The character Eliza is one of the better female characters created by a man to appear in a recent work of fiction. Could you comment on how difficult it is to create a female character and make her realistic - especially a seemingly very modern female character plopped into eighteenth-century Western Europe? And is the Eliza character in the Baroque Cycle based on anyone in particular? (Aimée du Buc de Rivery seems a likely candidate.)
I have to add I've read everything you've written and the Baroque Cycle is the best so far! Please don't take eight years for the next one (though it was well worth the wait.)
Not to mention that there isn't a decent system for printing b&w from digital yet.
I'm surprised that this article even made/. to begin with. It is very, very superficial look at the question it asks. For those truly interested there is lots of information available easily on the web at sites like http://www.luminous-landscape.com/ and http://www.37thframe.com/
The real story with digital is that medium format is dead. Large format still isn't touched by it, so don't sell your 4x5 view camera just yet, but that Hasselblad is a goner in 5 years unless you switch to a digital back for it.

It is free to read. You have to sit through a very short ad to get a free one day pass.
This site is the only one that I will go through a registration process or an advertisement to view. Mostly for This Modern World
The article itself on Salon.com is just an overview. No big loss if you don't read it. However, I think it is interesting that the independent press seems to share the same values about open source that most of the people here seem to have.

I was around in 1995 doing Java development and I have to say that this article is, indeed, flamebait.
V. Vinge's "True Names" was published in 1981, well ahead of Gibson (or Donaldson's) works...

Most people say "listserv" which isn't correct because LISTSERV is a mainframe based MLM.
