you ask if they have retroviral capabilities or are researching Retroviral Engineering.
You buy a factory and start looking for genejacks to run it, knowing that the people who complain about you tyrannising them will be remanded to your punishment sphere next-door. Then you look through the phonebook for Sheng-ji Yang, with the intention of calling him to thank him for his 'gift to industry'.
You worry that the foreman of the nearest construction site will start a violent rebellion against the middle and higher classes.
You hire a houseboat, park it out at sea and start searching for your extra mineral gem bonus in the water surrounding it.
