I don't know what books you've been reading, but global warming did not take place in the 30's and 40's. The 30's and 40's had the coolest summers and winters in the century.
It's is exactly that type of junk science that Bush (who doesn't know science from a hole in his...) is trying to expound.
The problem is you are thinking metrics rather than topology.
In the area of topology they are disucssing (where a donut and a coffee cup are the same), you look at how points are related to eachother "connectivity" wise, not "distance" wise.
Topologically they are isomorphic, metrically they are VERY different.
The use of this type of visualization experiment is to see how problems are related and how they differ.
Felix Kline did some of the pioneering work in this area. The study of knot theory has been useful in managing 3D structure and composition of DNA/RNA...
Lots of "practical" applications, it just requires imagination.
They don't put Anonymous Coward on the "byline" for nothing. A forum is designed to get information. The purpose of her post was to get some information from people who knew their head from a hole in another part of their anatomy.
You obviously don't.
There are quite a few companies using Tomcat 4.0 or greater as a production JSP server and JBoss if they need EJB support.
However, there are faster web servers out there.
Resin and Jetty come to mind (use Google to find the Sites). Tomcat is a "reference" version of a JSP/Servlet Container. It is the first out of the gate... Others optimize stuff.
Tomcat 4.0 and above is scalable and clusterable, so you have the ability to do that, but so are several other open/source or less expensive Web Servers...
Check them out.
And idiots like the one above... If you can't be constructive.. Don't demonstrate your ignorance... just shut up.
This whole thing was done in or around 1980 (I don't have my old issues of Kilobaud Magazine which had the article). It was going to be a "revolutionary" way of entering data or information.
Trouble was all of the touch-typist wouldn't give up the QWERTY keyboard.
Same thing with the DVORAK keyboard... Old habits die hard...
If, for instance, a hacker hacked into the FAA computer system an brought down Air Traffic Control systems, thereby causing death and destruction, IT WOULD be a Federal Matter.

Don't know about being too old to code. The key is being too old to learn new tricks.... I've been programming since the early 70's. I even spent 20 years out of the "programming profession" while I was in the military. When I decided to get back into the market, I started back with old COBOL skills... Boned up on my C/C++ skills (with MFC) and learned VB. I went to work at a state agency at a lower salary to get back into the field. Carefully picking lateral and vertical moves into Java and servelet programming and then to EJBs, this ol' dog has taught himself some new tricks and been able to do well even after leaving the State (doubling my income every two years since I "retired" from the military). I haven't yet run into age discrimination, but what I have found is that most companies want to "re-invent" the wheel rather than listen to 20 years of project management experience from the military.... Oh well... I'll just go on learning new stuff and enjoying the heck out of every new project. The key for being "employable" at an older age is not to rest on your laurels... those young guys ARE hungry back there and they ARE snapping at your heels....
