There is nothing to discuss. Oh did he? thunk slept with Valerian last night (attributed to Hippocrates circa 425 BC btw) and has revved down from 10k to 8k or so. Carbon blown out, and feeling more like "real work" all the time. he blasted out 4 topics that dance around this camp fire. and one thing all can appreciate is this: making 3 years of work available to all including those eying his secret market - is NOT- REVERSIBLE - it is not like one can say, ahh, whoops, you guys are not on my page and i'm not on your page and so on. it is done, and the COMMERCIAL folks like MiniTab and Mathematica could say "Thunky ol' chap, why should we talk to you, when everything you've done is like everywhere and anywhere on the web already" and we can chat it up with folks that know more about AI than you do?? so it is just not as simple as some might like it to be. maybe it is, but the thought of a Free DEMO (see last 40 posts - not new thought) seems like a better compromise as best ol' thunk can understand. and all this campfire stuff has been blasted into text at full on thunk speed but maybe it will make sense. maybe not BUT IT SEEMS LIKE A FAIR PLACE TO START IF THERE IS A START TO BE HAD. and Thunk does love Ruby and would like to share. I'm not sure why else he would be here really. thunk http://trevoke.net/ruids/ (thanks for this site / and it will be kept off line / if folks have questions they will be carefully considered.)
