Your HAL-o-scope

If you believe in a synchronicity which allows us to look at the stars to learn about ourselves, then surely there is also a synchronicity at work in computer-generated poetry. Here is what MegaHAL has to say to you today.

Your daily dose of paranoia

For the three of you who haven't seen it already: Frienditto will steal your soul.

For those who have seen the above but not a rebuttal, here you go.

I do not use any service which wants me to give them the password I use on an unaffiliated site, but that's just me. Well, me and most internet users with sense, anyway.

[Edit: On Frienditto, someone justifying the site.]

[Another edit: More on why people do not trust Frienditto.] [Edit again: The previous post was a put-on. Cancel Red Alert. But Yellow Alert is still a pretty good idea.]

[This should be my last edit: This post seems to be pretty well updated with the latest in the ongoing saga.



In other news, the real reason certain hysterical types want to ban the Harry Potter books is not for religious reasons as so widely assumed. No, the real reason is that they are Bush supporters who do not want us all to realize that the administration is full of Death Eaters. Don't believe it? Just try to tell me that this isn't a refinement of the Cruciatus Curse.

In all seriousness, if they do get this weapon working, you can rest assured that rioters will not be the only ones to suffer. Being in the line of friendly fire doesn't sound like any kind of fun. Besides which, research into the long-term effects of pain is already showing that pain, regardless of the cause, can damage you by itself. As someone who has chronic pain already, I really do not like the way these things are going.
