The other thing is I get creatively blocked. Just like the great DNA himself. I need a squad of homework-cheerleaders really. I have two days to finish an assignment. Hofstadter's law is scuppering me! http://www.madras.fife.sch.uk/maths/funbatches/funbatch1Cb.html 
Ironic, considering my article on paradoxes would suggest I should be impervious to them. 
I'll get there. I must. This is the best place for me and I can't let myself down.
I was going to ask, 
, if you liked Sci-Fi! On the H2g2 website I was going to ask you if you liked Sci-Fi! 
Come on; your fave DNA quote?

Well I do like sci-fi yes but unfortunately I only read the first book recently....My fav bit was the whale coming down towards Earth....that was hilarious but I don't actually know any quotes.

You'll have to confront the Turing Test issue sooner or later.

Basically, it's about Artificial Intelligence. The problem of what happens if a computer is mistaken for a human. The Internet poses a similar problem; to what extent is a web-post on the screen representative of the original poster? You can extend this argument to include cave-paintings and dinosaur bones; the whole phenomenological smorgasboard, even.

Was there a reason you wanted to show me all these love thingys?

They're there for everyone!
I think the knowledge is empowering; the expansion of communications technology means more and more people are predominantly companionate.

It means people can and, I'm sure, do try to keep "relationships" together over increasingly awkward distances. Nothing wrong with that if they're particularly trusting and compassionate towards each other.

It's just that Sterberg was aware that some people can kid themselves that they have a kind of love with someone that they actually don't!
