A Borg-like Artificial Intelligence For Lionhead's New Game

My favourite quote: '[AI] Characters [in the game] even have the ability to dynamically create their own language, constructing simple sentences on a word by word basis.'"

  I just heard the news on fucked company.com -- OSDN site Freecode was found dead last week. It's a real shame. Unlike Slashdot or sourceforge, Freecode was useful. Did anyone have an archive of their code?

A Holland, MI man has been charged with two counts of animal cruelty among other charges after allegedly having sexual relations with the family's pet dog.

Holland Police Department Ptl. Tonya Scott was dispatched Thursday morning to 406 E. Mill St. regarding violation of an order of protection. According to the report, Robert Malda, 40, same address, also had been arrested Tuesday on the same charge.

According to the incident report, Malda's wife told the officer Thursday that her husband had entered the residence and demanded his clothing. When she asked him to leave, he refused, then began cursing and threatening her. A witness to the incident corroborated Mrs. Malda's account.

Malda was taken into custody and after reportedly making statements of wishing to harm himself, was transported by Ptl. Jack Ramsey to Sycamore Shoals Hospital Emergency Room for evaluation.

Mrs. Malda also advised the officer that Malda possibly had sexually assaulted their dog, stating that when she arrived home, she found a large amount of dog hair on the living room floor, a half-empty bottle of lotion covered in dog hair, a towel with unknown excrement and fecal matter, and a T- shirt covered with the same substances.

No one understands that anymore. I program in 6 languages, but I'm also a kickboxer and was state champ in wrestling in high school. Not to mention i still hold all of the lifting records (365 pound bench press junior year).

I grew up with a guy named Jerry Bohlander who was at one point UFC champion, as in Ultimate Fighting Championship. He got beat by Tito Ortiz tho. You wouldn't realize it looking at him, or talking to him, but he's a computer geek as well.

We're not all losers.
