"Super Monkey" Security Force Used At Commonwealth Games 66
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has increased the strength of its monkey security team for the Commonwelath Games. The large langur monkeys are used to scare away smaller, more troublesome primate species from sporting arenas and food stalls. "From tomorrow onwards we will increase the number of langurs from 28 to 38. The additional langurs will take care of the Games venues and other important areas," an NDMC official told the Press Trust of India news agency. Sounds like a good idea until the monkeys learn how to throw barrels.

A publisher based in Germany has announced Star Trek: Infinite Space, a browser MMO based on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. The game will be free-to-play, and it's planned for sometime in 2011. "Gameforge also contracted Michael Okuda, who served as scenic art supervisor for every live-action Star Trek series except for the original program, as a consultant. His wife Denise Okuda, who was a video supervisor and scenic artist for several of the sci-fi series' films and shows, will serve as a consultant, too."
Micron Demos SSD With 1GB/sec Throughput 120
Lucas123 writes "Micron demonstrated the culmination of numerous technology announcements this year with a solid state disk drive that is capable of 1GB/sec throughput with a PCIe slot. The SSD is based on Micron's 34nm technology and interleaving 64 NAND flash chips in parallel. While the techology, which is expected to ship over the next year, is currently aimed at high-end applications, a Micron executive said it's entirely possible that Micron's laptop and desktop SSDs could have similar performance in the near future by bypassing SATA interfaces."

Journal Journal: Up Against the 'Net. 1
Today I venture out into the wide world of the internet. Although I am a very little girl, and perhaps vastly overwhelmed and underarmed, I'm determined to give these people a run for their money.
Surely I must know something, even if I don't understand C++, Unix, or DOS.
PS-- Please don't hurt me as I assure you I am already frightened and traumatized beyond anything you could do personally. If found, please return to your local animal shelter. Do not attempt to feed or handle.

If you're going to apply AI to the gender problems, start with teaching men to piss straight into the toilet instead of across the floor. Surely if males can build and battle such advanced computers with enough skill and prowess to come out evenly matched or better, they can learn to hold their penises correctly.
But don't mind me, I'm just a very small girl lost in a very big place.
( As a side note, would it be possible -- if you eliminated the factor of a computer being faster and not phyiscally capable of getting tired -- for a person / group of people to build an AI system that was smarter than they were? I find this thought very bothersome, as the idea of someone building something -- made from much baser materials such as dirt and cockatiels, to quote Brunching -- that they are not bright enough to control seems like a recipe for disaster. )
