Hi Lance, have you got a gmail address you want to use?
I have sent Nick & Dave invites, and I am happy to you one too, but I want to 
invite a few others from elsewhere so three invites for the Brin List will have 
to do for now.  

Looking forward to waving with you in the near future,

Regards, Wayne.

P.S.

Google says:
"Google Wave is more fun when you have others to wave with, so please nominate 
people you would like to add. Keep in mind that this is a preview so it could 
be a bit rocky at times.


Invitations will not be sent immediately. We have a lot of stamps to lick.
Happy waving!"

Weekly Chat Reminder

2009-10-14 Thread William T Goodall

The Brin-L weekly chat has been a list tradition for over ten
years. Way back on 27 May, 1998, Marco Maisenhelder first set
up a chatroom for the list, and on the next day, he established
a weekly chat time. We've been through several servers, chat
technologies, and even casts of regulars over the years, but
the chat goes on... and we want more recruits!

Whether you're an active poster or a lurker, whether you've
been a member of the list from the beginning or just joined
today, we would really like for you to join us. We have less
politics, more Uplift talk, and more light-hearted discussion.
We're non-fattening and 100% environmentally friendly...
-(_() Though sometimes marshmallows do get thrown.

The Weekly Brin-L chat is scheduled for Wednesday 3 PM
Eastern/2 PM Central time in the US, or 7 PM Greenwich time.
There's usually somebody there to talk to for at least eight
hours after the start time. If no-one is there when you arrive
just wait around a while for the next person to show up!

If you want to attend, it's really easy now. All you have to
do is send your web browser to:

  http://wtgab.demon.co.uk/~brinl/mud/

..And you can connect directly from the NEW new web
interface!

Fwd: Another on-line test . . .

2009-10-14 Thread Ronn! Blankenship

This is a story about a girl.

While at the funeral of her own mother, she met a guy whom she did not know.
She thought this guy was amazing, so much the dream guy that she was
searching for that she fell in love with him immediately.

However, she never asked for his name or number and afterward could not find
anyone who knew who he was.

A few days later the girl killed her own sister.

Question: Why did she kill her sister?

First, find your own answer to this question.

Then, check out below for the answer.

Answer: She reasoned that if the guy appeared at her mother's funeral, then
he might appear another family funeral.

If you answered this correctly, you think like a psychopath.  This was a
test by a famous American psychologist used to test if one has the same
mentality as a killer. Many arrested serial killers took part in this test
and answered correctly. If you didn't answer the question correctly, good
for you.

If you got the answer correct, please let me know so I can take you out of my
address book.

Brin: Paradox Dragon

2009-10-14 Thread KZK

This is very cute:
http://www.partiallyclips.com/pclipslite.php?id=1008

Unfortunately, their is an error in the strip.

According to the first panel the second dragon can not be the
alternating Trvth/Lie teller [*].

According to the third panel the second dragon must be the alternating
Trvth/Lie teller [!].

Quite the paradox (although not what is implied by the strip).

So how can this strip be minimally changed so that it doesn't contract 
itself (the puzzle is solvable, i.e. one head each is as described)?



*: The first and third dragon are in agreement which means one of them
must be the alternating Trvth/Lie teller.
T AL L, T AT L, L AT T, and L AL T, all contradict what panel 1 says.

!: The second Dragon Tells a double negative.  If he always tells the
Trvth then he cannot have Lied.  If he always tells lies then he cannot
have told the Trvth about it.  He can only say "yes I was Lying" if he
were the alternating Trvth/Lie teller.
