The plumbing is not the problem here. It is the Quant models that _are_ the market in many cases (certainly where ever hedge funds are significant players).
What is tightly regulated? Half the Quant algo trading models get thought up in the evening, coded overnight and activated in the market the next morning.
If you try and slow them down they just run to the head of the desk bleating that the "nasty IT man stopped me making $1000,000,000 for the bank with his silly QA nonsense" and whoosh, its in production. It is prop trading so its their risk.
And that, in a nutshell, is why the next generation of US and European kids are going to be serving coffee and noodles to the highly motivated, well educated immigrants who will be doing all the real work by then.
I guess the US (having most of the IPv4 addresses in existence) will only start upgrading when US companies need IPv6 to use all the cool gadgets and technologies developed in China, Japan, South East Asia, India and Europe.
Of course they will have missed the innovation boat (and profits) by then and will be users rather than providers of new technologies.
The article author says "I discard the radical position taken by proponents of extreme programming (XP) to get rid of 'unnecessary' documentation."
Why? Surely no one wants to write 'unnecessary' documentation and comments? That would be a waste of time wouldn't it?
As everyone agrees that you should put in 'necessary' documentation/comments then what's the problem? Rather than setting up a false dicotomy between commenting and not-commenting wouldn't it be better to try and work out what the necessary documentation is?
Because they are talking about genes getting into the population via cross fertilization. The plants in the wild population are highly adapted to their environment and are successful there. The GM plants trying to make inroads are probably much less well adapted to the wild environment and will thus fail to thrive.
This is completely different to introducing a highly effective predator into an ecosystem that has been adapting and optimizing for a situation without highly effective predators. That's why the introduction of domestic cats has been so devastating in many island ecologies.
That's why they are having a debate about it. The Indian space program has always been less about national prestige than some others and more focused on raising money and benefiting the population, that's why they do so many earth monitoring satellites (and they recently launched their edusat (?) for improving education facilities in remote populations).
Hopefully if they do decide to put someone up they'll have done a good cost benefit on it.

They are quite expensive, it would be good to be able to land them too.
Dont forget "Erlang Programming" http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596518189/. Its been out for a while

analytic and associative thinking and problem solving are not skills you can learn.
And your evidence for this statement is?
Keep the advanced functionality and reliable kernel while incorporating other features and continuuing to go mainstream.
10% still using Netscape? Who'da thought it?
You cannot see after the singularity, that's how it got its name (and all that stuff comes into Charlie's "magic wand" category anyway).

Ah, still ~50 years away then. That's a relief, I thought there had been a breakthrough.
Try the 1920's entries on Eugenics then.
That's not what the military have found. It takes a lot of training to get people to kill other people on the battlefield.

Mine worked, with signal, for the whole morning.
Some of the networks say they reconfigured to prioritise emergency service traffic which adversely affected ordinary users.

Yeah, its so bad that most crime has dropped by thirty percent or so over the last 10 years.

But not different to hard SF where they have been around for decades now.

Talk is cheap, websites are cheap, real estate (in West Texas) is pretty cheap.
Until they start bending tin and launching things they are just another bunch of wannabees.
Nothing To See Here (yet).

He's talking about spaceships, spacestations and Lunar bases and he's talking real money
Actually the combination of Genetic Algorithms (or at least evolutionary computing) and Neural Networks make a really powerful combination.
