Pretty soon you would have a lot of good-looking, athletic types banging sticks on rocks and wearing ill-fitting loincloths, scratching their lice-ridden scalps.
Long ago Robert Heinlein envisoned household robots (see Flexible Frank in "The Door into Summer",) as the 'killer app' in robotics, as opposed to the 'killer bots' the military is developing.
of the article was where BGates promises to leave Microsoft in ten years...
From TFA:
And the 50-year-old Microsoft chairman said he would not remain with the company for ever.
"I think that when someone is 60 years old he should better leave it to someone else to follow trends in technology. But until then there's still a lot to do," he said.
>We are located in Texas...
>Now everyone at my company has a Chicago based phone number and we are claiming to have a Chicago-based office of operation because Vonage gives us a VOIP gateway that allows us to 'fake-it.'
Hi. I'm from the Illinois Department of Revenue. Your taxes are late.
I suspect that a few of the responses to this campaign will have the hapless promoters throwing their hands in front of their eyes, whimpering, "I really didn't need to see that..."
...and here I thought I would find the receipe for that old standby:
Peanut Butter and Bacon Banana Muffins with Crushed Cheetos Topping...
...with a small cup of Mountain Dew as a dipping sauce...
I personally admire the rectitude of normal, unimposing users whose insouciance and anomie natheless inspire the diversion of all that I survey.
Indeed, even if one's raison d'etre were so mundane as implied, there would still be no plantain for composition.
No, that's not my theory... it's NASA's. They have stated that if they lose one more Shuttle they will have too small a fleet to continue flying, and making another (as they did after the Challenger tragedy is not longer cost-effective, as the jigs and patterns no longer exist.

Macromedia releasing...
a next-generation rich Internet application (RIA) development tool code-named Zorn
Hmm... "Zorn." Where have I heard that before?
Didn't "Zorn" mean "utter destruction" in the rabbit-language from Watership Down by Richard Adams?
'Zorn! Zorn!' cried the dreadful squealing voice. 'All dead! O Zorn!'

Grilled cheese sandwich.
mmmm...
so...
That makes the Xbox 360 a girly-box?
Me confused.
Cringely is somewhat more reliable than Dvorak...
but we still need the "pundit deduction" in force here.
I do wonder about the xBox 360 though... can you say, "PC?"

I appreciate all of the responses,and had no realization of LISP's reach.
Reading these this morning reminds me of why I come to Slashdot every day...
Could someone proficient in LISP give me three cogent reasons to learn the language?
Example:
"To enable 911 service, click YES.
Please enter your location below"
Just don't make the default "Off."

Points to the first folks to use:
"StinkPad"
or "Take two and call me in the morning."
Special bonus for references to Moses and Mount Sinai...
>lots of MacOSX code went into the early Windows versions
So Microsoft's innovation was inventing a time machine?
Unbelievable indeed...

It pounds, the drum, the drum, the drum
The tumbril rolls to its slow beat
Condemned and damned besot with rum
the doomed kneels down his doom to meet
His neck will feel the sharpened blade
his sand of life drifts thru the sieve
Fish not in royal ponds or glade
If long you have a wish to live
doom to phishers

Lately it seems that any government entity sees money, it reaches out to grab a slice, whether merited or not.
There was some old saw... "No taxation without representation..." or something like that.
And no, our gerrymandered Tweedledee/dums don't really count.
