Sorry for the troll, or whatever a simple question might be called. But I am curious and too lazy to go find out on the web. How is a barred spiral different from a 'normal' one?
What if life on earth began as bacterial "contamination" from an alien spacecraft. The thought just occured to me. Though I suppose it has been suggested many times life was created by aliens, it never occured it could have been an accident. Perhaps the first life in the universe we will find will be the evolution of contamination from one of our long range exploration probes.
Just to make sure such risky research is done with unparralleled safty constraints a law should be passed (and constitution ammended if necessary) such that any individual or group that creates a bioligical plague that is released upon society should have their entire familly killed in front of them and then locked away in the most inhuman way possible for the rest of their life.
I'd say the odds are pretty good that this is already being exploited in the wild.
Couldn't a webcrawler be taught to search for this exploit in the wild?
Even larger effect on society

article: A device that reduces the need for walking, one of the healthiest activities known to man, may strike many people as the last thing our culture needs. (Kamen scoffs, "Because I give kids calculators doesn't make them stupider.")
me: I don't know about you, but I can hardly do more than the simplest math in my head anymore. I blame it directly on my use of calculators. My handwriting is also terrible, since I barely ever write by hand.
To further clarify, search engines should search for patterns of words wich indicate it is being over-used. May be very difficult, but I think recognizing include files/libraries might be feasible.
"Technique to negate words in a document for increased searching. For instance, include files that cause a phrase like 'How we converted to XHTML 1.0' to show up on every page. Only the page with actual information, should show up in search, not every page with the include file."
Actually read this article?? Started out makeing some sense and ended stoned hippy ramblings.... not that that is a bad thing. I do think the drugs had started to kick in nicely by the end.
Door swings both ways. I look forward to the day when I can filter out all than non offensive material and surf an internet composed purely of lude degrading pr0n.
I thought your sig was directly related to the story. I was thinking a subversion of the system would be to alter your face with a disguise, and a cream pie would certainly alter your face!
But is all seriousness this topic is chilling. 1984 deeply affected my way of thinking. I can sort of tolerate it on private property, but the public sphere is way out of bounds in my oppinion. Like, I am WAY not liking this junk.
Wish I could find the link (without actually trying hard) but have seen a pictures of a computer built into a large portable box fan, with fan blades still attached. No mention if it fan actually worked.
One of the first programs I ever wrote when I was quite young on my Commodore 64 was a Basic program that randomly wrote "\" or "/" to the computer screen. I think I called it "maze". It was a wave of nastalgia when i saw the example gliff on the site:-) I even got tricky and allowed the user to input any characters to program for output. Because of the special graphic characters associated with each keyboard key, I made some somewhat nifty paterns... from a 10 year old's perspective.
From the OpenIL website:
"OpenIL utilizes the simple, yet powerful OpenGL syntax by SGI"
If that is not a valid domain for SGI to go after, don't know what is.
Pleople spent time to create these games. Others spent time playing them. Why should they dissappear, especially if people can enjoy them again for there nastalgia. I never owned an Atari. I bought one a few years ago just to own a piece of old tech. Some day in not too distant future I am going to buy a Commodore 64. NOT at 128, who would ever needs 128 bytes!

i'm not afraid to admin, i'm a little turned on.

Luckily, or unluckily I only have time to post frivilous postings to slashdot.
Does Slashdot should warn sites that they are about to be slashdotted? It seems like the polite netcitizen thing to do.

And its almost as annoying as the menu on the linked page.
Neet. Sure. Useful? I don't see how having more visual clutter helps me.

On my idea notepad I said this:

Truely geeky girls, gotta love em! So rare and special. Despite being kinda cute, she's got that slightly sarcastic sassiness one would hope for.
the ethics are debateable, but its incredible to think someone actually did take the time to make a 'good' virus.

I feel pity for anyone who has enough time on there hands to do something this stupid.
But maybe you meant Linux on the PS, a Beowulf cluster of them, no doubt.
