And you assume your air supply and environment are your _private_property_ ? Wow. Talk about misconception.
Glad to see this book reviewed.

I've red it when I was around 14 back in Russia. I feel that Lem has a lot to offer to English-speaking world out there, and with a little help from Slahsdot, it may finally happen. While the review is very positive, it doesn't do justice to the book. Read and you will see. Other good books by Lem include "Invincible" and "Eden". "Invincible" is more traditional, but "Eden" is almost as dark and alien as "Solaris". There are other books by Lem that deserve mention, too (Go see the list at Amazon). Some of his early writing smacks of Communism, but he grew out of that stage eventually.

According to InfoWorld (http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl? 990413.eegatesmit.htm), this is the list of greatest CS advancements to be placed in time capsule in the building's lobby:
"The capsule, an over-sized, 150-pound lead sculpture of a paper bag, was designed by architect Frank Gehry. The LCS honor roll includes Daniel Bricklin and Robert Frankston, for their spreadsheet project in 1979, Tim Berners-Lee for his 1989 creation of the World Wide Web, Robert Metcalfe for his 1973 invention of Ethernet, Robert Scheifler and James Gettys for their development of the X-Windows system in 1983, and more than 50 others -- including Gates for his 1975 authoring of Altair Basic."
