nice link, red cell.

if you go there, be sure to click through to the Java clock so you can watch the (estimated) population grow in real time. cool AND eerie.

I'd say the answer also depends on your definition of living. Piddling away in some soulmunching 9-6 job where your boss makes you carry his pee to the urinal, is that really living? I mean, Sinatra, Martin, Sammy, that was living.

Response by poster: Oh goody, now I have to throw one of my coworkers down the stairs. (I left myself logged in on an office computer so no, this isn't my question(not that there's anything wrong with it, except that Google would probably have provided the answer))
