Yes, so if you have limitations even with infinite memory you sure as
hell are going to have limitations with a real computer with finite
memory. Face it, all this "top goal" stuff many on this list have been
talking about is total crap. It might be fun to be the slave master to a
race of super intelligent beings for eternity, but it's just not going
to happen.
