storytelling platforms

For now, perhaps the best approach for educators is simply to give Web 2.0 storytelling a try and see what happens.

The Unconventional Computer Architecture group focuses on architectures that do not follow the stored-program paradigm common in today’s computer systems. Our interests include physical implementations of computation such as reconfigurable logic, integration of unconventional computing devices with conventional processors, and computing using non-silicon devices.

Because reporting and editing are honest-to-God actual fucking jobs that don’t get taught at the Huffington Post and the Daily Beast, and because all those faceless blog-networks infesting the Bay Area like tongue herpes have no interest in their minimum-wage blogmonkeys thinking about anything bigger than their hitcount. These things are fun and great for finding out about paedo-paramedics and Ukrainian porn, but they shouldn’t be confused with informed reportage and actual thinking. My name’s Warren Ellis. I’m a writer of fiction struggling with a world that’s getting stranger faster than I can make strange shit up. I work for Wired UK. Nice to meet you.

A magazine from a meditator’s perspective; the essence of love, life, and laughter.

But what good is productivity if time saved ends up being squandered on pointless distractions?

An autonomous robot may also learn or gain new capabilities like adjusting strategies for accomplishing its task(s) or adapting to changing surroundings.

The embedded system uses nerve and muscle stimulators, a microbattery and a microcontroller with transceiver.

While there is still hope that the population of humans can be raised to a stable 100 billion with the government incentivies and strong advertising campaigns encouraging humans to have more children, there is still the concern that it might be necessary to enforce manditory breeding to ensure that targets are met.

Surgeon invents orgasm device for women

The women in the trial described it as “really excellent foreplay.”//soundingcircle

“Women who have used the device say they feel as if their clitoris and vagina are actually being stimulated, to quite realistic effect”//the frontal cortex

“The Orgasmatron, which is currently awaiting approval by the FDA for the treatment of “female orgasm dysfunction,” is a box about the size of an Altoids tin”//gizmodo

“A small box about the size of an Altoids tin is attached to two thin wires that snake under your skin and attach to the nerves in your spine responsible for sexual pleasure. Send electricity through the wires, stimulate the nerves, and watch the hot results.”//io9

“Stimulating those nerves shoots pleasure signals straight up to the part of the brain that processes information coming from the genitalia…Even with extra stimulation from the device,Dr Stuart Meloy says, nine days may not have been enough time to build pathways up to full orgasmic strength….Meloy hopes that longer access to the device would let women practice their newfound skills and fortify neural pathways — a sort of orgasmic neural rehabilitation.”//LAtimes.

“The “war on terror” will never end, because the moronic US government has defined everyone who resists US hegemony as a “terrorist.” The great danger to American civil liberty is that the US government regards as terrorists American citizens who realize that the neoconservative dream of American hegemony is a fantasy. As the Obama regime has not repealed the Bush regime rule– “you are with us or against us”–Americans who oppose hegemonic war are lumped into the “against us” category.”//Paul Craig Roberts//infowars

“Globalisation is not an option, it is a fact, so the question is whether we manage it well or badly. I believe there is no challenge so great or so difficult that it cannot be overcome by America, Britain and the world working together.”//GordonBrown//timesonline

“The fact is that the music industry’s revenues have been artificially inflated for decades because of limited consumer options. The last 15 years of innovation have lifted those limitations, effectively leaving the music industry with an obsolete, defective business model of monopolized production technology, forced album bundling, and almost nonexistent competition in the realm of home entertainment.”//Jens Roland.//torrentfreak

“Ein verhältnismäßiges Mittel, um die notwendige Reinigung ohne einen Zusammenbruch von Banken durchzuführen, wären die Ermittlung von Verstrickungen, Schuldigen, Ideologen und Uneinsichtigen. Sie könnte wie folgt aussehen: Alle Bankmitarbeiter kommen vor eine Wahrheitskommission, die den Grad der Belastung und mit ihm die Bereiche feststellt, in denen sie nachher noch arbeiten dürfen. Unterschieden werden könnte beispielsweise zwischen Hauptschuldigen, Aktivisten, Nutznießern, Minderbelasteten, Mitläufern und Entlasteten.”/Peter Mühlbauer///telepolis

“Millionen von Wirtschaftsmigranten erleiden derzeit ein ähnliches Schicksal. Nicht nur Lateinamerika droht wegen der Rezession in den Industrieländern und bei deren verlängerten Werkbänken eine Rückkehrerschwemme. In den arabischen Golfstaaten werden mit Ende des Booms ganze Flugzeuge für überflüssige Arbeiter gechartert. Millionen asiatischer Gastarbeiter flüchten in die Heimat, wo man nicht mehr mit ihnen rechnet und nun ihre Überweisungen fehlen, von denen viele Familien leben.”//Tobias Käufer, Willi Germund und Marina Zapf//FTD

“Wir beklagen uns an der falschen Stelle. Denn wir sind die verantwortlichen und souveränen Bürger und Konsumenten in einem demokratischen System. Nur wir nehmen unsere Rechte, Möglichkeiten und Verantwortungen halbherzig oder gar nicht wahr. Deshalb nutzen die Klagen und die Suche nach den Schuldigen größtenteils der Verdrängung der eigenen Verantwortungslosigkeit.”/Valentin Z. Markser///tp

“Jeder Roboter wird aufgrund von Erfahrungen lernen, sich wechselnden Umwelten anpassen und möglicherweise eine wirkliche Intelligenz erwerben, die derjenigen der Menschen nahekommt und sie dann übersteigt. Man erwartet, daß intelligente Maschinen die Menschen bei den meisten Arbeiten ersetzen werden, die jene bewältigen können. Das wird zu vielen Problemen führen, angefangen von menschlicher Arbeitslosigkeit bis hin zu einem moralischen Umgang mit Robotern und der Aufgabe, ihre sich aus der Kontrolle der Menschen lösende Intelligenz zu zähmen.”/Alexander Chislenko/ telepolis.1996

” Logic requires many types of knowledge, such as factual knowledge, memory of past experiences, and the ability to learn. Since these capabilities are very broad and complex, the best ways to program a logical computer are to give it a very simple environment, and to limit its skills to one domain.”//faculty
