Hey man, like does that mean the flower children are back at Haite-Ashbury? can i like get one for my hair ? groovy... Cause i like got to get back to the garden....
This article is woefully short data to back-up their assertion. There is the recent FCC crackdown on "indecency" which has changed the format of several top radio personalities (read Howard Stern) . Satellite radio is also drawing listeners from away from over the air stations. Most radio listening takes place in the car during commuting hours. At work, people listen to cd's MP3's and now Internet radio stations. Why? Because FM/AM signals are blocked by the structure of modern office buildings.Definitely a Saturday story..long on fluff..short on details.
1st Flamebait response.....
Dude..just cuz you can't hook up with anyone don't blame it on us....
1st Troll response......
I'm with you man....we lose more productivity due to soccer mom's in our office...
1st informative response......
What's with \. This was discussed on HACK-A-DAY last week
1st Ask Slashdot OT response.....
I had to evacuate my office yesterday due to some plane flying overhead in some airspace....how would the \. readers track that on their timesheet? Is their one for Star Wars movies too?
I thought the review concerned the book "What The Dormouse Said: How the 60s Counterculture Shaped the Personal Computer Industry" not a blast at the NVA. Please don't link my blast at the "flower children" as a vote of support for that lyin weaselin Robert " i have to make my numbers" McNamara. His only claim to fame was running a car company and you had to be stupid to screw that up with the roarin economy of the 1950's. He should be in prison.
the quote
The '60's "love children" caused an economic bust in the '70's? What kind of bullshit is that? Since when were '60's "flower children" in charge of the US economy?
actually proves my point. They were college students and consumers who spent their time looking at their navels. Fast forward to the early to mid 70's . This next wave of college students (still listening to Jefferson airplane) were buying electronic parts and cobbling together computers that were rocking the shaky foundations of education and industry that the politicians and the protesters were squabbling about. The politicians view of urban renewal was buldozing neighborhoods and putting up hi rise slums was no better then the hippies view of communes. Both were displaced by a bunch of kids hacking "life" and writing assembly code on a 6502. The book is irrelevant. The college kids of the 70's worked on stuff that drove the economy and techniology to where it is today. The 60s college students have no such claim.
When the real history is written , the "love children" of the 60's will be unmasked for what they really are....
they certainly had NOTHING to do with the computer revolution
I would put front porch evangalist and witch doctor Wayne Green before them. At least he published the first issue of Byte MAgazine.
In my humble opinion, these children of the Greatest generation" were handed the keys to the kingdom and they squandered it on self centered destructive behavior. It was up to their younger brothers and sisters to clean up their mess (aka economic bust of the late 70's) .
There are many other articles and books that chronicle the PC revolution. It was and always be a collaboration of some of the most dissimilar personalities who all wanted to have a computer they could call their own.
To see how irrelevant they are , look no further than the recent reception that Jane Fonda received. (not withstanding my aversion to old Janie, The incident at the book signing was despicable ) She is irreleavant to anything today and nothing but a traitor.
( this isn't flamebait but the reaction from someone who witnessed first hand how destructive the attitude of the flower children were)
1) outsource your worry to me, just send me your SS# and I will handle the rest.
2) Wait for Whitey Bulger's autobiography; "How I avoided the FBI for 10 years and lived large in the process"
( Please note: Publishers would like to send him his advance but we just can't seem to find him.. Anyone have his email?)
Whitey hasn't had his identiy stolen (or found) in the last 10 years and the "best" computer minds have been after him!
I tried this and due to the rash of multiple reposts of old \. stories and duplication from HACK-A-DAY site my video screen created created a strong vortex of page reloads and almost sucked me into the monitor
The Professional Organization Of Popcornpoppers has announced a $10,000 reword for the article in the 1954 "Poppers Life" where Orville Redenbacher declares that every tine a kernel pops it doubles in size.
It is not that this article is very well written and shows the high level that trade magazines once achieved or that Dr. Moore correctly predicted the future trends of the electronics industry for the next 40 years or stated a "gut feeling" which legend has never quoted correctly and the mythmakers have turned into a "law".
Hidden in the small print in the bottom left corner is the best career advice I wished I had received but if asked today I will provide to any aspiring engineer (electronic, mechanical or computer sci),p>
"Dr Moore is one of the new breed of electronic engineers SCHOOLED IN THE PHYSICAL SCIENCES rather than in electronics. "

This article could have been written in the late 70's early 80's about any of the hi tech businesses that used to dot the Silicon Valley or Route 128 belt.This looked like the DECs, Teradynes, Western Electric/ LUcent/ATT , Wangs and Prime Computers of the 70s and 80s Circa 1983 I attended an auction preview at a Data General board fab plant. Similar equipment and processes, but DG was dying as was all the other electronic manufacturing capability. Today the same decline is seen in the design part of the business. .
The once vibrant pc board business in New England is as dead as the textile business. Once again the US is facing the results of not investing in the manufacturing base of basic industries. AS the manufacturing base declines so does the support industries and eventually the design jobs.
Engineering as a profession is not as attractive as it was 30 years ago. A recent Wall Street Journal article ( no link) told how today's senior hi-tech executives can't get their own children interested in enrolling in engineering school. So what is the point of this rant? If you are in the engineering profession today your chances of employment are average to good; there is no one coming up behind you but you better stay up to date . For those thinking of entering the profession; You had better love it and get a minimum of a masters degree in your chosen field of study and whatever you do avoid manufacturing and industrial engineering. There are no factories left. They are all gone. .
Science at its best. Their explanation passes the three fingers rule. If a complicated subject can be distilled into a written answer that makes sense and can be covered with three fingers, that is elegance.
However, don't be confused with answers that makes sense after ingesting three fingers of straight ethanol......
Get a copy of the yellow pages....
find an electrician,,,,moonlight on the weekends as an apprentice.....get a journeyman's license, then a masters license.
with the CS and electrical license you can retire when your 55.
i am glad youre school has such good english classes two . teh english teachers are dong thier job good. it is a privages to see such postings. didnt you ever do any homework? i have warm fuzzys for the future. You two?
There is only one Management expert in the Halls of Mount Olympus, from which all others drink from his cup.....
Peter Drucker....
Start with the "Effective Executive" and don't stop until you have read all his books. You might find out that "good" management is a thing of beauty...
Sometimes I wonder about the articles posted here.
It is painfully obvious (at least to me) that headlines such as "Too many ______ is harmful for children"" are becoming too common these days. Too much of anything (yes \. ers even that) is harmful to everyone, children included. But being the geeks that we are and remembering Miss Quinn's 4th grade class dissecting sentences lets try this:
Too many computers; Does this mean too many computers that are running or too many just sitting around doing nothing. I believe it is the former and not the latter. So what are these computers doing?? My guess is they are not writing assembly code for x86 CPU's.... Good bet is using IM, cruising mindless blogs, or any of the other 123^34555 things that you can do to waste time with a computer..
Harmful to children: Does it cause uncontrolled vomiting or keep us from doing what we should be doing, like homework? probably the latter.
Soo Miss Quinn would have us rewrite he sentence; Too much wasting time keeps children from doing their homework " Now having fixed the sentence we turn to her for approval.........
AND SHE GLARES AT US ACROSS THE DECADES OF TIME AND SCREAMS " TELL ME SOMETHING I DON"T ALREADY KNOW"
