just the one thing ..the idea of the space elevator belongs to Arthur C Clarke ..I dont think Brin was even born when it was written ..Arthur thought to put the anchor point at Sri Lanka ...and started to work on the stress analysis etc for the idea ..
Oh yeah ..and apparently Brin had a conceptual problem with " this image is copyright " even then ..or maybe playboy didn't know about "robots.txt" ...( If you didnt tell "me specifically" not to "steal" it then it's not "doing evil" when I do )...?
Why does super geek = super arrogant have to be the inevitable formula ....
