I say, abolish all government, eliminate authority, and move towards local autonomy and direct democracy.
But is not local autonomy and direct democracy a form of government? Is not the elimination of authority also the scraping of protection for those who are injured or in danger of injury who are unable to defend themselves?
which is exactly why other sciences have trouble with the CS degree. it doesn't really seem like science. now Computational Chemistry (or Physics or Applied Math) is a science degree. if what they (the prof.s who you say admit they've "sold out") want is to produce programmers for industry they should call it by another name...perhaps a votech degree.
i would suggest we are too far apart for temporal expressions such as "still there" or "now" to matter...the time differential is path dependent, yes? you'd have to go there for "now" to be expressible, but then you'd not be connected to "now" here...until you returned:=)
reminds me of a recent conversation: my Dept Chairperson (he is an experimentalist) was expressing distain for an intermediate expression in a derivation I was doing, saying, "thats like asking which direction is north when you're standing on the north pole". I replied, "exactly". He said, "so its meaningless, standing on the north pole there is no direction north". I said, "Of course there is! The north pole is an abstraction, a singularity. Standing on the north pole most of your body will be surrounding the point in question. One must then go at right angles to our space-time into the singularity. This way is north"...I pointed to my chest..."when standing on the north pole".
but the "relative to our position on Earth" gets sucked into the SAME point...its the universe thats expanding from a point now in terms of why vaccuum has a finite, non-negative energy density...thats an interesting question!
"acts like boys have always acted" ...then its NOT ADD "It's my experience that Ritalin straps a JATO to your cerebral cortex" ...then you don't have ADD ritalin is an upper, not a downer: the interesting thing is that giving some children uppers allows them to sit still. normal people respond to ritalin as an upper. suggests to me a link to brain chemistry, where the truely ADD kids brain chemistry is different.
also note the difference between a child who WON'T sit still and one who CAN'T focus their attention.

Interesting that Katz defines the epochs in terms of content and use whereas LP defines them solely in terms of the technology. Development of the web browser did indeed bring in the masses, but to continue to focus solely on tech is to ignore the cultural segmentation that does seem to be occuring. I agree that the tech toy(s) is(are) more fun than most people...but the emerging patterns of large masses of people deserves notice and comment.
total freedom is chaos, and total control is death...but somewhere between (closer to chaos) is a point that maximizes a system's capability to evolve. i believe the suggestion is that we are flaming too close to chaos for truly emergent behavior to arise...and i agree:=)
There were a total of 43 correct solutions among 512 total possibilities; the RNA computer found all 43 correct ones and one incorrect one.
are we sure the answer space is 94? reads as though all 43 were found...

so then the next question is: what would be the analog to MPI in the RNA system? could the enzyme be modified "on the fly" due to the shape the result was taking? not as simple as a pH test, i'm sure... am wondering about recursion, too (feed the answer of one test tube in as the input of another...)
...problem is that laws of thermodynamics apply to "closed systems"
Equilibrium thermodynamics refers to closed systems. Nonequilibrium thermodynamics refers to open systems. Entropy still increases, though.
There's a lot of evidence mounting from physics research that the laws of thermodynamics, like newtonian gravity to relativity, are a special case of more gerneal rules.
Whether Statistical Mechanics (theoretical big brother to thermodynamics) will swallow Quantum Mechanics or vice verca is currently a hot topic to those willing to be heretical enough to discuss it. I recommend checking out the Center for Nonlinear Dynamics at UT Austin. http://chaos.ph.utexas.edu/
S curves occur as expansion to fill a niche reaches a limit. The logistics function and its various cousins model firms in economics or predator-prey relationships in ecologies. In terms of "tech singularity"...there are more scientists doing research today than exsisted in our species history from 100 years ago all the way back. S curve vs acceleration...methinks its no S curve.
I don't haul hay or fly through canyons. I'm just a grad physics student, and I really want a PDA that will let my enter definite and indefinte integrals with a stylus. Someone combine Mathematica with a Newton and make me happy, please.

The radio stations include oldies ('40s and '50s), rock and roll ('50s and '60s), and New Music ('60s, '70s, and some '80s). Seems like each station has at most 300 songs in its play list. I never downloaded when I lived where I could hear new music. I buy stuff now that no one locally has heard of (since it doesn't play here). Then they buy it. I'm sure more CDs are being bought, but the local radio station isn't controling what we are exposed to.
In terms of culture: I'm sure I've spendt more time online at Rolling Stone since I've started using Napster than all the rest of my life. Printing out band photos to tape up on the dorm room halls, etc... What needs to be remembered is not just that music labels compete against each other, but they compete against videos, and fishing gear, and bicycle gear, etc...Increased interest in music will lead to increased sales.
This is exactly what I meant by the use of orthoganal methods in my earlier post. Multiple cipher streams don't increase security. Multiple dimensions due.
multiple encryptions won't increase security unless said cipher streams are orthoganal...i.e., stream1 + stream2 = stream3, and stream3 is EXACTLY as strong as stream 1 or stream 2...now if we added a different dimension of complexity, then the strength would increase...

ah but most entry-level positions start with code maintence...not project management. hence the syntax filter.

wasn't it even worse? didn't a single program on a single workstation lockup and take the server down, which took down all the NT servers on the ship?
