Slashdot Mirror

Picking the only named engineer in the article (actually the in the Sugarvolt video), Marty Bradley has a PhD in aerospace engineering and a high profile career at one of the worlds best aerospace companies, with a whole bunch of other super smart engineers looking over his shoulder to ensure he doesn't waste company money. He has studied the idea in detail, and thinks it might work. You've read a pop-engineering article, and on that basis you call Dr Bradley an idiot.

It looks like a hard problem. I don't see how it could work. But my degrees in maths and physics are nothing to his education and experience in this field. If you happen to be an experienced aerospace engineer who has looked in detail at the proposals, you've earned the right to call him an idiot (if the proposals are, in fact, idiotic.) Otherwise acknowledge your own ignorance, and be a whole lot more humble.
 

This kid started giving speeches and organizing rallies at 6. He's the creation of an adult. It took a while to figure out who, because they changed his name from Roske-Martinez to something Aztec. His mother is executive director of Earth Guardians and her name is Tamara Roske. If you Google her, you can see she's the activist behind all of this. Oh, and she wants you to pay for his high technology. Maybe they should get him some more vegetable scraps for his compost pile instead.

Semyon Grigoryev is director at the NEFU Museum of Mammoths, not a molecular biologist. The DNA was recovered by a Japanese colleague. So yeah, it's possible he knows more. I think I know more, but I'm on the record as predicting the premature senescence of Dolly the sheep to NBC News the days of the announcement that it had been cloned.

FWIW: This particular discovery is a repeat of one in 2012, and an earlier one in 2011, so the guy is pretty good at finding mammoth corpses. This repeats every several years:

2011: http://web.archive.org/web/20111207223335/http://news.discovery.com/animals/woolly-mammoth-cloned-111205.html

This isn't to detract from Semyon Grigoryev (although I wish he had his credentials published online somewhere Google could find them), since it's pretty obvious that when he goes out to find mammoths or mammoth parts, he finds them.

I have been a lawyer for 34 years

Let's see. From your comment history you:

• have been a lawyer for 34 years. That puts you well north of 60 years old.
• You have over 3,000 employees and if you see an iPhone on your network you take it and throw it away.
• Were at CES excited by the Motrola Xoom demo. (how did that work out for you?)
• Discus the XBox RRoD. Perhaps the oldest person in the world to do so.
• Tell someone they did an "awesome" job having their daughter run Linux. Perhaps the oldest person to ever use the word "awesome" in that way.
• Work for a church and need to implement a ticketing system.

Apparently this is your website. You look fantastic for your age!

You also apparently claim to be Chief Technology Officer of Vanguard Industries. If this is your company's website I think you should put a couple of your more than 3,000 employees to work on fixing it up.

The SMH is one of our better rags, however like all newspapers it does print some syndicated stories verbatim. It also has the occasional wacko in the editorial pages to stir up contraversy (I'm looking at you Ms Devine).

The SMH is owned by the Fairfax group, funny you should mention Fox News because Howden is actually employed by News Corp, not Fairfax.

My ZoomInfo.com profile says I'm Head of Security for Newman Enterprises in Wisconsin.

Newman Enterprises is a fictional company on The Young and the Restless. The show has a character named Jeff.

In reality I publish a web site for soap opera fans. ZoomInfo gathered my alleged employment history from recaps of Y&R episodes posted by users.

Hemp seeds are nutritious. Leaves can be used for salad and most everywhere else lettuce is used.

United Keys looks real enough.

But I could not find an "Intelligentia International AB", just a FL organization called Intelligentsia International, which does not mention him.

Here is his patent for "A system for controlling an apparatus, which system comprises a control unit adapted to transfer control signals to the apparatus dependent on the control data..."

Has he abandoned empiricism and scientific method in favor of rationalism? Disavowed science? Become an Objectivist? Had his degrees revoked for fraud? Who is this guy? And if his training is in oceanography, how did he get into civil engineering?

"Mac developers and power users no longer have the freedom to alter, rebuild and replace the OS X kernel from source code," wrote Tom Yager of InfoWorld. "Stripped of openness, it no longer possesses the quality that elevated Linux to its status as the second most popular commercial OS." Yager notes that users in demanding fields such as biosciences and meteorology frequently hack operating system kernels to trim, alter throughput, and open the resources of massive grids. "Even if I don't need to hack the kernel, knowing that I can affords me a level of self-sufficiency and insulation from vendors' whims that fixed system software, such as Windows', does not," Yager adds.

Tom has written and published hundreds of reviews, features and tutorials in magazines including BYTE, InfoWorld, Windows, Windows Sources, Windows User, UNIX World, PC World, Mobile Computing, Windows NT Systems, Videography, A/V Video, Video Systems, Pro Video Review and Digital Content Creation (DCC), among others. He is now a senior analyst for InfoWorld, in charge of software development coverage for the InfoWorld Test Center.

I am really surprised at his prophecy about the Apple OS. With the current pricing and hardware lock-in, will it ever find a market in growing economies, or even outside of the US? Who needs an expensive, overpriced PC to execute his or her everyday task? And what about the enterprise market, servers, etc.?

Again, is the article summary inspired?

Microsoft and Apple aren't sending Linux away, just underground to do the job it was made for

Is this guy really qualified to make such broad assumptions and statements? I call it inspired, and FUD.
