By 2011, the program will be able to rebuild itself with the latest .net libraries. All he needs to start is to teach the program the .Net framework *in it's entirety*, and give it the ability to observe human/computer interaction. After a month or so, the program should be able to take control of at least the computer it's on and the local network, and should be able to google for code snippets to find out how to do stuff in code.

I believe he'll run into a bit of a problem here to be able to deliver by 2011, a catch-22 if you will. To meet such an aggressive deadline he'll have to troll CP forums and will be using the classic URGENT - PLZ HELP or some such plea and when he does he will get chastised and he won't be able to make his deadline! So how will he adapt to this situation....we'll see? Mike :)

that's nothing... at least push the 8 mark... you have to get ever so close to that 1gram per hour "danger mark..." it's called Xtreme Coffee Drinking. ;P Actually, 1 gram per hour is really considered the danger mark, the danger of a heart attack goes up significantly, although it does all the way up to the gram mark, above the gram mark is the medical line someone drew in the sand. The avid coffee drinker might be able to handle it... or the non-coffee drinker may have problems before then. Most non-caffeine drinkers start seeing a yellow tint to the world at around .5gram -- I have never experienced it, but have had it described to me by many people who tried to compete against me drinking espresso. :-D

True story: My sophomore year of college I stayed up all night cramming for a physics test. Before this I didn't hardly ever drink coffee. I drank a whole 10 cups in about 6 hours. Two hours after that I began to have side-effects. I began shaking pretty badly, then passed out while walking down the stairs from my dorm room. Luckily my test wasn't until that afternoon so I didn't miss it. I haven't touched coffee since.

This could be the stirrings of Vishnu as he/she/it begins to become swollen with the next avatar, Kalki, to manifest on Earth during these last days of the Dark Ages of the Yuga (aeon) of Mother Goddess Kali just prior to the reverse of the "big bang," the "big snuff." Or it could be April 1 come early. Or it could be hyper-caffeination combined with reading "Galatea 2.0" by Richard Powers. best, Bill

I always thought Skynet was written in JAVA. I think it's the "it runs on all machines" thing.

...probably not. And we also know that as soon as it tries to take over other machines it'll be nothing but driver headaches and incompatible hardware.

Smart man. I just read a book called "Caffeine Blues". Went through Caffeine withdrawal after reading it. Not pleasant - but after learning how bad that stuff is I wanted it out of my system. No kidding man ... "profound fatigue", muscle cramps - the works. (During the withdrawal). -CB :omg:

Yeah, it's pretty bad stuff. It dehydrates the hell out of me and gives me serious headaches. I can only drink coffee now if I also drink large amounts of water along with it, and then as u can imagine I'm running to the bathroom pretty frequently that any advantage gained in "awareness" is quickly diminished. Just bought a tin of "half-caff" and am trying it out. It's pretty tasteless, but doesn't give me a headache. Why don't I just stick to tea? ;P

It's already doing better than that. Have a look around the C++ forum here. You'll quickly see the signs of a tireless machine, methodically learning C++* by asking questions, collecting responses, asking follow-up questions, etc. etc. It is a horrifyingly beautiful sight. *yes, of course it's learning C++.

Wrap up April 19 2011 and only using .NET 3.5. How lame is that? I expect it to be in .NET 8 CTP by that stage, running on Windows 12. Sheesh - if you're going to jump onto a bandwagon, at least ensure that it's actually going somewhere and that somebody hasn't stolen the wheels.
Deja View - the feeling that you've seen this post before.
We--elllll. . . I thought that Windows 7 is due in 2010, which is to say a probably sliced-down but overloaded version closer to early 2012. . . Although by then, who knows, we might finally have some great MacWindows machines. :-D Weren't we supposed to be travelling to Jupiter by then . . . ?(A.C. Clarke) Toodles! :cool:
