3/22    I'm writing a word association program that parses motd text and
        links to other words. For example, if enough people write the
        following on motd:
        Bush
        \_ crook
           \_ Nixon
                \_ Bush
        \_ katrina
           \_ disaster
                \_ incompetence
        then the program will "learn" and associate Bush with the words
        crook and katrina. It'll also loosely associate Bush with disaster.
        The more it learns, the more it'll understand how people on motd
        think. So go ahead and play the word association game. Only simple
        words (with nouns) are parsed. Anything more complex will be ignored.
        Results will be shown this summer.
        \_ This needs to be smart enough to draw these relationships from
           the regular motd posts, not these artificial one-word things.
           Nobody is really gonna be posting those except maybe yourself.
           \_ I beg to differ. Look at the responses we got from "Republican"
              \_ But that's an artificial troll for responses to a chosen
                 word. Real posts would illustrate more meaningful
                 relationships as well as offer much more data points.
        \_ look into Shannon's Information Theory
        \_ kchang
           \_ twink
              \_ points
           \_ excuse me I have nothing to do with this troll, why is my
              name here?

11/8    Have you read how Bush says his pro-life stance was influenced

11/2    California Uber Alles is such a great song
        \_ Yes, and it was written about Jerry Brown. I was thinking this
           as I cast my vote for Meg Whitman. I am independent, but I
           typically vote Democrat (e.g., I voted for Boxer). However, I
           can't believe we elected this retread.
           \_ You voted for the billionaire that ran HP into the ground

        How did Hillary manage to do that when we're also asking China to
        concede on the economic front at the same time?
         \_ China doesn't want NK to implode. NK is a buffer between SK and
            China, or in other words a large buffer between a strong US ally and

2/18    If not 0 then 1 - wasn't that the basis of the logic of the bush
        administration on torture?  If we do it, it's legal, and since
        torture is illegal, therefore we don't torture?
        \_ Bush is a great computer scientist.
           \_ He must be, given that he defeated the inventor of the Internet
              and AlGorithm.
