What is it really about? I remember it used to be a buzz word just like "Nano" nowadays. Anyway, human beings are the most intelligent species in the world. Politicians are human beings. So I guess there governance is also sort of "intelligent control". Am I right? ;-) And if we think Engineers/Scientist are the most intelligent (this might be hard to approve) among human beings, intelligent control --> engineers/scientists should rule the world! ;-) Perhaps we do not want "intelligent control" after all. ;-) Regards, Xiaofan -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
