in the shell

I don't think they had their brains removed - I think they had their brains installed in those metal skulls to make them "portable". I recall one conversation the Major has on the way to get a new body (where the Laughing Man saved her from the assassin) in an elevator with her friend. Sh...

goodbye college in that case...not that I studied too much during that time anyway :o I can't say I learned much in college either. However, I did learn how to learn, which is many ways is much more valuable. That being said, I'm very skeptical about the hard drive scenario. Lets assume that a hard...

cong, I believe this is the 2nd incarnation of the forum...

Some less quality ones havent taken that aspect into consideration. For instance, I have a Porsche one up now (sadly, GiTS one came down for a bit) an...

I forgot about this thread.. need to pick this search back up (er, well, start the search )

the thing that made me wonder about the chat chat chat episode was how she stayed so involved to the forum discussion while driving?

I believe that in season one of SAC, when Aramaki is telling the Prime Minister he could never rebuild his unit if he throws them to the wolves, and that his people are what make Section 9, he is almost 100% referring to the Major. And in SSS, you can tell from the beginning of the movie that the Ch...
