I think Kurzweil exudes enormous charisma when in person (this is second-hand account from a person much smarter and wiser than me). This, combined with his track record in diverse areas, seem to elevate his drivel above those other "furturologists" in the media.
I've got my EE degree eons ago, but I've never heard of this guy, perhaps because I went into this crazy software business.
Regardless, a prominent (I assume) analog designer/educator passing away is tucked away (collapsed) while some bogus half-ass bullshit iWhatever "stories" get the full billing on the slashdot front page EVERY FUCKING DAY.
Let me just say, FUCK YOU TACO! FUCK YOU SLASHDOT.
It's not about the good ones, but ones out there, and sendmail is certainly ubiquitous and its history teaches us a lot.
Eclipse (the other section I read), despite her success, has gathered quite a crud along the way (anyone who tried to write plugins would know this), and is evolving to adapt to new challenges.
I scanned the Sendmail chapter and it was pretty interesting - an important piece of Internet's software infrastructure that evolved over time along with the internet.
Eclipse chapter is pretty good if you have (or are interested in) written Eclipse plugins.

Basically it describes Perl web app hosting service.
Ugg... did I mention forking?
If he likes Chrome so much, why not invest in developing FOSS browser based on Chromium?
YOU
No, you're wrong.
STFU and go away.
This is another case of theory-vs.-practice.
What's the suit against Cisco about and its status?
Because at the start of 2.6 there wasn't anything important to worry about?
Well, they've been at it since 2.6(?) started. Why change now? Cuz it turned out to be less than brilliant idea?
Hm. I wasn't ragging on neuroscience, I was ragging on this particular piece by purported neuroscientists.
"Neuroscientists", eh. Somebody prove me wrong.
I bet there are hundreds of simple tutorials on concurrent processing on the web, and these two pieces bring nothing new/interesting.
There be Borgs.

Good stuff.
This is supposed to be a site for nerds, you know, basement dwellers, not cavemen/women.
Don't bullshit us with "scientists". Spell them ouit - biologists, physicists, paleontologists, etc.
Swallow those down, as many as you can, along with fries, and wash it down with icecream shakes.
What's the track record for self-morphing languages like Lua and Forth? I just skimmed a Scala book, and it scares me.
I can see niches like producing DSLs, but smells like bad news for general application/system programming.
And you're a dickhead. He's just a kid.
The Prophet (the Source Be with Him) is needing some benjamins?
Redundant, like "ATM machine."
Corps do what they do. The inexcusable is our gov't doing their bidding, instead of ours.
Yeah, right. They were just sayin'.
Obama must sack the moron who came up with this.
