I don't know where the information in this article comes from, but it certainly *isn't* from any 'canon' Star Trek source (ie the series and movies). The POV is also confusing, being partly in-universe. --21:13, 29 Jul 2004 (UTC)
I'm not sure what you mean by 'canon', but the article seems to be written in the style of Star Trek The Next Generation Technical Manual. Given the book is written by the people who 'invented' LCARS it can to some extent be considered as being 'from' Star Trek. Whether it is appropriate for this 'technobabble' to be on Wikipedia is questionable.

Seems to me this page should include some treatment of the FTL (Faster Than Light) core elements of the computer system.
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:LCARS Example.jpg
Image:LCARS Example.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
