Chambers likes to talk in terms of dog years. One human year is equal to seven Internet years. Even the folks at Cisco admit that in this technological revolution they will have to maintain a state of perfect paranoia to stay ahead. Cisco is facing tough competition in the telecom-equipment business, where longtime powerhouses Lucent and Nortel enjoy established expertise and relationships with key customers. "It's one thing to build a network the size of a corporation," says a skeptic, Nortel ceo John Roth, "but it's another to build one the scale of a whole nation...

That's a whole lot more interesting than accounts payable...
Instead, the perpetuals have become more sophisticated. Most (though not all) now admit their machines are using outside energy--usually via new theories of physics that physicists don't grasp yet. Joseph Newman, for example, a Mississippi inventor, promoted an "Energy Machine" in the 1980s that operated via "gyroscopic particles." More recently, New Jersey inventor Randell Mills has been pushing power from "hydrinos." Still others claim they're tapping the "zero-point energy" that fills all space. The first two are considered nonsensical, and while zero-point energy has a basis in science, using it to run a machine does...

Of course they would want to fill as many spots as possible with students who they were fairly sure would enroll in the college...
...From the inside of the stacks, the perspective is indeed dizzying--perhaps even claustrophobic, for the aisles are only just large enough to admit the motorized lifts that function like mobile, stand-alone elevators...
