Unless we can harness the energy of the atom much better, and design propulsion systems around Fusion Explosions with enough power to hyper accelerate us at higher than gravitational effect of earth, star travel is going to be very unlikely. And nobody knows the effect of 2G acceleration over long term (probably worse than weightlessness) because we can't simulate it for more than very brief periods.
We'll need something like Warp Fields that distort Space/Time in order to avoid the limitations of our earth bound bodies.
yes. and yes. My point remains, just because you don't get it doesn't diminish it at all.
Swype doesn't have sudden jolts to which one tie to keystroke taps on a virtual keyboard. It is fluid motion and is, in itself "guessing" by the complete pattern which word you're attempting to type. Good luck pairing two key taps together using SWYPE. How does software that depends on sudden jolts work with fluid motion?
"It should have been easily seen" is a hindsight argument.
No it isn't. Everytime we have hard coded limits in computers, from single bit registers to two digit year codes to whatever it has bit us in the ass in broken systems.
That isn't to say that we can't make intelligent decisions along the way, and admit that we are far too short sighted far too often.
THAT is not my question. And unpredictable my ass, it was huge at the time, but should have been easily seen. Hell, we make fun of 640K ought to be enough for anyone mythos, so why not 32 bits ought to be enough for anyone.
And unlike the "floating point" comment below, this isn't a floating point problem either. It is "wow, 32 bits is huge, but how do we manage going to 64 bits later? And 128 Bits after that?" Having a rough idea would have given time to figure out the larger problems, and provide transition information when the time comes.
This would also take into account that processing power is likely to be able to handle the increase in addressing will be available by the time we need it.
Or, better question, why wasn't IPv4 ever designed to be extensible? Are we ever going to learn that upper bounds are problematic if they are hard coded? Things that seem improbable now, are likely to become reality later, from 640K, to Fat16/32 to NTFS's 2 TB boot drive limit to 3.64TB Ram to... the impending doom of Unix epoch time in 25 years (or so).
Yet, we always seem to route around those issues, often with difficulty, when they arise. But wouldn't it be easier to have the solution to running into upper bounds built into the spec before we implement it in the first place?
The Oven Stuffing Comment was in reference to Nazi Germany, where "blame the Jews" turned into the Holocaust. The fact that you didn't get the reference says a great deal about how educated you are.
As for the Talmud, it says a lot of things, much of it contradictory to itself. And if you're not familiar with how Jews use the Talmud, then you have no idea that taking one line out of context is completely inappropriate. Again, showing your complete ignorance of the fact that context is king.
And I wonder how the Talmud has anything to do with OWS, the protesters chanting "blame the Jews", because I rather doubt those chanting know anything of the Talmud, let alone being able to take it out of context, like what was done here.
The question is nothing but a Red Herring, sorry if I didn't let it distract me. Now I know why you posted AC, because you don't want people to realize how stupid and racist you really are.
And no, I'm not a Jew. I just find group politics completely and totally distasteful because it always leads to totalitarianism.
You're proud of the "Blame the Jews" chanting? The Cries for Violent Overthrow of our Government? The pure socialism rantings of a bunch of trust fund wanna be hippies?
Sorry, I can't join you. We tried this 80 years ago, it didn't work out so well.
Have you heard these guys? I've listened to the raw unadulterated crap that the "speakers" at these events are spewing, and it is clear, that either they are nuts, diehard communists (not Socialists), or just Left Wing Loons.
The flip side is that if you show people these raving lunatics for what they are, you get dismissed by saying "that was not an official spokesperson" kind of dismissal. So, on the one hand, were supposed to listen to these guys, and on the other hand, nobody speaks for anyone at these events. So you end up with your "much higher barrier" kind of logic you just espoused it has.
Typically, you want it both ways. You want to be taken seriously, but when your lunatic fringe starts to take over, you claim "not speaking for us" and dismiss it.
While you probably hate the Tea Party and call it a bunch of racist, without a single damning video segment even approaching this one, you have video of this that you cannot dismiss. Your friends in the crowd are a bunch of Anti-Semetic assholes and you should be VERY careful about the company you keep. While this was one event, I have NO DOUBT that other events harbor the exact same thinking. Here's more, please watch the videos that OWS doesn't want people to see...
If you have a valid point, and a valid plan, find someone who can express it. If you can't find someone to express it, clearly, then you have NEITHER a plan nor a cohesive thought of what is wrong. Using Nebulous group think is nothing short of Mob Rule, and that kind of thing is as evil as it sounds.
Blame ITIL for this, where everything is a metric, and metrics decide everything. A person who has a ton of experience is infinity better for troubleshooting than a script. I've been around long enough to diagnose most problems without ever actually seeing the problem for myself, even with end users not being able to describe things in any technically accurate way.
Recent case. "That sounds like you have popped capacitors on your motherboard, open the case and..... ", followed by "wow, how did you know". I replied.."I know the symptoms and what you said sounded reasonably like those symptoms."
Took me less than five minutes to figure it out, but a script kiddie would require hour or two of line by line "check this" followed by "reboot". Remember, blown caps are not that common, so it is further down the list of things to look for, if they would even ask a customer to check such a thing.
However ITIL is all about measuring metrics not about efficiency. That is why falling off script is treated so harshly. One cannot measure "instinct" so it is ignored and punished out of the system.
Yes, the Apple device is a tad wider than the Tab. I mean, besides to logos, the form factors are roughly the same, as a volley ball is roughly the same as a soccer ball.
Not just socialism, VIOLENCE. Not to dismiss it but there is also a clear anti-semetic vein going through the OWS crowd, with their "blame the Jews" chant.

Works for Politicians as well.
Oh, and the Republicans want to eat your babies.
And Democrats want to rape your sons and daughters.

SWYPE
And for bonus: I type much faster with swype than trying to hunt/peck on my keyboard.

That is probably not where the problem is.Frankenfood is the problem. Corn is GMed to produce HIGH(er) FRUCTOSE, something it doesn't normally do.
And I don't care what Coke or anyone else says, Coke from Mexico tastes different (better IMHO).
Mod Parent Up.
Excellent Marketing idea.

Okay, how many changed the name of their Porno folder upon reading the first link?
I hate derivative jokes
Stuff yourself in the oven okay?
Okay Flea Bagger, whatever you say.

Take for example when the whole crowd starts chanting "Blame the Jews" in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=qlKiATQIR_4

Not to a certain group of people who believe the 1st Amendment has no limits
In which case, power should be as dispersed as possible to the people, and not to government. Sounds like good idea to me.
You're one of those "something must be done, this is something, it must be done" kind of people, aren't you?
Yes, the Apple device is a tad wider than the Tab. I mean, besides to logos, the form factors are roughly the same, as a volley ball is roughly the same as a soccer ball.
Hope and Change, How is that working out?
I hope they give us the option of integrating/migrating our Google Buzz posts into Google Plus. That would make me happier bout Buzz going bye-bye.
