Analyzing some of my SPAM and doing some binary maths about the frequency of substituted and inserted letters, I found hidden messages in about 80% of the mails:
0.3% BUY VIAGRA 2.7% BUY Windows 4.8% xvus apoejfjjea dkkskkd aejjfjeopa suvx (see, it's a palindrome!) 90.2% ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
Even if the Microsoft thingy should support running any guest operating system NOW, they will most likely stop this as soon as they stomped VMware into the ground.
I just can't believe people still jump on this stuff after M$ showed this kind of action on so many occasions.
I'm far from being a scientist. As such, I just don't get why you have to introduce something new to make your models work (for some time), instead of taking what's there already:
- vacuum. I personally can deal with the idea that there's a room with nothing in it
- infinity. When there's nothing there, why should it be in a some sort of container or be limited in any other way (in a geographical sense)?
- suction. We know vacuum sucks. So...if we got a room full of vacuum and, let's say, a popcorn inside it, it will get bigger until it completely fills the room (in theory)
So, if you proposed the universe was "surrounded" by infinite vacuum, and if you know that even a small vacuum can suck 2 horses tightly together (i'm referring to this one vacuum-ball experiment here) you can imagine the tiny bit of gravity would just do nothing to hold the matter from spreading.
No need for Dark Matter / -Energy in this model. What's the reason you can't get around them?
The real question is would we allow them to take over 50% of all jobs?
I would, definitely!
The thing is: I do not need the work.
I need the money. Or even better - the quality of life.
If this robot things leads 100% unemployment, it's just logical everybody would have to get money anyway, from the state for example. Why? No matter what, the products of this work have to be sold, the companies will still need buyers.
To make a long story short, Yeah, I would love to be unemployed, do all the things I want every day of my life and be paid for it.
Let's say you have an idea for some kind of innovation. Say a better type of web browser. You spend 4 years researching the idea, gaining seed capital, and developing the whole browser including your innovation. Meanwhile the damned kiddie just copies your idea and spends 2 months kludging it on to Mozilla.
Some questions:
Why do you spend 4 years in research anyway? Start small and let it evolve, so you additionally have the feedback of your users.
Why didn't you - like the kiddie - build on something that was there? Although you spent your time researching, I think the kid's definitely smarter than you in this point.
Where did you get seed capital without showing proof you will have a product you can earn money with. Software can be copied, we all know that.
If you plan earning for your years of research (still don't understand this), file a patent!
ATI might be the winner for a Wintel-game-machine. If you do professional 3D graphics (possibly on a U*IX system), you need
- fast and big memory - even faster AA to make your customers cry tears of joy - AA, no gaussian blur *g* - support for complex vertex shaders - many texture layers to make things look goood
So my guess is they're more aiming at the professinals, a market which hopefully will soon be growing again.

Why not directly jump at designing a Java processor? SUN's PicoJava architecure is AFAIK publicly available, at least for educational use.
:o)
And as you are at it, you could as well design this as a PCI board to finally speed up Java on the desktop
Ok...I'm a programmer. I look at real world going-ons and try to fit it into another form, called source code.
What's the exact difference to an artist, who looks at different objects and creates a painting of what he sees?
Introducing software patents is like allowing the artist to patent all kinds of motives, even ones he hasn't even drawn yet.
Just my 2 cents

Blowing Microsoft computers up
"Do not try to blow the Microsoft computer up. That is impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth."
"What truth?"
"That there is no Microsoft computer."
