no, that's a NON SEQ : you learn to read with phonics -- tho' that's not enough for the whole of English's anarchic spelling -- , but once you've really digested it, your brain processes it differently. it's parallel to learning to speak a foreign language fluently, where an adult starts by constructing sentences word-by-word (small children can employ a more direct process, as Chomsky observed). >> Even IBM's notorious deep blue failed to defeat Kasparov. yes, there was clearly human help for the computer in the 2nd game. and what is 'hijacking a thread'? i never heard of it before, unless you mean simply not changing 'Subject' when you should. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Centre for Urban & Community Studies TRANSIT `-O----------O---' University of Toronto
