Remote control rifle range debuts
A Texas company is considering letting web users use a remote-controlled rifle to shoot down deer, antelope and wild pigs.
For a small fee users will take control of a camera and rifle that they can use to spot and shoot the game animals as they roam around a 133-hectare Texas ranch.

SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator

SCIgen - An Automatic CS Paper Generator
SCIgen is a program that generates random Computer Science research papers, including graphs, figures, and citations. It uses a hand-written context-free grammar to form all elements of the papers. Our aim here is to maximize amusement, rather than coherence.

Example of a SCIgen paper:
“Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy” by Jeremy Stribling, Daniel Aguayo and Maxwell Krohn. This paper was recently accepted as a “non-reviewed” paper! Read the acceptance e-mail.
