Lars,
{tongue firmly in cheek} Thank you!
All,
May I nominate we create a second mailing list called "god-go" and move
any and all discussions that involve infinite WHATEVER to that list? I
was reluctant to suggest this as it would reduce traffic on this list to
perhaps one post a decade...which likely would be about Peter Drake's
recent jump from C++/Java and back to the other. However, the fact that
two very active "god-go" chains have occurred in the last 90 days pushed
me into suggesting this "god-go" alternative discussion list solution.

In the spirit of this, lets bring the quantum computer built at U of
Illinois that computers its answer without actually running..
"By placing our photon in a quantum superposition of running and not
running the search algorithm, we obtained information about the answer
even when the photon did not run the search algorithm," said graduate
student Onur Hosten, lead author of the Nature paper. "We also showed
theoretically how to obtain the answer without ever running the
algorithm, by using a 'chained Zeno' effect."

That should take care of any objection like the universe would end
before the computer finished searching the entire game-tree. ;)
