    Is the world going to end soon?

    Before i go to bed, I was just reading on the BBC web site that IBM's prototype Blue Gene/L machine has managed speeds of 70.72 teraflops. Now, on Terminator 3, the US general who was in charge of Skynet said it was running at 60 teraflops when it became self-aware. Does this mean we are all going to die in a hideous battle of man vs. machine soon? Just a thought. Night night.

    I wonder sometimes. I get the feeling inteligent machines would realise 'pwnd' has no vowels in it and is therefore not a work.

    According to a 3 part documentary i watched the war is over and mankind has lost, they now fuel the machines like duracell batteries but dont worry there is a human known as "the one" who likes pills and rabbit holes, he will bring balance according to the documentary if he falls over backwards things go very slowly and check this out he can stop bullets simply by the wave of his hand.

    i know this documentary to be fact based as its also available as a DVD.

    Presumably work = word?

    If that is that case, I would like to hear how you would explain away the word 'sky'
    To err is human. To really foul things up ... you need a computer.
