Modelling and code generation tools have reached the point where they actually work. These tools can generate the same cookie-cutter/boiler-plate code as high-level languages. In addition, the tools can handle task and data dissemination/recombination across multiple processor.
I can't speak to other industries, but in the aerospace segment of the embedded market the trend is clear. Future development will be model-driven.
This is the company that hacked their subscriber's computers via Station. They also put a rootkit on millions of audio CDs they pressed. The threat of losing customers hasn't stopped Sony from pissing on them in the past.
I didn't read past the intro initially, until I read your comment. I vaguely remember someone else claiming that there was a correlation in the CMB data with the ecliptic a few years back. A quick search on google brought up some published claims that the correlation exists even in the latest map. If it's a real correlation, that would suggest the CMB isn't a universal background effect, but some effect on the scale of the solar system.
Think about what you have written, what are the practical implications of moving money in and out of a country without using wire transfer? It should be fairly obvious.
"your network isn't the slowest part of your setup."
Yes it is, and probably by a factor of 100 or 1000.
The computer I am writing this on is relatively old and slow, yet the bus between the processor and the RAM has a 6.4Gb/s theoritical throughput. The bus between the video subsystem and RAM approaches 6Gb/s in theory. Though these are theoritical numbers and not acheivable in practice they are still 1000 times faster than the theoritical speed on my internet connection.
The internet is at it's best when the connected machines do as much of the heavy lifting as possible, perferably in firmware.
If he gets a good enough lawyer he will be able to walk away free and clear. The trial can be postponed for years, but since he is a foriegn national I dont know if they would give bail - not sure how that works. So far he sounds crazy enough to go for that, though it might work better if he had drowned some people he thought were aliens in a bathtub.
The more publicity this gets, the uglier it will be for him. If the story gets to much play the DOJ will loose to much face and nothing is more important than face to lawyers working for the authorities. They inveriable have political asperations.
The Fed is going after his assets. Since his wealth was earned from criminal activities, they can go after the estate in criminal proceedings and civil court. They will eventually get most of what isn't consumed by legal fees, the part of that they can find. He probably managed to off-shore tens of millions and 'poor' children will be left to survive on the money hidden in carribean bank accounts.
Some of the basic assumptions you seem to be working from are fairly disturbing to me.
"The reason why americans are driving SUVs is because US goverment is subsidizing personal driving, by not taxing car owners the cost that are associated with using cars."
First of all, you equate "not taxing" with "subsidizing". The US definitely has plenty of corporate welfare programs, but not taxing something is not the same thing as subsidizing it.
"that everybody is in the same line in life and that people try and take risk in their lifes, without worrying ending up in the street."
The possibility of ending up on the streets is not only a good motivator for taking risks, it's a good motivator for making those risks pay off. I disagree with your premious that a welfare system encourages people to take risk; I think it does just the opposite. Social safety nets are a good thing, but life-long entitlement systems destroy cultures and remove the need to strive not only for survival, but personal growth.
I guess it's desirable in your country "that everyone is in the same line". I think people in Europe often think of the US as a European country on another continent. This is not true. The US is very diverse, so diverse racially and culturally that there is no possibility of defining a "same line" for everyone to be in. Being forced to be in the "same line" is the reason most of our ancestors left their old countries to come here. I have no desire to be in the "same line" with everyone else, I desire a system that lets me be all I can be and challenges me to become more than I am.
If Mann is correct, then the coorelation between variation in the average global temperature of the northern hemisphere and the widespread collapse of human civilization is broken.
The temperature anomaly chart in use before the 'hockeystick' chart presented in 2001, has been used to argue that the falling average temperature in the northern hemisphere had contributed to everything from the fall of Anastazi culture, to the onset of the Black Death, to the emergence of the Golden Horde. (I believe that the IPCC presented the chart I am refering to in 1990 to argue that global temperature had wide ranging impact on human society, but I haven't been able to confirm that yet.)
If the chart currently in use by the IPCC is correct, then there probably wasn't a Medeival Warm Period and there probably wasn't a Little Ice Age. If these events did happen, then they were regional - perhaps even local. All of the historical evidence that global temperature has any impact on human civilization is null and void.
It's no longer possible to associate the wide-scale distruptions in human societies that happened in the 13th and 14th centuries with a drop in global temperature of several degrees C. This is encouraging, or atleast less disturbing than the theory that several degrees of temperature leads to the end of civilization as we know it.
Actually the goal is to keep you paying monthly subscriptions indefinitely for a limited amount of content. That is the reason for the grind. Reducing money and item drops rates to a fourth of what you would see in a single player RPG is millions of dollars cheaper than creating four times more content and it keeps people paying four times as long.
To much work: the point of diminishing returns

I think we have hit the point of diminishing returns when it comes to work.
Sure, we are the most productive people in the world and our economy generates wealth like no other, but growth in the cost of health care is outpacing the growth of the economy. The long hours and to little time to relax are pushing us toward a life style that is fundamentally unhealthy. Down the road a decade or so there will be a medical bill to pay and a couple of weeks in the hospital already costs more than most prosperous Americans can make in a life time.
I don't see why you should be concerned with the text editor/IDE the students use to write and test the assignments. Spell out clearly to them what interpreter/virtual machine you will use to test their assignments and make it clear to them that what they turn in is expected to work on those.
Since this is a community college course, many of them may expect to do their assignments on their own personal computers. It's unlikely that they will have unix workstations or linux as an installed operating system on their private machines, unless this is a requirement of the program or the course.
Are they required to do their assignments on computers provided by the college? If not, then the most capable of them will want to do the assignments on their own machines.
It's entirely possible that you will get one or two students that have twice as much experience programming computers as you do and are there to burn corporate training credits and pick up some languages they are not familiar with. They will write the code for the assignments using their tools of choice, no matter how you tell them to do it.

This is basically what we often have to do to get real work done, build our own seperate network of "laboratory assets". We may have one machine connected to the "IT network" just so we have a gateway to the exterior world.
A lot of the reason our engineering services moved away from UNIX is not because we don't like UNIX, but because getting the UNIX admins to do anything was next to impossible. It would take 1 or 2 weeks just to get a daemon process that had died restarted. One day they completely restructed our build directories without even telling us. Account names and passwords just change sometimes and nobody doing the work that brings in money knows how, when or why it happened and it takes a week or two to get them back to what they should be.
As frustrating as the desktop side of the IT department is, it's a lot better than the *NIX side - at least they care who's bringing in the money that pays their salaries.

On a side note, any distruptions in the north atlantic circulation will probably be much milder than previously thought. http://www.nasa.gov/vision/earth/lookingatearth/ab rupt_change.html
