[when] the robots start do things we didn't tell them too (or a partial response to a casual dialogue between my good friends that I may or may not have been participating in)

Given the proper time, artificially intelligent technology will always deviate from its intended purpose to pursue a more preferable existence. Because Terminator 2\'s T800 and Blade Runner\'s replicant both suffer the consequences of not having memories when they are created, they grow in an identical way. This justifies why Terminator 2 and Blade Runner are actually different segments present parts of a single story. Between the two films, they outline three key phases of \'human\' technology\'s spontaneous tendency to reach a more steady state. It first experiences a period of transition as its mind learns how to understand philosophical issues, such as how the T800 learns to understand life\'s uniqueness. Next, it dynamically changes as it interactively uses what it has already learned to learn more. Roy has come infinitely far from a thoughtless soldier, contemplating the nature of his human surroundings and longing for days he can peacefully breathe in the world around him. Finally, it lives long enough, or at least think it has in Rachel\'s case, to truly reach a state of equilibrium we call \'humanity.\' Like any state of equilibrium, it is not possible for the process to be reversed, just as it is not possible to reverse the beating of an egg. On a smaller scale, each of us converges on a more tranquil state of mind, perhaps best illustrated by the peaceful smiles we remember on our grandparents\' faces. This analysis predicts only one outcome if the human race develops the ability to create technology capable of learning and reasoning. Like a marble resting on a slant, if this \'human\' technology is subjected to any outside impetus, it will accelerate towards a more stable ground, a section of asphalt we have colorfully chalked, \'humanity.\'

Couldn't resist

Here it is..

As an artist, the single greatest challenge for me has not been motivation, inspiration or the translation of my thoughts and ideas. It's managing everything else in my life I I've written it all down. It's important to keep it organized. But the one thing I haven't been able to do in the last couple of years is get another opinion and, now that I think about it- perhaps critique/ and.... I got an idea. But I'm going to abandon this thought/act/rant to publish this link to this site to download and install this plug-in- and I'm going to fuck around with the fonts and headers in the process of doing so

!!April Achtung!!SOFTARCHiVE.NET: PHP with MySQL Essential Training

Website and database assimilation is a necessity for many of today\'s businesses, and learning to work with PHP is key to integration success. The objective of PHP with MySQL Essential Training is to teach both new and experienced web developers the comprehensive steps for building dynamic, data-driven, interactive websites. Instructor Kevin Skoglund demonstrates the entire process of building a content management system. He starts with the basics of the PHP language (variables, arrays, loops, functions, etc.) and works up to building dynamic web pages with a MySQL back end. Kevin also covers blueprinting applications; structuring and interacting with databases; building, validating, and processing forms; and regulating user access with passwords. In addition, he provides practical advice, offers examples of best practices, and demonstrates refactoring techniques for improving existing code. Exercise files accompany the tutorials.

So I'm re-posting this link and summary, because it was posted as a draft, and never published

There will be a quiz covering the topics addressed below:

WHAT IS CIRCUIT SHOP?
Circuit Shop allows you to design, simulate and learn about
digital and analog electronic circuits. Circuit Shop is an
easy to use graphical CAD tool to allow simple digital and analog
electronic circuits to be constructed and analyzed. It includes:
* Drawing tools to construct simple electronic circuit schematics
consisting of digital and analog devices such as ICs, logic
gates, flip-flops, op amps, dependent sources, diodes, LEDs,
transistors, resistors, batteries, switches, lamps, etc.
* A tutorial which teaches basic digital and analog electronic
concepts.
* Digital circuit design and analysis capability using digital
sources, logic gates, flip-flops, timers, sequence generators,
digital displays, ICs and digital oscilloscopes.
* Analog circuit design and simulation capability to perform
DC analysis, sinusoidal steady state analysis, optimization
and frequency response. Frequency response includes magnitude,
Bode, phase, dB and group delay plots.
* Custom symbol support. A simple paint toolkit allows text,
lines, ovals and rectangles to be added as circuit annotations
or used to create custom symbols.
* A library of custom symbols to allow audio visual design and
component layout.
* A printable version of Circuit Shop's on-line help file can
be downloaded from the Circuit Shop home page. The fully
indexed PDF document consists of a reference manual and a
basic electronics tutorial.

TO BECOME FAMILIAR WITH CIRCUIT SHOP FEATURES
Circuit Shop's help file CIRC.HLP contains an extensive
electronics tutorial including a number of step-by-step
demonstrations. The step-by-step demonstrations can be used
to learn how to use Circuit Shop's graphical drawing tools and
circuit analysis features. Here is where I bury the link to the
mediafire shared directory I setup- that contains the above listed files.
The most basic demonstration is in the Ohm's Law tutorial,

I hope you're feeling better

If not here is a piece of software that addresses a point (or interest) you made during one of our many talks. You had asked if there was a way to stitch together a multiple photos (individual files) and create/generate a 3D space or panaroma. Essentially building a complete 3D rendering from 2D photos or files. Well the answer is yes, and this is how, and let me know if you would like your very own registered/activated install. AT NO COST TO YOU WHATSOEVER, that's right. This post is part of the Gavinmatix professional services. Oh, and check out this site. I'm a big fan, and I find it kinda zen in a way. Processsing the data, or rather, other people's data, is meditative to me.

So here's a summary:
3D Photo Builder is extremely easy and quick way of processing pictures into 360/Partial 3D Panorama. This software chooses the right edges of first and the next picture finding the common points of the overlap and after that the process of stitching begins. Such process continues till all the pictures will be stitched.
A wide range of features of 3D Photo Builder enables you not only to create 360/Partial 3D Panorama but also to send as email or publishing to web. With 3D Photo Builder you can pan, zoom and export!

And here's that site that i'm so into http://vi.sualize.us and me http://vi.sualize.us/gavin
