It took MS 15 years to have a full 32-bit OS
after those chips came out. Hope they are faster
this time. 32 bit NT on an Itanium would be a waste.
SGI and SUN have had full 64 bit OS for 7 & 5
years. Yes, there are bugs to shake out in the
beginning. OF course Bill & Steve will announce
they are "just about to ship" for years until
they do.
Most 15 year olds are ordinary bumbling teenagers.
So are most 30 year olds and 60 year olds.
However the powerful of the Net is that it increases
the connectivity of human society in a way such
to draw out exceptional individuals.
The history of human progress is in finding
better ways of organizing groups of people.
For example, take the maligned "corporation".
It is only about 150 years old, but now is the
dominant method of generating wealth.
Previously people organized production in small
family businesses or huge state organizations.
The corporation had to wait progressive ideas
about property law and monetary credit.
The internet is another organizing force.
When it is understood it may have great potential.
First clay tablets, then pressed plant leaves,
then animal skins. Then tables and scrolls.
Even Gutenburg spent 30 years trying to get the
printed book right, but his was bulky.
And his secrets were immediatedly pirated.

Silicon Valley has been technically boring the
past four years as people were rushing to bring
startups to IPO. Most people doing this were in
for the money, not the technology. And the tech
guys had worked 80 hour weeks developing boring,
me-too apps. Now there is time to be creative
again.
Never has the foundation been stronger-
2 GHZ, 1 GB computers for a grand, decent OS'es
with a maturing Linux and MS XP, decent development
language like Java and C#, and so on.
What if you had some superior protein in your
DNA that could make a medicine?
For example, the Italian families that have very
low cholestrol.
This issue will come up in the future.
The byproducts of fusion are excess neutrons that
convert any materials around them into dangerous
radioactive isotopes. Fission reactors have
internal shields to capture execess neutrons,
but none of the fusin designs have such yet.
These guys are hard-core Earhart mystery fanatics.
This is just the latest of nearly annual claims.
Its not like- "Oh I see a rust spot on a random
sat photo- must be Emila". They looked hard for
the slightest possibility in a well-researched area.
Hope better luck this round.
An average household may have two general purpose
desktop computers and 30-50 embedded computers
in cars (about ten apiece), media appliance (phones, stereos),
and other places.
However, only 10% of these at most are networked
together- perhaps the desktops, the cable box,
and maybe an Onstar car computer.
I suggest the poster meant "networked" ubiquitous computing.
If they could only write scripts half as good
as they can do the CGI, then we might get somewhere.
This was a hollow story, as are most video game based movies.
I recall ancestral memory plays a much bigger role
in the subsequent novels. In the first novel it
is mainly the future visions. It is somewhat
difficult to depict inner mental processes on the screen.
Do you get someone who can morph into different
voices and faces like the commedian Rich Little,
or Steve Martin in "All of Me"?
Do you show possession like in The Exorcist?
Or else little figures of talking ancestors standing on ones shoulder?
Do you mean the dotcomguy?
The experiment managed to last the whole year 2000
as the InterNet business crashed and burned.

Its tme to look at new science fiction venues,
not resurect the old. Andromeda is probably
the first "Gen-X" in space series, where B-5,
and the 2nd through 4th Star Trek series were
"boomers and yuppies" in space.
Last week PBS repeated its show about the artificial heart industry.
Except most of their technology was heart-assist.
The heart muscle stays in, even if it doesn't do
much.
The showed one patient waiting for a transplant
who had about a dozen spare batteries in reserve.
There are "Semi-portable" meaning you can go away
from the main console for a few hours at a time.
But you need to sleep near it for maximum safety.
When the next ice age returns (we are still in the
ice age era), the oceans will fall as they
acculate in ice sheets, and New Your City will
be dry inland again as it has been several times
the past million years.
I work in the Denver Tech Center.
Whenever there is construction, the telcos
comput and draw symbols on the concrete.
There eight different symbols now.
The annoying thing is that each telco
put in their lines at a different time,
disrupting street traffic.
Even more annoying is that we just have T1
to the outside world, when there are a few terahertz
of unused capacity just feet away.
These kind of articles remind me of the futile
medieval debates on how many angels can dance
on a head of a pin. Same sub-arguments too-
whetner angels are material (atoms) or immaterial
(photons, quantum states), and so on.
(1) CYC is one of the few survivors of the "A.I." speculative bubble of the mid-1980s. Though this bubble was not as large as the recent InterNet bubble, there was a lot of hype. The US computer industry feared it would lose the "A.I. war" against Japan's "Fifth Generation Project". This project was going to build an intelligent supercomputer using expert systems. It was almost a complete bust.
(2) A major contention behind CYC is that so-called "expert systems" will be useful once they pass a certain level of critical knowledge, particulary incorporating trivia called "common sense". Most early expert systems were very small and narrow, with just a few hundred or thousand pieces of knowledge. They frequently broke. CYC is a thousand times large than most other expert systems with a couple million chunks of knowledge.
(3) One of the more interesting parts of CYC is its "ontology". You could think of it is a giant thesarus for computerized reasoning. What is the best way of doing this? Previous examples are the philosophers' systems of categories descended from Aristotle and the linguists' meaning dictionaries called thesarii. CYC uses neither of these because they are not useful for computerized reasoning. It developed its own exlucidating hidden human assumptions of space, and time, and object, and so-on. The CYC ontology is publically available on the net at the cyc web site . The ontology is much more sophisticated than a mere web of ideas (called semantic net in A.I. jargon). It has a web, it has declarative parts like Marvin Minky's frames. It has procedural parts, or little embedded programs for resolving holes and contradictions. Again this is on the web site.
