"Bullshit. It was bankrupting the Soviet thru SDI threats, building out Pershing and Trident, and the Pope's visit to Solidarity that catalyzed the end of the cold war."
Ahhh... The TV coverage famous people get when they die can really give people some valuable insight;)
It also pays for free health care, free education on all levels, social services, excellent public transports etc. Think its safe to say only a small portion has gone into digital infrastructure. Its a question of political will nothing more.
-"Please download my DC client."
-"Whats it for?"
-"Something good... err... cancer research, finding E.T. You know. Just download and run it! Geeze..."
Ooops did that... But the cat is more into destroying our walls and my girlfriend lets me have a lot of keyboard time. In return I do the dishes and sometimes watch girly movies about relationships or british actors in silly clothes:)
Would be nice with some comments and screenshots showing whats new. I really couldnt tell any difference from the previous releases (could have tried hrder but I m lazy:) Also that theme muust be the most ugly one they could have choosen...
Perhaps most are in it for the fun of it anyways. During the golden years the founder of one of the most successful startups here in Sweden said that once your employees get wealthy enough they will stop caring about the money and care more about where they can do the most interesting work. If it that benefits Google or not I have no idea:)
I use a Slackware base + darwinports. Pkgsrc would work to I guess but since I use Mac OS X as well it feels nice to get my apps from one source. Only just beginning to explore this but it feels good so far.
"Thus far, the only thing China is really good at is copying and making things very cheap. I really don't think they innovate, because there is seems to be no incentive to do so."
I think thats wrong. US share of published scientific work has decreased and the biggest explaination is a surge of scientific work from China. You dont put a man in orbit for instance just by copying. My guess is that a lot of the Nobel Prizes will go to China in 20 years. Sure they copy a lot too but building a industry copying consumer electronics together with progress in research will spin of much greater things.
I think that for every different programming paradigm you push into your head you become a better programmer. When I started my CS studies we learned Java as a first language but also made a brief encounter with Haskell. Our professor wanted to show us that computer programming is more profound then any certain languge. Made a big impact on me. Next semester we used assembly and C and got a feeling of the low level stuff and that also was very useful.
You guys should try out Unknown! It rocks! I've been running it on my Unknown Unix System for about a month and I'm very pleased with it's performance. Best part, absolutely NO EXPLOITS!
Journalist seem to drop this story. Perhaps it's boring, hard and without public interest. I would say it's very important for the average consumer. Watched the news today and I would easily rank this among the top five stories today... But I guess my own priorities are different then the medias.
This made me angry enough to send an E-mail to four MEPs and our swedish minister of justice Thomas Bodström. I also tipped a major news paper. Hope you all do the same.

I want to replace the PC with a small embedded device with a couple of CCDs for stereo vison. My robot would kick your robots ass:)

Forget viruses/bugs, how about cancer? Say these things should build an antenna but a few of them go crazy.

I agree. Critical thinking is always good. Instead of buying those stickers they should have sponsored a course in general critical thinking;)
We'll help you unless you get in trouble

http://www.lib.byu.edu/~rdh/wwi/1918p/mesopo.html Spy satellites are handy but the current intelligence failure is of human and not technological nature.
Wasn't this why MULTICS was developed? Computing power as an utility service.

Have Slackware. Have Fluxbox. Got to check out that ROX-Filer thing then I guess:)
Love when people don't get irony:)
Correction: Swedish Space Corporation was the main contractor but SAAB Aerospace was involved I think.
