When I used to work as a carpenter, two other carpenters and I could frame out a 3000 square foot house in about 3 days. As you say, the rest took about 3 months.
But did they do it? I don't think it will be trival to implement the rest. They did the easy part the rest is the hard part.
Look! I made a operating sysytem that is better than OSX. The computer will boot to a white screen. I thought about how to do the rest, and it is only trivial to implement.

The House Building Machine
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
The thing about this is that it doesn't really do anything. Building a house is not just building a wall. This is like pouring a concrete wall that only takes two days out of the 90 day process. This machine will have to be setup, fed materials, cleaned, taken down, and transported to the next site. It does absolutely nothing new, it only does it in a more complex way.
Why do I hate April first? If you want to fool someone, do it on another day. I avoid the web on that day because of all the stupid uncreative jokes. Why do people fall for these jokes? It is because people have trust in you. Why do you want to betray someone that has trust in you? I guess I just don't get it anymore.
Me: 40 something would never buy one, don't play games, love tech so I know all about the PSP.
Nephew: 16, has game boy, xbox, Halo addict, has rich parents.
We were watching NCAA basketball game and PSP comercial comes on. He turns to me and asks what the comercial is about. I am shocked that he hasn't heard of it. Give it some time and it will be flying off the shelves.
I never liked pez because I am forced to only use their candy. What if they go out of business, then I would be stuck with a dispenser that couldn't use other candy.
I agree. I have been collecting music on and off for 25 years. Most is on Albums gathering dust. I rebought some of it on cd and have bought some on itunes. I just looked at how many songs I have on my computer and was surprised that I only have 800. I would guess that about half of that could disappear and I would not even miss it.
My kids, preteens, use itunes all the time and they don't have an ipod or a Mac. I like itunes because I save money and time. I save money because I give them an itunes allowance and they can download the latest singles instead of buying a whole CD for one song. I save time because I don't spend time trouble shooting the program for them. After they download songs they rip a CD and use it in any CD player around, in the car, at home, at their friends home,anywhere. Also isn't it possible to use an ipod with any mp3 file.
Summary. I can use itunes without an ipod.
I can use an ipod without buying songs from apple.
I can use neither, with any alternative music store or music player, or better yet buy CD's and play them on my home stereo, which I did long before there were ipods or itunes.
Apple does not control anything that I do. I can use their produces or not use their products. The choice is mine. If an artist decides to release their music only on itunes then that is a poor business choice by that artist.
Separate all of the components to make the house more flexible in the future. Look into the open building concept.

How do you define investment?
Get the system you need to use today. Buying computer equipment for future use is a bad "investment". By the time you want to upgrade the card the rest of the system will be outdated.
This reminds of the time in the early 90's when I was working in Russia and an American Peace Corp worker came to my Hotel Room. All I can remember about the visit was that he kept asking for books to read. The lesson we should all learn from this is to always bring something to read.
A good user interface should allow people to do the job they want to do. I think the interface should be so simple that everyone can use it. I have been designing user interfaces for building energy programs that are so easy to use you don't even have to know anything about buildings or energy to use them. Maybe that is a bad thing? <URL:http://www.archiphysics.com/>
The following rules may be used to combine dB levels of two sources.
When the differnce between two sources is 1 dB or less add 3 dB to the higher level to obtain the total. When the difference is 2 to 3, add 2 dB When the difference is 4 to 8, add 1 dB When the difference is 9 dB or more, ignore the lower source.

How old is the old reliable Russian craft? I bet it has older technology than the shuttle.

And your point is...
Looking back, it seems the UCS was correct. There is global warming, that is a fact. Almost no scientist will deny that fact.
