Hi Marsha, Yes, I have been following your posts. It takes a lot of metaphors for me to understand how another thinks. Yes, I know myself, but certainly not with my brain.
Interesting subject on Science Friday today. Called Tracking Truthy Ideas. I guess there is now a group which tracks truth on the internet in order to understand the spread of artificially created memes. Hmmm... Truth tracking. Doesn't sound much like net neutrality to me. Sound more like big brother. Of course the emphasis was political, what do you expect. I wish Wikipedia would be tracked for truth, it seems a bit biased in many subjects. But I guess you get what you pay for... http://www.sciencefriday.com/program/archives/201010085 Cheers, Mark On Fri, Oct 8, 2010 at 1:05 AM, MarshaV <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Oct 7, 2010, at 6:46 PM, 118 wrote: > > > Hi Marsha, > > > > Oh, I've taken notice.
