   Nothing will ever change with idiots who believe that the
   universe runs on clocks and rods, knowledge runs on
   momentum, and energy comes from wires.
   So the people with actual post mecurian obessions
   work on self-replicating machines. the people with
   post 1880 educations work on self-assembling robots.
   And the people with actual non DOA energy trends
   work on GPS, Optical Computers, and On-Line Publishing.
