It doesn't take a couple of million years. Its happening right now.
The process (you do know the difference between the architecture of an API and the process of calling an API) is easily trainable.
We extend our mental maps (both sensory and motor,) through the use of tools.
We've got to continue building tools that shape and modify information (one mental map up from data,) and get out of the 'bargain basement' mentality of building more functional machines by adding a bunch more switches.
the ability to form short-term memories is far more important to day to day living that the ability to retrieve stuff from long term storage.
My mother had a series of small strokes (watch your blood pressure folks, and that's the extent of my preaching,) that left her unable to form short term memories.
It has completely devastated the woman she was and left the shell that's left unable to live day to day because she can't keep a memory intact long enough to not repeat herself.
Its painful and its even worse than Alzheimer's because she's perfectly healthy otherwise and not suffering the other debilitations of age.
anything and everything that will keep you tied to your desk.
Your storage is internal (2GB RAM and an 80GB application and scratch-pad persistence mechanism) while the rest (500GB or 1TB with USB [for your printer{s} and RJ-45 to the net/web) can come over the 802.11n.
(Sorry I got distracted by my MacBook Pro's external 1TB drive doing its hourly incremental back-up via TimeMachine.)
Its a wireless (and slightly less top end,) version of something I already own, and use.
Yah, it'll sell and eventually shift the business world when they get around to building new stuff and NOT needing to pull cable.

I'm not buying one because of my needs for something more substantial, but those are MY needs. They aren't for everybody.
Apple got everybody to switch 5"1/4 disketes for 3"1/2 by giving them no option (and everybody predicted disaster,) them he got everybody to switch to USB by giving them no option (and everybody predicted disaster), then got rid of the diskette drive altogether by giving them no option (and everybody predicted disaster,) then he got everybody to switch to writable CDs (and now DVDs) by giving them no option.
Now he's getting rid of CDs and DVDs altogether and moving storage into appliances and services; by giving them no option.

Then you'll be reading the code only to discover that people's idiosyncrasies and personalities definitely affects their coding styles.

Good luck. You'll be at the bar in no time... I kept the stool warm for you.
Suing real and potential customers is a mighty lonely road to take to the poor house.
Record companies are watching their sales/revenue figures drop like lead balloons while indie companies take advantage of not needing a physical presence to make a unlimited number of sales.
The majors are waking up and the existence of the RIAA is now being seen for what it has become, a hindrance to sales.
and the distribution is only a download away, the artists (like Lyle Lovett, like the Futuristic Sex Robots, like...) why go with brick and mortar at all?
Porche every year for all of your record execs, (like you have 1 versus their 100) you can actually undercut the majors, and that'll just totally piss them off.:-)
I never got into it because it seemed that it should be illegal for me to create a song and end up having to pay somebody to negotiate a price that I'd have to pay to play it.
And then again maybe not. (If I really pissed off some record exec, [very much my personal style,] he'd only have to say no and I couldn't play it.)
Record companies have been broken for years and it took the internet to show us all just how broken they were.
They're going kicking and screaming into the dust bin and its good riddance to bad rubbish.

Linux has episodic incremental releases.
OS X has episodic incremental releases.
Windows has "events".
What unmitigated bullshit.
but it does make life possible for those around you.
I sucks but its a step in the right direction. (But will any company take the next step; after all, once YOU're dead, the disease is eradicated.)
Sucks to think like an actuary...

After a little research I can tell you that its:
* Arista
* BMG
* Capitol Records
* Elektra
* Fonovisa
* Interscope
* Lava
* Loud
* Maverick
* MGM
* Motown
* Priority
* Sony
* UMG
* Universal
* Virgin
Just don't buy any music from any of these companies and you should be safe.
