Well, MMX didn't exist when I envisioned it, it came 10 years later. Markov chains, I have no idea how long they've been around, but I'd had the idea about 6 years ago. If only once I can generate a new idea, I'd be happy.

:) I invented the Hadamard transform once. Only later realized it had been invented couple of decades earlier.
