Heh, that's pretty neat. Thanks for the link. This is quite interesting as we can reuse the existing infrastructure to refill our future electrical cars.
I for one... (don't worry, contains serious post)

welcome our electric-car-developing Japanese scientist overlords!
Lame running-gag aside, I think we (as in: everyone except this huge Gallic village across the Atlantic) are heading in the Right(tm) direction. Sure, it's a new technology, but so far every technology has had its benefits and trade-offs. It's purely a design issue.
Once there is an ongoing momentum in the car industry to create VLEV (very-low emission vehicles) like electrically-powered or hyrdrogen-powered cars, we will see improvements in battery-time and chemical composites. And who knows, maybe the computer industry is going to benefit from those technological advancements?
Downside to all this: this will increase our dependance on electric hydro. We're going to need a couple more terawatts (or terajoule?) to keep the common citizen rolling. What if there is a major black-out like two years ago? No traffic due to lack of electric current? (Although quite alot of people seemed to have enjoyed the sereneness and the lootings of big electronics outlets... j/k;)
By the way, the car is ugly as hell. I like Japanese cars (even the old hachi-roku), i.e. the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution or any other Japanese 4WD/AWD vehicle, but this looks like a freaked out American mini-van with 4 axes.
During that time, everyone with a spare nickel and a desire to publish something put out their own rag. They would trade stories, publish letters to each other, have flame wars, etc. I think it must have looked a lot like the blogosphere, with a bit more latency.
1. Debugging - Try and trace a variable every time it is set when the variables are public.
I vividly remember using the "Set breakpoint on access to memory range" in SoftICE. Modern (java) debuggers ought to handle access to variables and break execution when access does happen. Besides that, public variables are bad. Hide your implementation.
2. No loss of Speed - most compilers will optomize your set/get functions if they are inline, so there is no performance penalty (atleast for c++).
There wouldn't be a performance penalty at all if you properly designed your classes. Hide your implementation.
3. Maintainance - Suppose that when data member A is updated, now a count needs to be kept. Using a setter function allows you to change code in one 1 place. Also, suppose a variable type changes from an int to a double. You can still keep around the integer setters/getters for older classes and use new accessor for the new methods for objects that need it.
Hide your implementation. Keeping a count of accesses to a data member can be done privately (sounds kinky;). Again, other object should not poke into other objects blueprints. That's what a well-defined public interface is for.
Running Windows
Not using total security throughout the network.
Allowing Users to download any tool that they want
I will bet that they allow CD/floppy downloads.
Probably allow Outlook (and in an insecure fashion).
Nurses are unique creatures in that they require a four year education and above-average intelligence, but are managed like factory workers.
Heh, that sounds oddly familiar. Here, I replaced one word in your sentence...

which would make mass-produced children's toys perfectly possible.
Yup. Flying cars, 1TB hard-drives, sexy personal digital female assistants (you know, of the human-like kind)... all stuff a grown-up child would like to have as a toy:D
why should I remeber PI to 8 decimial places when I can look it up quicker?
Because it trains your long- and short-term memory. Brain == muscle. If (!workout_muscle) shrink_muscle. Besides that, show me how fast you can look up PI on the web and in the meantime I'll tell you it's 3.14159265:P
That reminds me of the perpetuum mobile principle. Although they claim that all perpetuum mobiles will inherently stop at some point in the future, I believe that I've found the one unstoppable perpetuum mobile:
perpetuum mobile terroris
1. Screw up The Peoples` minds and rights by starting a terrorist attack. 2. See them destroy themselves by underpinning their own decleration of rights and other legal documents. 3. Let them induce anger and negative opinions towards their country by forcing other countries to follow their lead, thus causing world-wide political unease. 4. Profit.

Don't mix up ownership with pirate ship. Huar huar huar... err, yes.

Instant patent violation!
George Carlin descibed this as "the pussification of the white, American male."

What do you call a Beowulf cluster of Beowulf clusters?
/not/ a troll...)
A metawulf? A beocluster? A metacluster? A metabeowulfcluster? Or something different?
