As I posted in javalobby there is no intrinsic reason you can't write a native implementation of the Swing api. So you get a proven cross platform api and a real native look and feel.
Problem solved.
We currently use a lot of Dell computers. Dell has refused to support linux by providing open hardware specs for drivers. IBM has commited to supporting linux. So dude your not getting a Dell at my company. The IBM laptops are a lot better IMHO.
This even means IBM for the Windows boxes since it's one support contract. Although we use a lot of Linux any company with a reasonable linux installed base is probably goining to swing ALL there boxes to a vendor that supports linux.
At a business level IBM is like a lot of other companies. So once they do it for themselves they will be in a prime position to resale the experience to there own customers. Not only do they get Linux for free but they stand to make a lot of money off this.
I think your half right here. The real long term solution is that most american software companies will have Indian/Other offices overseas with movement of the managerial and tech leads between offices as needed to ensure product quality and experience transfer. This is going to effect entry level programmers in the US a lot but they will just have to join the ranks of the rest of professionals where a masters and eventally a PhD is required to get a job in the US.
So the end effect in the US is people that want to be programmers stay in school a bit longer. BFD.
I was at Utah State and walked out of the Chemistry lab late at night to see someone had painted a line strait line across the sky. It's pretty freaky. But everyone else seemed to be acting normal so I went along with. Move along.. Just don't look up... Just don't look up... act normal...
Your in for a treat.
Since education solves so many problem's concentration on education is not a good argument.
Next since he mentions specialized skills there is also a huge retraining problem even for "educated" workers as the technology shifts.
Finally I think most people looking at nano-tech miss the most important factor. With it "intelligent" computers are possible. The impact of intelligent machines must be included in any analysis and probably represent and even bigger "shift" than nanotech itself.
On that note there is no reason for the training of the human brain to remain stuck in methods developed thousands of years ago. Agian with nanotech and smart computers there is no reason we could not "upload" new skills as needed.
Forget about nanotech think about the impact smart machines and programmable humans. Nanotech is just enabling technology.
Moores law will eventually come to and end.
If you don't believe it how come our brains are the size they are. The paper is right there is a real physical limit using chemistry. The next step beyond to say subatomic particles is a huge huge leap.
What a lot of people missed is it looks like we will have "human" brain size and capable computers near 2020...
Think about that.
More important for java is the fact that you don't use all 64 bits of a pointer for addressing allowing a number of bits to be set aside in pointers for intresting fast gc hacks.
Chemistry
We do huge amounts of nanotech every day its the core of the modern world. I think most people don't realize that nanotech is more and extension of extremely well known chemical physics than and reduction in traditional manufacturing processes.
The biggest difference between nanotech and chemsitry thats done every day is nanotech is about spatial specific reactions in a homogenous enviroment.
In other words given a bunch of reactive molecules we would like to react the ones located at some coordinates. This means introducing some way to control the spatial extent of a reaction. The reactions themselves are fairly well understood. Spatial control is the big deal.
I see two complementry approaches. Molecular masks
which make the reaction take place in a nonhomogenous enviroment and protein like site sepicific catalysts. Molecular masks can be created at the juncture of two larger structures.
For example you can grow two lines in silicon and lay down molecules in the furrow between the lines. The lines themselves may be large but the distance between the two could be on the nanometer scale. This mask then acts as and attachment point for the catalytic reactors.
Finally the resulting reacted mask can itself be more complex masks/catalytic rectors.
Viola nanotech.
Think about how much mass and and the speed you need to throw it out to get 1 G acceleration. Plus you max out at twice the speed of the propellent.
It aint that easy
I noticed the letter contained the bulk of it arguments in a URL I think this will prevent most lawmakers from reading it since they generally don't
use computers and have there email printed out.
I've worked lived in both Vietnam and China working with local programmers there is a real synergy that can be achieved between talent and American experience overseas. I suspect that many companies will realize this and ask for American programmers to move overseas to work in the development teams. The increase in productivity is massive.
This means in the long term that more American professional in the IT industry will be asked to take long term overseas assingments.
This may sound a bit wacked but here it goes.
For a lot of uses I'd like to not mount a file system but instead access the block device from a single user level process via custom syscalls any sugestions on how to do this in 2.6 plus what is the best file system to use. I tend towards ext3 but a simple BSD filesystem may be a better answer.
If you don't mount the root file system then a embedded linux is hack proof.
The open source movement is finally allowing the computer industry to build a shared pool of intelectual property which can be used to build new and innovate solutions. This has happened in the past in other industries for example the Chemical industry were the trade secrets of yesterday are the textbook examples of today. I think a law that allowed software to be declared "public domain" and forever protected from lawsuits/patents etc etc would be a good thing sort of like a reverse patent. It would allow the computer industry to finally join the rest of the world industries based on a shared core set of technologies.
Maybe this new fork could support java2d much better than the current X server.
How about the water shift reaction and C02 hydrate
on
Gas Goes Solid
·
· Score: 1
Intresting I wonder how well the hydrates can be used as source for the well know water shift reaction which can produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. It would be trivial to heat the hydrate in a closed reactor to get the pressures needed. You probably need to inject some extra hydrogen but this could be from a small hydride or the cool glass ball
storage method. Also note CO2 forms hydrate to
so the excess water can be used to sequester the C02 for later transformation back to methane.
So the water present in the methane hydrate can be used to for C02 hydrates with hydrogen as the by product.
Methane hydrate -> H2 + C02(Hydrate)

Maybe Keith would be more amendable to moving the drives below SDL. XML config files and a JVM embedded into X11. I'd love to see a X project that supported new ideas. XFree is not the place to even try experimenting.

Maybe the Universities and goverments that use the Hubble can take over management of it. Nasa should give them a shot.
Or better Boston to New York.

This is just plain wrong. It depends on the OS/chipset. It's quit doable the chipsets are multi-channel unless there so buggy that its broken.

This would solve all there problems and they can drop the the stupid lawsuit
A beowulf cluster of these babies : )
Thats easy make the plugin API for the browser
features open and allow VAR's and hardware resellers to pick the browser which best meets there needs.
Next question ?
