>That is, demand that 70% of the software used in the US be made from American programmers.
Yeah and then I would be paying more for the OS then the computer.
Sorry worked it IT. Many of those people get paid too much more then thier skills dictate. As is evident by someone elsewhere wanting to get paid less for the same task.
You know, this is typical we want think we are better than the rest of the world China. Let them go off on their own and when the rest of the world is using Monopoly Office 2010 and cursing at Clippy who in 2010 accounts for 20% of the MO distribution they will be using their own hacked out version of Government BackDoor Repressive Office 2010 that is equivalent to MO 2005! GBRO's touted features will be a spell checker that removes government "NO-NO" words. Best use of resources is to not reinvent the wheel twice!
This is true! Mark Tilden visits the Telluride workshop each year. This is gathering of Neuromorphics junkie, I being one of them attended one year. He builds robots using a very simple basic building block. Each building block being able to run on its own. The building blocks connect together to form a larger system. He can literally damage the system and it will continue to operate. Each block adapting to the lack of input from its neighboring block. Kinda weird to watch someone rips wires out of the gut of a system and then see the thing adapt to the loss and still move along.
