How was the wiring done to ensure that just with a pair of PIN (or ZIP) codes the telegram arrived at its destination ? Was there some sort of DNS servers ?
Indian Railways has been accepting the SMS sent by their reservation system with a valid photo ID as a valid ticket for travel. And, yes, every time I board the train, I can see fewer and fewer passengers showing printed tickets.

Most images of Head of States signing something into a law show that person actually signing with ink on paper. Suppose that were to be digital ? Could that set a trend to actually implement paperlessness ?
It would be great if Watson could filter out the frivolous patents. If it had a hilarious bone (chip ?), it would tickle (burn ?) till it hurt (smoke ?).
ok, I am going to use type-writers and telegrams. Or, perhaps, I will just use pen and paper and communicate with postal mail or pigeons. No computers, just good ol' vintage commerce style. The wheel has turned full circle ?
So, which one - if any - would be a LTS release ? I am really bothered about it. I am so far away from bleeding edge, that I want to change from one LTS release to another alone; let alone six-monthly !
And how about software developed for a particular release ? "Tested on Ubuntu release Nov 24 2010, 11 PM GMT+5" ?
"IBM says it has patented a natural disaster warning system, which uses analytic techniques that accurately and precisely conducts post-event analysis of seismic events, such as earthquakes, as well as provide early warnings for tsunamis, which can follow earthquakes. "
Without this invention, couldn't we have just read the Richter scale readings to do the prediction that this patent purports to do ?
so, pardon my lack of depth.
But, why are bootless computers so important ? Is it merely "convenience factor" - bullock cart as opposed to an auto-mobile ? Or, are there technical problems whose solutions depend on bootless computers ? For example, accurate time keeping does have important implications in certain fields (astronomy, navigation, etc.)

Open source the chemical and initiate "3D printing of the molecule" !
Well said, Sir/Madam !
The UI for navigating the image has N pointing ahead/upward. Is it same as Earth North ? And, Martian East is the same as the direction of sunrise ?
Perhaps, the tread in the wheels scuffed up some ? Valid observation though...
+1 !

What is with the Starter Dot paper notebook ? Wouldn't it work on normal paper .... ?
>>Monsanto's property must be in there somewhere, right? There somewhere and then some flushed down the pipes ...
I think, it was Mahatma Gandhi who said, "Nature has enough for every man's need but not for his greed."
top crap patents ? IBM is a great company; but some of its patents are just laughable !
In a smarter planet only IBM and its patent mongers will exist ...

Patient: The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. Watson : The wine is good but the meat is rotten.
Because it is proportionate to readership ?
Period.

...coming soon a Firefox add-on/applet/daemon/distro that is fingerprinting-proof.

But, what about the carbon footprint ? How much of life supporting medium is required for a given 'computational' bacteria ?
There is an app for that !
