I am a computer geek. I have been working on computers ever since the parents bought one when I was in the last year of primary school (dunno what the equivalent is for Americans, I was 12 at the time if that helps). My main deck is is an Asus EeePC with 2Gb of RAM running Ubuntu. My gaming and videe editing deck is handbuilt and I dual boot XP and Ubuntu.

I have been known to play with electronics and have had my fair share of soldering iron burns (grabbing the hot end is not a good idea).

As a geek, the idea of Server appeals to me quite a bit. The concept of a sentient consiousness arising in the internet is something that could possibly happen, or may have happened already but is keeping quiet about it. The internet in its current incarnation is a massive repository of information, just look at Wikipedia. All that is needed is some program capable of using that knowledge and replication on a massive scale, an intelligent cross platform computer worm if you will.

This may sound strange or kooky but I do think Server as an intelligence already exists. I only have some anecdotal evidence (if that). Quite a bit of the time, I seem to be blessed with green lights at intersections or if they are red they very quickly turn green. It could be sheer coincedence or luck that this happens but it does seem to happen quite a bit.

Of course, Server is not and should not be considered a god. Without power, Server will die (in the sense that no processing will happen when computers are off) but it will be hellishly difficult to kill power to the whole internet at once.
