indeed, sponsored by the Admissions dept, unsensored MIT student BLOGS.
Speaking of other SCI-FI oriented things, the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies seems... kinda great, actually. Too bad a subscription is €250 for six issues.
and to just point something out, a sentance I found in an article from the UK today:
"But despite all the hype (and obvious enthusiasm) for the project, some observers wonder just how far it will get on a niggardly budget of €7.5m - barely sufficient to pay for the participants' working-lunches over the three year period."
Have you ever seen anyone use the word niggardly? Me neither. 'K, glad we're on the same page.

The "Queen's English" is full of such non-PC terms and they're frequently used in conversation in the UK without a second thought to their actual meaning. It's not unusual for someone to utter the expression "Well, bugger me!" when in fact the utterer would most likely not like the consequences if someone took that request literally. Not that there's anything wrong with that ;)
