That in it self may be true, however the big difference between influencing routers by measuring them and influencing subatomic particles is that the former is predictable whereas the latter is not. Monitor a router's interface and you can tell what the value would have been if you had not measured it (provided that you know certain characteristics such as query and response size, path to the router) and what it was at the moment you measured it. After measuring the state of a particle, you cannot tell what its state was before measuring it nor what it is at that moment. But I am certain this is getting off topic :) cheers, Alex -- Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/mrtg FAQ http://faq.mrtg.org Homepage http://www.mrtg.org WebAdmin http://www.ee.ethz.ch/~slist/lsg2.cgi
