Just kidding. This is why Moderation would be key. See, there about a million other people who have said stuff like this about other mediums (photography, written news, etc). Given, Video is HARD, but so was photgraphy until about 1970. Will it replace ALL Pro's? Obviously not. But if the tech is there people will do it as a hobby. (see news people with degrees working for shit jobs at crapy local stations for next to no money, in the hopes of getting moved to a job worth doing, thats the people who would do it part time for free if they could get the exposure)

Look man I'm with ya but he probibly didn't say that I realise that saying Lincoln said that lends it some wieght, but, him having not said it doesn't diminish its kernel of truth. The problem iw corparations is they don't die. While that lends stability to the economy it also lends stagancy. Imagine if Carnagie had never died. This is a man who amassed enormas wealth, but because humans die he gave much of it to start a whole bunch of.edu's and musseums and to this day a foundation of his funds pbs.

You miss the point. This isn't going to replace fiber or copper, this is suposed to replace comm sats. Things which ride many tons worth of tnt into orbit , get hit by paintchips traveling well over 10,000kph, then go out with a big bang and BURN UP in the atmasphere(well mostly). With them there is no hope of repairing(well you can it just costs bilions of dollars. see hubble) balloons you can resonably bring down, do maintance, clean the solar panels, refuel and put it back up.
but think lisp did this in like 1958 see the wiki pedia entry http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_programming_lang uage#History if indead interpeted programing languages are covered(which they should be as byte code, scource and binary has all been legal equated by some statue).
The problem is optimisation. When something becomes the search engine, moving up 1 or 2 rankings can become a matter of great monitary importance and people start to game the system. To fool page rank people started to use wiki's to artificaly raise the number of links to thier site. To fool word counters(this was a while ago) people used to embed a hole lot of comented out gibrish at the bottom of their pages, and when they atarted parsing it out, they stated just taking on the text and making it visable or matching the color of the background. So basicly and system which becomes dominant will be abused by the invisible hand.
Like Louis in the second ring world book I take time off the wire for maintnace such as sleep, food and exercise, if for no other reason is that by living longer I may have more time to be online!!
as people are realising that mhz matter less and less, machine makers need a simple single number for the populace to understand Its all just marketing bull. Real nerds will continue to condence large amounts of reviews down to essensial truths then build thier machine (i recomend extra wieght be given to hardocp and tomshardware) this level _ crap may be on the requirements on boxes of software some day but i doubt it
How many who drive cars know how to fix it? I certainly don't, nor do I have any desire to learn to fix my car. Maybe its just me but if I own something I damn well know how to fix it if i dont i buy a book and learn. Maybe I am a phyco social libertarian. Maybe I have to much time on my hands, but, I know how to fix my motorcycle for the same reason I know how to compile my kernel. If everyone jumped off a bridge would you too?
Sounds a bit like the smart wheels in Snow crash(Neil Stephson(sp?) go read it, its good) in a rather simplistic way. A genetic precursor maybe, because we all know anyone who read it wants that bike.
So what its say is that there will be more tech jobs but they will be at Compussr or Bestbuy etc, rather than the stimulating, creative jobs we want (anyone who complains about a cube farm should go watch clerks or work at say a cvs.
Blue heart (cant rember the author) is a excelent book that is about doing precicly what he is proposing: adapting humans for the purpose of colinizing a alien world. It is a interesting read about the effects that such adaptions might have on society (the apdapted humans esensialy were a diffrent species and had thier own culture and customs) and the rekindaling of racism (apparently people had blended to the point of it beaing moot untill adaptions) that occurs in the face of such a huge devide. I highly recomend it
They will never go out of buissnes baring horible management as digital vs large format film war is far from over but they will be relogated to a niche. Point and shoot and photo jurnalism is all going to be digital because its easy and its Good Enough(TM).
they found a way to hack together the modern equivalent to a win 98 boot disk(yes it had network (on my computer at least)and on the second floppy it even had a decent virus scaner and doslynx on a third)with some meger addions (my net only worked on my machine config)but given the fact that they're using cds having lots of drivers isnt really the biggest thing. So though I welcome it and congradulate those responseable can anyone tell me why microsoft didn't ship something like this with 2k or mabe even xp(cd burners were much more prevelent by then)
