odd, I still seem to get all list mails.

But I do wonder why the list mail headers say this:

Should actually have been their first thought, IMO (and I guess they were), 
Asimov’s Laws of Robotics should be obligatory reading for everybody in 
robotics. (and probably should be expanded/modernised — adapted to contemporary 
knowledge)

Not surprising, IMO, since many of the best SF writers, including Asimov, 
actually were and are scientists and/or engineers. And scientists (as well as 
engineers, even industrial designers) often take their ideas from SF, again 
unsurprising … I’d assume that reading SF has inspired many people to pursue 
science, engineering, astronautics, etc.

Also, there is the word “science” in Science Fiction, which should tell us 
something. SF is not necessarily always “space opera” with goodies and baddies 
and alien monsters, space opera is often not much more than cowboy stories in 
“spacey” apparel.

Forgive the off-topic … as an avid SF reader I was triggered ;-)


Respectfully,
Tom

Uhm, I always thought the short word for “subconscious thinking” was 
“intuition” ;-)

Reminds me of “A Table is a Table” (orig. “Ein Tisch ist ein Tisch”), a short

this is quite an insult, IMO, and I’d prefer not to read such personal attacks

May I suggest that you simply create a frigin’ filter? Also, you always have

LOL, “like other persons” :-D
What a boring list this would be if everybody would be “like other persons”.

Many 9d pros, among them Ke Jie, Park Junghwan, Gu Li … see the SGF archive 
that Marcel Grünauer compiled: http://rechne.net/dl/the_master_files.zip

60 won games in a row :-o

BadukCap is not able to record a game automatically, AFAIK.

But thombreSoft is currently working on BadukCap Pro which will do this, see 
this L19 thread

His nick is, you’ll have guessed it: “thombreSoft”.
