I mean, with all due respect to Hawking ~ I’m sure he means well ~ but I have to wonder how many Hitlers in the world have used such an otherwise noble-sounding phrase to commit unspeakable acts of atrocity, all in the name of a newly-improved race?

And if I were to have a computer directly linked to my brain, I sure hope it isn’t Windows 98! It’d be one freeze-up after another! ~8?P
