The Information Processing Technology Office (IPTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is soliciting proposals to develop an ontology-based (sub)system that captures, stores, and makes accessible the flow of one person’s experience in and interactions with the world in order to support a broad spectrum of associates/assistants and other system capabilities. The objective of this "LifeLog" concept is to be able to trace the "threads" of an individual's life in terms of events, states, and relationships. http://www.darpa.mil/ipto/Solicitations/PIP_03-30.html • IPTO Home • Search IPTO • DARPA Home • • Personnel • Research Areas • Solicitations • Conferences • Briefings...

With all the questions about Sadaam, and his appearances, and his many doubles, think - Is Sadaam really Sadaam? I think back to an experience I had with an old boss, years ago, who, once, when we went out, and even went to the bank, couldn't get a check cashed. He had been having his secretary sign his checks for so long, and so often that he could prove he was himself, and they wouldn't cash a check, even at his own bank. We finally had to go to one of his regular resturants where they knew he was him,...

Did I hear her right? Did she really say that the US gave the UN and countries of the security council veto power over the US national security policy? That's what I thought I heard.

All: Need some help, please. Would Freepers Please contribute to a list the topics and opinions which are banned from discussion on the Free Republic. I am at a loss, as I was of the opinion that the FR was dedicated to what is posted on it's home page: "Welcome! Free Republic is an online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah! "

Rush Limbaugh calls for action and Republicans to 'proceed with vigor'. However, there is no way we can be vigorous with Jellyfish T. Lott as Senate Majority leader. He wants no part in the responsibility of governing. We must get a new Senate Majority Leader, instead of the weak, lilly livered, lazy, stupid, Trent Lott, who won't do anything positive, and who will just attempt to bring back the demonRATS to rule the senate, and screw up our country.

Sep. 23, 2002 What's sauce for the goose...By GABRIEL DANZIG US President George W. Bush's recent speech to the UN on the danger that Iraq poses to the people of the world, and the necessity of taking strong preemptive measures to forestall that danger, is a model of courageous and rational thinking. It is so much easier to wait until after the disaster before reacting. It requires so little courage, so little effort, so little risk of being wrong, or being portrayed as wrong. Only deeply responsible leaders know that all of that does not matter when set in the...

I keep hearing in our liberal media about condemnation of the murders on 911 by muslims, and yet I have not found a single muslim source where they were condemned.

I have a preventative for West Nile Virus, but repeated calls to the Center for Disease Control, the National Istitute of Health and the HHs are all in vain. I can find no one interested in the vast government burro-ocracies who is interested. Anyone got any ideas on how to get our stoooooooooooopid government to listen?

Why do I listen to Rush Limbaugh, rather than the GARBAGE SPIN of AABC News (anti-American Broadcasting Company) news? Because, this giant news organization won't even identify to murder in LAX airport by his proper name - Mohammed, or his religion. LIES, LIES AND MORE LIES BY THE AABC NEWS NETWORK

ABC news, in interview with lady from Agriculture department, who interviewed mohammed atta for $650,000 loan has purposely garbled the tape, at least in my opinion. She says, "He spoke of Bin Laden, who will be recognized as the world's greatest !@#@$@ (garbled) (*^(&*er)- ending in er". Did anyone else catch this? Or figure out what she said?

Radio Islam - No hate. No violence See For Yourself Men to Gaza. Women to Jerico.

American Moslems, where are you? Members of your religion have started a concerted effort to destroy our country, and murder millions of people. What are you going to do about it? So far, all I have heard is bitching about being 'profiled', and yet it seems that only Muslims are forcing millions of non-Muslim Americans to spend TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS and effort to prevent this. Get off your lazy butts and do something !!!

All the Arab countries, seem to support the Palestinians blowing up people. So, let them be exiled to one of the arab countries. Any would do, but perhaps Saudi Arabia would be best. Any Saudi's online? - how about youall taking the exiled terrorists?

Well, another dumb idea from the state department and Collin Powell - a peace conference, for the war by the arabs/muslims against the rest of the world, and not a single representative from an arab/muslim country.

Think about this - Israel has the only Muslims who can vote in free elections in the mid-east. There they are represented in the Israeli parliment. Therefore, arafat, in wishing to destroy Israel, is wishing to destroy the freedom of the hundreds of thousands of palestinians lvingin comfortably in Israel.
