I suggest that they do not, and they will not. Maybe yes in some irrelevant MSWord 2017 assistant [remember current Earth assistant on Word 2000].

But of course, you're nearly right. It won't be Word though, it will be systems which have been taken over by botnets, which botnets will be fighting computational arms races with anti-spam systems. By 2017 essentially all the world's computing resources will have been taken over by the battle between spam/antispam & virus/antivirus systems, with the remainder used up by video games. Humans will be extinct. --tim

And did not a parallel search tree could distribute subtree search between cores at each branching point? \ 1 core search \ /\ 2 cores search / \ / \ /\ \ 3 cores search / \ \ / \ \ Target

Who cares about viruses on LispOS? :) Viruses are OS and architecture dependent entities. Diversity in this domain going to solve this. > video games.

Why should it be legal for anyone to own a computer that can do any more than Sony/BMI/Disney/Vivendi/Universal/AOL/TimeWarner say it should? -- My address happens to be com (dot) gmail (at) usenet (plus) chbarts, wardsback and translated.
