Wasn't on my screen, but note:
http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=37887
will get you there just as well. You don't need all that stuff after the Number=nnnnn.
And a note to strangers and newbies. If, instead of http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl you have http://wordsmith.org/board/showflat.pl at the beginning you'll end up in the whole thread and specifically at the first post. Makes it hard to find the specific post so any information to direct us to the post you have in mind would be helpful. Like the poster, date and time of the post.

This one is widely acknowledged as apocryphal
Really! Who, much less Bill Gates, would think anyone would need as much as 640K RAM! When I was getting in to computers it was widely acknowledged that 4K was plenty for anyone.

for intelligence to be achieved would require design and software advances unimaginable at present

I would certainly like to see Hawking's original before I attempted to speak intelligently about a criticism of it.

actually, researchers at Cal Tech, and other universities, have been exploring creating QM* computers.. if they can actually make one, it would be 1000+ times faster, and more powerfull (ie, greater memory) than anything we have today.. Its not that it hasn't been imagined, it is that it just hasn't yet been constructed.
* see tsumw thread in Misc. about QM_________________________

And, as I may have mentioned previously, my post-grad dissertation was an AI piece about computational linguistics. AI is quite possible, but it will never approximate human intelligence. Again, IMHO.
So there!
