Wow, thanks for that link, John. I was not aware that this type of 'genetic
programming' had actually come this far. The one thing that bothers me about
it is that the scientist does not know how it works. Although I realize that
it has to come to this at some point, I would really like to know how the
machines which I create function. Besides for the fact that I would then be
able to fix them, I could also rule out the possibility of this machine
trying to take over the world or some such thing (possible with an advanced
enough machine).
