Must have had his fingers crossed behind his back at the time. Still, it made me laugh.

There is another side to doing that; When something looks human, we are more likely to attribute human like qualities to its action. Anthropomorphism. Works with animals too, ie Aibo.
MIT were doing some great work on this, and social computing, at the MIT Media lab in Dublin before it was shut down. I was lucky enough to see some of their ideas in action.
Real shame to see them go, I hope the work gets picked up elsewhere.

Thanks for the tip. This is definately a book I'm going to buy.
>Processing everything server side, and printing out just plain old HTML formatted result to a client pc, thus bypassing all overzealous anti-virus, privacy, anti-spyware and security software and any limitation the client pc has, is the surest thing to do, dont you think ?
What I like about AJAX is the possiblility for improving content served up by small embedded systems. I have a simple web server on a piece of telco exchange equipment ( running threadX + interniche tcp/ip & webserver ) that can just about manage serving up html and javascript. Pushing the processing down to the client PC is idea; I only have 1MB storage for code + filesystem on a 25MHz CPU. House rules dictate I may not use java, so ajax seems ideal.
While enabling the car ( or should I say, irresponsible driver ) to turn corners faster, does it also enable the car to stop hitting the pedestrian crossing the road round the corner? Maybe we should be delveloping that software *first*, and then the 'drive more irresponsibly' later?

No.

The judgement opens up the option for his extradition.
The decision is now with our Home Secretary.

Well said. Nice to see a post without the usual hypocracy. I guess you are in minority
Security Advisor: "Hackers got into our computers again sir"
Bush: "Damm it! Where did they get the technology to break our secret codes?"
Security Advisor: "Actually, we left the systems wide open. Our IT specialists are too lazy to set passwords"
Bush: "So how do we stop these sly foreign devils?"
Security Advisor: "Lets just grab one and stick him in jail for life. No one at home will care. It might put the rest off"
Bush: "Or we could train our guys to use password?"
Security Advisor: "You'r talking nonsense again, sir"
Like with asynchronous processors, maybe its downside will be the silicon area required to implement it.
Other techniques like multiple independant clock areas that can be shut down when not in use seem far more beneficial, IMHO.

Wow. So they charge big bucks an hour, and we get a shiny xbox!
What idiot accepted this article?

Well, what do you expect from some more used to selling cheap suits?
Read my comment, stupid. The word 'corner' was involved.
People like you shouldn't be given licences
