I like this article. Gathers a lot of data from many places and comes to an important conclusion - It will be costly.
However, I'm missing an alternative of other solar plants then photovoltaic. They are critical, in the sense that the production of the silicon based photo cells require a lot of energy in the first place. There are alternatives, such as large mirror collectors to create steam and electricity. Don't know how viable they are.
Another conclusion I'm missing is conservation. It is a shame that a country like the US uses 4 times as much energy per head than comparably rich countries in Europe. Don't tell me that is a function of it being the richest country in the world. As far as I can see it is a function of it being one of the most wasteful countries in the world and also one of the richest to buy all those products that turn quickly into waste.
I think we could reasonably assume that half of energy consumption could be reduced and the price tab looks much smaller. I believe it is more realistic to produce products that last longer and save energy and money in the process of making them, than it is to find locations for 1000 coal plants or 2000 coal reactors.
And as mentioned, governmental leadership is needed. Europe reacted to the 70th oil crises by taxing hydrocarbons in a way to make them expensive to consume and to encourage conservation (including many other ways). Since then industry discovered that they can save money by producing more efficiently. In combination with other pollution prevention measures this is even more effective and cost saving. Look at economies like Ireland, or UK that flourished in the past 30 years or Germany that is still a production power house and world class in exporting products, despite its unfavorable demographics. Compare that with the US which does not know how to offset the imports from China.
Conservation must be a part of the answer in the US and even more in aspiring huge economies such as China, India or Brazil.
I think it is the same with comment spam. Have everybody create his/her own strong signature and have her/him sign the comment one supplies. O.K., this weeds out anonymous comments, but I don't care. For ease of use, send a signed e-mail to an auto generated address that does incorporate the article-id.
Signing messages with PGP ensures the message comes from an identifiable person
I can reliably filter on this identity
I can use the signature trust to guide my filter
I make the decision what is spam and what not
I think in all spam filtering algorithms, it is important to stress the last point, because otherwise I'm taking away the freedom to express certain things. "Some persons trash might be my treasure."
Could the spammer create a new key for each message? Yes, he could but it would be quite a computational effort, costs CPU cycles to sign the message and you'd also need to publish your public key so it can be used for verification. In addition the key would be brand new and have no trusted signers.
In the long run I could see the browser incorporate a "sign the message of this field with my signature" feature and we would not need to send an e-mail.
By the way this mechanism is free to everybody. Although commercial entities could buy the signing of their keys from the usual "trusted" entities.
I haven't read all comments of this obviously very popular topic. so forgive me if I'm repeating something here.
You might want to contact Suffolk Univeristy and its administration. To the best of my knowledge they record (on video tape) all lectures and make them available to students. I'm sure they have studied the effects of this on class attendence.
Hi there, I was interested in this as well, as I currently work on making my screencasts as accessible as possible. However, according to my quick test, this "accessible google search" does not favor sites/pages that are Section 508 or W3C compliant.
So who gets it right? The US government or Google? Should we test now for Google ranking instead?
I can't say I'm happy that Google does invent another standard here. I wished they would simply test for what is out there and agreed upon as well as mandated by US and UK governments. It is hard enough to make this happen. We don't need more confusion in this sector.
"Most insightful however is the observation that not one industrial country has so far implemented a similar program for its children, which casts doubt as to what the pedagogical use for notebooks in class really is."
As far as I know, Maine (a US state not a country) has a state funded program to outfit all its pupils with laptops (Apple?).
By the way, we already have tiered Internet service. My ISP does not allow me to invite 200 friends to a party or mail 1000 buddies to let them know of important political developments (like Net Neutrality) - It has a "spam prevention" filter that throttles after 50 e-mails in less than an hour. It also does not allow me to run my own mail server or web server or ftp or any other protocol they can think off.
I'm not sure if Congress can do much about it w/o unacceptable collateral damage. At best I'd expect them to protect consumers by requiring disclosure and stop the false advertising, saying I get "Internet service" if in fact I merely buy web-page access and one way download of other services.
