  2. the New Enviornmentalism! by rneches · · Score: 2 · on NASA Wants To Invade Mars With Glowing JellyPlants
    This could establish a whole new trend for the enviornmental movement - the protection of non-life. In all probability, there is no life on mars, and if there ever was, it's probably dead and gone.

    So, wouldn't you have to establish a Wildlifeless Preserve, to uh, preserve the natural state of wildlife on Mars (which is to say, either dead or never alive)?

    I guess it might make sense, but you'd have to sort of redefine preservation a little. Most nature preservation efforts and laws focus on things that are either alive, were once alive, or somehow relate to things that are alive. After all, nearly every square inch of Earth's surface contains life for some sort, so that's our bias. Even Antarctica - although not exactly in teaming multitudes or anything.

    So what might this mean here on Earth? If there were a truely lifeless place on Earth, would it be better (in therms of the enviornment) to try to keep it that way, or do we have something of an obligation as living organizms to try to spread life to new places?

    Sort of reminds me of some stuff from schismatrix.

  3. In the Beginning was the Command Line by Talgor · · Score: 1 · on Are Computers Getting Too Easy To Use?

    For those interested in another article (?) along the same lines, written by someone who has writing, not computers, as his profession, and therefore is quite good at it...


    http://www.cyberpunkproject.org/lib/in_the_begin ning_was_the_command_line/

    The article is long, but very well-written and from the point-of-view of the USER. I recommend to everyone.

    Didn't Gibson "give his blessing" to Johnny Mnemonic (which in my opinion was horrible)? I've lost most faith in Hollywood adapations of great science fiction novels. Tho, from what I've heard, Neuromancer should at least be interesting.. the director's the same guy that made at least a couple of Richard D. James' (Aphex Twin) videos. Lots of style.

    Anyways.. for those that've only seen the Johnny Mnemonic movie.. read this..

  6. For those who don't and should know....... by Cplus · · Score: 4 · on The New World of Gnutella

    The Hacker Manifesto was written back in the ancient eighties by a hacker named Mentor. Read it.......it may be about you.

    Also of interest may be the Hacker's Ethic. Something of a code that should be lived by, particularly by those reading these pages. It's where the, "Informationwants/should be free", quote comes from.
