My laptop isn’t able to do that. one more trick to convince yourself is to use words which doesn't have exact meanings. are you have human-independent description of love? creativity? when i run fractal-displaying program, it draws other fractal each time. is it creative enough for you? when i power on my computer, each time it connects to computer of ISP. may be, it's not true love for you but at least they are more permanent than most people :D from my, scientist's POV, love is social need that made animal's groups more survival-able. animals what loves each other has more chances in Game of Live survival was never goal for computers so they cannot love each other like you can't fly and eat electricity power (or solar energy). are these features also qualitative? -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
