   Many hedge funds did indeed collapse. Their fall was not as loud as the fall of the Wall Street banks because the hedge funds at least had the decency not to ask for bailouts. More info at: http://www.nuclearphynance.com/Show%20Post.aspx

    I never worked with Connection Machines, but I am also interested in them. If you haven't yet done so (which is unlikely), do take a look at Danny Hillis' PhD thesis: http://dspace.mit.edu/handle/1721.1/5679

    Linguistics is not my field, so please bear with me... As much as I admire and respect Chomsky, would it be too far-fetched to claim that he lacks field work and expects the world to adapt to his theories, rather than adapting his theories
