I never meant to say that the Conservatives are generally stupid. I meant to say that stupid people are generally Conservative. I believe that is so obviously and universally admitted a principle that I hardly think any gentleman will deny it.
If I streamed data by modulating a laser off a distant target (the moon), then streamed the reflected signal, I could 'store' around 1 light second of data, without it ever having a 'where' (within the reference frame of a solar system, for the pedants). My retrieval latency would be 1/utilization; so if I only used 0.1% of the available capacity, it would be 1ms; and my redundancy would be capacity/utilization.
I wonder if the court is willing to decide at what point creativity is said to occur. If I reduce "Yesterday" to a function of the night sky, would it succumb?

It is interesting that they had to make a rule. That implies that a notable quantity of staff were choosing Apple products first.
I worked at a now swallowed vendor of servers and workstations. Despite producing competing products, MicroSoft computers were commonplace until OS X came along. In a way, that was even stranger, since they were saying Apple's version of UNIX is better than ours.
I would think the shared humiliations would bring them closer. I suppose at least one of them isn't really trying to get it right, but it still must be hard to be around the ones that actually do.
I'm certain Terry Clarke would never expect his advise to apply to something as humdrum as making a computer more useful; but this is the mantra of all artistic endeavours.
If you can find talented people to work with, so much the better. Either way read! Read good code. Read bad code. Learn to tell the difference. Open source is a treasure trove; it covers the range. Closed source isn't any better; in fact it is often 'secret' because its embarrassing.
Read some books on the topic. Not algorithm books - although you should read those too - but "Elements of Programming Style", "Software Tools", "Programming Pearls" ( the latter has nothing to do with that baroque version of awk, btw). These books focus on developing the craft.

Australians are culturally portrayed as sociable, fun loving drunks; and that appears to be consistent with my experience. Some cultures don't have such a charming profile; and it might be difficult to resist putting the boot to them.
My cultural profile (lazy and drunk) would likely usher them through to avoid talking to them.

Is drinking and driving laws. During the period where drinking and driving was the norm, and seatbelt/helmet use was almost unheard of, there was no lack of young, healthy donor organs. Social pressure has wreaked havoc on this, and created a new, younger class of unemployed. The answer is simple - re-enable driving around shit-faced and MDs will be swimming in spare kidneys and other bits; and we can resume full employment.
Thank you for pointing out the idiotic grammatical mistake. If I were to give a head-full-of steam (and little else) challenge to the space program, I would try not to start by getting the rules of gravity wrong. In this vein, the head-in-the ass behind (hehe) this tips off his incompetence. The problem, if there is one, in education is not the lack of crowd-sourcing or "powerful, addictive games". These may be part of the solution, perhaps as likely as my toe lint is part of the solution, but addressing the as yet undefined education problem as requiring some of a set of randomly selected edgy-sounding, poorly thought out social experiments, is kinda stupid. That shouldn't discourage the "X-prise"; in fact I may have stolen it from their mission statement. Is there any chance that these over privileged, self promoting bits of chaff might donate some money to a worthwhile cause to help education as a side effect of their vanity project? If so, all good; pat them on the head, and tell them they made education 20% cooler.

Could it be because Steven Elop came from MicroSoft? Albeit MicroSoft Canada, which is little more than a renovated fur trading post.
