Something that I need to develop better skills at since it comes in very handy during some tight situations. Shame not all unix variants use the same shell so that it could be universal, even though I guess Bash might be considered as universal as one could get. Read more »

I am not going to pretend I understand this stuff because I just do not do Perl. But I figured it could come in handy for a lot of people who actually mess with that cruddy language (hey, hey, just joking). Read more »

I can’t tell if this is a hoax like the L computer appears to be, or if these people are really developing this “lady.” Valerie is the most advanced android in the world having more degrees of freedom than any android shown up to now. She uses the AT&T speech synthesizer giving the most human-sounding voice available today.  She is also easily the most anthropomorphic android available.  She will have a high degree of artificial intelligence due to our proprietary AI software – and a generalized interface to the internet (the only existing super-intelligence). The pictures are no doubt of a mannequin, so I don’t know if they are just Read more »
