There is no seperation of one day to the next. Everything has melted into one long, painful, experience.
Like your face.
I'm back. I never really left but don't feel like sorting that out. I lose interest, and believe me I have felt guilty about sorta dropping off the face of the earth. I've also been up like 3 days and thought it would be a perfect time to post. Unfortunately you all fail, so much, at having any topics I can just slide into.
For topics: A (hopefully original) theory for the moderation of creative user generated content in (on?) computer-mediated communication:
So you script a moderation system that compares all submitted content to the database and looks for similarities to previously saved material. Matches weighted by word frequency, keywords, mind-numbingly complicated decision trees in LISP! Submitted material of a certain weight is not allowed to be posted.
Impractical? Yes
But consider Dunbar's number, in the context of say how many new people [M] used to get. We had a noob forum, to haze people at one time. If you implemented something like the above, in a forum like the one that used to be here, you could keep 99% of the people on the internets from even getting a post off, AUTOMATICALLY.
Edit: Oh and dharma stopped IMing me. I mean like wtf?

For topics: A (hopefully original) theory for the moderation of creative user generated content in (on?) computer-mediated communication:
- Creative (or original) content is novel.
- Any content this has been submitted before is not novel, e.g. a kruzen.
- Most forms of CMC operate some kind of database.
- You can has scripts.
