How, I ask myself, does one describe this outside the language of a military report, the definition of the colour, the decibels of the explosions?

Sorry for all the shit talk. But the sand and the stink and the shit are on my mind. Those poor kids, those poor fuckers. Oh, America, you break my heart. You beast, you nurse, you lover. Great conflicted bloody mess.
You don't need to tell me who "to raise a glass to", you fucking idiot -- I raise six glasses every night, just to get drunk enough to love this country like I did as a kid: without feeling like it's using me.

Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) are a new paradigm modelled after the human immune system.

In order to confirm this conjecture, we decided to experiment with the task of extracting useful information from a database of Internet addresses.
