Ok, from what I understand there are two basic models for cognition... Symbolic and Connectionist. Everything that I've read about the two suggests that they are mutually exclusive in architecture and I agree w/that. But in your opinion, would you say that they could coexist in the brain or any abstract intelligence? Maybe they could be utilized by different cortices and have some sort of way to communicate. Is this just totally out there or could this actually happen?
People are asking why you need a *NIX on a computer like this but I say why not. It's just plain cool and exactly what these OS's need to get popular w/the general public. It's a lot less hairy to set-up a trashy portable to use Linux/BSD where there isn't any risk of getting burned badly b/c you need to get it up and running b/f the next work week. In my opinion this is what will get more people playing around w/these OS's and that's how we all get hooked right? Don't tell me you came to love computers out of using WordStar and 1-2-3.
