Strapping Young Lad - Zen
Okay that "Shoot 'Em Up" cameo has to be explained, it appears in the dumbest plot line progression, the 'Shooter' played by Clive Owen somehow deduces that the baby he has in his possession was born near a heavy metal club because it doesn't cry when it hears heavy metal (SYL) play on TV over some Senator giving a speech.
Stupidest movie ever. I can't believe Clive Owen (Shooter and killer by way of carrots), Monica Belluci (playing a lactating prostitute) and the dude from Sideways (necrophiliac and savant to finding the shooter) even signed on... they must have been doing some crack.
Freestyle - The Bluegrass Way!

How many does it take to make a tag cloud tag? (Sift Talk Post)
Damn twiddles, you're some kind of a savant. That's exactly what was happening. I had a regular expression replacement with a hyphen in the middle which of course was interpretted as "through" for the chars on either side of it and the range happened to include numbers, so the digits were being blanked out.
For the layman: It's fixed!

Incredible savant sculptor
It turns out there is in fact a new scientific theory for savantism. One factor is the ability for "normal" people to filter what they see. We look at a building and see a building and its shape... and maybe a couple for features that stand out. A savant will see everything from how many windows to how many bricks to the shape of the bricks to the colors and textures... and their brain tries to store ALL of it. That might be one reason why they have trouble with what we call routine functions. They're just chugging too much input all the time.
Back to the study... In it, savants had their brain patterns measured while drawing images they were first presented to remember, then ordinary people were submitted to the same test. When a difference was noticed, those normal people were subjected to a technique that briefly silences regions of the brain (this is by the way harmless in this case) that were less active in the savants (putative "filter" regions). After the brief silencing, the ordinary people were able to draw significantly better representations of the objects they were viewing. The level of detail was increased. Just like in a savant.
Neato.
8-year-old rocks the f*** out on Guitar Hero II, "Dead!"
I don't mind Guitar Hero, but unless this kid spends more time reading or outdoor activities than he does on this game than I'm inclined to agree with Choggie. Oh, help us if this is the future of our savants.
