When I want to start a really (2.00 / 3)

contenscious conversation I'll start it with:

"the Internet solves all of the world's problems"

I believe that, too.  It has already saved my best friend's life (Internet technologies=Human Genome Project finished 25 years early=Novartis invents Gleevec=Bill doesn't die of luekemia).

The greatest wonder of the world in the new millennia and a friend of free-thinkers everywhere.  God bless DARPA and all it's minions.

When that was penned the scariest thing on earth was a guy covered in sheetmetal sitting on top of a large grsss-eating mammal.
