cool screensaver... "It's run by thousands of people all over the world, and can be installed on any ordinary PC or Mac [or Linux]. When these computers "sleep", the Electric Sheep comes on and the computers communicate with each other by the internet to share the work of creating morphing abstract animations known as "sheep". Anyone watching one of these computers may vote for their favorite animations using the keyboard. The more popular sheep live longer and reproduce according to a GENETIC ALGORITHM with mutation and cross-over. You can also design your own sheep and submit them to the gene pool. The result is a collective "android dream", blending man and machine to create an artificial lifeform."
