This is not the reason. The reason is that, although adults that were child prodigys do have good retention and are quick learners, others, who were smart but not prodigys, eventually catch up. Prodigys are in posession of a subset of skills that prove to be very effective at making them advanced at a young age, in adulthood other skills like creativity and passion prove to be the read advantage

One is Sneakemail, another is mailexpire, but I think thats defunct now.

I cant figure out it its a bad article or he has nothing really interesting to say.
He says software sucks, but I'm not sure if he's addresses the quality (bug wise) or the quality (user interface wise). I'm inclined to think he's addressing the suckyness of user interface since he's into VR.
Now, anybody who is complaining about the ability of humans to design user interface should not be even mentioning unix. If your going to complain about user interface complain about the best interfaces developed, MacOS, BeOS, etc, not the worst (in terms of the general user)
If he's complaining about the quality of the user interface of unix (shell, X, etc) then I think he is making the wrong point. Can I complain about the quality of a BMW or Lexus because it doesnt fly? It does what it does, and it does it quite well. As far as I can tell, being an administrator for a web site mentioned in my sig, linux/unix does what it does perfectly.
Now, if he's complaining about the quality of software in terms of bugs as compared to hardware, I dont think this is a fair comparison. Although I'm not an expert of hardware/chips/etc I'm pretty sure that the "paths" that execution can take through hardware is much smaller than through software. Hardware is a low level sub set of the way to execute logic, software is above this and necessarly has more complexity and variablity. Software is also often cranked out a lot faster, and can be patched a lot easier, and microsoft doesnt make chips:) I'll bet if you hardcoded windows, or netscape navigator into a chip it would be just as buggy.
I believe NSI is pure capitalist evil, but I remember reading that they hold onto a domain name up to 6 months after it expires to give the owner a chance to buy it back and to reduce your risk of having somebody waiting in the shadows and ready to jump on your domain name the day it expires. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but dont get angry at me for being ignorant

This was sent to an address I have never used, the spammer they hired built it from a domain I owned and my first name. I'm sure this information was supplied to them by network solutions.
On a consumer level, one of the best ways to fight spam is be proactive on a marketing level. We created a service called Sneakemail that lets the average user implement the "get your own domain and make a new address for each use". Our philosophy is to reduce the "value" of email addresses given out to ebiz while keeping the "value" of them for you the same. A disposable sneakemail address has less value for an online business, its only just a temporary and revokable contract of contact between you and them and has little value for resale. Its also in an ebiz's best interest to keep that address to themselves because spam sent to that address from elsewhere can be very easily traced back to them.
The whole spam war is sorta like the war on drugs, the harder you make it for spammers to get spam to your inbox, the more valuable the spam becomes and the more its worth it to them. But if you take the value of your email address for them away its probably not worth their time and money.
Just in case anybody thinks this is nanotechnology, it is not. Its just really small construction. Not that it isnt cool, but nanotechnology is, by its nature, beyond cool. This really has nothing to do with nanotechnology except techniques that build this small could be used to help or bootstrap nanotechnology. In nanotechnology, every atom is deliberatly included. In technology like this, natural structures of atoms are shaped, just like normal construction, but just at a very small scale. I know no nanotechnology claims were made in the article, I'm just venting, but I have a feeling this story will be misrepresented in news outlets as a type of nanotechnology. Although we might as well get used to it, "nanotechnology" will eventually become a household word years before the true promise of nanotechnolgy becomes available with the ability of nano type assembly and replication.
They ask for your phone number whenever you want to run their little search engine? Imagine if altavista asked you for your phone number every time you did a search. I'm really getting sick of seeing the word "phone" on internet forms. You know the only reason they are asking is to either try to sell you something or sell your phone number to somebody else trying to sell you something. Basically asking for your phone number is tantamount to asking for a run to the phone and a few minutes of your time, or wasting your employers money. I'm also sick of headhunters seeing my resume on dice.com, seeing it has no phone number but clearly has an email address, looking up my number and calling me. I think we need a movement to divorce all relationship of phone to internet.

I've found the O'Rielly book on apache is much less readable than the confusing online docs. They should be ashamed of themself for publishing such a waste. I have a copy of "Apache Server Administrator's Handbook" and its not bad at all but I think that all books on apache are bound to suffer the same fate to some degree because apache is so damn confusing.

There's a big difference between finding a security hole in someone's system, and immediately notifying the sysadmins so they can close it.
I have a feeling you'd have trouble explaining that to the FBI and their prosecuters after they get used to asking for 7 years.
Point taken. I actually called up the spam company but there wasnt anybody available and I didnt leave a message.
Huh???
