I certainly hope so: I suspect that there are considerably more people in the world (myself included) who think that the world would be better off if the U.S. and Israeli governments were bound together and kicked off the cliff into the abyss than relatively minor irritants like Iran and Hezbollah. .... >> as you are about the relative importance of lock-free algorithms. > > What is your take on the issue? Given your frequent attempts to gain attention for such approaches plus some of the silly areas you have suggested that they would be useful in, I suspect that you are a young and likely well-meaning enthusiast who is as naive politically as he is technically. My comment was kind of a cheap shot in the current context, but well-meaning individuals whose ignorant and unquestioning support enables their leaders to dish out as much suffering and death as people like you have lately get pretty short shrift in my book, I'm afraid.

Since I don't visit that newsgroup, my impression is based on what I have seen from you here. - bill

FWIW, I sincerely apologize if any of my humble political opinions' gravely offended any readers of this group (e.g., I think I may have pissed Mr. Bill Todd off...). ;^(... Thank you all for your patience, and for not banishing me to your killfile! ;)

IMHO, Hezbollah is a ruthless organization that is made up of many highly trained and dedicated "individuals"... For instance, they murdered a boatload of U.S. Marines in cold blood... Yikes! I am not too sure I agree with your assertion that Hezbollah is a relatively "minor irritant"... Oh well. I think we are going to have to simply agree, to disagree... Anyway, I promise to not post anything more on this subject! :O >>> as you are about the relative importance of lock-free algorithms. >> >> What is your take on the issue? > > Given your frequent attempts to gain attention for such approaches plus > some of the silly areas you have suggested that they would be useful in, I am interested to hear some of the "silly areas" that I have advocated using lock-free techniques for; any quick links? I will defiantly consider any advice/suggestions you, or others, may have...

IMO, c.p.t is a great group for researching lock-free and lock-based algorithms and techniques. It actually might be worth your while to drop by once in a while. I am looking forward to hearing from you over there... :) |
