Your data structures are just arrays your computer makes from other arrays.

If I had a couple billion I would have better uses than building a fab.

Then you have to be satisified with Moose turd pie. Or find someone elses facilities. --

He can design his own and get help with the gory details, as well as access to a world class fab for much less than a few billion. I would be happy to facilitate the transaction. A few million as starters would be sufficient. -- Del Cecchi "This post is my own and doesn?t necessarily represent IBM?s positions, strategies or opinions.? |
