Geeks throwing down on IRC
we ain't here to do e-c-e
we're here to do c-s-e on the w-e-b
listen to me spit these rhymes
while i program lines
and commit web accessibility crimes
word, son
You talk like your big on these I-Net kicks,
But your shit flows slower than a two-eighty-six.
I'm tracking down hosts and nmap scans,
While Code Igniter's got you wringing your hands.
Cut the crap rap,
Or I'll run ettercap,
Grab your AIM chat,
N' send a PC bitch-slap!
peace
you're talkin bout down hosts and nmap scans
while i got other plans
you're at your new job, but you can't even do it right
you just create a plight with your http rewrites
i've been on the web since the age of three
you just got on directly off the bus from mississippi
respect yo' elders, bitch
You've been webbin' since three, but still ain't grown up,
Gotta update your config and send the brain a SIGHUP.
You say you're that old? No wonder you're slow!
You're knocking at the door while I run this show!
Elders my ass, you're shit's still in school,
Hunt and pecking at the keyboard like a spaghetti-damned fool,
Rim-riffing your hard drive like a tool,
Face it. I rule.
i erase my harddrives with magnets (bitch)
all you can do is troll on the fagnets
and son, my brain's wrapped in a nohup
it wont be hurt by the words you throwup
dont mind me while i emerge my ownage
while you're still over there apt-getting your porridge
you say i'm still in school
but the fact is that i know the rule
cuz you need to go back to grade three
and you better plea, that they take sucky graduates from c-s-e
Time to bend over and apply a patch,
Your brain's throwing static like a CD with a scratch.
Your connection got nuked and you've met your match.
You run a single process like a VAX with a batch.
I'd pass the torch to a real winner
But it'd just scorch a while-loop spinner
Caught in a loop that you cant escape,
I run clock cycles around your words and flows,
Cuz your rhyme is like a PS fan: it' blows,
Your water-cooled lyrics leak and it shows,
Take your ass back to alt.paid.for.windows.
Good god, I can't even respond to that. :P
You win haha

how long before google is self aware?
achairlime: probably the tagline could be a little more specific
John Kernan: how so
achairlime: like
achairlime: A Monkey shirt for those who still want to look good.
achairlime: the tagline could be describing anything
John Kernan: k check it now
achairlime: yeah, right
achairlime: you would think that google can't figure out the text isn't relevant
achairlime: but it knows
achairlime: it has billions of other pages to interpolate relevance from
John Kernan: how long before Google is self-aware
John Kernan: honestly.
achairlime: you know
achairlime: i read an article about this a little while ago
John Kernan: oh?
achairlime: and the guy was claiming in a lot of ways, it already is
achairlime: one of the main points he was touching on is it already has a system of self preservation
John Kernan: ok that's, how you say, retarded
achairlime: although umans are required to fix it
John Kernan: bacteria have systems of self-preservation
John Kernan: i'm talking consciousness
achairlime: yeah, well what i was going to say
achairlime: is that what i drew away from that article, after thinking on it for a while: probably never
John Kernan: oh?
achairlime: either that or hundreds of years
John Kernan: humans would have to bestow that faculty upon it
John Kernan: really. hundreds of year before true ai?
achairlime: google isn't where it's going to come from
John Kernan: no
John Kernan: but don't you think they would buy it up right away
John Kernan: and then you would have a search engine you could ask a question
John Kernan: and it would prepare an answer for you
John Kernan: from the entire internet
John Kernan: in a few sentences
achairlime: there is a really high degree of sophistication there, but when you dig down deep enough the logic is still based on simple conditionals
John Kernan: well of course
John Kernan: or neurons are just on/off switches
John Kernan: our*
achairlime: that's not entirely true
John Kernan: i know how a neuron works
John Kernan: and it is a tad more complicated than 0/1
achairlime: right but the way they influence each other
John Kernan: but in the end
achairlime: is what is really important
John Kernan: a given neuron can either give a pulse, or not
John Kernan: there's no degree of pulse
John Kernan: the tricky part is getting one to fire
achairlime: from the way they grow in the first place, despite all of the hubaloo about it, i think it's really apparent that there are just a few patterns which allow an emergent system to come around
John Kernan: hullabaloo?
John Kernan: yes.
achairlime: yeah, there is a pretty huge debate about how your brain actually manages to develop
achairlime: but i've read a lot about it
John Kernan: i can't say i have
John Kernan: on a neurological level anyway
achairlime: and i think the people who are voting for "there are a few hundred or so genetically encoded rules which allow an emergent system to develop"
achairlime: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergence
achairlime: i think those people generally have it right
achairlime: computers are fundamentally different from this, they are based on millions of conditional logic sequences that are hand crafted by people
John Kernan: i was going to bring up ants but i didnt know if that was dumb
John Kernan: we were talking once about a group of robots
John Kernan: that were programmed with something really simple
John Kernan: to sort a room full of colored balls or something
achairlime: emergent behavior
achairlime: i did an independent study on this in high school
achairlime: it's one of my favorite subjects
John Kernan: i'll have to read up on it sometime

Bank robber uses craigslist to hire decoys →
Apparently a man used decoys which he hired on craigslist, and an inner tube, in order to conduct a successful armored car heist. So for anyone interested in how you would accomplish this feat:
Post ad on craigslist promising $30/hr for construction work if you show up at a certain place and time dressed in a specific manner: respirator, blue shirt and construction overall.
Wear clothing...

Tumblr tags as meta keywords
I figured out how to get your tumblr tags to display as meta keywords on the permalink pages:
<meta name="keywords" content="{block:Permalink}{block:Posts}{block:Tags}{Tag},{/block:Tags}{/block:Posts}Permanent Tag{/block:Permalink}" />
Where it says “permanent tag” in there, you can replace that with a tag that you want to show up on every single entry, or you can erase it. ...

Her fun decades
Wittily, mom found, she lies at whores and graves. Way, at a fresh teen pig, put right to trot. Lie up boy. Lust, sleep, death; rot. Sometimes you will find that words have a strange way of putting their parts together Usually, people do this better.

holograms and drinking mix well →
CNN takes the prize for the first major news network to broadcast a live hologram. They used it to communicate with a news anchor in Chicago during the election last night.
The Digg comments on this story are priceless.
