Sorry, I'm not as into this as you are. Let it go. There is no fight here.

You're the one who KEEPS BRINGING IT UP, you stupid child.

Even that pales in comparison to the awesome weirdness of the Fugazi/Wu Tang Clan collab. Wugazi ain't nuthin' to fuck wit.

>>4841
I don't think that was a collaboration between the groups themselves though, I believe a producer made that from existing tracks. It's pretty interesting anyway.

Machines Of Loving Grace, Chemlab, Pigface - Nutopia, Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, Funker Vogt.

Front 242 - head hunter
Chemlab - Burnout at the hydrogen bar/Vera Blue/Pyromance
Machines of loving grace - Limiter/Serpico
Pigface - Nutopia

Nihei's art can be a little too dark and confusing but the plot's worth it, it's the ultimate cyberpunk. And yeah, Battle Angel Alita (and BAA: Last Order too) totally deserves to be in the list. Also Transmetropolitan (it's not specifically cyberpunk but mentions a lot of the same issues) and Electric Ant, written by Phillip K. Dick.

There was a recent comic adaptation of Blade Runner, too. Again, didn't read it, but I heard good things.

>>5052
idk if I'd call it the ultimate cyberpunk, but it is very good. Has a lot of DNA from the likes of Alien mixed in there, very concentrated on body horror. Although I'm usually against it, I wonder how good a film adaptation would be... (it's not as if the plot is really that complex.)

Assume it was a hoax.

This is terribly fascinating. This is insane. People should really educate themselves, or unplug their goddamn web cams. This reminds me of some website I found awhile ago were it was basically the radio spectrum (I don't really know what i'm talking about, go figure.) and you could tune in all over it and find people on HAM radios just having conversations about what they were having for dinner. Does anyone know what i'm talking about?

>>5053
Yea, there's a huge HAM radio enthusiast following even nowadays. You actually need a lisence to transmit, though. I don't think it's really comparable, though, because they know that it's not secure line (they're not as slow as Marconi!) Kevin Mitnick started off as a HAM radio guy, and was constantly in trouble due to the flamewars he'd have with other operators.

>>5043
I wouldn't call that sad unless you're a weightlifter looking to get more training while on the go...

I own one of those Logitech Scanman grayscale scanners, and... it didn't exactly work as well as advertised. I chalked it down to a flawed concept for a scanner at the time, but in retrospect it may have been my Mac SE that was to blame, though.

>>5043
Lets see. Real money, nope. Laser pointer, nope. HUD, nope. Briefcase full of tools, nope. Monocular, nope. Stungun, nope. voltmeter, nope. seven on the list that couldn't be replicated with a smartphone. That's not "most".

Slightly over half, yes, and that's only if you count the briefcase full of tools as one item.. :p Smartphones are handy, but they still don't do EVERYTHING.

Sorry, no. They've got a lot of gall to take credit for this idea actually because they are sure as hell not the first people to do it, and if they were they can prove it first. Regardless, its a useful strategy for illegal raves and street protests and so on. Generally, among the first people the cops are going to arrest are the people running the sound system (and the street medics, the fuckers) but if there is no visible sound system, that makes it a lot harder to stop the sounds. Hell, the DJ could be off site entirely, a couple of blocks away maybe.

Me and my friends were thinking of using this idea a couple of years ago for a sort of guerrilla drive-in movie. Well, bike/walk-in is more likely, but everyone would have headphones or a boombox and the movie would be projected on a big wall. We had a few locations picked out but it never quite came together for some reason.

> It raminds me of the critical mass concept, only with partying.
The Reclaim the Streets movement has been doing just that for 20 years, roughly as long as Critical Mass if not longer. They started with centralized sound systems though. Look it up.

>>5039
This, pretty much. I don't mind people picking up the idea and running with it, but when you start throwing words like 'invented' around, that's a bit iffy. Especially since it's basically the same as a headphone disco w/ the listening devices less private...

There is something rather like this in Snow Crash though, IIRC, where all the hackers team up to support the band playing nuclear fuzz grunge or whatever it's called.

We had this thread last week:

...A array of trays for holding Pizza.

>>5007
yeah i don't ever worry about it being stolen, so i don't really give a shit about that

>>5008
That's because he was a delivery boy for a Mafia-run high-tech pizza company. That was such an amusing book :)

On the subject of "functional" a wide variety of things act to improve your ability to some extent. Alcohol, for example. A drink or so makes a lot of thinking tasks easier. Makes your brain function and flow from idea to idea better. Concentration becomes harder, but problem solving skills improve.

Speaking of drugs, LSD is the ultimate cy drug. Have you guys read Cyberia by Douglas Rushkoff?

Just try one blotter and go browse the internets or just fuck around the computer, it is mindbogglingly awesome and you really feel wired to the internet and part of a larger, ultra-complex, system.

Weed is nice and all but the real cy feeling comes from tripping your brain out and transcend yourself.

>>4997
I've babysat people through their acid trips many MANY times but never taken it myself. I've had mushrooms though and I must say the last thing I want to do when tripping is be at the computer, or be around artificial lights of any kind. Or be indoors at all. I want to run around and climb trees and look at the stars and shit. As for being part of a "larger, ultra-complex, system," the complexities and intricacies of organic life on this rock are far vaster than the internet and that's what I see when I take mushrooms.

That's just me though. Maybe I'm more cyberhippie than cyberpunk anyway.
