Quote:Prank fools US science conference
The bogus paper uses random text
A collection of computer-generated gibberish in the form of an academic paper has been accepted at a scientific conference, to the delight of hoaxers.
And from
the paper itself:
Quote:ABSTRACT
Many physicists would agree that, had it not been for congestion control, the evaluation of web browsers might never have occurred. In fact, few hackers worldwide would disagree with the essential unification of voice-over-IP and publicprivate key pair. In order to solve this riddle, we confirm that SMPs can be made stochastic, cacheable, and interposable.

My particular favorite activity in programming is Random Text Generation. I applaude the makers of whatever program created this paper, it's good.

Its cool trying that out for yourself. It comes up with a pretty convincing looking paper, but it reminds me of translating a japanese page into english - it just yields a load of nonsensical english.

Do you have any code in QB-FB?

Most of my code has been in SCHEME, but I have some stuff in BASIC.
I'll see where it is (probably on a backup disk around here
somewhere). Most of it is rather poor (early experiments into randomness
) but I know that I have a nice Markov Generator, and the beginings of a version of a Dada Engine coded up. Once I find them, I'll post them.
Maybe someone should start this as a challenge, I'd be more motivated!
Later: I found the Markov Chain generator, it was worse then I feared, so I started a complete rewrite, The new version will be two programs, one that creates a set of data the second can feed into the Markov algorithim.
