Swouncing

(Skipping so much so often may be considered as some form of sports, right? Especially from one end of the Jewish year to the beginning of another?)

Anyway.

I'm sorry about my absence, mostly because, well, I am sorry I'm being away and with spotty internet access for so long, but also because I've missed several Buffista Calendar birthdays: on the 9th it was Spidra's birthday, the 11th was Trudy's, and today is Polter-Cow's.

Lots of wishes for all of them, belated or on time!

Oh, and in case I don't have any access tomorrow or the following day, here's an update from the future: the 13th is billytea's birthday, and the 15th is Nora Deirdre's. I do hope I'll be online to post my congrats on time, but just in case I don't - lots of early wishes for them, as well!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Seriously, do robotics engineers not ever watch movies? How is this not obviously a bad idea???

Scientists create robots with the ability to lie to humans:

"We have developed algorithms that allow a robot to determine whether it should deceive a human or other intelligent machine and we have designed techniques that help the robot select the best deceptive strategy to reduce its chance of being discovered," said Ronald Arkin, a Regents professor in the Georgia Tech School of Interactive Computing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Thanks for the birthday wishes!

Scola, are you still online? What are you here for? Doing anything? I have no plans today. Possibly videogames tonight, but otherwise nothing. Do you have my cell?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Happy birthday, P-cow!

Scientists create robots with the ability to lie to humans:

I'm imagining all robots being like Jon Lovitz now. "Yeah, that's right. I calculated your flight path down to the nanonometer. You won't come anywhere near that tropical depression."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Come on, scientists, d'you think people wrote those cautionary scifi stories for fun!
