I wonder how the author thinks we got to the current state of scientific knowledge? Open source is a subset of the sharing of information which got us out of the dark ages.
Excellent point which can be stretched when thinking of (natural) 'language'. We might then even draw the conclusion that 'Open Source' is quite a natural (not to say plain vanilla) phenomenon.

Hmm,... I must have missed that all the fuzziness was taken out of knowledge-processing (and human problem solving).
There are different points of view, depending on political origin or interest. One is that Marinus van der Lubbe is the sole culprit, the other (or perhaps another) is that it was the Nazis (which I myself prefer).
Novell this week began offering SuSE Linux customers some legal protection for using the open-source operating system, the fourth legal umbrella to emerge from a computing industry grappling with legal threats brought by SCO Group.
(after leave into the real world:)...... basically, I disagreed with the argument that healthiness is increasing and just gave one example why I do so.
If one additionally factors in 'mental state' and looks at the fact that depression is becoming quite threatening (among a variety of other mental disorders (e.g.)),
it might become clear that just looking at life expectancy figures is not enough for a thorough assessment of - to be a little broader in scope - 'quality of life'.
Related to the topic: organic agents seem to be closely linked to mental disorders (including depression), and as far as I can judge, little is known about interdependencies (I am a (close) relative of a victim diagnosed as bipolar (after exposure to an organic solvent)).
Milloy noted that despite all the chemicals, the overall U.S. population is living longer and healthier.
I do not know about the U.S., but things are different in Germany.

Overweight & Diabetes in Germany
Due to overweight, obesity and inactive lifestyles, the number of people with diabetes is set to double from five million to 10 million in Germany in the next 10 years, doctors warned at a meeting of the German Society for Internal Medicine in Wiesbaden this week.
Most worrying is the number of young people who are developing type 2 diabetes because of obesity. Unlike type 1 diabetes - an autoimmune disease that usually develops in children or young adults - type 2 diabetes is linked to obesity and lifestyle, and has traditionally been seen in mainly middle-aged and older adults.
[UNQUOTE] ( c.f. here )
... and if we perhaps add in some of this this and of course that that we with a little help of the Dr. Weevil might end in some appropriate means of defense against network intruders.
... hmm, definitely not. Even SIEMENS has a thingy called instabus.
However, this reminds me of the hero in UBIK (the author was honored here) who always had difficulties with his appliances refusing to work as he was chronically out of credit.
The door refused to open. It said, "Five cents, please."
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. "I'll pay you tomorrow," he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked. "What I pay you," he informed it, "is in the nature of a gratuity; I don't have to pay you."
"I think otherwise," the door said. "Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt."
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
"You discover I'm right," the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt's money-gulping door.
"I'll sue you," the door said as the first screw fell out.
The low-level software would have some support for existing computer languages. But users would gain maximum benefit when they generated the low-level code based on the new technical computing language Sun has asked IBM and Cray to help define.
They have to watch for a minute every 20
minutes and it can only delayed by 5 minutes.
Think about the target group that will accept the offer
(which will presumably not buy too many airline tickets online) and assume some clever advertising strategy I guess it might be a good way to programm people (you could do it 'behavioural-context-sensitively' and hit the right spots).
I was on "the world's first maglev train with longstator propulsion (Transrapid 05) licensed for passenger transportation" (pic)
at the International Transportation Exhibition (IVA 79) which had its track just round the corner:)
This is another example how Germans are able to screw up inventions (I am German) - another example is fax-machines.

Besides, it is more economic - even on a large scale - to initially spend more and save in the long run.

I ever since hearing of CMs up to now thought that issues were parallelizing compilers and languages enabling application specific concepts (e.g. "A High-Level, Massively Parallel Programming Environment and Its Realization") Is this so much outdated ?
