in thread Should I use threads? Perl/DHCP/Radius

So even though, your own brain and the brains of most humans, run time loops of sorts, to track the event-sequences of their lives, you assert that there is better logic to do it, and that we should model our machines to think differently from us?

Besides that your gross oversimplification of the issues involved is naive, bordering on ...um...

Insects and birds are very successful natural fliers, but we don't fly away on holiday in a Jumbo Ornithopters. And we never will.

Nature is amazing, but it isn't always the best model for man made endeavours.

and our numbers are growing everyday.

I'd love to see the scientific basis for that assertion. But I guarantee you won't be able to find any research to back it up.


Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    /me builds an auto threading event based looping thing-a-ma-jig, uses it to build an AI that then builds an Ornithopter and flies far away!!!

    My apologies, BrowserUk. You know I just like to get your dander up. I do respect, and am in awe of your code and knowledge.

    BTW, I fly an OMnithopter.
