"It also asks the National Telecommunications and Information Administration to prepare a map for the web that will show all this data in a searchable, consumer-friendly format."

The previously presented executive summary of this paper is a bounds shattering look at how disruptive technologies (i.e. the computer keyboard vis-a-vis using too much verbage) enable shifts in paradigms to maximizing reader confusion while simultaneously minimzing audience understanding.
You're right
Civilization / X-Com are two of my all time favorites. After that it would be
Fallout / Tie Fighter / Mechwarrior 2.
Man I miss playing games. I tried to install the latest incarnation of Civilization on my PC but it was just way too intense for my poor little graphics card. And this was on ultra-low graphics settings!
... in a William Gibson novel?
I just can't wait 'till I can head over to Chiba city for some new internal organs to replace those that have been destroyed by years of abuse.
Also, as one who has lived in, and has friends who still live in "Gamer Households" I know only one place where this can lead. Paying more for your various forms of connectivity than you do for food, and that wonderful smell of Eau du Unix.
They (and really everyone who slashdots)should check out Coral, I think it is just too cool for words. It would really beat the low bandwidth blues. Either that or turn those poor NYU servers into Egg Fryers.

I like this from the FAQ (on the website, not TFA)
"If the unbalance in blade lift moments is too high, then the flapping becomes greater than the flapping travel and bad things will happen."
