Cloud is the only practical option, as the funding isn't there for anything else, and they are all as bad as each other. That cancels out in the comparison.
Maintenance wise Chromebooks win hands down. Logically it is the only choice they could make.
The kids who are capable will have another computer anyway.
I think the real problem with this ink will be the cost. Same as the low resistance conductive inks which are already available, they are too expensive.
Er, if you had been around in the Lotus 1-2-3 days, you would have seen those same people doing _real_ programming with Macros.
That worn old road is exactly what MS went down when they created the psuedo OO macro language behind Excel. In doing so they alienated all of the business gurus who could handle macros in 123 and get stuff done.
When Excel arrived they were stuffed because they couldn't handle the cryptic way macros are written in Excel.
To be fair on him he has tried to make progress, but after a few years of big talk there is still no open source way to use the full features of VIA hardware.
So don't buy VIA because of the fancy features in the silicon - cos there is a good chance that you won't be able to use them.
You make a good point regarding the slippery slope. Nvidia already does include an _optional_ advertisement which flashes up when the XServer starts.
If they wanted to they could make it non-optional and much more obtrusive. If everyone starts moving in this direction we end up in a steaming pile of windows-like camel shite.
X-plane is a flight sim where you can fly around over mars now in aircraft you can design.
It is very accurate - It uses data from the Mars Orbiting Laser Altimeter to render Mars, and "Blade element theory" to figure out how an aircraft will fly on earth & on mars. It's pretty cool.
Costs about US$70 for the full version with mars scenery.
What basic principles? Ailerons - No Wheeled tricycle undercarriage - No Elevators at rear - No Monoplane - No Seated pilot - No One propellor per motor - No
Upper mangeement in most enterprises have a low level of technical knowledge. To them the thought of something called shredding coming anywhere near the 'voodoo' of software development would be abhorrent.

I'm not feeling it...

He works for VIA, and they do the same thing...

If large swathes of your code are auto-generated, that's a clear sign that you're coding at the wrong level of abstraction.
Err, a human generated getter is the same as a machine generated getter. Abstract that...
BTW, have you noticed that your auto-generated JavaDocs suck?
If you need javadocs to understand machine generated getters and setters, then you are an idiot.

Or is it bear shite?
If software can detect bank notes in printer drivers, why can't vending machines do it reliably?
