  1. Re:Don't all move to this! on Distributed Computing Attacking SARS · · Score: 1

    I'm very happy that they can take SARS very seriously. Since the technology advances so rapidly during last century, I don't think the comparison of different diseases in time is appropriated. One thing that is worth to note is that we are living in peace for long time after world war 2, and the new generation of human being is different than the old generation. Most of them live in a peaceful and safe country. We are more cautious about life and we don't want to repeat what was happened in the past. No one will like to wait SARS to kill 40% of population before starting to do something. I think that in these days, human takes life much more serious than the old days and of course, we will do anything to stop the spread of the virus. If money can help to eliminate this virus, then I think it is worthy and people are doing the right thing.
    In addition, SARS not only kill people, it kills the world economy. People go out less, spend less, economy slows down, there is a chain of bad effects coming if we don't act quick. If the country's econ dies, the country dies. So SARS affects human in many ways. I hope that it will be eliminated soon.

  2. Re:I'd have read it but... on Linus Is A Hero · · Score: 1

    It is all about choosing the right tool for the right application. Using the wrong tool to implement an application will certainly lead to failure. It is the responsibility of a developer to understand what tools are good for certain application. Flash has its own target customers. It certainly open the door for many other differnt kind of applications that weren't possible in the past. That's also the reason why there are many different programming languages existed these days.

  3. Bluetooth instead of WI-FI? on The PC Display has Left the Building · · Score: 1

    Should they use Bluetooth as communication protocol rather than WI-FI? Otherwise, what is the point of having bluetooth in the market? I always thought that the existence of bluetooth is to connect several devices together without wires... So now, they try to replace WI-FI with bluetooth??
