Not the attempt - the proposed solution dangled before us by Natasha.


of doing things then why are you here in the first place?



To interact with the *all* the members who want to post, mostly with regards
to *opinions*.
I seldom see technical stuff here I don't get elsewhere. The tech
discussions on physics, chem, computers, electronics, qualia, Godel etc are
things that in general I am very familiar with and would not miss in the
slightest. I find regurgitated news items boring. People should just sub to
Kurzweil or various journals if they want it first hand.
