You guys are having fun arguing it looks like. I thought I'd let you know how it's *really* gonna work out. Now most of you are going to read this and go, "boy is that simpleminded/dumb/naive" but just stick this in the back of your head and remember it in about fifty years. You'll see. Shortly lots of "smart" traffic lights are going to start talking to each other upstream and downstream to make a smoother flow of traffic. After awhile this will set up a bunch of resonance patterns in the flow of traffic. This in turn will become coupled to a host of "other" information passing networks (ei. drivers = capacitors, you're now always turing (triple pun intended) on Entertainment Tonight at exactly the same time). What you end up with is a vast complex and fuzzy network that will spontaneously become intelligent. Of course this "new" entinity mignt not be able to feed the ducks, but then the duck feeder can't decide to power down the planet either. cheers rodger -- -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_ i know i'm a bad speller, don't waste FlameWidth pointing out old news intel agrees with this, but not necessarly anything above the line. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
