I just can't believe your ATG Dynamo Server is running so flawlessly. Ours has turned into a bad kitchen experiment with every ingrediant off the shelf thrown in. Then with a little customization, some glazing techniques, then a couple stops at the blender, our little atg server tastes as bad as it looks. It's so bad now, our dogs won't get near it.
As a programmer, and having this conversation with other programmers, I feel that it's best, in the world of software development to learn typing as you go. A friend of mine said that at 30 wpm, he was just dangerous enough to get stuff done, but the slower speed allowed him to evaluate the stuff he was writing as he was writing it. Of course this does not preclude an attempt at proper planning, but if you're doing XP stuff, you really don't need a blazing fast typing ability, that will come with practice. What you really need is the ability to think critically.
With all the programs that school budgets are faced with cutting, it's the lesser of two evils to cut the typing class. I'd rather have a programmer working for me who can ask pertinent questions than one who sounds like a machine gun on the keyboard.
just finished prey (crichton), and also i-robot(asimov), and there are two similar threads involved and it involves the technology to create the nano-bots (prey) and the robots (i-robot).
In prey, they needed machines to build machines, and I believe they were using vats of bacteria along with some kind of super-funnel-reducer-get-ever-so-smaller-nano-crea ter-thing.
In i-robot, they started out with a very basic positronic (term from the book) brain, then that simple robotic brain created another more slightly complicated brain, which was placed into another machine to create yet another brain more complicated.
In both stories there is a dependance on a kind of singular evololution/adaptation. One kind had come close to passing the turing test, the other a nightmarish swarm of mosquitoes using the decomposing host as a batch factory for more nano-bots.
besides that fact that I'm not a physicist, and that I really haven't thought this question thru... what's preventing a region of the world, say a huge metropolitan, or industrial area from becoming a magnetic pole? what if you could intentionally create a field strong enough in one area to keep a pole in one place?
while monitoring the locations of the homeless, it will then allow IRS agencies to accurately determine a homeless person's daily income from handouts. Not only does the tagging help us know where these miscreants are, but also PAYS for itself thru income tax!
I gave up on aol, I use sonork now. It's encrypted and has great simplicity and functionality. but if you have to talk with aol, everybuddy works fine.

You mean you've never read "Little House on the Space Ferry?"

I've forgotten my point.

being the navigator for my adventure racing team: Big Laser, I now have the ULTIMATE excuse for bad navigation.
I guess this means all those luddites are going to have to learn how to use a sextant in that interim period of the 'changing of the poles'.
