[net.ai] parallelism and turing machines

From:  Wilkins  <WILKINS@SRI-AI.ARPA>


Regarding the "argument" that parallel algorithms cannot be run serially
because a Turing machine cannot react to things that happen faster than
the time it needs to change states:
clearly, you need to go back to whoever sold you the Turing machine
for this purpose and get a turbocharger for it.

Seriously, I second the motion to move towards more useful discussions.
