OMG, Hal? Well lets see if that could really be a start. OOPS, the cryo sleepers are definately out. Definately cant run winslows as it has to be rebooted too much. Linux is ok, but no standard yet. Comercial S/W would be too expensive. Hey, I know, lets use my old Comodore 64 with a copy of Zilch! basic 1.2 on it. Ah, now there we go. And I didn't need 2 gigs of ram to make it run either.

Didn't some guy in North Carolina network a zillion Macintosh G5's together and make one of the fastest supercomputers in the world for around a million bucks? That certainly has to have more horse power than HAL had. The software would be the tricky part. The last one went insane.

Nope. Kubrick's advisors were wildly optomistic. We are not even close to HAL (in 2004), let alone what you want.

Because many of us (those with the funding) do not understand the problem. It is not possible to solve a problem you don't understand. The "problem" is": What is consciousness? Clearly, nobody in academe has a clue.

My theory? It is MUCH simpler than they suspect. The religious fanatics have it about half-right. But with the wrong first principle: You fill in the rest. webpa
