I liked that article, legion. Did you check out the cat brain one? I gave up after I read this one: Fruit Fly Guy Joins Pentagon Fake Cat Brain Project
etson, the original news story did (and still does) say it was Steele. The RNC denies it, and subsequent stories attribute it to a staffer, not Steele. However, Steele’s expensive life style is well documented.
benson: how predictable (again) to bring up Clinton. Why do conservatives always bring him up…his faults are hardly in the same league as all these Bible-thumping, family-values rightwingers who fall from grace like cherry blossoms in May.
there’s a cool movie that you might like which has a different take on the conscious supercomputer;
Demon Seed
the plot goes like this;
A “Cray” like computer genius turns his house into a super computer.
The super computer attains consciousness.
The computer takes a liking to the scientist’s wife and decides to produce it’s own progeny.
The ending is very interesting.
He has run his economy into the ground and destroyed PDVSA
and now nationalizing electricity companys — they are having blackouts now and rationing power. Middle class engineers have headed for the border. He is a complete disaster; when I see Joe Kennedy promoting PDVSA and Chavez with his heating oil program and Sean Penn kissing his ass, it makes me ill.
Oooooooohhhhh- tech talk……so sexy! So who is buying me a supercomputer? I want an active optical cable. I want a Cray! I want…I want… oh yeah- I’ll need a new manse to house the whole thing. Cgar? I’m serious.

Fruit Fly Guy Joins Pentagon Fake Cat Brain Project.
I couldn’t tell if I was reading a serious blog or the Onion 🙂

Legion,
Re Chavez, I agree with King Juan Carlos,
Por que te no callas?
He has run his economy into the ground and destroyed PDVSA
and now nationalizing electricity companys — they are having blackouts now and rationing power. Middle class engineers have headed for the border.

“A petaflop means that it runs 10^16 calculations PER SECOND.
At the conference I attended last week I heard a statement that the human brain performs this many calculations too.”
That’s all hunky dory benson – until the machines become self aware and go all “terminator 2 – judgement day” on our asses
And if I hear ‘Hotel Room’ one more time on the radio, I’m going to cancel my frequent user cards to every Motel.
Can they PLEASE stop playing the same songs over and over! I’m so sick of them.

benson,
try this article for starters;
mouse vs. computer, carbon based vs. silicon based intelligence.
