A new program called Eureka has been developed, its main purpose is it discovers algorithms. Most noticeably it discovered Einsteins theory of relativity completely on it's own by observing pendulum movement in about three weeks.

And now apparently it has discovered the code behind a human cell. The cells software as it where. The only problem is, while scientists have determined that the program output is correct and performs like a living cell, the code is so complex that scientists don't know how or why it functions correctly, scientists say the computer code is so complex that humans are unable to grasp the logic behind it.

It's like getting the keys to the castle only to find that someone has removed the door.

I think it's really scary how fast computers are becoming better problem solvers than humans.

Just think.. One day, it might be computers that unlock the mysteries of the universe not humans.

Obama's Immigration Plan

Discuss.

He seems to be trying to go the middle of the road... albeit probably more on the left side of said road...

Obama said those who entered the country illegally must admit they broke the law, register with the appropriate authorities, pay taxes, pay a fine and learn English. They must "get right with the law before they can get in line and earn their citizenship."

Big talk... I wonder how much he really plans to do... especially "learn English."

Does free will exist? If so, how can you define it? If not, back up with evidence.

If one defines free will as the ability to do as one pleases entirely independent of outside influence, and based upon one's own desires:

I say it does not exist, because all decisions and thought processes undertaken by all living entities are arrived at by a long and tedious series of previous experiences. No fallible animal based possessing an imperfect biochemical brain is capable of independent, spontaneous thought. Indeed, the very idea may be altogether impossible. No matter what we say or do, we do so as the result of a long and ongoing thought process that builds upon experiences.

From: The TovenNet Empire Affairs Security

His high magistracy emperor Erich Toven, ruler of TC and all things Nintendo including the mighty Goron and Goron Empire is not pleased with Darunia's constant attack on Nintendo citizens.

There for in accordance with TovenNet law all Goron citizens are ordered to scrub all TovenNet server rooms indefinitely.

All Goron's failing to show up for work detail Wednesday Morning are subject to dismissal from the Nintendo empire.

Signed..

Pig Slime Face

Sr. TovenNet Affairs Security and second anus to Emperor Erich Toven high ruller of TC and all things Nintendo.

On the bases that Washington needs better business people.

This is fumy as shit, considering its fairly common knowledge that this particular HP CEO almost ran the company into the ground.

They where talking about it all day today on NPR.

Illegal Wins Settlement

This is ridiculous.

Why doesn't NY state sue the state of Barbados for having a trespassing illegal commit crimes on their soil? He's an illegal--this is going to set a bad precedent.

The Future of NASA

I have said it many times... that NASA went from virtually NOTHING to LANDING A MAN ON THE MOON, with their very limited technology in the 1960s. Just think about it... in one decade, WE LANDED MEN ON THE MOON. Chances are, none of us were alive while there have been men on the moon.

Now WHY--SOMEONE TELL ME WHY--does it take SO LONG FOR THEM TO PLAN ANYTHING TODAY? With the quantum leaps made in recent decades in all manners and fields of science, shouldn't these space voyages be getting quicker, cheaper and easier?

FIRST SATELLITE: 1957.
FIRST MAN ON THE MOON: 1969.
FIRST MAN ON MANS: (Tentatively) (Maybe) 2030's.

WTF

I DON'T WANT TO BE 900 years old when this happens!

Fuck, I'll be 45 years old in 2030! And you know damn well that if the federal government of today plans to do something in 2030, it MIGHT actually get done in 2045...


Fuck it all.
