Richard E. Robertson replied to Unseen's discussion 'The impossibility of AI'"The flaw in these arguments is that we don't have a clear definition of constitutes thought or intelligence be it human or otherwise.

Richard E. Robertson replied to Unseen's discussion 'mjoalicefrancis@hotmail.com is a scammer'"Actually, AZ is no longer redirecting. I just logged in there. Which is good because I had planned on supporting the site. If we can find a way to migrate all the goodies and stuff from here to there, THIS site should have the redirect. :p"

Ha,ha - you have got to be joking :) I don't know how many times someone tries to put my name in their computer - invalid - whatever....

I had to choose a URL, don't have one, so I asked my 'computer expert' and he said "I had to join' etc., so went back and couldn't find anything to join. Sorry for getting snippy. Programmers, generally, and I am with one, don't see the wood for the trees, and to a non-computer user like myself, it is very frustrating not to be able to go to a site, and work my way around it. So, if this was in Beta mode, does one have to join, or have a URL, or whatever else was on the drop down list?
The hyphen bit was in my name - windows computers often do not compute hyphens, so if the blog is produced on a windows machine,or a windows programme, it just may not take hyphens.

Thank you Richard - I just thought I was missing something. My name is hyphenated, and it wouldn't accept it - a common with Windows.

Tried to post on your blog page -
Gun control - of any sort - will not happen in America - The Wild West is still in the psyche.
URL - What is that all about - and why doesn't it take hyphens, somebody is getting too clever for their own good.
