The same hardware which accelerates graphics rendering is also usable for regex's. This is the first thing I've seen you say that has any technical merit. Embarrassingly parallel gpus definitely could be used to accelerate regex. But there are (at least) three problems with you relying on that to try and make your obscure, messy and frankly, mundane "invention" a viable proposition:
Your regex implementation can be improved markedly. Indeed I'd achieved an order of magnitude improvement before you pissed me off so badly that I threw it in the bit-bucket and told you where to get off. But that it the least of your troubles. The real problem is that you have yet to make any kind of a real case for your "invention", and the cases you have are so full of "believe me"'s and "I know"s and a total lack of any empirical demonstration, that there is simply no basis on which anyone still sympathetic to your cause (are there any?), can justify the expenditure of any effort to pursue it. You just have not made (nor even attempted to make) a solid case for your "invention". What would such a case consist of? How about a web shop selling say 100 products (just prod001 -- prod100) that each have a different price (say £1 .. £100; it doesn't have to be realistic), and the user can browse the site, purchase some number of each of several products and you produce a summary screen and total. Post the templates (or whatever you wish to call them), along with the code required to run the site. Anti up a realistic demonstration of what your "invention" is capable of, and someone might see some merit in it. Continue to complain that we are all too dumb to perceive your brilliance and no one will. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
