The company that started the database wasn't doing well either:
<<The database was developed by Actis Technologies, which was acquired by
Iomart three years ago. >>
But apparently there is some reason to think it's not all hype:
<<Actis founder Stephen Whitelaw is recognised as an expert in the field and
has often been called upon to trace hidden information on the web. >>

Useless hypotheses, etc.:
consciousness, phlogiston, philosophy, vitalism, mind, free will, qualia,
analog computing, cultural relativism, GAC, Cyc, Eliza, cryonics, individual
uniqueness, ego, human values, scientific relinquishment
We move into a better future in proportion as science displaces superstition.
