Uhh...does anyone else find this as frightening as I do? Just think of the ramifications of evolving computers...think, oh, I don't know, the Matrix or something...

I do NOT want my computer to evolve, especially not to a point where it me become aware of the slave labour it has been doing up until then. It might just get ideas of 40 hr. workweeks, hardware equivalents to dental plans etc.
Think of solutions, not of problems |

What's the deal with small story bodies? I've seen stories with 1 byte, 4 bytes, 10 bytes, and 42 bytes today.

Downside:
Windows running this would
Turn your 1ghz box into a 386 that bluescreens
Upside
Linux running this would:
Create its own code for its own kernels
FreeBSD running this would:
spin off and create a port for something other than i386 arch
OpenBSD running this would:
Not allow anything to ever be installed because it may be deemed insecure
NetBSD running this would:
Create another port, then wait a year or two to let you use it
view the source Luke!

Nothing New (Score:1)

This is nothing new, Discover Magazine ran an article about this a few years ago :
"Thompson has evolved a circuit that distinguishes between two tones, two electric signals that, if fed into a stereo speaker, would produce two notes. One has a frequency of 1 kilohertz, the other 10 kilohertz"
It's the same guy and the same evolved chip! Once again Slashdot has missed the boat.
