    If i were microsoft (shudder) I wouldn.t have it call home right away. I'd try to be clever enough to have it send me this stuff at a time when a connection to allyourbasebelongtous.microsoft.com would not be obvious.

    I think you are wrong btw, (reading your post to be a rhetoric argument against the topic) this subject already has sufficiently nerdish answers... it was worth home page time.

  5. so you are leaning on the strength of the human on Metaverse the Next Big Thing? · · Score: 1

    and how it's wired- as opposed to the strength of the machine-- where the strengths of the machine and their application can overpower any fractional improvement of using a system tailored to my 3-d perceptions.

    option 1- use a fuzzy skillset of mine to have an 'idea' of where something is
    option 2- use a precise and complete strength of the machine (bit by bit searches)

    I can likely use a 3d imagery as you suggest- to poke around where I left something (i think)
    using my strengths and a 3d model

    or I can arrange to have search the ENTIRE FREAKING HOUSE every time I want to look for something, and do something else in the meanwhile.

    At work- I have a great duplex scanner, it ROCKS, it cost more than I wanted to spend at the time, but it converts everything to pdf- scanned for ocr...

    now, if I want to, I can open windows search, set it to my 'scanned' folders and type in 769.45 (look inside the file)

    it'll take 5 minutes to search all 6 gb of records for 2006.

    But I'll get every document that has that figure- an delivery slip for some products, an invoice for those items to be paid, and a copy of the bank statement where it was paid...

    and I can do something else for five minutes, something the computer can not do.
