 /uhp'lohd/, v.

    1. [techspeak] To transfer programs or data over a digital communications
    link from a system near you (especially a smaller or peripheral client
    system) to one further away from you (especially a larger or central host
    system). A transfer in the other direction is, of course, called a 
    download

    2. [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.
