I heard that someone named Harry Kahne in 60s or 70s did a literal multitasking. Does this mean that, with practice, you can push the limit up to 4 or 5(I'm not sure how many he insisted)?
On second thought, I guess you can with practice anyway..
Suppose we have a interface, just a connector, nothing more, nothing less.
Can't we just connect a memory chip or some artificial network whatever and see how the brain cope with those? (ignoring whether there's such a connector or not. oh and any ethical problem put aside also)
Recently (I don't quite remember when) there was an SSN related forgery (I don't know the details) in Korea because the actual transaction was taking place on the client side. I guess this is the reason they do alomost everything on the server side. well my 2 cents.
oh i just found it

What I see as your point is "MS should drop the legacy support to progress." But can it be even possible with all those games and applications from the old days? I don't know about Apple, but I really hope there'll be a legacy support as long as I want to run my favorites and i'm sure there are others who will agree with me(lots of them i hope).
Nights, Guardian heroes definitely. and what about Xenogears? (xenosaga is to xenogears as chrono cross is to chrono trigger i guess) I believe Square/Enix is so tight on budget they make FF series only. How sad.
I've been thinking setting up windmills or solar cell panels or whatever comes to my mind (to play with). But decided that I would settle for the power strip that shuts itself down when the devices connected to it consume power below certain level(preferably adjustable).
Now I've seen some companies make/sell them, but are there any DIY circuit schematics? (sadly I'm not an electronics expert) If that tiny power consumption bothers this could be a handy solution I think.
I heard that his father had quit his job so that he could help his son studying (or whatever). I don't know but it seems he isn't a total publicity whore after all. Good for him? That I'm not sure. (If there's nothing I can do to protect the kid, at least I can hope his family get some money)
One more example.

There's a butterfly named "Deudorix eagon" after the company named "Eagon" http://www.eagon.com/. The story I heard : the company(they make paper so they need lots of big logs) made a tremendous contribution to Solomon Islands and a doctor (John Tenant? I'm not sure) named his new discovery after the company's name.
One of my friend..(not very funny, though..)

Back when I had an XT w/ two 5.25 drives, my friends came and we played some games which I don't remember what and oh we were having some snacks and one poor soul says (w/ the floppy disk in his hand) "Hey don't you ever touch this hole area!" and he touches the right spot with his oily fingers. Of course I got mad but fortunately nothing bad happened except I could see a crust(!) and a small oily spot on it. I still don't understand why he touched it and No it wasn't a mistake.
When I was working for a newspaper company as a programmer, there was a server room of course, I was typing (yes, typing) something and suddenly got this feeling that i should turn over the keyboard, and I discovered somebody left an eraser right under that keyboard....I've never imagined that an eraser could eat away that much platic. It literally flowed(in earth's time scale) and left a big hole.
