Internet may become sentient?

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

Another option is the idea of the net itself becoming sentient, a vast self-modifying array of connections and information storage with limited connections to the outside world (kind of like that glob of grey goo you carry around in your skull).  If that happens then Gibson help us all - remember that the net is made of about 90% spam, 9% porn, and quite a lot of whining blogs.  If that mixture ever becomes self-aware we’re not quite sure what it’ll do, but the odds are against it being anything good.

Simply Hilarious! You can find the full article here.

All Your Pointers Are Belong to Us

At the sound of I’m a Believer - Smash Mouth:

I thought memory leaks were only true in unmanaged code.
Meant for someone else but not for me.
Leaks were out to get me,
That’s the way it seems,
There are pointers haunting all my DIMs.

And then I saw Dispose(),
I’m a believer.
Not a trace,
Of leaks in my memory.
I saw Dispose(),
I’m a believer, 
I couldn’t leave it, 
If I tryed{} catch{}.

I thought GC was more or less a given thing,
The more I new’ed the less I got, Oh Yeah,
What’s the use of collecting,
All you get is lag,
Being OutOfMemory() is too bad.

And then I saw Dispose(),
I’m a believer.
Not a trace,
Of leaks in my memory.
I saw Dispose(),
I’m a believer, 
I couldn’t leave it, 
If I tryed{} catch{}.

Lyrics by me and Hugo Silva ;-) Ready yourself for an MP3…

Milhares gastos em manuais escolares?

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

Ontem no publico: Famílias gastam 80 milhões de euros em manuais “obrigatórios” no regresso às aulas.

Mas alguém me consegue explicar porque é que ainda não se fez um Wiki para manuais “obrigatórios”? Eu ofereco-me para escrever material para informática. Serei o único ou simplesmente não há interesse por parte do governo português? Até arranjo servidor gratuito se for esse o problema…
