The Not-Quite-Human Rights Movement

Posted by timothy on from the b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-beeep dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Yale University hosted a conference on transhumanism which organizers say served to coalesce transhumanism from a subculture to a 'movement.' They're even sketching out where the role of violence becomes legitimate in the quest to become a cyborg. But most of the talk was of peaceful integration and continuation of democratic values."

    Despite appearances, this is a very on-topic post.

    You see, you'll be playing the DNF beta on your holideck when you receive a message from Star Fleet that the Cyborgs have begun thier invasion.

    Are you kidding? There are maybe a dozen or so irregular verbs in spanish, and similar numbers in French and Italian (although I dont speak the latter two, so I cant be sure). Latin itself (at least Church latin) has even fewer. English, on the other hand, has dozens and dozens. English (and the other Germanic languages) have far more irregularities than the Romance (aka Italic) languages.
