I would estimate that between 50-200 people would be actively involved in this project, and probably shouldn't be thought of as "Large", or even "Larger". Furthur, any US government contract 100 million, in my experience, would never be classified as "Large".
This is simply anti-political sensationalism.
Tell that to Nikolai Tesla.
Intelligence requires growth of the mind; The core of intellectual growth requires creativity. Brute force memorization, while necessary, is nothing without the element of improvisation or creativity. School, at least for me, was mostly memorization of dates, events, figures, etc. Seldom did I see an opportunity to truly engage in my own ideas. Especially between the constant social pressures associated with school. "School" hardly seems a fitting name.
I can show you straight A students who's life became a total tragic wreck.
I can show you a C's & D's student who became a successful & happy adult.
Our current socialized childcare(AKA public school system) with their GPA's & Competitive academics, will one day be viewed in the same light as the medical practice of bleeding out the bad blood: harmful and counterproductive.
I'm sure Murdoch5 would agree that schools too often lack the very core of learning: creativity.
From person to person, reactions to mind altering substances differ greatly, and it is irrelevant to encouraging this admittance of stupidity for "Spurious Thinking". We all do stupid things that can positively impact us, it is our job as humans to establish balance in our life. Widely unenforceable laws, blame assignment, and petty attacks from your peers will always be positively harmful to society, and they need to stop.
Find ways to help those with substance abuse problems, be brave, believe in them, help them succeed in their daily/lifelong battle. Further, leave the rest of the world alone; you cant help it, and it doesn't need 'saving'.
when people use this freedom of expression to provoke/humiliate others' values and beliefs to provoke/humiliate others' values and beliefs, they might protest violently, so please refrain from provoking/humiliating others' values and beliefs who provoke/humiliate others' values and beliefs that might protest violently.
#1 Watson is AMAZING, and it gives me hope
#2 Sadly, He is not alive, and does not "Think"
Having a bunch of neurons and connections doesn't constitute a consciousness; If we were able to virtualize an entire organism, it would certainly make the analysis of a "mind" more convenient.
If you are involved in this kind of research, and found my post to be so offensive that it warranted an adrenaline spiked reply, I'm happy to have challenged you; best of luck!
Watson isn't making new data, he doesn't form any new ideas or concepts; I see no threat to my Software Engineering job.
The only way this might be possible is to accurately virtualize every atom in a living organism, and hope it doesn't freak out when its surrounded by an infinite void... wait a minute?
Thank you, Pieroxy, for nailing that on the head so well. I especially liked how you said GOOD practices, and not BEST; because the last REST implementation I recall working on (starts with "Al" and ends in "Fresco") was about as frustrating as using a sledge hammer to fix a pair of eye glasses.
REST is SOMETIMES a good idea, but NEVER the soul architecture anyone would EVER want to base a host of applications on, nor is it even capable of being that; subsequently, this is why you have never heard anyone compare REST to a robust architecture such as: EJB, Spring, or Rails. Why (thanks again to Pieroxy)? Because REST is ONLY an idea with no official specification.
10 mph? Hardly... You have obviously NOT visited Korea. Those bus drivers are seriously aggressive, they have to be, traffic in Seoul is severely congested, and as competitive as Starcraft.
With a metro population greater that 22 million, I'd say that the residents of Seoul should be very happy to see pollution reducing tech on the streets; however, pedestrians should take extra caution. As bus drivers in Seoul can get really aggressive with the gas/break(reminded me of playing Crazy Taxi), the additional acceleration, and lower noise pollution of an electric drive train imposes an new sub set of risks the general population is not accustom to.
Potential energy storage is a nice clean alternative to batteries. could theoretically be stored in a gravity well (deep hole, heavy object), or using compressor. then allow the energy to be converted gradually at a rate the power lines can handle.
FYI: Assault is not attacking someone, thats battery. Assault is installing fear, the perception of possibly being attacked.
thats why you'll never hear about someone being assaulted in their sleep; attacked, maybe, but not assaulted.
more comparable to a solar system really (T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint, Deathstar/at&t); Android being the sun, carriers the planets. If Google is in the same position with the other carriers as it is with T-Mobile, it has the ultimate authority over the platform; perhaps being able to remove apps remotely isn't the only administrative advantage Google retains? Still, ultimately the carriers that use best practices in terms of interoperability, will effectively be a single force in the android system. We'll see how this massing Linux community manifests; mistakes will be made, lessons will be learned. I for one remain confident that this project will live up to the hype in ways we haven't yet imagined:)

Perhaps population control will be enforced through copyright?
Perhaps electrified zero-g super bubbles could be the first navigational shields? :)
Thanks data connection and free app for syncing my video automatically for me :)

The iPad will now be described as: Magical and Humiliating.
Tolerate Islamist extremists, or one will explode next to you. On second thought...

Ahhh~~~ man! I was gonna post that :(
Its about time!
Oh! this must be what the Masters of the Media-verse had in mind... ROFL XD

You are so dead on, Bus drivers & Taxi cabs in Korea remind me a playing Crazy Taxi, except worse. http://files.playstatic.com/ps3/crazy-taxi-fare-wars/crazytaxifarewars-pspscreenshots70832007-01-04.16-56-57-312.jpg
perhaps for 1 driver, but for the bus, I would expect a bus in Seoul covers more distance than that in 1 day.

This be called a coretex, mr. data, or possibly a cluster-fuck
Perhaps these cats will actually be good listeners... sit fluffy sit!... Sit... Siiiiiiiit... SIT FLUFFY... nope... still the same.
