Helping Computers Help Themselves

Jim Posner writes "The IT world's heavy hitters--IBM, Sun, Microsoft, and HP--want computers to solve their own problems.....If you're being chased by a big snarling dog, you don't have to worry about adjusting your heart rate or releasing a precise amount of adrenaline. Your body automatically does it all, thanks to the autonomic nervous system, the master-control for involuntary functions from breathing and blood flow to salivation and digestion." I'd just be happy with a few intelligent daemons to watch my back, like when a program runs amuck and fills up the process list.

Hi sugarbitches. I noticed that my heatsink gets really hot when my 2GHz Pentium 4 has been running for a while. And I noticed that the fins on the heatsink made a nice waffle pattern. That's when I decided to brand my nutsack with the pattern from my heatsink. All I had to do was freshly depilate my scrote, remove the fan from the heatsink, and lay my ballbag on top. The pain went away after a short while, and I was left with a pleasing waffle pattern of brand marks on my nutsack. All the guys down at Sutro Baths love my new look! When are *we* going to get together so I can show you my "enhancement"?
