I had never heard of dermal drug delivery before neuromancer. Now people use patches for nicotine or birth-control (but nothing like the 'cocktails' of patches in the book's bar scenes).
FTA:
"Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts...A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding."
Maybe a board or committee should be formed to establish a standardized interface for 'jacking-in'. IEEE? AMA? LSD?
Absolutely!. We need to double our odds as fast as possible as a species.
My concern is that there is a preoccupation with sinking us into another gravity well simply for a nice photo-op.
We need to work on self-sustaining habitats that are space borne.
The next logical step after creating a low Earth orbit platform (ISS) would be an assembly platform in either a higher Earth orbit or at one of the Lagrangian points this side of the Moon.
space should actually be the destination.
The earth goes around the sun at about 18,000kph and the sun has a relative velocity of 70,000kph with both a linear and sidereal trajectory that has us heading in the apparent direction of the constellation Hercules. Is anyone, at least, looking in THAT direction?
The article's page didn't seem to support Opera...at least my regular old v.6 that identifies itself as Opera (non-java). Didn't have a single image load (unlike the cache-brimming pics from/. )
I gotta say, I LOVE Opera.
Only recently, did IE stop that annoying habit of expiring pages so easily--something Opera was always good about avoiding.
In fact, after an OS got totally fubared, I was able to slave the drive and correct the.ini/.cfg files and save EVERYTHING no sweat.
(Now my forlorn MCSE-innerchild kinda sees this as a security loophole but it sure saved me a headache)
I LOVE IT---I lOVE it--I loVe IT!!!

from BSG: "Any return to COBOL will exact a price paid in blood."
...it will be like the scramble suit from Philip K. Dick's "A Scanner Darkly", but for computer monitors.
(ie. no one will know exactly what kind of porn your looking at)

... Salvage 1 ? That stuff's gotta be worth something. What's a few years of R&D, a few tons of fuel and some venture capital by comparison?
...there was a P2P network that hashed the files for what they are---OH WAIT!--There IS! . . (love the donkey, love it long-time)

As long as a self sustaining, off-world colony can double humanity's chances, it doesn't matter what their politics are.