However, let the market get things right. I have $10,000 waiting to buy new stock in Google-ISP (or any other company) that starts a business delivering net neutral Internet service to consumers. Even if I do not benefit from the service area. If we want a better service, we need to provide the capital to compete with the guys that are trying to box us in. Another way is raising the capital for local Telco cooperatives and make sure in your community is competition that delivers net neutral service. Also, all telcos need licensing from the communities (but this whole bill is about to do away with this, isn't it?). So your local town/county governing body would be the one to lobby in order to make sure these licenses do include net-neutrality provisions.
... and the head honchos have forgotten how SAP got successful and big. At least that is what I think, having worked at SAP in the nineties.
SAP is actually (for the most part) an open source company. Given it is not a "free" open source company.
SAP's software has two parts, the core engine (Basis) and Applications. Arguably the "Basis" is not the key to SAP's success, it is the applications. How could they replace more and more parts of the "Basis" with freely available components such as Java.
However SAP does give the source code of its applications to every customer . It also trains and supports every customer (for money) to edit and enhance the source code. I think that constitutes limited open source although not free (public) open source.
Actually SAP benefit(ed) enormously from this model. Because, customers have often enhanced or tweaked SAP's applications on their own cost and so made case studies and implementations free of charge for SAP. Regularly SAP's customers do beg SAP to take these enhancements and add them to the standard. Because, as Mr. Agassi mentions, it is more costly to maintain them over future releases, then to create them. And what is better for a customer then to push its suppliers products into the direction that is important for oneself?
SAP is a good model how opening your source code to your customers can benefit the quality of your product as well as the feature set. It is a cheap way to field test enhancements and communicate with your customer.
Does it sometimes lead to support problems? You bet, but it is still an ingenious way of growing your business.
Want proof? SAP lived and grew for 15 years in Germany and Europe (US was different), without (WITHOUT) a sales force that made cold calls (or marketing that placed magazine ads, etc.). All their business was word of mouth! Just like many free open source projects that have no money for marketing. It also means that not the biggest marketing budget, but the best product is successful.
I guess Mr. Agassi looks only on the problem side.
Hi there,
if anybody hiring suggests to you that a vocational school is just enough, then ask them what their education is? Chances are, they are academically trained. After all 40% of top-tier managers in public companies have a PhD and much more have academic training. Why would that be? In the odd case you find a boss, that has only vocational school, you should ask yourself, how does he/she know the difference?
I'm not here to say people that proclaim these things are dummy's. No, they are simply out for their own interests and not for yours. It is cheaper to have any new hire learn the programming languages and procedures on their own time (= money).
However, it is in your interest to get an education as good as it gets. First, if you know how a programming language is translated into executable commands (compiler building), you'll understand a programming language that is new to you much faster (as mentioned before). If you have implemented some device driver in your OS class, then you'll understand what security levels are and what memory management is and why you need to use resource-locks and mutex and can translate it into your algorithms. If you have studied databases (not just used MySQL in a web application - no pun intended), then you'll understand the difference between queries that work and queries that perform as well as transactional dead-locks and how to avoid them (hopefully).
An academic training does not only pursue particular skills. More importantly, it does train you in the basics of a field. A good academic institution does challenge your intellectual ability up to a certain point (batchler, masters, PhD exist for a reason). I personally profited more from being forced to proof a mathematical theorem, than from learning any of the 20 odd programming languages in my master of CS. It taught me to understand concepts, rather than only procedures. It gave me the ability to challenge my own thinking and to learn new paradigms, because I know that what appears to be truth is merely a/my model of things.
Yes, it is true an academic training does not prepare you for a job. There is much more then skills to a job. You need to learn to follow instructions, social skills and effective communication. You also need to learn dress codes and company procedures. You need to learn to accept impossible dead lines and budgetary constraints and office politics. You will learn sooner or later, that your boss gets the promotion for your brilliant idea, while you are stuck with a non compete agreement and no part in the royalties the company gets for your patented inventions. You better learn how to read and negotiate contracts and to take advantage of company benefits and how to save some money for your future. You also need to learn how to balance work with personal life. That all is not taucht in universities nor is it in vocational schools. However, if you study long enough, you might just learn these things later in life, when it is harder to do so.
