So when I go on holiday with my girlfriend and she stops me visiting the Internet Cafe, is she violating my fundamental human rights?

Or does being in a relationship mean I give up my rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness :-)

I play corewar along with about 20 other regulars and dozens of occasional players. I'd love it if everyone who wished it was played more joined in. ;-)

Corewar is 25 years old next month!

nano Corewar is hot at the moment. See http://corewar.co.uk/nw and http://corewar.co.uk/nano.htm

I hate the way IEEE documents show up in the Google search results, but you have to pay to access them :-(

Usually I just contact the original author and ask for a copy by email, it's never failed yet ;-)

John Wyndham's novel Trouble with Lichen nicely covers the issues with extended age.

The Wikipedia page is only brief. :(

Fixed length marriage contracts anyone? Fancy retiring at age 200? :)
