„Seems to me that the cell phone's own evolution actually imitates or, better, recapitulates Ong's stages of Orality, Literacy, and Secondary Orality. Except now, wireless handheld technology is actually attempting to make the leap past mere Secondary Orality - orality based on text - and into a new category - a virtual primary orality, where we behave as if we are communicating physically, even though what actually passes between us takes the form of entirely abstracted and reconstituted digital code.“

„Instead of unlimited growth, membership, and freedom, many of the communities that have done well have bounded size or strong limits to growth, non-trivial barriers to joining or becoming a member in good standing, and enforceable community norms that constrain individual freedoms. Forums that lack any mechanism for ejecting or controlling hostile users, especially those convened around contentious topics, have often broken down under the weight of user hostile to the conversation (viz usenet groups like soc.culture.african.american.)“http://blogger.iftf.org/games/2003_05.html - Cached
„"There are 481 segments longer than 200 bp that are absolutely conserved (100% identity with no insertions or deletions) between orthologous regions of the human, rat and mouse genomes. Nearly all of these segments are also conserved in the chicken and dog genomes, with an average of 95% and 99% identity, respectively. Many are also significantly conserved in fish..."
