    So they can grow to Borg-ship size to keep Moores going without shrinking transistors?......oh oh

    I'm surprised Moore's Law lasted this long. Other bottlenecks seem to be more of a factor of late such that I thought CPU's would take a bit of a rest due to diminishing practical returns, analogous to a Ferrari stuck in traffic.

    The only significant research I've seen from ISS is the long-term effects of weightlessness on human crews. This may be important for Mars missions.

  10. Re:Aggression on Stephen Hawking: Biggest Human Failing Is Aggression · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree with your interpretation of the meaning of "aggression". Again, in ANY society there will be some rules that individuals don't like. Non-aggressive people find peaceful ways to change or complain about such rules. Aggressive people lash out violently.

    Not enough schools? Of course not! These are the people who are dragging the teachers out into the street and shooting them in the head before they burn down the schools....These guys don't want modern jobs, they want medieval jobs.

    People generally don't know they are ignorant until AFTER they are educated. You think those in the middle ages knew they were ignorant while they were doing medieval things?

  12. Not about just 911 on US State Department Can't Get Rid of Email Hackers · · Score: 1

    I was not just talking 911, but also Bin Laden's followers in Afghanistan and elsewhere. I feel my position has been twisted to be mostly about 911, when in fact 911 is a drop in the bucket. The education visa issue probably tilts "immigrant" terrorist statistics, as mentioned in a nearby message.

    Information on the education and goals of TYPICAL terrorists and extremists is still fuzzy, at least as given here. The above is merely speculation based on an insufficient sample size (including lack of samples from other countries).

    He shows nothing about the AVERAGE, especially over multiple nations. I cannot make it any simpler than that. If you don't understand averages, I can't help you.

    Perhaps the browser side can be coordinate-based vectors for consistency and based on incremental elements instead of draw-at-once. Any "element flow" is calculated on the server (per server-side discretion). This would give us more interaction control and depend less on browser brands: it's just "dumb" coordinates. Xwindows almost had the right idea, but isn't latency-friendly.

    Let's see them work with PHB's and clueless users to nail down "requirements". Automating logic is easy, automating prediction of random idiots is not so easy because randomness is by definition not predictable.

    You have go to lunch with and sit in boring meetings with them to figure them out, and the robot will be booted out of the room because it will ask good but embarrassing, ego-shattering questions; and not get the design analogies that use Kardashian asses as reference points, asking silly questions in an attempt to figure it out. The business world is bunches of social institutions much more than it is think tanks.

    You are trying to replace humans, not Vulcans. Kirk ran the missions better than Spock because he could identify better with illogical and petty aliens.

    Projection. You have no proof of average boom boom edu or income, and are guessing out of your south pipe. The average is key to this debate and you shed darkness on it. You lost. Go home.

    Back in my FoxPro days I cranked out smallish biz apps like lightning with 1/4 the code I use now. The multi-layered client-server and then the HTML/CSS/JS/foo++/SQL stack gummed up that and turned CRUD into a mini bureaucracy.

    Blow up the HTML stack and create GUI and CRUD-friendly browsers and markup, and database-integrated table-driven languages, and many internal biz coders will go gone. (No, MS-Access didn't integrate the database and code side well. I don't count it.)

    I didn't deflect. You are still cherry-picking. These are not scientifically chosen examples by any stretch. It still says nothing about the average. You have offered no evidence about the average.

    And why are you mostly focusing on US terrorism? Education visas can be a rouge to stay in the US longer and/or learn the language and culture in order to blend in better.

    If you voluntarily walk or drive to jail (for tax evasion), there is no violence. If you fight "the law" with violence, then you qualify for #3 on my list.

    In practice, garnishment and property liens are usually used to collect unpaid taxes. Those who have nothing worth garnishing or lien-ing are usually not a tax problem because they have too little to tax.

    Those with college degrees rarely seem to do the dangerous parts themselves. Managing is a lot more fun than blowing your brains out in a market.

    Anyhow, without reliable surveys on the profile of the average terrorist or extremist, it's just speculation or thumbnail estimates from reporters either way, and probably not worth arguing about.
