    I was there too. 10 years later I recall making an identical post as syousef. Then I got laid off from an 80k per year job and the real suffering began. You would believe what you would do when you're hungry.

    Take a real look around you and talk to some 40 year olds to find out whats coming, Listen, and adjust.

    Considering the work he has done to bring astronomy to the previously oblivious ( yes that's the right word ) masses. He should be sainted.

    In America most peoples eyes glaze over if you take a conversation outside TV, Beer or Politics. It's disgusting. The fact that he has done what he has demonstrates a pretty solid will, as most Americans will also fight against anyone that tries to open their eyes or awareness.

    But this is Slashdot, We have all seen this at some point.

    Dewd,

    Grow a backbone and don't candy coat the truth please.

    It's Politic season and this witch hunt is just more grandstanding for votes the same way craigslist is under attack by AG's of various states.

    The only way to hurt these bastards is to vote them from office, and vote away their expensive pensions just for having served a single term.

    So are we coming full circle where the computer is really a base station for the CPU and related hardware found on a motherboard is included in the chip, and plugged in like so many Atari 2400 cartridges?

    That would be neat. Upgrades would only be dependent on having the right docking station then.

    It doesn't apply to this article. The way that one typically breaks a cryptosystem is not by reverse engineering (which is not even meaningful here, given that the algorithm is already completely open), but by finding a clever new way to solve the mathematics underlying the system using less information than the designers of the system had thought was needed.

    So, you're saying 640k should be enough?

  21. Re:Tech is still Tech, yucko! on The 'Net Generation' Isn't · · Score: 1

    The tech learning curve is important as well. Those who grew up with computers in pre-GUI times had a rather steep curve but as a consequence became much more proficient. When the curve became flatter less understanding was required, however more people started using it. So I wonder if the mass adoption of technology compensates for the reduced required depth, i.e. if the first easy steps encouraged more people to take a deeper look at things compared to when you had no choice but to do that.

    This statement would be applicable to the technological curve involved in taking several months of tedious walking to cross the nation in the 1800's compared to hopping in a car and driving nearly the same route in 5 days today.

    " So I wonder if the mass adoption of technology compensates for the reduced required depth, i.e. if the ease of the journey encouraged more people to take a deeper look at the history of travel compared to when you had no choice but to walk every mile. "
