future process of copying one's mind from the natural substrate of the brain into an artificial one, manufactured by humans.
This technology will radically alter society in many ways, as science fiction authors have begun to illustrate. Through this
server, explore the science behind the science fiction!

Rec.Gardens.Ecosystems
When the laboring masses here at ibiblio need to get away from the stresses of managing the public's library and digital
archive, we often head to our little garden out back for some quality time in the dirt. So soothing.
Rec.gardens.ecosystems is
a Usenet newsgroup intended for the discussion of gardening topics from an ecological perspective. In "down to earth"
language, this means trying to work in concert with nature, rather than trying to force it into a rigid
format.

Shree Ram Sharnam
"Here is then a godsend opportunity for those hapless souls who have all this while yearned for a few drops of the nectar of
pure spirituality. The hallmark of the Satsangs initiated and blessed by the venerable Swami Satyanandji Maharaj is the
complete absence of ostentation's and pretensions. Not expected to make any offerings, the 'Sadhak' comes to the Satsang with
the sole objective of seeking inner peace and higher spiritual attainments. And, surely, endowed and blessed thus with
everlasting ecstasy does he return to the world again!"

Life Patterns
"The Game of Life (or simply Life) is not a game in the conventional sense. There are no players, and no winning or losing.
Once the "pieces" are placed in the starting position, the rules determine everything that happens later. Nevertheless, Life
is full of surprises! In most cases, it is impossible to look at a starting position (or pattern) and see what will happen in
the future. The only way to find out is to follow the rules of the game."-Math.com
