Wolfram classified cellular automata rules - some of which are interesting and support universality.

And if so, will it make us even stupider? Only one more week until we find out! This could be the datahead's ideal engine:
function temp(form)
{
var m = parseFloat(form.mass.value, 10);
var v = parseFloat(form.volume.value, 1);
var d = 0;
d=m/v;
form.density.value=d;
}
Nice post by Stephen Wolfram on the Wolfram|Alpha blog, Happy Birthday, Alan Turing:
This was released to public today:
I suppose there isn't much intersection between those who are internet-savvy enough to have heard of Rule 34 and those who've read ANKS.
However. I imagine that of any webcomic to make this joke, XKCD will have the highest percentage of people who get it, if only for the fact it's mentioned the former rule 34 before (#305).
Okay, I give up. How does that fit into Rule 34?
Duh, Tyler. Everyone knows the Japanese are all getting into vast-universe-time-space-dilations pornography. It's the new hotness.
Get a slow internet connection.
Roll the cursor over the xkcd blank while you wait for the page to load
Or just check buzzfeed on googletrends...
I've no idea about rule 34, but the little guy in the comic seems to be the starmaker.
I just wanted to know what kind of rocks...
