And this is why I intend to pay for all my cars up front. After all, it takes less time to save up the money to buy the car than it would to pay off the loan.
That's actually a genius idea! If there were a decent desalination technology we could seperate salt from water, take the fresh water for ourselves (humanity always needs more fresh water) and dump the salt back into the ocean to help fix the currents!
Does nobody else recognize that this is discrimination against teenagers for no good or valid reason? They have every right to go anywhere an adult does, except maybe into a liquor store.
Things are so difficult when it comes to computers because people are so insistent on having their own computers for their own data but don't want to learn how keep those computers secure. They are voluntary fools.
However, I do agree that we have no reason to put executable code in documents.
With these things around - and given the read/write speeds we're being promised - I think they're angling to just replace magnetic hard drives. Think about it: you carry all your data on an HVD in your wallet with you which contains software that can adapt itself to different hardware configurations and just boot "your computer" on whatever machine you damn well please!
And imagine what we'll be able to do with multiple layers!
Or even wilder, what about using holographic media as nonvolatile RAM?
Alright Mr. "Insightful" if the most ignorant of Slashdot users can get by these restrictions how would I do so with only one computer and no proxy server?
I trust that people are intelligent enough to evaluate research for themselves (or possibly find an expert they trust) rather than relying on a small group of journal editors off somewhere. When authorities are needed, you know there is a problem. When they can be dealt away with, progress is being made. Such is the Internet Nature.
It's the way of the Net. The middleman gets cut out, because the producers of real content have found a way to reach audiences without paying a tax to an editor or board. That doesn't mean it isn't a good thing. With scientific papers available on the Net it will no longer be necessary to obtaom journal subscriptions or access to far-away university libraries in order to research a given topic.
This is the spread of free knowledge we're seeing, and I expect it to keep going. After all, information, debate and the freedom of ideas are what science is all about!
You're wrong because certain work relies on hardware, such as games, development, and (as you said) anything relying on identity. Accounts Receivable can be done as you describe, but not much else. Oh, and Accounts Payable.
What I've usually seen happen is that less self-motivated students will be given a curriculum by their parents, while the more motivated will practice something called unschooling in which they pursue their own interests. This usually continues up until the high school level at which point even ardent unschoolers adapt their studies to college preparation.
Because "moving one around really fast" relies on some of the time effects of General Relativity (as superceding Special Relativity), which we don't really know how to combine with anything at the level affected by Quantum Mechanics and entanglement.
I'm homeschooled and left to do my work as I will under the assumption that I can recognize it's in my best interests to do enough schoolwork rather than slack off. That also means I get enough work done to get away with spending significant time on Slashdot;-).
They are learning techniques to teach to unwilling students. Once children are broken to obedience it's been found that a large part of their will to learn goes away and must be made up for by scientific pedagogy.
The operating system will continue to become less and less important as modern operating systems become closer and closer to being mere variants on the underlying Unix design that has taken over the market.
When an OS is made with some feature that Unix can't duplicate, while retaining security and stability, operating systems will again matter.

Or possible a memory device capable of holding 2 of every animal!

Bad mysogeny! No soup for you!

It is bad to profit without doing anything to earn it, because the only way to do so is to exploit someone else's labors.
And why does my copyright infringement sense keep tingling? Something about a "Toei Animation"...
Another IE security fault? It executes arbitrary code? Wake me when some news comes in.
Lockheed Martin choosing Linux? I need to go take a shower.

Well fuck me harder, nepotism on Slashdot.

I submitted this story on Friday, and it was rejected! Is there a high-karma requirement on getting an article accepted or something?

Cancer preventing beer? There is a God.

I'll use these when I enter the International Obfuscated C Contest.
"Politics" is synonomous with "marketing and sales".
This has been Cynicism 101.
