Hybid vigour is common in the F1, allthough haldane's rule may cause some issues. However we may see hybird breakdown in f2 and subsequent generations.
and move to power pc
1)Viral load makes windows support a nightmare eventually no one wants to pickup the tab for this. Moving to ppc will render all current virii inviable. Xbox n will also have low mareket share so this also helps with viral epidemiology
2)The clones might move to linux therefore it is a game of chicken
3) Dell Hp etc make a huge amount of money out of MS with out MS, Dell etc would still be tinkering in there garages. MS never lets anyone get money they could be getting
4) Soon there may only be dell left in the PC business. This would put MS in a very uncomfortable area especially if then dell abandons the PC business and goes into printers or tv's. We could easily see a situation where no one makes money out of wintel hardware any more and therefore no wants to sell it.
5) Apple has demonstrated the benefits of makeing the whole box in terms of speed and flexibility of design. MS needs to communicate with too many people before making changes this slows it down
6)Too much legacy crap it needs a new slate
In summary windows is dying, long horn may never come. The beast needs to be feed and there is a big market segment that MS needs to be into. That is consumer applicances
only if there is a unversal frame of reference like ether. As ether has been out of fashion for a while I guess your travel in space would depend on the frame of reference used so you may well end up exactly in the same space
viruses are very inefficent. They produce vast numbers in the infected cell but the efficency of infection of even neigbouring cells is pretty low. This is due to a variety of things one of them being the mutation rate is higher. Mutation rate is proportional to genome length (drakes rule) so if you make smaller viruses and there fore more of them the mutation rate goes up so genetic load kills more of them.
Say we have a virus living in a mouse. Each mutation is competing with other mutations of the virus to out grow them in the mouse. There may be mutations of the virus that could grow in human but they are selectively neutral in the mouse so their numbers stay small. So to become in fected the you would have to do something like live on a diet of mouse droppings or share needles with a mouse or inject mouse blood regularly. If you grow mouse cells and human cells together then you increase the probability that a mutant virus that has the ability to grow in human cells will actually come into contact with a human cell. Now if you do that in a chimeric animal you are not only starting with the viral population present in the animal but also you can get infections from other animals of both species. So the gene pool is much larger. When you add recombination between pathogens of both species to this mix. I just don't think it is worth it
genetic engineering has nothing to do with this. If you are looking for precendents look at prion disease (mad cow disease), SARS, perhaps aids and other diseases that have crossed species barriers. The closer and longer the proximity the greater the probability of diseases evolving the ability to survive in another species
Have you been sneased on,been bitten or handled the fecal material waste of these cultures, all these things happen (with live mice). These cultures are usually kept in conditions designed to minimise the passage of infections so I'm not sure it is afair comparison.
It would be interesting to find out if any viruses have crossed the species barrier in the cultures.
the probability of virus/pathogen crossing the species barrier is increased enormously by makeing these things. It is madness and should be internationally outlawed.
cost of the PC and OS. PC's are getting cheaper and cheaper and and so is the OS. The windows platform has the advantage over linux in that it experiences more malware. Therefore there are more opportunities for businesses to make money from support. The support business will soon if not already be worth more than the PC business. Installing PC's will be a no brainer give them away ( they are almost free any way) and charge for endless disinfecting.
So if you have a choice recommend windows machines and sit back and watch the cash roll in
I have writen the same program in AS studio then Realbasic and finally in Cocoa and saw at least a magnitude increase in performance each time and almost a magnitude increase in time taken to write each program. I am still learning to write cocoa so it fairly reasonable to take longer to write. But I am curious as to whether there is a proven inverse relationship between ease of programming and execution speed. It seems that the faster a language the harder it is to program, must this be so
There are two main features of applescript.
1) The english like syntax
2) the ability to control other applications
Of the two the second is by far the most important. But to gether they create a new programming experience. Because most of the complexity is sequestered in the applications you are comtrolling the applescript code tends to be very short. On average I would say my applescripts are about 30 lines with only 5 - 10 lines of working code the rest is error catching and handleing. Because of the syntax it is very easy to read the code moths or years later. Also the having short code helps. BUT the most important thisis tha becasue the code is sort YOU CAN START AGAIN. How much code is kludged because no one wants to rip out and recode 1000 or more lines of code? There is a real benefit in short code that you can read
Applescript is alive and well an dearns me a decent living. One of the main benefits of applescripts syntax is that is it alot easier to read then it is to write because of its english like language. So when you come to look at it six month later its is a lot easier to figure out what it does.
If you apply genetic programming to software and hardware development then we may see the software and hardware breeder. This will be necessary due to genetic load ( you don't want to run microsoft runt office). Breeding or artificial selection is probably the most power full technology we know of and yet so simple.
So I will have a software stud and you can purchase my germplasm to introduce to your stock of office productivity software that you are breeding. This will become necessary to cope with the "emergent properties" of the the complexity that we will have to face. In other words we don't know what will happen we we start yanking on those wires. So we will have to breed purely on the phenotype of the software who cares what language its written in
This machine looks like it was designed to get prices down. The stand looks like it is much cheaper to make than the previous one. Does it detach turning it into a tablet PC? Might it be possible with this or later models to remove the PSU and put in battery pack? This design has more legs in terms of subsidary models and price reductions later that any Imac so far cheers
It would be nice if HP started seling xserves raids etc with osxserver. Not a chance really but HP would make a good partner for Apple if wants to get into the enterprise (if it's worth it)
Running power PC, office for ppc,and Virtual PC for legacy software. The Office box will probably be size of shrink rapped MS office box
That why MS keeps the PPC version of offie upto date.
It has an english like syntax and you can make your scriptable apps to useful stuff.
Con's: can be very frustrating
Pros : can be very rewarding
Plenty of sample code, its free with every mac

should be able to make a cool home built cluster using these. Also why doesm't MS buy these install office and virtual PC and rebrand them as OfficBox
2005 or 206
very high temperatures hybdogen gas nuclear reactors What could possibly go wrong
betweem full time employment and self empluyment is that with full time you only have one client.
Drop it into a subduction zone. It will then be returned to the magma. By the time it comes up again it should have decayed away
