I usually think of that as "technobabble".
Used in nearly every Science Fiction story. The best ones are those that sound
really reasonable, plus an extension.
Of course, I'm a fan of Asimov - who always had it best.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Quantum litigation is a good strategy tragedy.
All BSF
has to do is show that something was copied, no matter how trivial, and
Boom! You're entitled to Billions of Dollars please!
This is where we
get to arguing that indexes are symbollic. Or arguing that the numbers assigned
in Errno.h are creative rather than functional. It's as logical as accusing IBM
of "hacking" into SCO's anonymous public FTP server to retrieve source code that
is available to the public -- from SCO.--- The price of freedom is eternal
litigation. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
