If memory serves, the "Resistance is futile; you will be assimilated" threat was first uttered by one of the Borg, those galaxy hopping cyber-locusts introduced in one of the Star Trek TV series. It became poignant and memorable when Captain Picard (I can't remember the actor's name but I think it might have been Patrick something) himself was assimilated into the collective.
George Rogato is, of course, correct concerning Patrick Henry's famous challenge.

Being from Massachusetts and studying the American Revolution through out my youth, which is one exciting piece of history, Patrick Henry and "Give me Liberty or give me Death" has to be one of the cornerstone of my beliefs.

The quote in my email was also by Patrick Henry. Steve attributed "Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated." to Mr. Henry but I do not remember him ever saying it (course I was a bit young back in the 1700's and my memory is not what it once was.). -- WISPA Wireless List: [email protected] Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/
