Let me see if I have this clear now. We are mold forming upon the scum on top of a molten pile of rock swinging around a hot piece of miniscule debris left over from a single speck exploding on the outskirts of a tiny disk floating in a vast space full of other tiny disks and whatnot? And the going theories include one where this vast space is only one of an infinite number of vast spaces?
Put's watching my diet in perpective, that's for certain.
Looking at the video, try to spot the project management behavior that shows up towards the end once four of the bots figure out how to drag the object over. One of them just stops doing anything and stands out away from the group as if trying to think of ways to empower the resources to realize their action items.
It is this bot that must be destroyed before the future of robotics is harmed.
What are you on? This said Boston, not America. Please go through your own country's (If it's not the US and your not just a self-deprecating troll) municipal laws and be sure they *ALL* make sense before referring to an entire population of people as one big lump of stupidity.
But there's no way I would treat my kid with kid gloves.
Any technology can be misused; however, some are more inclined to misuse than others. XML-RPC inside the company is wasted overhead during a period where companies like Google and Intel are struggling to reduce processing power consumption. Even James Gosling will tell you when faced with ipc between a pair of remote components he's write to a socket over serialization, xml, or whatnot.
I just finished an application exchanging java objects -> xml -> CORBA -> XML -> Java because the developer of the other service didn't know better and refused to budge.
But I hear what your getting at - between corps or corps and customers readability is helpful. But almost every api I've seen would not be worse for wear if all end tags were just instead of . Just that change alone would lop a few percentage points off the average xml message.
It's not incorrect and you just cited a few reasons why. very careful, complicates bookmarking - a significant part of the browser, and proposing thick clients as web applications. Nevermind breaking the back button, and the fact that you have not reached the maintenance mode that I speak of yet.
In your one application you might not have ran into web app issues; however, I guarantee that you are dropping possibilities that are available in a java app for example. The event handling model, the 2d and 3d api's.
Also, I've never heard of anyone referring to HTML as bloating for an XML message;)
Give it time, my friend, and you will regret your architectual decisions.
Let's suppose One cow and bull become the choice of the entire industry - perfect meat, greating implant success ratios, etc.
Then a bug comes along that wasn't there before and is perfectly matched for that cow and spreads like the wind. There goes your entire industry because of the one problem - homogeniaty is not nature-resistant.
Boy, the moderators got this one right. You're crazy if you think Ajax will ever come close to desktop application behavior. I'm going out on a limb and predicting a future Web desert littered with the empty hulks of web 2.0 type sites. The world hasn't gotten knee deep into the AJAX maintenance stage and when they do any developer with a lick of sense will run for the door.
There is a lot contributed by client side code that can't and shouldn't be attempted in a browser. That and the idea of layering your application on top of a buggy rendering framework like the web alphabet soup we have now makes the a disaster waiting to happen.
I give it two more years and it will be the latest in a line of bad ideas - javascript, dynamic html, xml rpc, java applets, etc.
There's no way this is going to work. Anyone who has worked in US government contracting knows as well as I do that this is someone's cash cow and that's about it.
They'd be better off passing out books on Esperanto to the Iraqis and teaching it as a mandatory requirement for deployed forces. After all, the US will be in Iraq long enough for the entire population to learn the language.
"I don't feel like I can express my opinions," Bock says. "Only one side of the story was told in court. Nobody heard my side."
Sure you can express your opinions - you've already been sued for 11 million dollars, what else can anyone take from you?
And only one side of the story was told because YOU HAVE TO SHOW UP IN COURT!!!! If you don't show up, of course nobody will hear your side.
To anyone stating an opinion about libel - read the article, she lost the case because she didn't defend herself. It will bear no precedence for future cases because it was a default judgement.

