 /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.
