This HAS to be the STUPIDEST argument ever to be flaunted in public.  If 
the types of machines with net access was any indication of programmers
preferences then Amiga/Apple/Commodore wouldn't even be a drop in the piss
pot.  University mainframes and minis are the majority of net users and 68xxx
machines don't qualify, neither do 80x86's.

We have our own group and so do you, rec.games.programmer.  Let's get on with
it.  Every year or so this discussion pops up, deal with it folks, it isn't 
going away because some don't like it.  Because some people ask hardware
specific questions doesn't mean that more sensible discussions must stop
while we watch the napalm fly.  Press K when you read an offensive post (if
this doesn't do anything then get a real news reader, it kills the current
thread and skips to the next one, no bitching, no problem).

Now.  Would anyone like to discuss some of the primitives necessary to make
a really useful genetic algorithm?  I can't see how a 'good' critter can
evolve without some powerful primitives to draw upon.  Any ideas?

Just trying to keep my KILL file empty and still get what I would expect
