In Praise of Constant Connectivity
[snip]discussing the realities of living in constant contact with the world at large. The author argues that the ability to connect actually creates time for us that we wouldn't have otherwise had.[/snip]
Man Builds 60-foot Tower to Get Highspeed Access
[snip]"A church was blocking the only high speed signal in town, so he decided he needed to go higher. This is the story of one man's quest to build a 60-foot reception tower in his yard and retire his modem once and for all."[/snip] I've had the urge to do such things myself!
WHAT?!?!?! HOW CAN YOU BAN A PHILOSOPHY?????!?!?!?
Missouri to vote on constitutional ban on transhumanism (from Betterhumans)
[snip]Regulation of Human-Animal Crossbreeds, Cloning, Transhumansim, and Human Engineering Is Reserved to the People[/snip] this proposed proposterous monstrosity of legality brought to you by anti-abortion activist David Reardon, and the "Coalition to Regulate Human Engineering and Human-Animal Crossbreeding" (which is the Elliot Institute and the Life Issues Institute).
If they want to stay stuck in their little unevolved world with their human limitations than let them. But the second any one of them get's a pacemaker, cochlear implant, or anything else along those lines I'm calling their bluff. They should really have objections to Shoot-Em-in-The-Back-Cheney, since he's technically a cyborg. Who want's to see if they're members of the X-ian coalition? And if they don't want to have abortions than use condoms or don't have sex. They need a big cup of wake the fuck up.
been too busy lately with work to post much (6 days a week, 8-10 hour days and that's just at one job, starting another one on Monday it looks like). Hope some of these news articles are of interest, I know some of you will already have seen them but here's to hoping they help.
Also, anyone want to learn Old High German with me? or even Modern German?
