I think.NET's main adv. over Java is its interop with Windows native services (Win32, COM, etc.) that derives from tight coupling with Windows, and MS isn't trying much to hide this. The Mono project must amuse the MS.NET team a good deal.
... The rest I blame on poor roll models for the kids today. What with athletes almost openly using steroids and rappers thinking its cool getting busted the kids today don't have anyone to look up to. The easy way out is how it is done. A real shame that it has devolved to this.
On a side note, athletes and musicians are entertainers (more/less), and I wouldn't hold up entertainers as role models for kids. Our politicians and business upper crust, on the other hand, support your point pretty well, though.
Dude, that's a pathetic apology. It may have had modicum of relevance if we were not out there to "spread democracy".
So like Iran that "killed" their kids, we killed our kids by drafting them and shipping them to Vietnam? And we were not even invaded.
Well, don't be pointing fingers (once again)! Yous in Europe certainly doing your bits. The French is still in West Africa mucking things up, ain't it. And you Brits, never too keen to bring up the history behind the current mess of Zimbabwe, or why Iran came to portray the US and UK as the big and little satans...
... And there is NYCL, he is in oppsoition to lawyers, and he is one of them. The most mythical man of all dimensions. He is the one which trims the edges, uncovering thruth before our eyes. He is the son of justice.
NYCL is the new Chuck Norris - he doesn't sue, he... er... well, make up your own ending.
So it seems based on the comments here. And a pretty goofy one at that.
I understand there are some serious people doing research in this so-called AI. What exactly do they mean? I mean the I part - how do they define it?
Help out an ignorant geezer.
And how do you know that such a nebulous concept as "consciousness" is even something worth talking about and not something we just made up to convince ourselves of our own uniqueness?
Nevermind consciousness. How do AI researchers define "intelligence"?
I believe that something like the singularity will come to pass, in the sense that super-smart machines will quickly develop. On the other hand, the whole idea of copying human brains just strikes me as silly. I'm really not sure what the interaction between humans and super-smart machines will be. That's one of the key points of the singularity; things will change so much so rapidly that we cannot predict what will happen.
"Every branch of science is riddled with exceptions..."
That just means we failed to understand the underlying plumbing, and the "rule" is incomplete or superficial (e.g., periodic table of chemistry). I don't think taxonomy is good representation of science.
So... hardware design is a "real" engineering (deals with whole range of nastiness the physical reality slaps you with), unlike the hack that software "engineering" is...
Is that what you're saying?:-)
Doing manual calculations expose you to patterns that'd be invisible when using calculators, and that exposure develops your intuition. I highly doubt use of calculator encourages anyone's interest in math - kids will think sine function as "that button" rather than ratio of triangle sides.

Good info. But Debian's included (don't know which branch) SUN's JDK for quite sometime now, since the change in the license of JDK, I think.
Shrink, eh. Read up your own post and look in the mirror sometime.
Yeah, but cleaning them after each use gets old pretty quick.

Yeah, man, like, why do hate America? Wait, wait, stop right there. I don't wanna know. I SAID, ZIP IT!
I sure hope you have better focus than "good design principles" for your thesis. Seems a vacuous subject as "good business management principles".
You connect it with Denon's ethernet cable, to get all the most processing power possible.
Shut up you ricebowl.
attitude control.
So Google's subsidizing Yahoo's ad business. Giving crumbs to your competitor to keep him on life support is not a competition.
My guess is you're not an ad buyer. How anyone argue Google + Yahoo hookup is not detrimental to competition is beyond me.

Or something like that. No such post? Sorry, I'm no good at l44t talk (or something). See my handle.

Stuck in Japan/Korea too long, eh.
Kudos to Intel for their bus/marketing/eng savvy, but the x86 instruction set? Please.

You (and others) explained what "more white" in the original post meant, I argued that the underlying premise is nonsense. Not the same thing.
