Slashdot | Artificial Life Forms Evolve Basic Memory, Strategy:
Calopteryx notes a New Scientist piece on how digital organisms in a computer world called Avida replicate, mutate, and have evolved a rudimentary form of memory. Another example of evolution in a simulation lab is provided by reader Csiko:

Steve Chapman @ Reason on Jabbering Athletes, from 2006


Sports Could Use the Sound of Silence

Kids' soccer games have grown so raucous that some leagues enforce a "silent Saturday," when parents are banned from cheering, yelling, booing, or swearing. It's a great idea that ought to be extended to professional sports—not to shut up fans, but to shut up players.
