That's an interesting point of view that I have not thought of until now. If modeling a complete human brain, would you not also need to model the chemical imbalances? In other words. Is it possible to be self aware without a specific balance/imbalance? Is chemical interaction also modeled by this new chip?
Religion is uesd in this context for zeaolotry or dogmatism. I for one "feel" there is some of this here. I am on the fence of the truth or extent of our affects on global weather or climatic trends. I do admit I am far below the pay rate of anyone that matters though.
It's Liberals that wish to prevent all casualties or collateral damage, not Conservatives! Isn't that correct? Am I missing something, but wouldn't it be a liberal stance to try this on ourselves before we can use them "SAFELY"?
My $.02 may not be worth that much though.
In my experience, I have a very hard time recalling the names of bands/songs/albums for genre's that I like or have liked in the past. So, the search criteria helps there, not following the crowd that is. But, if you call looking at the top 40 and hearing new and cutting edge songs in order to find new and interesting artists or genres, then, I guess, following the crowd it is.
In my fellow posters words, though, how arrogant..
Have we ever been able to acuratly forecast these things before? I may be a neophyte to political and social sciences, but is it actually relevent to forecast such things?
I only say this because I am sick and tired of the doom and gloom culture! Really, I am...
So, there is some responsibility for our own existance. That is exactly my point. If you can get past the calculated statements to flush out conversation, (is that called trolling?), and see my deeper, more subtle point.
We are responsible for our own survival!
Now, I may seem to be a little circular here, but, I think we need a little more evidence that:
1. Warming will hurt chances for human galactic domination.
2. Warming is even happening.
That's all!
Who's point is it that we minimally impact our planet? Who made us responsible for the entire planet? Isn't it only our responsability to ensure humankind continues for as long as possible? Why does moving inland to have yet another beachfront home in georgia, or ohio have any affect on the survival of humankind?
I wouldn't have a problem with a tiered level of service based on how much one was willing to pay for that service. Isn't it capitolism that embraces this notion? Would your packets riding in a big pipe be worth more to you if your company or shareholders profits depend on it?
I also think that consumers disagreeing, with big enough numbers or backing, would quash this if it wasn't fair over time and with dollars.
Just my ignorant thoughts.
I think what we are waiting for, is something akin to language. You mention that word processors have hardly changed since 84. I say, a radical change in that particular application will not happen, until a radical change in the social need for the written word.
What I mean is, technology in a specific area of application seems to hit a point that further improvements become linier or even flat. This is because of the nature of sorting out the good methods from the superb methods.
Windows and OSX suffer the same fate for now, since the current need for computers is limited to 2 dimensional word processors and spreadsheets etc.
Once there is a need at the corporate or personal level to work in the next media, 3d for instance, and not just gaming, then the fundamental way of doing things will shift and the exponential growth will begin anew.
We see now that it may be possible one day to travel to other stars, but until the NEED to do so is present, then it will not have that exponential growth.
My arguments are tenuous, and a little off the cuff, but I think there may be some truth or meaning in them.
Thanks
Dull little people payed 6 figures for managing dull little people developing dull little business apps netting dull little Trillions of dollars buying cute little Macs!
Not only this, but the persistance, by a person logging the bill, of data in the Wheresgeorge database mimicks the actual contraction of the desease and not the carrier aspect. The parallel's here are interesting.

I imagine they would actually welcome it. Wouldn't it mark precisely the packets that were most usable by these services?
- WHY?

Damn...... didn't work
I personally used the price of a pint of beer as my guide while taking shore leave in the US NAvy!
I recall a certain episode of the documentary "Star Trek, a New Generation" that proves your point!
subsequent legislation to ban the playing of any movies with Leonardo DeCaprio or Shelly Winters has simultaniously been proposed!

Why is giving kids a place to work a bad thing? I sweat all the time and it doesn't hurt me!

TIBCO, according to my readings of "Enterprise Integration Patterns" (Hohpe-Woolf) is more akin to BizTalk and at a much higher level.
