X-Message-Number: 26929 Date: Sun, 4 Sep 2005 09:33:32 -0400 From: Thomas Donaldson <> Subject: Congrats to John deRivas & comments HI John deRivaz: You got my point about the importance of time and timing in computers. Thanks muchly. I will add that (even though we haven't gotten there yet) we will find a speed limit for single processors, so that we can't even for math problems with answers which need not arrive soon, get a processor which can solve them in any practical time --- while many processors working together could do so. And as you may have guessed, it's very important that our brains work like parallel processors rather than sequential ones. Best wishes and long long life to all, Thomas Donaldson Rate This Message: http://www.cryonet.org/cgi-bin/rate.cgi?msg=26929
