Is anyone else having images of the same idiot that eats a borrito while talking on his cellphone while looking at a map while driving using this behind the wheel?
You know its too bad that programmers are endangered, luckily they have mostly evolved into software engineers. Its just too bad we can't pick which jobs are endangered, I think we could afford to have lawyers a little more endangered.
But please don't let them be come endangered by evolving, I can't imagine what a lawyer evolves into but it probably has fangs.
I don't see the problem with F. A. Q. instead of the common "fack" pronunciation. For those who don't mind actually using there mouth with a little dexterity it is just as easy and much less likely to be confused with "fact." Having had the chance to work with a large range of computer literacy (ie. no experience to far outstripping me) I find that sometimes you just have to spell it out!
A truly valid point. I should have been a little more emphatic about the fact that I thought the $50 million really only gets peoples attention and that a long term plausable INCOME is where the real motivation is.
I really do think that the $ being offered would have been better spent on people developing $ making space industry.
That kind of cash is going to get a response. Though a one time $ prize will probably be slower than a $ stream. If someone finds a reason to go into orbit that they will have $ flow from - it won't take long at all.
I'd say someone needs to offer a prize for finding a way to make orbital and space travel pay!
Someone here on/. should be able to come up with something for that!;)
As a compulsive DIYer in non-computer areas I would agree that the more we get involved in doing and trying to do things for ourselves the more products/instruments/impliments/machines evolve. An example I love is farm machinery. It is an ever evolving set, with complaints AND solutions being logged by farmers to John Deere, International, CAT, etc, and those companies responding with solutions or expansions on the solutions offered by the farmers who use the equipment. I too hope that the full range of things we use will again be exposed to this kind of progressive DIY solutions.
I'm afraid that I did a little dance when I read that yet another company would be taking a bite out of M$'s web browser market. I guess that shows how much I cheer for the "underdog."

Ahhh finally, I can take my entertainment to the toilet, good thing too, I was running out of excuses to sit there until my legs fell asleep.
