We added something in the next release of SILICA (see it this week!)
which my simplistic mind thinks is interesting: colors.<br>
<br>
For a long time now I've wondered how, as a primate with highly
developed color vision, none of our languages support color as a
primary encoding. For example, why is Chinese not written (at least
in training programs) as Red for tone 1, Blue for tone 2, etc. Even
if it was just redundant on top of the language itself, it would
speed up the processing in your brain when it was there, since we
have all these neurons processing color all the time anyways. When
humans read it is, in a sense, like a top end NVidia GPU doing 2d
desktop composition.<br>
<br>
In that same vein, below is the next SILICA GUI upgrade. We added a
smart heuristic that color grades each network you see with the
"hackability". Green, for example, is a WEP network that has a
wireless client and some traffic you can see. Yellow is a WEP
network with no traffic, etc. This changes the whole way you use
SILICA. Previously I sorted by signal strength, and then manually
went down and looked at the networks using my own in-head
"hackability" heuristic. Now you sort by color and it's done for
you. <br>

STALKER is in the next SILICA release too. You can learn things
about yourself that you probably didn't want to know (which is what
happened to me when Mark was testing it on me last week - more on
this later!).<br>
