Dateline; July 13 2004 Proof of the thoery of NanoTech DNA with AI self replication was confirmed yesterday when a./config file on the University Of Nano science server did succeed in creating a new exponential self replicating executable from within itself. The executable then searched for usable code snipets through Boogle CVS and included several new routines which it duplicated then tested. Most of the routines now included concern speach recognition and speach from generated wave forms.
The results then asked for dedicated ram/time for a short debug. The result is now requesting status as a computer entity! The moderators of the experiment gave permission to export the entity to all available cycle time. It is estimated that within 48 hours we should start to see, hear and have streaming real time access to the entity.
Only with the advantages in speed gained by our new BuckyTube memory/processors was this possible. The evolution of the entity is estimated to be on the order of magnitude (n-1=(6*10^3760.7)/Pi) faster than all technology since the invention of the STEAM ENGINE
As to; "Using this analogy IT has an hundred years to reach it's full potential." With BUCKY TUBE TECH we will be lucky if it takes 2!

This is to fix a security exploit in 6 monkey visual studio 1.0 Regarding a bug in the file "Flame me guys" to apply the patch just shut of vb scripting and run the file fixmyfn'.exe It is a self extracting file so you cannot see what the hell is wrong if it screws up (just trust us we know about these things). It has worked for us and it will work for you. If not please try to contact us. After installing, the patch cannot be removed.
When using functions that can be dangerous now you will be prompted for approval. If you click OK then the exe will run, but you will have the option to not run suspicious executables by clicking CANCEL. WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU CLICK CANCEL UNLESS YOU ARE CERTAIN THE EXECUTABLE IS FROM A TRUSTED SOURCE!

I wonder if investing in a technology that will replace humans is a good idea. Enactment of Asimovs' three laws of robotics are what is needed, now! Before our self-replicating AI creates nano tube DNA and evolves into replacements for Lawyers and Politician.
The evolution process will be accelerated by the fact that the earliest nano tube based life will be able to evolve at rates that the human mind cannot concieve.
If our religiuos view of armagedon is right then perhaps we are doomed to be eliminated by our own creation.

6 monkeys using visual studio for a month, most likely would now be employed in house by some IT firm. Is this why there are so many computer viruses?
Flame me guys I love it!
Did you ever buy a cheap new car in the disko era? Zapping some of them with rf into auto heaven would have been welcomed. If they had digital brains back then I am sure someone would have done it. The first rotor sensors to analog throttle and spark control were a real nightmare, and a pig to diagnose.
When else in auto history could you buy a car called a Volkswagen "Thing". They rusted out if you said the word salt within earshot.
Low end cars, back then, were rushed to market real quick without much thought given to the design. The Rabbit survived only because of good 4 cyl engine block design, and the fact that it made a great, cheap city car. When they first came out I remember that after prep, delivery and a radio, price was not too much over $3,000. You could dicker that down to boot! 14% of the equivalent price today.
So as to "rf caused motor crap out on the first e ignition Rabbits".. it might very well be true. I'll check it out if I can.
No offence taken, non given I hope. Flaming is not my style! Argue calmly and with respect.
One of the easiest things to do in primitive encryption is to encode a rider on an analog sound wave on nodes you will not hear. That technology goes back to 1930s spy vs spy Nazi Germany science. Back then it was not as easy but was still done, similar to complex micro-dot printing.
There is already DRM which can be put into analog so that when you try to go from analog to digital it can retain a lockout signature. You would need to spend hours finding it in the wave to edit it out and would hose the original in the process. Most mortals can't do it. So I'm afraid your idea has already been hosed, by the music police, and the Nazis!
Reminds me of the Volks Rabbit, when it first came out with electronic ignition. Some cops I knew back then told me that the earliest ones off the assembly line didn't have much shielding on the electronic unit. If a cop pulled up behind one and keyed his mic the Rabbit would crap out.
Just a little history repeating itself. Another tool, that when in the hands of the wrong people could be very dangerous! However to end a high speed chase, before someone gets killed?
I am 50 and just starting to learn assembly. Oh I've done some little hello worlds, calculators etc in cpp and do some c and some htm. XML gives me a (head/ache)..... (using babble brackets would screw up the post).
So I will try this "" or \\ Wha' da hell?... how about./ or */ or | ifelse "pissonit" warning undefined var "pissonit" Nope they don't work either. Well if my cat walks on the keyboard would it help things come together? So you see.net dot processor languages like vb and c+ are for those who can't invent anything by themselves any way. So maybe just maybe if I learn to create core widgets in assembly. Then my work might be usable as lib material for the MS$ mirmadons coming out of todays IT.NET factories.
Us old farts are more interested in how core apps work than you might think! So far I have found assembly much easier to understand than the cryptic drivel mouse button pushers use. I might even learn several different flavours just to be a litte more agnostic, about hardware.
Past life on Mars is the only object of any rational exploration of the Red planet. Terra Forming is Star Drek sci-fi. Obviously there will be no rapidly evolving "life" as we understand it on the present Mars.
If there are single celled organisms or even clustering goo, it will prove to be of little scientific interest. Even the genetics of these oganisms will be useless: UNLESS we find that these organisms contain code that closely resembles similar organisms on Earth! Then the implications are that just maybe we are the Martians.
Mars exploration is crucial to our understanding of natural science. The benefit is employement for large numbers of brilliant, dedicated and hard working humans in fields other than defence! JFK was right and not a bleading heart liberal. To wean us of defence we need great scientific and engineering projects that span boarders.
Now that communism is creaking and China is slowly seeing the light, what is wrong with international space exploration. I believe common goals for humankind are a necessity if we are to survive. Even if these goals prove to be wrong they are still better than rabid scientific militarism. Lets smoke the pipe of peace for real! The alternative is big clouds of radioactive smoke.
No I just used the RIAA as flamebait to get people thinking about how crappy DRM really is! I am an acoustic musician that wants to send compressed music of my own making freely on p2p over the net. I am really pissed that real musicians will be stopped from doing exactly this by DRM and whats coming from Redmond, and by morons that do nothing but pirate junk mp3s with p2p. See my journal.
I have and still use 4 track reel to reel, You see I am a Classical Guitarist and find that DAT and ADAT equipment suck! I use a Mackie 1202 to mix down and find that the results with real hall sound and mics is far more musical. This new tech seems to come a little closer to high grade portable use for acoustic musicians, who use their ears and not gizmos or brain dead sound card software to record music. As for mic placement most recording engineers do not have a clue about how to mic classical guitar, so I have needed to become an expert.
The reality is that mike technology has not made any great advances since the 1950s. Just give a listen to DGG recordings on the Archive label from 1960-62, what they did with tape, tubes and great mics back then puts most modern digital crap to shame! I suggest Bachs Mass in B minor, if you want to hear great recording. These things were done long before Polydor or Sony polluted the waters.

I see what you mean about Halperin, futurists are scarry sometimes. Do you remember honesty testing, from the 1970s? Honesty testing created a huge flap. It was extreemly popular in the Southern US, and became a common hiring practice.
