    "surgeons and dental surgeons don't carry notes into the OR"
    That's because the O.R.-assistant is carrying the notes for them.
    On a more serious note, a basketful of data is wheeled into the OR (digitally or on paper)

    Late reply : ).
    I am almost sure qoined is a spelling mistake.
    As other posters have pointed out a cyborg is based on an organism, a born, living creature cybernetically enhanced. The Terminator would be a biobot or biochine, a biologically enhanced robot or machine.

    Ah, whether the basic part is built or born.

    I'm pretty sure that "to create a new word" is "to coin a phrase" and not "to qoin a phrase",
    as in "minting a new coin". Unless of course "qoined" was in fact the new word you were creating ; ).

    What's the difference between a cybernetic organism and a cybernetically augmented organism?
    Does not the one entail the other?

    The Long Walk, can you imagine, that would be one exhausting movie.
    I prefer the Bachman books to all his other work, and the Long Walk is one one my favourite stories ever. I had very much the same reaction to it you did.
    Maybe it's just me, but the whole series of Bachman-book stories have some of the harshest social/psychological observations i have read in fiction. Me like.
    And i would love a "real" Running man by say Ridley Scott or Paul Vehoeven, hold the Arnold.

    "Starship Troopers, which isn't exactly supposed to reflect modern society".

    I sincerely hope that is a joke. If not, I suggest you watch each and every Paul Verhoeven film (again).
    Star ship troopers is a commentary on fascist totalitarian militaristic regimes and societies, and the thin line between propaganda, advertising and lies. I bet you thought Showgirls was about Las Vegas?

    No, the legal theory of "innocent until proven guilty" stems from ancient (pre-Roman) times, and is in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 11).

    Ah yes, the old "Guilty until proven Innocent beyond any reasonable doubt" aka "Shut up, Peasant".
    You wouldn't happen to be in Law Enforcement?
    What part of "Provided by an anonymous source for scientific purposes" equates to "No officer, I didn't steal it, I was just holding it for a friend"?
    As an aside, governments don't own anything, they're just taking care of stuff for the real owners, their bosses. Which would be "We, The People" (hypothetically anyway ; ).

    The answer to your question lies on page two of your own link.

    Q: How did you get the EVM you studied?
    A: It was provided by a source who has asked to remain anonymous.

    My point was that he had been charged with theft for refusing to reveal a source.
    If you click the link I provided you'll hear an interview with the scientist in question, by telephone, after his arrest.
