I've been browsing the site of the Head of Research at British Telecom,
Peter Cochrane. Here's a typical URL, on uploading:

http://www.labs.bt.com/people/cochrap/papers/deathbyi.html

It's fascinating to see that Dr Cochrane has evidently recapitulated many
of the basic ideas discussed here all on his ownsome, with a little help
from Star Trek:NG, which means that their expression is a tad primitive.
But how cheering to see someone in such a salient position in the Real
World endorsing the wild Spikish ideas that most scientists still run away
from with their fists jammed in their mouths.
