sharing informations between threads is faster and easier (although you need to synchronize the access, using semaphores), but different processes (programs) should not be able to access each others memory, for security reasons.

yes - I know - dicaprio... titanic... *yuck*
but after "catch me if you can", "aviator" and now this project i start respecting him... (yes, i just said jehovah! stone me!)
god, that article is crap! first of all he compares his XO to A VIDEO!? wtf!?
i read the conclusion first (which i always do, to save reading time, since usually everything else is just explanations on why the conclusion is the way it is) but the conclusion basically says "sugar encourages learning, windows wants to be idiot-proof"
so after the conclusion was useless i wondered how the mentioned battery-life comparison went out - but that section says "Microsoft claims 20 hours of battery life while watching movies - and I didn't really test, how long it runs with sugar"... great comparison, really - comparing a marketing statement (yes, with our cars we all get as far on one fuel filling as the commercials tell us...) to nothing!?
recording audio is easier to find in sugar, as is video recording (well, you don't get options on quality-vs-size, but who cares about disk space, right? everyone has 1tb nowadays, right? the XO has 3-5 gb online storage - not much and slow...)
then he rants about how horrible sharing files is on windows-XO - you have to pass around a data storage medium - OMG!... oh btw it's the same thing with sugar, unless you have a file-server nearby...
wifi probably might be shitty on windows - although they barely sayd anything in the video about that... but windows sucks anyways...
security will be an issue, because kids might believe lies... anti-virus, anti-spyware, anti-malware, anti-phishing will eat up battery life and performance
now i really hate microsoft and wish them all the worst, but this article is just plain ridiculous! nothing to see here, move along!
I read about the way the BSA makes their numbers:
they ESTIMATE "how much software" a usual PC needs and compare that number to how much software was sold... so using free software or freeware or sticking with old versions is considered "piracy"...
a newspaper thinks the internet is bad
this has nothing to do with the fact that the internet destroys newspapers print run and therefore their ad sales volume

Great book about math, gives a good insight into what math really is and how mathematicians think and are...
imo should be read by any pupil in an early grade level, before they start thinking math was difficult or boring...

we are working on integrating cutting edge planners (currently the award winning fast forward planner FF, see http://members.deri.at/~joergh/ff.html ) with controllers for dynamic worlds, like Golog (this means we make robots, that react to changes in the world, decide faster what to do, to achieve a goal) http://www.computational-logic.org/content/projects/wisslogc.php?id=53
