To be a true genius in my opinion, you look the world straight in the eye, tell it your full of crap, and whack upside the head with a contribution that challenges civilization at the time.
All of the above men did that, some centuries before their contributions fully took root.
I don't think Microsoft should stop Surface at all.
It has extreme promise to vastly exceed the loses it has already accumulated, and I think Microsoft should strive to hit the 10Billion a year loss threshold by 2020.
I know Microsoft can do it, the technology they provide to the world can easily match $10 Billion in losses by 2016, but only if they hunker down, and get to work.
In otherwards, you can't make billions off of the infrastructure storing liquid hydrogen, billions off launch pad construction and maint contracts and most of all, nothing can go boom sp, instead of having to buy insurance and possibly building TWO in case of launch failure, there just isn't any good money....I mean good science in that or any idea that doesn't use rockets.
Rockets=The Chinese were doing it long before we were and somehow nobody gets it that it is old hat.
First of all, someone doesn't like what is going on in the Far East.
They don't like the Oil pipelines selling oil not in dollars.
They don't like the elected leaders so they over throw them, and the whole thing is so corrupt, they don't even try and hide the fact anymore and use communications wide out in the open for people to record and play back of their corruption.
I am suppose to believe, that a country which beat Napoleon, Hitler and has state of the art military gear easily matching anything the United States or the West has, can't figure out what a passenger airliner looks like and decides to blow it up for some sort of secret gain?
Of course, while all of this is going on it is I am sure JUST A COINCIDENCE, that the make and model of the airliner shot down is the exact same kind of air plane, from the same place one of the same make and model, freakin same country of origin and even the SAME FREAKING AIRPORT, matches the one that disappeared a few months ago "somewhere over the pacific".
In case you people haven't figured this out yet, this is about the dollar. As in, since 2007 the corruption is so EPIC in our banking industry, they are robbing anything that is not nailed down to cover the loses of this looting since, well, nobody was prosecuted.
So, the same crooks keep robbing the financial system, over and over and over and over. As a result the debts get bigger and bigger and bigger.
They basically need to loot Iran, and Syria since they already looted Iraq and want that gas and oil next to Russia.
Even Biden's kid was installed to insure the Oil stays in the family so to speak. Yeah, I can just see how happy a Ukraine citizen is going to be when it is so obvious our government is looting their country for Oil and Gas, going so far as to put kids of our crony government/Federal Reserve reps in charge to insure the looting goes according to plan.
All of it is funded by the Federal Reserve and its crony Wall Street puppet banks.
You know, Russia isn't a goat herding outback country like Iran. You fuck with these people and you are going to wake up with a few cities missing.
Russia will not bend its knee to Napolean, Hitler and especially not a bunch of fucking banker wank jobs from New York.
The reason why LINUX is as good as it is, because people who are involved with LINUX are passionate about great software. The reason why LINUX attracts people who are passionate about good software and world class engineering is because you can actually do something about these sorts of errors.
With proprietary software like Windows, that passion is crushed because you can never ever fix these sorts of things, without going to jail in the f*cking fascist corporate state.
Tolerance is lower, because YOU as a software developer have EPIC amounts of control over the software stack. You are suppose to test these things before deployment. On Windows or some other piece of shit operating system with no source code this sort of thing is tolerated much more frequently because you do not have that level of control and more importantly: Defects in proprietary software are thought of as a REVENUE STREAM, not as a PIECE OF SHIT SOFTWARE.
AS A RESULT OF THAT LOSS OF CONTROL THE SOFTWARE QUALITY EXPECTATIONS ARE VASTY REDUCED IN PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE SHIT.
Hence Windows shit, vs LINUX EPIC engineering.
That EPIC engineering runs the fastest machines, the largest computers, the smallest computers do you know why?
The open source community have passionate people who don't put up with BULLSHIT BOSSES. THE KIND YOU LIKE TO HAVE AROUND AT WORK THINKING ABOUT NEXT QUARTERS NUMBERS INSTEAD OF WHY HIS CUSTOMER STAYED UP LAST NIGHT TILL 2AM IN THE MORNING ON A TECHNICAL SUPPORT LINE TRYING TO RESTORE THEIR SYSTEMS.
I figure Windows shit owes me like 5 years of sleep as a IT Monkey going on 25 years in the industry. I always think, why didn't someone yell at the guy like LINUS who wrote this shit, to fix it?
Mention any in the presence of Murdoch and his ilk will get you classified as a terrorist and likely SWAT'ed.
Well, either that or you could be driving your car and inexplicably jit a tree ay a very VERY high speed and wonder, "That is odd, where did that tree come from?"
Artificial Intelligence or the idea of mimicking natural physical systems to process information?
or
Machine Intelligence or the idea of creating systems that do not use natural systems but investigate wholly new ideas of machine design to process information?
I would like to add that the people who I will describe as the old guard, who brought up the internet have a generally different point of view on the topic of advanced technology. For example, none of us use social networking, either for professional contacts, customers or even general communication.
Ideas like Facebook, and LinkedIn are something akin to nosey email. Further more we in the old guard as it were see it for what it really is, just a way to sell your information and ripping you off, for really not so good reasons.
Now if I could charge everyone too look at my kitty pictures on Facebook, along with my personal information, that would be different! Hell I would even give zuckerberg, NSA and god knows who else a cut.
This increasingly narrowed view of the powers that be is overall a very very disturbing trend I have been watching since the 2007 financial crisis.
These bankers are funding every single war on the planet in order to save the currency, while printing gigantic wads of cash for the militarization of the police, and every single government agency. Billions of bullets purchased for social security administration, EPA...etc.
Now they slip a little money to the court system and insure YOU cannot have any sort of drone that provides FPS.
Probably some sort of brain seizure of something that suspends my belief that technology is support to serve a purpose, and is definitely not a method to sell trinkets.
Whether you believe the alarmists like Al Gore telling every one you need to live in a card board box, for the sake of his elitist friends and pay all of your income in carbon taxes, or the outright liars who claim Humans have zero affects on climate change:
One thing is for certain, postulation about whether or not it is actually a bad thing to have the earth warmer or colder isn't something either side seems to acknowledge because obviously the earth during the last 250,000 years of human existence has been way hotter and way colder than it is now.
Further more, I am more worried about plans to INTENTIONALLY overload the biosphere with idots thinking a complex multi billion year old planetary biosphere is as simplistic as what they create in the lab and draw conclusions on.
I mean crazy bat shit conclusions like spraying the atmosphere with aerosols or sucking the CO2 out of the atmosphere on purpose.
THAT is what scares me, not global warming or cooling or whatever you believe.
Yeah, introduce foreign proteins and compounds into food crops and then wonder why dozens of birds, honey bees and other animals are on huge declines.
I got an idea, put Monsanto and all these other GMO "I wanna rule the worlds food production" companies and make THEM PAY to restore the honey bees, birds and other species they destroy through pollution of destructive genetic engineering of our biosphere.
The majority of the NSA budget does not come from the GAO/Congress.
We are way beyond that point by decades. Most of the money comes from Blackmail, Industrial Espionage and drug operations. (One of the reasons for the seemingly senseless and harsh drug laws is these people really hate competition.)
The NSA and CIA are rogue criminal operations and should be torn down until we repair our governmental authorities with respect to the constitution.
We no longer live in a constitutional republic and are fast approaching the end game.
On the other hand, when government and fascist corporatist attiudes prevail in society, only the elite qualify for immediate MRI exams.
"Oh, Mr. Bankster, you said you have a slight pain last week? Lets do a complete work up and MRI."
The rest of you are having an "its all in your head", take an aspirin, come back when the bill is much cheaper to put you in the ground than give you a MRI.
Trillions of species have evolved and only one developed intelligence.
It may not be a question of time, but one of very very bad odds.
The other issue is, intelligence doesn't seem to fit anywhere on the Darwin side of things. I mean, few species have intelligence, and the most successful species so far I would say hands down is the dino's, and they were awful at it.
What is even more frightening: Read the news lately?
It would seem a group of bankers are hell bent on thinking they can treat Russia and China like Libya, Egypt, Mali, Iraq.

