Techies On Ice: The Coming Age of Cryonics

Posted by timothy on from the cool-idea dept.

Frozen dinner writes: "SiliconValley.com is running a great article about technology workers' fascination with cryonics. From the article: "[the] otherworldly possibility of life after death [tantalizes] techies of all stripes -- mathematicians, physicists, software developers, computer programmers -- who make up a vast majority of those who have signed up for cryonics suspension. The family feud over deep-freezing baseball slugger Ted Williams has only intensified interest in cryonics in Silicon Valley and in the greater Bay Area, already a hotbed for the experimental and controversial process.""

  1. Microsoft Story? by danpbrowning · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Did anyone else see the "Microsoft wont use DCMA" story that briefly showed on the front page, with 3 comments?

    The link is http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=02/08/08/204224 9&mode=thread&tid=109

    But it has dissapeared! The gist of the story was the MS wasn't going to use the DCMA to stop some guy from posting security problems, and it even said, "Kudos to Microsoft".

      Nope, but I saw that happen before a few months ago. Now watch us get modded into oblivion :)
