an alternative to window smashing and jar breaking jobs would be like what china did: build elegant ghost towns and ghost cities.
that way, society produces something of value (in some future time, at least) and provides jobs as well, albeit, again at the expense of the taxpayer.
I was hoping to right click on the IEBlog link to a feed you gave in hope that I can Add it to my Live Bookmarks in firefox but, alas, there's no such thing.
No, the 'Bookmark this link...' function is not good for XML feeds.
I guess when New Horizons return in 50000yrs. we will have Q's technology already. or we are long extinct and our bones are excavated by intelligent cockroaches for their archeological studies.
I'm not saying GUIs are not useful. In cases where constant feedback is required as your job progresses, such as creative work, GUIs are very good. But they fall down when it comes to "do this, a thousand times" kinds of jobs.
And there lies the beauty of the command-line interface (CLI) of the future. Because, by then with your voice-command CLI, you will just say:
now command: [root@Hal] nmap -p1-65535 thishost
future command: [root@Hal] Hal, make a security scan report on all ports of thishost computer. Do this on all computers on the network.
it is longer to type but you are speaking that to your computer. Of course, for privacy, you might have to type on the keyboard as is.
Just to test that, today I plugged one of my digital cameras
I did this too today with our sony dsc-series camera using rh9. I opened gPhoto but it didnt detect the camera right away when I connected it on the USB port. I change the usb mode on the camera to PtP and gPhoto worked flawlessly.

Here's one to get you started: IEBlog (Atom 0.3).

Maybe this could be a good feature-request,eh?
Or those fish might become philosophical and conclude:
I swim therefore I am.
RoboCop -> RoboCod -> RoboCarp -> RoboCrap
Wow! Evolution in Action!
Don't worry, this is just HAL-5. They still have 8995 versions to go through before it gets really dangerous.
or it may be sooner than you think.
remember Windows jump from Win3.1 to Win95 to Win98 to Win2000!
these companies appears to count arbitrarily.

I think I forgot.
I think he means: Apollo - the sun god
... every computer manufacturer under the sun (including Apollo himself)...
as apparent from this his words:
