MIT has a long and distinguished history…of pulling pranks. And the latest one is a real doozy.
Jeremy Stribling, Max Krohn and Dan Aguayo wrote a computer program to generate random text to create research papers, complete with “context-free grammar,” as well as charts and diagrams. They then submitted two of the papers to the World Multi-Conference on Systemics, Cybernetics and Informatics (WMSCI), and one, “Rooter: A Methodology for the Typical Unification of Access Points and Redundancy“, was accepted for presentation, according to Reuters.
Stribling said that a “useful purpose for such a program is to auto-generate submissions to ‘fake’ conferences; that is, conferences with no quality standards, which exist only to make money. A prime example, which you may recognize from spam in your inbox, is SCI/IIIS and its dozens of co-located conferences.”

Karl Marx would love the popular moves among politicians in various state governments and the federal government to ban so-called "junk" food in schools, and to "put healthy food in" convenience stores and on the tables of those they define as poor. It's a very elitist and arrogant mindset that promotes this ideology, and it needs to be addressed.
Ultimately, the war supporters in Congress prevailed in the vote on the resolution. Still, the vote was significant because it places every member of Congress on the record as supporting or not supporting the unconstitutional, costly, violent occupation of a country that never attacked us. This vote should serve as an important reminder to the American people of where their representatives really stand when it comes to policing the world, empire building, and war.
