Listened to a series of reruns on a recent trip across the U.S. Still funny. The familiar banjo intro, some carefully crafted fan mail, and the first call. They were in the process of doing battle with Melissa Peterson. That little twerp.

Early in my career I worked with a bunch of old school phone guys who told me they used to put a harness on a ferret, attached a fish tape, and sent the animal through a fairly long section of pipe in order to pull a 25-pair phone cable the

Imo, the most interesting aspect of this story and its subsequent thread of comments is the absolute torrent of information to come from sources all over the internet, international media, and so-called experts, and the sheer impossible tas

Lest we forget, the internet grew out of the arpanet. I would proffer no single human, or group of humans, fully understands the whole thing. The current state of AI development seems to be on the same trajectory as the arpanet in 1975 with

Disappointed that this article didn't at least give a "tip of the hat" to the dogged research done by Dr. Marie Jackson, et.al., over her career at multiple universities. Here is an excellent read on this subject from 2013:
