    > Crap. You seem to be as ignorant of computing as of philosophy.

    Perhaps someday you'll understand why "analog computing" doesn't exist. Your
    childish hostility certainly provides me no reason to educate you in this
    matter.

    Philosophy, n. 1. The art of asking the wrong questions. 2. A route of many
    roads leading from nowhere to nothing. 3. What people do because they can't do
    science.

    Useless hypotheses:
     consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
    analog computing, cultural relativism

         Everything that can happen has already happened, not just once,
         but an infinite number of times, and will continue to do so forever.
         (Everything that can happen = more than anyone can imagine.)
