By that time, $50 (not $500 or $5,000, but $50) computers will be
around that will have processors with as many cores as Blue Gene, thus
almost completely eliminating the problems of multithreaded
programming. Data synchronization will be solved by simply turning off
one of the processors until the critical code has completed.
If only I could tell him that without having to wait for the snail!
