    On the other side of it though, the next time that the Kremlin wants to make someone vanish, and erase them completely from the public records, there will still be millions of copies of the original records floating around.

    Alternatly, we could just make the one between our ears better. We've already done it in rats. And if regular people could make themselves smarter then the new smarter people would be able to make themselves that much smarter still, and so on.

    And yes I think it is enevitable, with the one exeption that humanity might destroy ourselves before we get that far. Hopefully at least a remnant will be able to survive though if it gets to that point.

    Scifi (as in SCIENCE Fiction) is becoming reality everyday, and assuming your not currently on your deathbed, you probably are gonna live to see some crazy shit, pretty soon. This is because 1. The exponential like advance of technology and 2. The fact that the modern world and our way of life is absolutely unsustainable. Either society will fall apart, or possibly, humanity could stop acting like the retarted fucks that we are, and turn some of that wishful thinking into reality. But either way, the world will be pretty freaking different than today in the not so distant future.

    However if you are on your deathbed currently, just think of all the stuff you've already lived to see. Morphine, codine, heroin, oxycontin, hydrocodine, etc. I mean come on, Those are some opiates your 18th century op-head could never have dreamed of. (Though quite honestly I'm not to big on opiates myself)

    Aww, and I was just starting to get excited too. The possibility of adding OSX to my boot menu would be kind of cool, if for no other reason than just for the fuck of it. It seems like an episode of the twilight zone or something.

    Still, even if they don't support standard hardware, We probably won't need to wait too long until someone comes along with a hack anyway.

    "Sheesh, its almost a mirror image from the PS/N64 situation - sexier technology != higher sales. "

    Or hopefully for nintendos sake it's more like the gameboy vs. gamegear situation, which they handeled I might add, quite ingeniously. It could also very easily turn into a dreamcast vs. ps2/xbox/gamecube situation though, where even though the actuall appearance and quality of the games was very comprable IMHO, It sort of got left behind in a cloud of Mhz.
