the key comment in the original post is "forums where cool kids hang around". well in case you haven't noticed, these cool kids are probably not even 1% of the total software engineer/developer population out there. and i would thus question the whole premise of this article. its based on a number that, as we say in physics, infinitesimally small and can be safely ignored for all practical puropses!:-)
i have been reading slashdot since '98 or '99 i think... and this is story is nothing short of depressing! however, change is but natural and i guess we all have to accept it as a matter of fact! so long, cmdrTaco... i wish you a happy future!:-)
i always thought the cmdr was a short for "commander" and he was some retired military guy who had a keen eye for news/headlines, till i read about his proposal to kathleen... lol. so long and thank you!:-)
am surprised they didn't do this earlier? the great western powers have got all sorts of robotic devices and planes and tanks to kill people, couldn't they have given japan a couple to help out people in need? oh but then, that wouldn't earn them dollars would it! ok my bad!

maybe the rare earth elements are not that rare after all. people just didn't look hard enough. we should all thank china for forcing the issue! :-)
read it like this, "was" moderately successful, "now will be" a total failure! ;-)
