that the crap is this guy talking about? this guy obviously has no idea what the slug list is all aboot.

I managed to find my way onto your system by complete mistake. you might not want someone rambling on with sing along words got nothing to do with linux, or any other programming language. maybe I do ? my language is the language used to program superior computers the world over, and is the most basic mainframe in existence. the hardware, while it undergoes the constant updates of all good evolutionary systems, is and has been cutting edge technology for quite some time. some say that is has inherent weakness? built in (conspiracy theories abound, suggesting that the designer, in a move of original forethought, set flaws in place to ensure future employment and income. however, I completely dispute and disbelieve such claims, treating them as arrant nonsense). the computers I work with, though they may appear to display occasional inconsistencies, may be the occasional glip or glop ? such things seem inconsistent only from one perspective. I believe these computers to be perfect, as far as anything I have seen can hold such a large and well worn claim. They boast fibre optics (and did so before the term held any meaning of significance) and cable free communication ? blue tooth doesn?t hold a shard to them. completely mobile, they survive the knocks and bumps the world throws at them through a regenerative device programmed in the foundational infrastructure and running full time background in the superstructure. as I do not want to cause any sense of panic, I will refrain from detailing their manipulative skills, which are needless to say, magnificent. it is often said that the great test of AI will be seen with creativity. while a chess game may be memorised, a creative work requires independent thought. If these computers do not posses their own creative ability, they are creative enough to express the belief that they are creating. It may well be argued that they do not, strictly speaking, display artificial intelligence, as their actions are dictated by programming, and that they simply choose from a pool of options. however they create a sense, a belief of creation, and this must form the first level of AI. I digress ? it is easy when dealing with such language, with such completely masterful technology. before ? and even if I don?t go any further ? it is imperative that we all understand I am far from a master programmer myself. I merely work with these machines, paly with the language and boggle at the potential. I have not yet made a meeting with the designer, though I often send messages and get various replies. with such a big organisation (for these computers have made an extensive impact in their release so far) there are many means of communication, and many, if not all of these means are used before the personal meeting is undertaken. meanwhile I am awed, floored flawed in my understanding of all that is around me. still I struggle on ? who wouldn?t? you can believe me as you would believe your own hands, these creations are miraculous stupendous and in every way immaculate. for now enough ? slugs, does this sit easy with your chat environment? or do you like to talk only of your machine code dilemmas? I leave it to you peace will __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
