upload: /uhp'lohd/ v. 1. [techspeak] To transfer programs or
data over a digital communications link from a smaller or peripheral
`client' system to a larger or central `host' one. A transfer in
the other direction is, of course, called a download (but see the
note about ground-to-space comm under that entry). 2. [jargon] To
send data (especially large relatively standalone pieces of data
like files and images) over the wire to a remote location. 3.
[speculatively] To move the essential patterns and algorithms that
make up one's mind from one's brain into a computer. Those who are
convinced that such patterns and algorithms capture the complete
essence of the self view this prospect with pleasant anticipation.
