Can your computer read and solve this problem by itself?
"On their vacation, Tom and Dick visited a farm. While there, they
noticed a pen containing chickens and pigs. Tom said there were 3 times
as many chickens as pigs. Dick said he counted 100 legs in the pen.
How many chickens were in the pen?"
With NLOS/1, it can!
NLOS/1 is a cassette-based system requiring a minimum of 12k, a
serial I/O board and any cassette interface. The system comes with
a fully documented seet of assembly language source listings. The cost
is only $200.
Stop programming your computer, educate it!

Assuming this was not an outright scam (with the answer to this one
question pre-programmed) do you think that could have been done in
< 12k bytes 20 years ago? Or, for that matter, can it be done in 2004?
No.
In 2004, everyone is going it alone. I know of several people
duplicating work
in did in the early 90's, rather than work with me. Hi! I'm 47 years old.
Besides, they figure by being the first, they can have all the riches
of making
an Ai all to themselves. Humans don't listen to each other, what makes
you
think they will listen to a machine?