Sometimes the principal that I hold so dear, that lawyers are the worst of all humans is tested by a group of legislators.
I take the other position on the funding and implementation. Given that we are effectively in a fascist country, any attempt to build such a system by a government would be killed by the companies who stand to lose money over the undertaking. And I wouldn't blame them - why pay taxes to a government who implements systems which compete with your business?
My "spherical chickens in a vacuum", i.e., ideal, hypothesis is that this thing should be shopped out to the companies it invalidates: gas stations, auto service centers, car dealerships, existing transist, car washes. Also to anyone with an interest in being a hub: mall and strip mall owners, wall mart, Home Depot, Lowes, etc. This way, you build a company funded by those businesses which would otherwise lose out on the endeavor and they get a profit cut.
There isn't any reason car service centers can service transit vehicles too, or gas stations can't be train stops, or car washes can't wash prt vehicles.
I like your long haul idea, perhaps you just need a surrogate vehicle to drive your car on to, punch in the destination, and the vehicle has build in switching to pick the proper tracks. As for climbing steep grades, a small vehicle with an electric drive would be able to, especially given that that part of the track could have a "helper" system which assists vehicles.
True, but a car is the wrong answer to the wrong question.
What we really need is to stop making cars more and more high tech and intelligent and surrogates to the driver's abilities and start pushing forward with Personal Rapid Transit. There's no reason for passengers to have to steer just to keep on the "rail". There isn't any reason to pump AI into the vehicle to keep it on the track. Highways are *not* scaleable because of the 2.5 meter footprint of each lane. Cars cause more problems than they solve and we consistently ignore that.
Lowered construction time, off-sight mass production of the rails, automated redirection around congestion and maintenance, traffic prioritization, electric vehicles, value added services via computer kiosks.
Irony is a literary or rhetorical device in which there is a gap or incongruity between what a speaker or a writer says, and what is understood.
So Microsoft spends all of it's time saying how great Vista will be, and they are taking measures to make it's proper use more enforceable, yet we all know that it will be a matter of days before the software's protection mechanism is exploited. Hence, it actually sucks.
The last thing we need is to limp along indefinately with the rotten stench of self-indulging habits laying about. And while we don't need a complete overhaul, we definately need a flood to come and wash it all away. People will hang on to the wrecked shells of their former lives if those shells are left lying around.
It's like a free junk pile. Most people can't help but rummage about in it ala Mad Max, looking for another drop of gas.
If the world turns their back on us after we've outsourced everything to it, it's the perfect situation. We have nothing but ourselves and the practicality of self reliance to work with.
but who says I watched it using netflix? Why can't I watch it in all it's crapiness in a theatre while out of town visiting friends, then come home and mark it as not interested, but still see episode 4?
The point being, Murphy's Law: as soon as you start making arbitrary constraints on a system scenarios come along which invalide the constraints.

OTOH with network devices 99.99% of them simply do not need to be accessed remotely - NAT is fine for them, and presents zero issues.
I somewhat disagree with this for reasons you will see in the future. *Current* use of network devices do not require remote access, so to a degree, you're pointing to the symptom to justify the cause. Examples include appliances with health checking connections to the service departments, a personal authentication server which maintains the private info you might like to selectively share with outside entities, ip phones, yielding a 1 to 1 between your phone number and your phone's address, and other peer to peer uses. A lot of these things just don't happen to the degree that they will in the future post ipv6.
Regarding #5, this isn't quite correct. Decimation at it's roots means to kill off 10%; however, decimation can be used to mean kill of the majority of a group so long as no reference is made to a portion of the group. i.e., you can say, "decimated the population" to mean the majority of the population was destroyed; however, you cannot say "decimated half the population" for the reasons you mention. If you are explicitly referring to a fraction, that fraction must be 10%.
Forgot the best references, but wikipedia either let you down or you cherry picked your quote. I'll have to go take a look at it.
Regarding 4. I have read that the uptake in salary you are referring to is causing outsourcing to the midwest to look like a good idea.
Isn't the car a lethal missile by nature? I'd rather they stop producing them altogether - roads are just poorly designed tracks and cars are just personal vehicles on these tracks. Put computer control in and the fact they we tend to go to the same places over and over and you have a Personal Rapid Transit System (PRT).
automobiles alltogether are a flaw. People shouldn't be driving cars to get places w/o much cargo, and the government shouldn't be spending so much on highways. The public transit systems should be far better and expansive - PRT's, light rail and heavy rails. Not automobiles. They are a bad solution.

Actually, ironic. From wikipedia:
