the person that wants to spend money, but just can't quite imagine what he needs? That is a pretty cynical, but could be amusing after a couple of drinks.
It would be more interesting as a profile generator - put a dollar in and it tells you what it knows thinks of you. "You are overweight, have poor muscle tone, droopy eyes and carry overpriced gadgets" -> are you a programmer?
It could be a feature of singles night - to suggest who you should hit on, or advise you to just go home...
What I remember (from ~14 years ago) was that it worked well, with client caching, if everything remained connected. If you worked disconnected, you had to manually resolve conflicts. At the time, we were using stateless nodes, auto-caching the 'seldom modified', and using "cvs" as a cache conflict resolution mechanism. Was mainly ok.
Anybody remember Plan9? A not fully developed idea in it was of an anonymous workstation. The workstation would behave like a caching terminal which could run applications. Since it merely cached from the file server, and the same apps ran on all hardware, you could move from station to station without an active sync.
The hierarchical storage mechanism in Plan9 was almost instantly recognizable in TimeMachine. Basically, all data from workstations dribbled towards file servers which snapshotted to optical storage. To go back to where you were yesterday, just involved mounting your workspace with a/yyyymmdd/ in the path.
That would make alot more sense than an internet wide bootp....
IP agreements are the sad thrashing of the nearly dead; like the dinosaurs trying to escape the tar pits. WIPO is all very polite and such, but sending soldiers to die for natural resources is one thing, sending them after "IP" is quite different. I hope I'm not proved wrong.
But what about the old fashioned way of exploiting the spoils of war? Between that and open immigration, we built atomic weapons and landed on the moon.
Its a bit unseemly to just purchase stuff and figure out how it works....
Being socially acute, diplomatic, engaged and engaging requires a full-on use of all faculties and senses. In most situations, maybe not taste. It is a 'live action' performance of your mind weighing and balancing sensory input, subtle cues, in a sort of dance of ideas, camaraderie and debate that is exhilarating and a bit frightening.
Perhaps that is why Turing chose the test he did, rather than asking for the solution to Fermats last theorem.
Its a good perspective; but cobol seemed 50 years old 25 years ago when I learnt it. It is weirder that UNIX is 40, and C somewhere around 35. C still seems very spirited, despite a few rounds of standardization, and its weird dialects. UNIX has suffered more with prosthetics, but I'm amazed at the range and breadth of applications of modern UNIX; much of the credit for that goes to linux.
Thanks for the clarification; but I think your version is worse than the one implied in the summary. This effectively makes the grey market illegal; and hands arbitrary price-fixing back into the hands of the manufacturers.
I saw a documentary where the bees went on a sorta strike - I really couldn't follow the details - something about ownership of their honey. It nearly crippled the planet, and made everybody very sad.
Bees are pretty scary too, apparently they can lift a whole airbus! I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.
Is somebody reaching into your wallet. These useless security measures sell machines, service contracts and employ people. It is a bit like the "new deal", except instead of getting roads and parks, we get grabbed and imaged.
Personally, the whole groping thing is ok; I wonder if there is a happy ending for first class customers.....
Good volunteering; I wish you luck with gathering and publishing that info. It is great how a small start (WikiLeaks) is spurning people on to break this information hegemony. Now we have 'xscess' here offering to take another angle. Make sure to get some help, that is a lot of territory for you to cover.

"C++ is disproportionally used where performance really matters."
But, as a freelance software dev, this disregard for proportion, is more than bread and butter.
It covers coke + hookers too. Thanks BS! I hope you keep at it for a while yet....
Bitter revenge fantasies of the impotent. Do FOX know about you? You might get a show.
Not fully realized == didn't present a use case :)

I'm sure they've been called worse things by better people.
Agreed! BASIC becomes so cumbersome, when you step up to the next level, the reasons for better organization don't need to be explained.
FORTRAN (my first), for example, sucked for all that incomprehensible gibberish you had to add, just to do nothing; never mind the JCL wrapper.
PL/I (my second) was worse - although you could understand the silliness 'sin(x) = y;' its endless desire to please grew quickly tiresome.
After being whipped by a Swiss dominatrix pretending to be a Pascal compiler; C was like a godsend.
C remains a godsend, despite its bastard offspring (c++, java, or the insane gcc-extentions).
Simple, clean and expressive goes a long way.
But without suffering through BASIC, FORTRAN, PL/I and Pascal; I never would have appreciated it.

Ignorance and superstition are an important part of civil defence in other countries as well. Watch FOX news sometime.
lets take out china. They are a PITA with all their pro-china economic stance and shit. Once NK is surrounded, they'll capitulate pretty quickly.
Reading your scenario fills me with a swell of patriotic pride. I think I'll sleep better tonight, knowing we are so well prepared.
Technological innovation in the mobile space has been swept aside by marketting innovation.

Bruce Lee left a great legacy in his documentaries. If we can use this technology to reincarnate the master; we can all learn from his movements.
The master could reach down your throat, pull out your heart and show it to you while it was still beating. He was that fast.
kinda feel like pizza.
I think we could clone Bruce Lee by feeding his all documentaries into one of these memresistor brains, and then all learn from the master.
woah.
crap, out of mod points. Good one.
I think you have the Harper::Flanagan relationship a little backwards.

porn is 3d's killer app, and apple will ban it.
is getting tantalizingly close. Ok, half way to go, but maybe there are more eliptical galaxies.
The pot heads would be insufferable.
