I was just reading an article on the BBC News website about a program that when it is fed information could potentially predict major world events.

Quote:
Feeding a supercomputer with news stories could help predict major world events, according to US research.


I found it fascinating and it must have been one hell of an algorithm to plot the graph and map the outcome across the globe as well. I thought it was quite interesting.

Oh, the artificial humanity!

That's computing in the way that synchronised swimming is a sport.

Sorry, I don't mean to hurt his computer's feelings.

They tried using computers to predict such things during Vietnam, it was an unmitigated disaster.
