That implies the reverse order of invention as actually occurred. DITA might be superior, I have no idea... haven't really used either. DocBook seems a bit more actively developed though, no official RelaxNG schema for DITA for instance.
The computer in our heads is analog, but the program it came from is not. The brain itself is complex and noise, but it's expressed in a genome with relatively little data... data which is itself not completely random, but has evolved. The gene/LOC comparison is not completely accurate, but it's not completely faulty either.
We know that with an appropriate domain specific language an AI can be developed from as many bytes of code as the information content of our genome... we know because that's what our mothers did. We just don't quite know how to write it or how powerful the computer running it will have to be if it's digital.
Android does exist now though... and Windows Mobile 7 will be an extremely hard sell, Microsoft lacks the fanbase Apple has to evangelize it's products.
It's most vocal supporters are technophiles, the same kind of people who look at multitasking and say... Android it is.
The engineering costs are paid for, but there are these nasty monopolies for 20 years which will drain every tiniest little bit of profit up to what to the market will bear... aka patents.
They already have tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets... which can inflict a lot of damage too of course, but still they are not without existing semi non-lethal crowd control weapons.
Water canons and tear gas also have the advantage of visual intimidation... if the heat gun looked like a giant laser beam swooping through the air it would probably be more effective, unfortunately not physically possible.
Can't really keep first world economies afloat when everyone is making fast food worker salaries though... our economies need a large middle class, competing with China on wages doesn't really give us one.
There is a difference between how things should be and how they are.
For the foreseeable future there will be no full employment, so employers will start degrading working conditions... it shouldn't be normal, but it is still the norm.
I don't understand why people would want to pay for either HP or TI, they are both overpriced for what they deliver.
A Casio FX-9860G Slim is dirt cheap, great processor, decent screen, the absolute best form factor and a complete C SDK. No native RPN, but plenty of add-ons for that.
Developing what we know... that's a strange bit of double think. The viability and reliability of say MSRs for power generation is about as well known as the potential for cost reduction in concentrated solar power. Outlook is good on both fronts, but neither is a known.
I meant to say liquid sodium cooled reactors instead of molten salt reactors. There is nothing wrong with MSRs safety wise. There are of course no commercial design for reactors at the moment or the foreseeable future. They are one of those other designs... about which we likewise have been hearing for decades.
It's all very nice in theory. In the mean time two types of reactors get build in number. Water moderated reactors (great safety record, but limited fuel) and molten salt reactors (catastrophic safety record, NIMBY please).
All those other designs are interesting, but by the time they are production ready solar should be cheap, efficient and plentiful.
Decommissioning costs for wind power might not always have been taken into account when plants were build, but at the end of the day it's still more than an order of magnitude less than construction cost... so it doesn't really factor into the cost of wind energy. The same can obviously not be said of nuclear power.
Not a fan of wind energy, too unreliable, but I recognize FUD when I see it.

They are switching to something more domain specific though, not to some general alternative.
"already have DITA"

You mean like RFC4398? :)

There is unfortunately no browser support, which surprises me ...

Did you post this on your iPad?
So what are their cost per MWatt to build compared to light water reactors?
The engineering costs are paid for, but there are these nasty monopolies for 20 years which will drain every tiniest little bit of profit up to what to the market will bear ... aka patents.
If you are a far left liberal why would you want government to pay for it and then essentially give them away to private investors?
If it publicly funded it should be publicly owned IMO.
HVDC is an option as well as superconductors.
They already have tear gas, water cannons and rubber bullets ... which can inflict a lot of damage too of course, but still they are not without existing semi non-lethal crowd control weapons.
Water canons and tear gas also have the advantage of visual intimidation ... if the heat gun looked like a giant laser beam swooping through the air it would probably be more effective, unfortunately not physically possible.

Hippies don't want nuclear power period ... the proliferation sensitivities of reactor designs and reprocessing plants they don't care shit about.
Pure government paranoia, nothing to do with hippies.
That's energy efficiency for storage ... that is kind of putting the horse behind the cart, you still need to generate it first.
It doesn't really work for small scale operations, but HV-DC can carry the power over vast distances.
I don't think that question is accurate, it includes it by definition.
Is free speech worth having rotten.com out there?
The FX-9860G Slim uses AAAs too.
I don't understand why people would want to pay for either HP or TI, they are both overpriced for what they deliver.

"the one" doesn't factor into the average cost of wind energy either.
Americans confusingly call sodium-chloride, which is table salt, sodium. In a technical discussion sodium will generally refer to the metal though.
Oops, meant liquid sodium reactors ... not molten salt ... damnit.
