You know those AI thesis and software people wrote in graduate schools are findally put to use;)
But really, are we really suprised about those bots? The truth is, that is not very hard to write one. Like the artical say, it is a $1B playground, and if the money is there, you almost can get anything written...
I mean, how many wall street company have trader bots running around everywhere... Hum... things make you go hum...
You know, what I really really want to know is when will the movie come out? If we can do LOTR, this should be easy?!
I just have to say BCC rules, I wish CBC here in Canada can still push something like this.
I can't wait to get my hands on it...
But again, we have to introduce methods like XP inorder for us the programmers or managemnts to have another level of choice in attacking the programe of software development.
It's almost like when OOP 1st came out, it sounds like a good idea, but everyone just say "it's a good idea, but it will never be used or work." Well, time has changed, and I hope XP can break through and do the same.
We talked about it at work, and took a very small compoenet and test out the XP. And here are the few thing we found...
1. Management just does not like the idea even if the project finished on time. For a small company, for 2 advanced programmer to work on the same project is just not cost saving for today's market.
2. We tried to have one senior and one junior on one project, it end up the senior spending extra time teaching the junior, and resulting in the junior working for the senior instead of working together.
3. The best result was for two equally mached progrmmers with strength in different areas. For example, one is a advanced java programmer, and the other being a advanced sql/database programmer.
I think XP will only work, with proper maching of people and team on the proper project. Management will nver spend double the money even we tell them that the result might be twice as fast, and twice better.
I am a computer eng guy doing software development, and the main differece is that when you take comp eng major, we had to take a lot of engineering base courese. Such as advnaced eng cal, and math, plus a lot of electrocal eng classes. But we also do a lot of programming, and software development. On the other hand, computer sci peopel do a lot more software development, such as graphics, AI, and DB.
But overall, I think I got more out of Computer Eng. due to all the other enginnering classes we had to take. Its really helping my current work with wireless, and network applications. Even at the higher level.
However, I belive that this is only a part of learning, most of real experice is from hacking around Linux, and from work. So, as long as you are willing to hack and learn, there is no differce...
I uses NT, and Linux, and VisualAge on NT, and it's an amazing tool for Java, nevermind who is faster then who at this point...It't important for Linux to have these kind of corp. strnth develp. tools for Linux. At my work, this is what we use, it needs more polishing on some stuff, but it's good.
As far as the performance comparisons, well, Linux is still young, and has lots of room to imporve, there is no point to go head to head to NT at this point...
Folks, time will come, and the world will know...;-)
well, it's making internet/web "free"? Ok, fine, it's just making the "story" free, taking up bandwidth, and driving me carzy reading the story... Yack!!
well, he really did kinda "created" the "web", for me there is a difference between internet and web. When Lee did the "web", it was with US defence, for military use. I don't think there were much of colleges and universities involvement at that point...

Yeah, that's ture...

Sounds cool, but Debian still rules!!

No apology needed... ;-)
Just imaging Al Gore as Prez of US, that's going to be confusion...
well, he really did kinda "created" the "web", for me there is a difference between internet and web. When Lee did the "web", it was with US defence, for military use. I don't think there were much of colleges and universities involvement at that point...
Well, I post what I found...not much I can do there, the thing that really disappointed me was there were no additional links to the story
I guess they are in the business of "quick news" for the low attention spent people...
No, no, Al Gore created the "Internet", and Ted created the "Web"... ;-)
