More on that Matrix game:
The brilliant folks at UNForum deduced the existence of an incident logs directory for Aquapolis. There you can find a text file logging the recent flooding and response, which suggests that MetaCortech's software didn't solve the problem, despite what their news site claims (click the News tab there). Instead, the old human friend did the work: "07:29:49-rec/manualoverride/beta/delos/7". Delos' Beta module seems to have been the target.
Check the whole sequence of schematics. Well-done stuff.
Steve Kaye notes that Katherine Cunningham's bio now has a second quote, besides the Bierce, also on photography:
"You don't take a photograph. You ask, quietly, to borrow it."
-Unknown
EDITED TO ADD: Unforum strikes again, pointing out new paranormal files at Little-boxes.
I am not sure if this is of interest, but when I read this update it sprang to my mind that Delos was the name of the company which ran the futuristic amusement park in the 1973 movie Westworld, written and directed by Michael Crichton, and starring the unsurpassed Yul Brynner as the killer-robot Gunslinger. IMHO the movie definitely is an early piece of cyberpunk and of course runs on a similar topic as the Matrix: A world simulated by hi-tech.
