The Searchable Life

Posted by michael on from the select-first_dates-from-life-limit-10; dept.

oni writes "Here's a story on wired about a Pentagon project called LifeLog. It seeks to record every bit of information that can be had, index it by name, or SSN, or even location, and make the database searchable. Furthermore, '[LifeLog adds] physical information (like how we feel) and media data (like what we read) to this transactional data.'" If you think you can build such a system, apply for a grant. There's also a current AP story about Total Information Awareness.

  2. Rocketman, as interpreted by William Shatner by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Good afternoon. In 1972, when Elton John and I wrote Rocketman, it became very popular among the listeners. Due to the interest and the meaning of the song, now, in 2003, I am truly proud, once again, to present my Rocketman, as interpreted by William Shatner. Thank you.

    Truly an American icon

      I'm just not sure if I can be witty and funny with every post.

      I'll give it a philosophical try:

      If I take a crap in the middle of the forest, and nobody is around to smell it, does it still stink?

  7. But dont stop selling them assault rifles!! by JThaddeus · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    See today's Washington Post article: U.S. gun laws can easily be exploited by international terrorist operatives, who can obtain assault-style firearms or explosives by taking advantage of delays and loopholes in the federal gun control system, according to a Congressional Research Service report to be released today. And keep in mind that the CRS answers to a Republican Congress!

    Which requires more integrity as a troll. To acquire the infamous first post, or the lesser known third post? The first post requires a sharp eye kept on the main page and its happenings. One would also need an accurate count of twenty seconds and so forth. On the other hand, the third post, however un-first post like it may be in its initial declaration, seems to have the mark of true perspicacity in pressing that submit button. One must accurately make the judgement as to when make the third post to succinctly, and without error, obtain that third post primetime spot in the deluge of initial comments.
