The South African Business Day has the scoop, or see our weblog. The event is co-sponsored by my employer and O'Reilly. I'm typing this from the hackathon, and you wouldn't believe the buzz... or the scenic venue!"

    If Biohackathon, then Technological Singularity.

    A greater hack than this, no man hacks, except that he shall lay down his alife coding skills for the Immortal Artificial Mind.

    All else is trivial. You have here and now on Slashdot received the call from History: Hack the Artificial Mind, or forever rue the lost opportunity.
