I always love these jesture articles. It's funny seeing what people say will happen when the finger is given.
I wonder if having one of those operations where the brain is split, left from right, would help users be able to talk on the phone and drive at the same time.:)
There will never be gasoline-powered horseless carriages. Until there are a lot of local retailers stationed at convenient locations and selling gasoline, nobody's going to buy into these "internal combustion" engines for transportation. Of course, along with this problem is the one of how such an infrastructure upgrade will be financed in the first place without a demonstration of existing demand. The only way I can really see this chicken-and-egg problem being overcome is massive government investment in infrastructure upgrades. Sorry, libertarians, but the only solution I see is a massive new power grab by the state. Of course, that's the only solution I ever see to any problem. The problem with the Soviet Union was that the politburo never passed a law saying the economy couldn't collapse. Can I be dictator?
Not very helpful if people cannot afford to buy a new swanky internal-combustion engine car if all their money is going to feed horses.
Horses didn't instantly disappear when cars became available and gas stations didn't magically appear over night one the first car rolled on it's own.
Higher gas prices make it profitable for alternatives to become available.

A new shell scripting language
A new (universal) packaging scheme (would retrofit other OSes)
A true application management system
A new core process management system (No 'init' here...)

When you set out to change this much you're bound to run into frustration. Start small, release often.

Did someone forget to take their Valium today?
What are your reasons for the free market failing? Let gasoline prices jump to $10 a gallon and see how fast things change.

Look into Strattera rather that Ritalin.
