robots next dominant consumer computer paradigm?

Robots!

looks like the time is on the horizon when instead of lugging around laptops and mobile phones our prinary computer will walk loyally behind us all day. Stick a touchscreen in its belly and browse the internet fullscreen on the train - of course you'll have to pay for 2 seats (holy cow - imagine the i,pact on trafic cogestion if bums on seats had to double). Overall what with robots and the new tech i'm developing the next decade is gonna be an interesting period to be alive:^)
Micrsoft engineers taught me everything i know about secure programming. Those guys really know their stuff and the new things coming out of redmond kinda just makes you want to just drop everything and clone/reimplement it for linux (which IMNSHO is starting to look like a 60's throwback).
If they want to brainwash^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hteach kids for free thats got to be good thing yes:^)
actually i agree with you, parent post was just a joke:^)
i keep coming back to java and its just getting better and better, CPUs are at the point where the VM hit is negligible and java is looking really mature, with tremendous enterprise buy-in and a huge open source community (jboss,appache,elipse,netbeans,jedit plugins etc.) also those java phones look like a lot of fun to program for...
BTW ever wondered what Miguel de Icaza's favourite java game is? its here:
By the way,.Net is not platform-agnostic, but Mono and DotGNU promise to provide some of the.Net framework. About half the developers surveyed said they will adopt Mono or DotGNU if they are successful. Only a small portion of developers object to the idea of Mono and DotGNU enough to refuse to use it, so the vast majority do not have a strong philosophical objection to.Net (yet another confirmation that we're not talking about zealots). It is revealing, however, that only about 17% of the developers currently use.Net, and almost twice that amount use Sun ONE. This suggests they simply do not want to use.Net itself, or that it is not compelling enough to justify the price tag or to stick with Windows
i don't want to be seen to be blowing smoke up my own ass here but i seriously think you misunderstand the imapct the use of mono on linux bsd and OSX will have on the market. A decade from now everyone will write to the.NET platform - Windows32 and KDE/trolltech will be like a long forgotten bad dream.
i passionately advocate mono and gtk# as the only way linux can survive as windows adapts to compete with the open-source business model. Without me all those swelling ranks of.NET developers (developers,developers) will be lost forever to the linux cause so i'm not going to apologise for being a future hero to a generation of coders:^)
I think the problem is that if microsoft don't adopt opteron then AMD will not get the volumes needed to substantially undercut the price of itanium - if it isn't highly price/performance competitive with intel/sparc then your average linux shops simply won't adopt it.
So once again microsoft have the power to crush a fantastic new technology before it even gets off the ground.
like a weight looming overhead - have to say i know that feeling:^)
sorry if this is going offtopic. but reading about this reminded me of a paper I read a few years back... It was about a computer program that parsed the full text of shakespears lifes work and then could predict the probability that a play or part of a play was infact not written by shakespeare. The program was used to independantly prove a hypothisis long held by scholars about some of the sonnets. Can't seem to find this interesting topic anyware on google - anyone remember it?
Probably the tech was bought up by the CIA and classified - could be being used to verify identities of known persons in transcripts of discussions intelligence intercepts in bagdad right now.
cheers. I am campaining to raise awareness of patent issues in OSS especially the growing problem of naivity when developers knowingly and flagrently violate patents hoping the holders will be perturbed from legal action by threat of a wave of negative PR. hence the name (and as you observed I went to some effort to make sure you could easily see the hoax) miguel....
i'd only briefly read about this project before, but just skipping over the links in the article and thinking to myself it would be surprising if these guys could pull a technology like this off without running into a patent problem or two -- anyone know?
certainly ogg to me is a file format/stream protocol that is treading on corporate egg shells:^)
don't port ever again people! write to a common application layer like.NET/mono. mono runs on the mac/bsd today! all your.NET games should run across linux/gtk#, OSX and microsoft operating systems (not including Windows 95 or earlier - and 98 and ME implementations are a bit buggy frankly - but otherwise you're OK to roll). microsoft is my friend;^)
check out the work we've been doing with MS XML. This stuff isn't intended to be read by humans - jesus I was working on transforming an office 2003 document last night and it was really hard work - but worth it! Just the other day I was told that the next version of direct3D will have an XML compatability layer to enable it to be used as a web-service or wrapped up in a.NET program that mono over gtk# could run -how cool is that. Christ I want my next bread-toater to support XML even;^)
All this fantastic technology - and yet here i am using mozilla with linux all fully apt-get upgaded to testing, everything uber-optomised and configured , all is good, smooth and aliased...
BUT my itallic fonts when on slashdot still look fucking shit by default!
And don't try and tell me how to set my desktop up properly - check me out: I AM THE 'KIN DESKTOP (all your desktops are belong to me now):^)

LOL. i hope you feel like an idiot or at least a bit foolish when you read this - because you are
java/linux will probably win - watch the phones thats the future of computing:^)

oh wait...
fuck it i am a troll
we should be friends :^)
theres no linux version of dirtbike on that page, so i can't play it with gnome right now sorry mr AC.
:^)
OTOH That cheeky little java version i told you about works great and its free.
Christ I love Java
i don't need to hide behind AC or false names... oh wait...
moderators for christs sake this isn't intersting! its either funny or a troll

so your real name is dolphinuser? or is that just a crazy aquatic sexual thing? you will go to nail (thats a jail reimplemented in .NET BTW)
:^)
hmmmm
I am doing this as a parody for a couple of days only - its funny - i already have a fan! - laugh
look my smile has a pointy nose so my ruse is clear
"Or am I missing something?"
:^)
yeah its called a fucking clue!
I AM BECOME DESKTOP!
features Chihiro interacting with a monkey called mono. great cartoon :^)
we are gnome royalty muthafucker!
;^)
all your DESKTOPS ARE BELONG TO ME NOW!
w00t
i believe there is a java quake implementation done in-house by ID and performance is good
ALL YOUR DESKTOPS ARE BELONG TO ME NOW
eh... going offtopic here sorry (well games are ontopic aren't they?)
ever wondered what Miguel de Icaza's favourite Java game proboably is? check it out - the physics model in this motorbike game is just superb
twas a humble joke....
insightful? mod.smokes($3crack)

eh... it should be pretty claer that i'm not really miguel, just a joker making a point.
:)
personally i think miguel and his mono cohorts are woefully naive
