I have his h2k talk on tape, and it was the reason I went to this year's hope. His talk in 2000 had a bit more of an emphasis on story-telling and stuff that makes you say 'wow', though constructive criticism of CIA, FBI, et al was still a big part. This year he seemed to push the open intelligence thing a lot more.
I found his talks quite interesting and I think he generally makes a lot of sense. But the neighborhood intelligence groups is a little scary.

I'm also a huge fan of the great class-browsing functionality. When you have 700kLOC written over 3 years by 50 different people, it's a HUGE help to be able to right-click and see the javadoc, or go to the definition of a class, method, or variable. It's also really useful to be able to find usages of variables and methods.
Lotsa refeactoring tools that are really great.
JUnit integration is cool too.
It uses lotsa ram, but it's worth it.
PS -- I don't work for IntelliJ either. I'm just a big fan.
So there's the scene where they have to throw the magnetic polarity switching suitcase inside of the big ship that's made out of a bunch of little ships. Well, the magnets hold on to each other because they have opposite polarities. If you switch 'em all, they'll still have opposite polarities and they'd still hold on to each other...
It rocks. They have all kinds of crazy stuff. Telescopes to Discover Card readers to light switches and fuses to.... just go check it out at http://www.sciplus.com/
If you're in Chicago, Milwaukee, or Geneva, you can experience the madness in person:

Does anyone else think it's wierd that a Google search restricted to harvard.edu for Michael Rabin doesn't turn up a link to his paper?

With all of the problems with his system that everyone mentioned above, I wanted to get his take on it, not just NYT's version for the non-technical. But I couldn't find it anywhere! And there's no link to it in the NYT article...:(
