Could happen. After all, they've saved-up countless millions of engineering hours by not having to pay designers to re-think the shape, configuration and style of the original Beetle.
The 911 is some serious evolution of "The People's Car". I'll not Godwinize myself here.
Anyway, learning is really all about repetition and it takes repeating something for approximately 21 days (not every day but repetition dispersed along that time period) to cement something in your brain
when you have a particularly intense class you can get down a lot more information typing than you can with pen and paper.
That depends on how fast you can write and how you organize notes and thoughts. Sure, typing-in stuff is great for later searching but it also makes it easier to "file-and-forget".
Engineers and designers typically still use hardbound "diary"-type books so as to have a hard copy of meeting notes, important info, etc.
As an old fart, 30 years experienced draftsman (a trade that "changed" due to computers, making my artistic ability and talent obsolete) I gotta go with good old writing utensils.
I've evolved and "embrace" CAD technology, but scribbling/doodling on paper is the best way to focus the mind. When I draw I want as little interference as possible between my brain/eyes and my hand.
Could we employ them (possibly zombies) as moderators? Surely they couldn't do a worse job (OTOH, monkeys randomly punching yes/no buttons, on average, might be better).
You think that hundreds of millions of dollars via government grants is something that doesn't inspire a certain degree of corruption? Sheesh. But, for you, I guess it's always all about the big bad corporations, isn't it.
Don't bother with them, they're already convinced that the world is going to explode unless "something is done, like RIGHT NOW".
I think the phenomenon is related to the "Think Globally, Act Locally" mindset, which encourages people to act on an emotional level. It gives a lot of people a sense of empowerment, something that people who have to latch onto beliefs need.
The "saving the world" meme is attractive to those who don't have anything better to do. It's similar to those who think that we have to populate other planets for the benefit of the human race. Apparently, these people are so pissed-off at the current state of the world that they can't see the trees for the forest.
It would be great to be able to beam your molecules across space and then reassemble them. The only problem is that you have to trust your co-worker to operate the transporter. These are the same people who won't add paper to the photocopier or make a new pot of coffee after taking the last drop. I don't think they'll be double-checking the transporter coordinates. They'll be accidentally beaming people into walls, pets, and furniture. People will spend all their time apologizing for having inanimate objects protruding from parts of their bodies.
Slashdot Mirror
for this one?
But still, wouldn't standing on the brakes overcome the engine? I just don't get it.
I'm still not convinced that this latest scare of unintended acceleration is not due to operator error.
The increased complaints may simply be due to hysteria.
Apparently some people are not aware of brakes and when confronted with odd car behaviour, panic.
Maybe people have been conditioned to panic rather than deal with problems.
Summary needs more links that won't be read.
Thank you, comrade, for furthering the goal. Fight the power! We will crush them!
Thank you, Sycraft-fu, for your words of sanity.
Yeah, I thought that was amusing also.
How much you wanna bet that military scientists are not yet evaluating this thing?

Believing in output when input is garbage is the worst computer-related sin.
I think most of us here understand why this is true.
OMG! I remember that one! Why hasn't this been remade with explosions, nekkid boobs and a McGuffin!

Is a super bowl some kind of large toilet?

Maybe I'm weird though.

And when writing IPCC reports I always consult the WWF.
Do you know how air is liquefied and then separated into N2 and O2?

Questioning global warming / climate change is a near sure way to get modded down.
I think you're right. It's also a way to get seriously maligned, fired, ostracized or ignored in certain circles.
Are you aware of PDS, PDMS, SmartPlant?
Are you aware of the concept of deliverables?
Actually, that's not a bad idea for what s/he seems to want to do.
SketchUp's pretty cool as a sort-of CAD program.
