Amen!
Users "natural language" have a lot of imbeguities and implied meaning. Programmers have to take what's given them and make the computers do what is said, not implied.
I'm working for a company that does not yet get this concept. We need a designer. The folks upstairs take this as an insult rather than seeing it as a timesaving step.
Let's hope Linux can become viable enough for there to be actual competition with Microsoft.
I find it ironic that a government must stamp it's approval on a product to show it's econimical feasibility.
If they can determine the size differential between the wee little people and the Komodo dragons, maybe we can get a better understanding of how difficult it was for the medieval knights to slay them. Kinda makes you teary eyed doesn't it?
Hey too bad this isn't available in Iraq yet.
once the roomba get's into range of the enemy, all it has to do is suck and blow.
Imagine sandblasting the enemy until the batteries run out!!!
Exactly, Hillary left private industry in order to push a socialistic plan called " Universal Health Care Plan ".
We should stick with the ideology AND switch parties- because none of the neo* leadership on either side are going to promote the general welfare of you and me, only the power of the corporations to enslave everybody else.
This is true the upper echelons of the Republican party do not seem to share in the Libertarian view on government that most who call themselves Republican strive for.
However to be fair, the Democratic parties leadership seems to be pushing to the Socialists viewpoint. Leaving most in the Democratic party to be in the same position that most Republicans find themselves in.
Do we stick with the ideology that got us to where we are and switch parties?
I think you are on to something. I would like to see a study done that shows just what Bush/Kerry supporters think governments role is in our lives.
There are fundamentally two different viewpoints on this.
One being that a governments sole purpose is to protect the rights of it's citizens.
The other is that the government is to take on a much broader role in everyday life and govern it's citizens rights.
Those are two different universes.
Oh great, let's all just walk around with targets painted on us if we leave the country.
Or better yet get out the ole "F@!# you I'm from the USA!" T-shirts and wear them.
Instead of marking our passports put them on the passports of folks coming into our country. Student visa's, terrorists maybe.

I'd have to say good ole' greed based, capitalism at it's fines Monopoly.
I had been looking through this book just the other day. Glad to see a review.
For Microsoft to spend so much energy to show the benefits of their OS vs Linux, is there something else going on?
will the vibration go through the water as well? Will dolphins be able to pick up da' funk with us?
Let's hope Linux can become viable enough for there to be actual competition with Microsoft. I find it ironic that a government must stamp it's approval on a product to show it's econimical feasibility.
Or does this mean that Microsoft has matured into an efficient product line that governments are starting to notice to much work getting done?
