For those who haven't, it shows tons of virgin forest spread over the US in 1620 and 1850, then a dramatic reduction by 1920, and recently some regrowth, but still only perhaps a quarter of what was here pre-massive deforestation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
This is a great argument for the work of environmentalists.
What you think of as his literary ADD is what makes his settings so believable. He treats the reader as someone who inhabits his bizarro-world, letting interesting side details in for local color, but only putting emphasis on the things pertaining to the story itself.
Your etymology is false. Republic comes not from represent+public but from the Latin phrase res publica, meaning literally the public affair, and coming to mean the whole government. Republic comes from the Roman model of government, not some combination of English words.
With two screens and the power to render two scenes simultaneously, this thing could render a scene from two slightly different viewpoints. Simply limit one screen to each eye, and POOF! a truly three dimensional gaming experience. I really hope some game developers make use of this.

what precisely is mr katz proposing here? that books, in their current form, are outdated? that the pubolic wants to modify it's stories as easily as it filters the news it gets through cnn.com? books are artistic expression. there's no room interactivity in a medium like literature. suggesting that the publishing industry is making a bad decision by not changing what it publishes is just silly. the publishing industry doesn't change because the book does not change. the author's words are it. int 21h; the silicate
it's not only possible for particles with imaginary mass to move faster than the speed of light, it is necessary. the speed of light c, is the limit of velocity as energy->infinity for both real- and imaginary-massing particles. the only difference is which end of velocity c bounds. for particles with real mass, c is the upper limit on velocity, while c is the lower limit on velocity for particles with imaginary mass. an interesting corollary is that a particle with imaginary mass travels faster with less energy. thus, a real-mass particle with energy zero has no velocity (0), while an imaginary-mass particle with energy zero has an infinite velocity. now, i don't know that infinite velocity is allowed (something with infinite velocity would have to occupy every point in space at any given time), but it sure does make things interesting. or maybe my physics is just off. int 21; the silicate
so you're saying that all men ander twenty are inherently sexist, despite any sort of experiences that we (the obviously uneducated, backwards, totally-produced-by-social-forces, unable-to-make-a-rational-decision youth) might have had that differ from your exalted person's. consider, perhaps, that your life is not the precise model for every member of your sex (or gender, if you prefer). at least don't declaim your opinions as if they were straight from the mouth of god.

Did you even look at your own link?

What he really needs is an editor to catch his sentence fragments.
