Yep, it's good. It starts off with a really cool description of the process by which a synthetic mind is created from scratch and thrown into a community of other minds (both synthetic and post-human uploaded consciousnesses). The re

Looks great, and as the other commenter mentioned, solves a problem I've had on previous teams. I actually like the layout and the graphics on your landing page. If you're comfortable sharing, I would be interested to know how y

I asked a similar question a few months ago and got mostly the same answers as you. Most people here seem content dealing with the lack of cool Gmail interface stuff and opt to host their own. Someone needs to build a slick gmaily interfa
