Quote from paraphrase: "As seen in this book, bacteria acquire a new taste, which might seem harmless to the average 'Joe', but the author takes one to the megalopolis of London where we soon learn that from one little accident, mankind faces a threat to its future and a sudden return to urban anarchy. Within the 246 pages of the 1971 hardbound is found a new world underground where MUTANT-59 finds refuge and new fuels, much to the horror of those above and below ground as anything plastic begins to disintegrate."
Only then we can decide whether the "enemies" of "GM" have lost "the war". Uhh, what a language (used in the FA).
Of course you are right, I just wanted to draw the attention to the fact
that the Beetle-concept was not unique (besides, the 2CV was much much more fun) than the more "grounded" VW.
And the Duesenberg - wow - I saw the Model J Duesenberg Derham Bodied Tourster at Haynes. Completely different category though.
... unless we manage to "grow" them using processes that we probably won't fully understand...
My hypothesis there is that time for data/information/knowledge to settle into kind of a state of integration with retrieval/inference engines/mechanisms is a crucial factor mostly not taken enough care of (IMHO). Support is given by the fact that the socialization period of humans is so much longer than for all the re of mammals.
I also feel that talking about automatically organizing the world's knowledge in a semantic web is just more of the same hot air that we've been hearing from AI departments for the last few decades.
Totally agreed - understandable though given the correlation of hype and funding. But still, I think that the problem is tractable, maybe with a more holistic and less CS heavy approach - though not soon.
... thinking on a more global scale and decades instead of years, might there be any consequences if a huge part of the globe realizes the possible conclusion that the scope of USPTO patents should be restricted to where they belong?
I'd say that the fastest computers will always be fucking huge.
Make earth the computer - or is it in the end ???
Huge and clustering will then at least take a little while longer:) Hmm, what about wormhole (WoFi) connected planets? This will again lead to an appled Planetport. I digress.
The problem is, you assume that the corporate top layer cares about the details of implementation, when in fact, their world is a world of charts and graphs and executive summaries that don't hit these kinds of points.
Yes. While discussing the charts to be produced for the board of a not so small company carrying the mnemonic of a (famous) line of English sports cars as a part of its name with an assistant to a board member: "And please do the charts as uncomplicated as possible for the gentlemen to understand". Hard to imagine those can even get close to the point where one may eventually consider implications of different ways to implement (whatever has to be implemented).
Airbus, of course, can be forgiven for being one of the first to encounter a problem with this.
No. Research in "Human Problem Solving" (this classic was published the same year that the A300 flew first) and related fields (action slips, cognitive failures) was already on its way and some Psychology would be always good when it comes to HCIs of sort. Not to mention System Theory.
Its more like "will it work at all". After having had 9.0 successfully installed via the net I bought 9.1 professional for an upgrade. It was not even able to detect my monitor which 9.0 (and also gentoo) have no problem with. GIMP and MOZILLA do not work out of the box, in short: it sucked and still does.
I said it earlier and still do: NOVELL will screw Suse.
Actually, I did not own one before and did not really feel the need
to have one, but there is some social pressure on the client side
which one finally has to adapt to.
... especially considering that these things decay rather rapidly. The notebook I bought a fortnight ago already stepped down Euro 199 heading rapidly towards the crap heap.

So you would say it's the main purpose in training Taiji?
The classics say the main purpose in training Taiji is to achieve longevity, which in the Daoist teaching means immortality or the ability to survive after death in your diamond body. The Buddhists talk of enlightenment which means to create a body of light for the same purpose. After death you live on in your energy body one way or another. If your energy body is strengthened and refined through correct effort during your lifetime then the deeper aspects of yourself become independent from the body, immune from death in your crystallised energy body. If you haven't achieved that, then you either gradually fade from all individual existence or return in a body to try again to escape the rounds of life and deaths. This is the truth of life. It is well understood by all real teachers. Other purposes for Taiji are minor ones, created by people in normal life, usually to nurse the body and make it more comfortable, or to attain fighting power and the dubious respect that confers. Unfortunately concentrating on health or self-defence may just make the mind more attached to the body, strengthen the ego and block internal development. loc. cit.
Worth a try even if one just wishes to attain a little more balance. Of course, one perhaps may go for netted immersion.

Lifetime of airbags: 10-15 years. Thus, the first cars (Mercedes offered airbags from 1981) should be in the 2nd update cycle (if the cars still run).
