Well, it _is_ research, after all... :-) - ferg -- John Kristoff <jtk@northwestern.edu> wrote:

With all respect to Dave, and not to sound too skeptical, but we're pretty far along in our current architecture to "fundamentally" change, don't you think (emphasis on fundamentally)?

From the article it seems clear that the focus is on 'new', not 'changed'. No need (and probably little likelihood now) to change this architecture if you don't want to, but a new architecture may come along that make this one seem quite outmoded.

I'm skeptical about something truly new coming from this specific project, but I hope it comes from somewhere. With any luck someday we'll be referred to as those 'old interphants'. :-) John -- "Fergie", a.k.a.
