I inadvertently re-invented Robotech. I can't decide if I should be excited or depressed. I’ve just been informed that my idea for Independence Day 2 is basically the plot of Robotech.

Check out Ken MacLeod's Fall Revolution series if you haven't before. Also, I think you mean 'as' not 'ass' in "ass it tends to do" above. Funny.
