But at the time you were 17 you only had 12 years of education, and 0 years of real-world application - probably in a cozy small town shoppe.
Now you probably have 17 or 18 or 22 years of education (that you've sunk a small fortune to obtain), and probably 4 years of dragon slaying in a hostile industry. You know more about what you do than your boss - so he can play hardball, but he can't do your job.
Believe me, as long as you never forget the importance of being able to produce you won't find yourself without work. And when the time comes where you feel you can produce better elsewhere, you'll have confidence in your move.
All the jobs I've left I've never looked back on. I was professional about negotiations and respectful when I left and I've done nothing but better work since. That doesn't mean I've never had to eat PB&J for dinner but I've always found better higher paying jobs. And guess what... some of the best nights of sleep I've ever had where when I crashed on someone's rug with a shoe as a pillow. These are the best years of your lives and I believe you can handle anything a dying company can throw at you - and still walk away smiling.
I think perhaps you're mistaken about background task resource usage and/or choice making.
AI progress MSUT be made with a change in the PARADIGM of the way our brain processes/stores/retrieves information, and its use of heuristic models. There will be NO progress until we clear up the ambiguity and double-speak.
I don't know if anyone has a google cache of aination.com, but I had a similar comment back in 2000 in the 'Works' section regarding the works of the MIT press which have recently proved as useful in developing true AI as these robots.

... it just becomes the same as carrying around a laptop bag.
(mod this because it's funny - it's funny cuz it's true)
Now I'm going to need a utility belt with alot of pouches... one for my MP3player, one for my handheld, one for the fold-up keyboard, and one for my extra storage. At least I can set a laptop bag down when I try to take a piss.
What about intellectual property? The patent system makes the explicit distinction that a certain thought (or implimentation) may belong to (or be implimented by) no one else but you.
When that happens, the land grab begins and the resources of intellectuals begins to run dry. When I asked Noam Chomsky about this issue he told me:
" But the problems you pose are very serious, no matter what technology or scientific knowledge we may have in mind. It's certain that powerful institutions will seek to use anything for their own purposes, which are only by accident benign (as Adam Smith also recognized, and emphasized, in passages that are rarely cited). We always have to be alert to this danger, and there is no formula as to how to avert it."
I'm a fan of SD and so I think the postage stamp is a good size to benchmark from. Who-da thunk that a postage stamp would be the solution to all of your photo/music/emulation/daily-planner/boa/SQL/ssh/VN C needs?
ya... our bad. I guess we should rely on what the 3rd world countries think for innovative theory. We should challenge ourselves daily to think more inside the box of pre-existing commonly believed ideas. Then we'de have it all figured out, wouldn't you say?
Side note: These days, creationists are fighting for the same rights evolutionsts fought for to get evolution in public schools (scopes monkey trial). Does anyone else notice the pendulum swinging?
If indeed we have had infinite time, and infinite combinations are irrelivent within a body of matter during that infinite duration, we must admit that not only will evolution happen just by chance 1 time, but an infinite amount of times. Furthermore, it must all come to an end in the middle of the 1960's by way of a random pink elephant an infinite amount of times as well.
But my problem isn't with the elephant, or the odds of that happening (no matter how huge).
Here's the real question: Where did the matter come from, and who the hell is controlling this massive bruteforce matter-based algorithm we call the third dimmension????
Here's a good link. If you get the money, can I PLEASE have half of it? I'm too poor for Outback... and that Microsoft subscription scheme too, while we're at it.
Evolution is a bunch of garbage. Where are they even getting their numbers? So much for scientific rigor. So much for "THEORIES" being treated as such.
Not to mention evolution by mutation is a theory on top of a theory. But I'm sure a reliable crew, one almost as reliable as Microsoft's internal auditors, have thoughtfully looked into this matter before posting their unproven ideas. How much more un-proven do we need to get??? Gimme a break....theoretically yours, Akaina
People spin their findings every day. Believe me, Silicon CAN only go so far. I know it sounds repetative, but it's true.
Here's some numbers for you.
Even Intel has admitted that the limits of conventional transistors are limited to 2.8 microns before things get so small that atoms start interfearing with each other and stuff begins to break down.
Granted we're still a few years off of that. Even so, fabrication line costs go up exponentially as they approach this limit and by the year 2015, fab lines are expected to cost upwards of 100 BILLION dollars.
That's not an exaderation either.
MOLECULAR COMPUTERS are the way to go. Keep your eyes open. Don't be confused with all the other garbage about photonic laser surfaces or chromosome storage or any of that other (to use the words of Richard Feynmen) "Low level boloney".
True control happens when you have individual current/voltage control over a single molecule, which has recently been done. It's called the Nanocell.

OK, not to sound like a Troll, but gimme a break. Quit posting this garbage about nanoscale technology. Crystals aren't even REMOTELY the right way to go. I'm doing work at Rice in collaboration with Yale and a few other major universities.
Whoever keeps posting this stuff needs to be informed.
The net does one thing and one thing only. It accelerates the motivating factors that we're all ruled by. Wheather it's porn, or money, or love of technology, the net accelerates these desires. So it no longer takes a child 25 years to get their knowledge up to par... so what.
The real question is "WHY are we so scared of ourselves?" This whole argument is rediculous.
BTW
We may be in the last society to ever loose knowledge. Have you ever thought about that?!
The Net is neither good nor bad. It's just an acclerated reflection of society.
90% of all books suck badly
damn right... a good friend of mine got mp3's to play on a 40Mhz sparc station using mpg123.
Compare that to the average mp3 software requirements of intel players, which is somewhere around 100Mhz. And even in THAT percentage doesn't do sparcs justice. I think you could play mp3's on something slower than 40mhz. Call me crazy...

Where is Johnny these days?

Dude I agree, but with a twist.
If indeed we have had infinite time, and infinite combinations are irrelivent within a body of matter during that infinite duration, we must admit that not only will evolution happen just by chance 1 time, but an infinite amount of times. Furthermore, it must all come to an end in the middle of the 1960's by way of a random pink elephant an infinite amount of times as well.