Works very well with the source builds of OpenWRT.
The WDR4300 hardware and software with the WDR4300 present one with a verifiably secure wireless system, that is also correctable if it is not.
That is why I use it.

Rockets=The Chinese were doing it long before we were and somehow nobody gets it that it is old hat.
I told everyone this the week after the reactor detonated.
I got labeled a crack pot, a troll and a fear mongering ignorant ranter.
I also said TEPCO is lying and so is the Japanese government that everything was contained.
But now that they admit it, it is OK.
Why these people are not immediately arrested, and prosecuted is beyond me.
The entire TEPCO board should be prosecuted, arrested and jailed. No need for a trail as they have publicly admitted they comitted a crime.
Screw You.

Snowden reveal something curious about Apple gear.
Curious in that Apple iPhone was the only piece of gear that could be relied upon to be cracked. Any model.
That strongly suggests cooperation with intelligence agencies in the west.
If I was China I would ban western products.
I am shocked. Now, leave me alone, I have to play with my new iShit gadget.

THAT is what scares me, not global warming or cooling or whatever you believe.
and because global conditions do not represent regional conditions?
That is equally insane.

The rest of you are having an "its all in your head", take an aspirin, come back when the bill is much cheaper to put you in the ground than give you a MRI.
Having government institutions with control over something as private as a cell phone is not a good idea.
This idea that government will make you safe, as long as you have no rights seems to be on the menu of the times we live in.
It will end up serving the same ole dish:
Death, misery and more chaos.
Bye bye Human Race, was really nice knowing you, don't forget to write about it in the fossil record.
and explain to them what happened during the time you "lost" two years of records once and see what happens.
Lawlessness, Usurpers and Destroyers.
If there is any justice in this Universe the IRS and its minions will be utterly destroyed, hopefully before they destroy EVERYTHING.
Impossible!
If we do not allow this corrupt science to continue, it will bring down all of science everywhere!
It is simply too big to fail!
Much more likely is we are unique.
