Only if we apply our human bias toward anthropomorphism do we think that machines cannot do what humans cannot.

But that does not stop you from programming a machine to *appear* to understand a book after reading it in one second. -- Matt Mahoney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=231415&user_secret=e9e40a7e
