  1. True Names on William Gibson's Latest Novel · · Score: 1
    And, of course, the influence of Vernor Vinge's classic (and excellent) story True Names (1981) cannot be overlooked.
    Too bad so many people do overlook it. It isn't just some of the earliest cyperpunk fiction, it's some of the best imho, despite it's shortness.
  2. Re:I have a better goal! on Skydriving · · Score: 1

    I bet Steve Jobs would do an apple comercial like that.

  3. Re:Homeland Security on A Look Into National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    To add to Joshki's reply to the comment on the immediate attacks:

    I think a relatively and crucial point that has been ignored is that while the 9-11 attacks WERE committed by the members of the minority that was blamed, the attack in Germany WAS NOT committed by those for whom it was blamed. Also, those blamed for the attacks on Germany's equivalent of a capitol building were the Communists (Actually, it was the Nazi's themselves attempting to gain total political control). Last I checked communism wasn't an ethnicity, have they started breeding them now?
