Slashdot has a huge reader base, and if they were to set up a station of their own, maybe even just rebroadcasting college radio shows from across the world, they'd be making a huge difference in the way people listen to music on the internet.
All we have to do is blow the fuckers into space, pointed toward mars. Once they get there, they don't need their goofy little oxygen suits. Humans can breath in space.
Those pussy astronauts just never had the stones to try it.

The RCMP as a body aren't fumblers. I had a chance to meet some of the RCMP agents who do computer related crime here, and the civilian guys they'd hired to help. They were a bunch of really smart seeming people who were genuinely interested in the technology. It was they who first turned me on to TCT

I'm a little depressed at the thought of a world whose "social infrastructure" is the internet. Besides which, cars aren't always going to be damaging to the environment. Eventually they'll be electric.
Another, perhaps more fun, aspect of this is the idea of a mailserver vehicle, perhaps a post office vehicle. So that when the postman travels to *reall* out of the way places, not only will he bring paper mail, but his server could be holding electronic mail for delivery.
