And it mixes popular sheep via genetic algorithms with fitness based on the voting.

right, so it learns to please its human audience. and distributed computing for rendering because it takes an hour per frame.

And sheep shagging!

Are you the same Don Hopkins who ported SimCity?

Yep. Spot and I hung out together at CMU, when he was working with Andy Witkin doing amazing graphics stuff, and I was working with Brad Myers doing Lisp user interface stuff. That was when I finally bit the bullet and learned X-Windows so I could hate it better, and started porting SimCity from NeWS to TCL/Tk. (The unix-haters X-Windows chapter was the result of that.)

Huh?

If you press the "up arrow" key when you see something you like, the current sheep is sent off to pasture to shag, so its silent lambs will inherit the earth.

Reminds me of the process used to build the most wanted and unwanted song. The most wanted song is a terribly cheesy pop song, the most unwanted song is a bizarre mishmash that is kind of interesting to listen to.

And remote execution.

sounds like you don't know how it works. please check out the code and LMK if you find any real bugs. it does not run downloaded code.

I uninstalled Electric Sheep after http://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2005-4581/

> This local exploit to the sheep client does not pose a significant threat as electricsheep does not setuid(0).

> The vendor was notified on November 18, 2005. The vendor was extremely responsive and cooperative in regards to these security issues. All issues are fixed in the CVS HEAD of Electric Sheep client development and will be included in the next release.

that's not remote code execution and in a 12 year old version that was fixed right away.
