I studied under Chris French mentioned in the article during 93-95 (I'm a Psych/Comp BSc) and we looked at some of the earlier experiments that lead to the 'eggs'. Chris French at that time firmly disbelieveed the claims being put forward and tried to show the results were influenced by the experimenter. However the experiments were re-made to eliminate any confounding design problems and still the positive results persisted. It was very strange.
In the light of these new results it gradually became impossible to explain them other than the 'future effect' was happening somehow. I am amazed that Chris French (the most hardened sceptic there is - a friend of James Randi too) now accepts these results. It is as I thought 10 years ago, when it couldn't be explained away either, - there is something to this.
A similar line of research using the internet as a source of liguistic data has revealed prediction abilities too. These results are so good and seemingly accurate there are now for sale at $250 per monthly run from www.halfpasthuman.com. This isn't spam on my part - the offer is now closed but was open nearly all of 2004.
Free nuggets can be found from George Ure at UrbanSurvival.com as and when runs are complete.
Personally, I have some small knowledge of the weird results of the quantum world and also have been influenced by Jung's work with 'synchronicity'. I've formed these things into some kind of half-baked theory - at least allowing my rational mind to accept these results may have basis in physical reality, but one that we do not understand at all well right now.
This was my first post on/. - I never felt qualified before!

ctx-bridge 3127/tcp CTX Bridge Port

ctx-bridge 3127/udp CTX Bridge Port
Alexander Dubrovsky (dubrovsky_alex@emc.com)
This is the listing for p3127 - wouldn't it be funny if alex dubrovsky was involved
What was CTX bridge anyway? I can't remember or don't know........
