This will probably become the Internet version of Devil's night, the infamous night before Halloween. While the worm may have limited technical impact (who really knows), it could become the cover for a world of unrelated technocrime.
Where else are you going to find paper tape and Hollerith card punches?
Kilgore, "smell that? You smell that?"
Lance, "what?"
Kilgore, "punched paper, son. Nothing else in the world smells like that. I love the smell of punch cards in the morning. You know, one time we had a backup bomb, for twelve 3380 disc arrays. When it was all over, I walked up. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' dink file. The smell, you know that paper smell, the whole machine. Smelled like (sniffing, pondering] VTOC corruption."
Diamonds on Maglev, way beyond Ruby on Rails. Project schedules are no longer than 15 seconds; there are only three instructions to learn; and you never have to support your code because it gets refactored every 15 seconds. DoM uses Olympic gymnastic development, which is very agile, and drive-byes instead of scrums. Everybody carries heat, and no one speaks the same human language. There are always positions open because the average life of a team member is three drive-byes.
It is ironic and wasteful that we are building megawatts of DC generating solar, just to convert it to AC to power all those wall worts that convert it back to DC to power our electronics.
Actually, this is more bad news for the artists, who will wind-up footing their own lawyers' legal bills. Truly a damned-if-you-do and damned-if-you-don't squeeze play for something that deserves neither. Hopefully, a lot of great artistic work will come from it, as the seemingly endless suffering should inspire mountains of artistic works.
So it is obvious, the reason that the iPhone is not selling in Japan is because the LOVE it too much. The need of a computer, the lo-res camera, and complete lack of video recording (and 2 camera video phone, which has been common there) are just too adorable to buy. I just get goosebumps thinking about it. Of course, Microsoft has jumped on the "more Apple than Apple" bandwagon, as usual, and will offer a Windows Mobile 666 with a green monochrome screen that is 8-bit ASCII only VT100-style, and it will weigh 30 pounds. Japan will have as orgasm over that and worship it so much that they will be banned from the country.
We're talking about outer space, at a volume that makes the oceans seem as small as a swimming pool. It would be easier to filter all the gold out of the oceans than to 'Roomba' just LEO.
It is illegal for people who testify before Congress under oath to lie (perjury). However, there is no law against organizations misrepresenting themselves in such a way. Corporations do not take an oath, people do. Therefore, if you can construct an organization that can misrepresent itself through its people without those individuals who testify under oath actually testifying a known (to themselves) falsehood, then you have a legal loophole. You might think that in order to construct such an organization there must be a conscious and concerted effort among the leaders to create such a deception, but that is not necessarily true. If the charter of the company is in line with its need for self-preservation and sustained growth, you might envision how its "misguided" practices might ignore the rights of others and the laws that govern people. There are other remedies for corporations, but they are treated quite differently (and more differentially) than people. This may not seem right because it shouldn't be. However, half of all murders go unsolved, and that is not right but it is true.
I don't know of a serious professional photographer or cinematographer that could get by with a consumer display. Hell, many are still using CRTs. A good Ikegami 20" CRT sells for about five grand. An Eizo or NEC 20" production LCD will cost the same. Then you need to buy a color calibration unit. The cost of not having one is much higher in the form of bad prints.
It is true, these companies are only American in name, as the majority of their workforces are located overseas. They could easily adopt the pharmaceutical model of moving their taxable income there too. Frankly, I do not understand why they have not done so. Could it be patriotism?
"Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity," Hanlon. The wheels started coming off this cart when Gates began fading from the picture. It was true for Ford, IBM, Compaq, Novell, and many others too. Until there is a new focus, these lapses will just get worse. Company Founders set the tone, and the company goes tone deaf when they leave. Some transcend the loss and move on while others founder.
By most states' laws protecting minors, any minor could be convicted of "committing a sex act with a minor" by masterbating oneself. That would make almost every minor a pedophile. Therefore, the remedy is to prohibit puberty until the age of 21. While they are at it, I suggest they repeal the law of gravity, which I find to be very annoying. Then there is the law of unintended consequences, which should definitely be revoked BEFORE repealing the law of gravity.
I've been noticing how everyone is getting heavier (except Steve Jobs). Apparently, this epidemic has reached galactic proportions. Of course, we should have suspected the Milky Way to be fattening.
There is more to growing a tooth than stem cells. You can't just plant teeth like seeds in dirt. It has to attach to the right blood supply and the right nerve. Teeth do not sit in bone; so you can implant them like titanium screws. They need a periodontal ligament which supports the tooth in the bone and allows it to flex. The ligament has to attach to the bone as well as the tooth. That is one reason they cannot transplant teeth or even move your own wisdom teeth to the first or second molar position in your mouth.
It will happen, but it will take a lot longer than any researcher is willing to concede.
What if I buy a rosebush and plant it in my garden, then somebody uses it to deface little kids and old ladies with its thorns? Am I kinda liable for that?
Is a computer more like a gun or a rosebush? I guess that depends on whether it is running Windows or Linux.
Anyone who remembers sitting in front of a 15" RCA CT-100 and watching the original episodes, not the reruns, is definitely not the target demographic for this film. The past be damned, it is time to move on or be doomed to the sweet smell of nostalgia, not unlike chloroform in many ways.
"Windows 7" will 'scale' to 256 cores like "Windows 386" 'scaled' to 256 DOS boxes. BtW, if they call it "Windows 7", does that mean it is 379 versions behind Windows 386?
Actually, WIN386 was a very good hack. Try running it on a 3GHz P4 with 4GB RAM; it screams.

Dell buys HTC.
This is like asking Dilbert how to get management excited about a fast Fourier transform. You would be better off posting this on Facebook.
CBS 60 Minutes did a piece on FMRI at CMU in January. Watch it -- http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4697682n.

The same reason that Hilary Clinton does not go out naked, some things are just not meant to be viewed in public.

It takes 1000 screaming people to generate a watt's worth of energy (one joule of energy per second).

They could just buy one from China and get them to manage it too (at half the price).
Great! Now I finally have a use for that VT100 in the garage.