The bottom line is if you want to study not just for the next job, but for life, you'll better go for an academic education, assuming you like the studies and can master them. If you ever want to get out of the entry level programmer job, you better have learned more than the OS/language/database/library/paradigm/pattern-set of the last five years. If you don't believe me, ask yourself, which school teaches you the language that is in demand in three years (after you finished the program you are about to start)?
If you want to maximize your job skills, take internships, where you can get familiar with the social world of the work place and try to make as many different internships as possible (small company vs. large corporation, robotics vs. business programming, start-up vs public institution,...). It allows you to get a sense of what you would like to do after the diploma is on your wall.
Good luck!
Hi there, don't know if someone has mentioned that yet. Apologies if it has been discussed already.
My chemistry teacher taught me that water is H2O, two atoms hydrogen and one atom oxygen. When you split it using electricity you get these three atoms. If you burn the hydrogen, you recombine it to water. Meaning you need two atoms hydrogen and on atom oxygen.
Now I wonder how they claim, this apparatus * replenishes Oxygen in the home
As I can't see where the excess oxygen comes from. Especially as it releases water vapor as a by-product and nothing else such as carbon monoxide (which would lead to excess hydrogen) and nitrous oxide (which would also lead to excess hydrogen).
I also don't see how oxygen (which is needed to burn the hydrogen in the first place) can turn the usually colorless (light blue) hydrogen flame into something more colorful and bright. This is one of their explanations on the science behind this.
Is anybody here to contradict my chemistry high school teacher? Could there be anything to their claims?
Hi there,

The most expensive part of IT are ineffective users.
Look at your user support costs. Analyze who is asking which questions, how often. You will likely find that 80% of all requests covers the very same 20% of questions.
Find out what it costs the company in wasted IT costs and wasted user efficiency. Plan how to improve this productivity. The solution could be better end user training, better FAQs, better organization of work, so folks do learn their software in depth insted of dealing with 20 different applications and always making mistaks/having questions. Also make this analysis a factor in the employee performance reviews (be careful, you want to hit those folks asking the same questions again and again, not those that simply do learn new things frequently as their job requires).
By the way, if you are really overworked and understaffed, you might want to relieve your boss of your own salary, by finding a more rewarding job.
K
P.S.: If you are looking for the best FAQs a little money can buy, look at our animated frequently asked questions! Sorry for the shameless self-promotion.
Brazil
Brazil is well known for the bossa nova, string bikinis and Amazon forests. Less well known is that, by many measures, it?s one of the world?s major countries. It ranks fifth in both geographic size and population (180 million people) and has the world?s eighth-largest economy.
All true, but IT resources are scares and College graduates get signing bonuses. Not a good environment for outsourceing right now!

I think this is a typical case of mistaking correlation for cause and effect.
Just because one can find a correlation between software markets, that Microsoft has entered and falling prices, it does by no constitute proof that Microsoft's entry is responsible for the drop in price.
Assume that markets with large audiences, tend to scale well and therefor the economies of scale allow to bring down prices (in combination with competition that is attracted to the huge market). Now think that Microsoft only enters markets where they believe (or see evidence) that the market is really big (in combination with price undercutting tactics [think IE for free?] if they see a thread to their market dominant products). Voila! You have a correlation between markets that Microsoft entered and falling prices. That does not exclude, that the prices would have fallen anyhow.

It is not a solution to all problems, but it works for most types of frequently asked questions about software. According to my research, most "help" is written by computer experts (including tech writers here) for computer experts.

I wonder if PGP and cryptographic keys are the solution to all the spam, whether e-mail spam or comment spam.
As I see it the question comes down to identity, trust and filtering that is identity based. I discussed and explained the use of PGP for solving the E-Mail Spam problem at BarCamp Boston 2006 with quite positive feedback.
I think it is the same with comment spam. Have everybody create his/her own strong signature and have her/him sign the comment one supplies. O.K., this weeds out anonymous comments, but I don't care.
