>> plain wrong.

So what your saying is that I read the requirents page incorrectly and
that this library does not in fact use IPP and MKL?  What part of what
I said is incorrect?

Is what your saying that the hardware accelerated code in this library
in fact written using modern C++ techniques?

According to the requirements page, it does not appear to.   If I have
misread the requirements page, please explain in detail, rather than
your STUPID RANT.
