Subject: [alt-beam] Re: BEAM `claims' and misdemeanors, WAS: question
Well I, for one, am pretty darn confused. I assume you're talking about a
microcore, as in the circuit that I first read about as being a BEAM
circuit? Now I'm even more confused. Are you being sarcastic, or serious?
I'm not really sure.
And I'd say BEAM is a fair bit more vague than that. Is cybug a BEAM bot? As
Ian Bernstein asked, what is a BEAM bot? It is a robot which makes use of
the BEAM philosophy, not any specific tek. And that in itself makes it
pretty darn vague.
Signing off,
Rob Rix
