They wouldn't need to work on compilers, and developers wouldn't need to rewrite code if they encouraged people to use BLAS and then optimize BLAS. I think that a lot of this multi-core stuff will end up being matrix and vector math units with some kind of MIMD based on GPU style masking branches. If they wrap it in a special-purpose API, they only end up hurting their benchmark scores.
It's possible that they noticed that areas where women have more rights have less of a population increase. Also, note that scientists are not deriving moral imperatives from fact, they are applying them to facts. The argument you are using is basically an ad hominem attack on top of an exploding straw man. If morals could be inferred from facts, then it is possible they should be. But you say this is impossible, so because your straw man does this, anything follows by explosion. So it's an exploding straw man!
Physics simulation, image processing, and data compression all use math. For physics and images the math is matrix math. Look at what most benchmarks are made of, and you will see it's the same stuff.
Look at Western Europe. ID cards are ubiquitous, but no one complains. That's because they actually have checks and balances in government. Sure, this won't stop terrorists, but it makes conducting a fugitive search very easy. The problem is we love our Business-owned government so much we don't think that abuses of power should or can be curbed. Because of the unique idea that Americans have about politics being nice there is no partisan division of government like in Europe. Look at the Netherlands: A top leader was accused of lying on her refugee status application, leading to her replacement. In America nothing would happen, because there is a real benefit to being one of the boys. But that could be changing, thanks to Howard Dean. His fifty-state strategy lead to a diverse party bloc and this means that European-style coalition building could happen in America. Sorry for being OT, but I think that when checks and balances return we can finally be safe and free.
It's not the laws per se, but the lack of oversight in their application. Right now there is a law on the books that makes every human being a criminal in the US for possessing a neurotransmitter that can be used for recreational chemistry. They can get a sealed arrest warrant against you, raid your house, kill you, and say that you were a drug dealer. That's from before the war on terror. Part of this is malice, part oversight on the part of the lawmakers.
Windows is backwards compatible to DOS, over 20 years of improvement, but from one console to the next they break compatibility. Why? I bet most people have more console games that they don't want to buy over then programs. What makes Xbox games so unique that you need to port each one individually? Or is this some sort of business decision? If so, Microsoft is hurting their console sales by forcing people to get rid of old games. So, once again, why?
Do you like democracy? Do you support the right to people to pick their own form of government? So why the hell do you care what happens to the Middle East? If they want to live in a theocracy let them. The Palestine elections have shown that Middle East democracy means voting the way Uncle Sam wants you to, or get killed. If we fight a massive war, that's easy to win because we can go all out, instead of fighting a counter-insurgency. If you think the Middle East is a threat, you should wait until nukes are justified. Chances are they won't risk attacking Europe. Attacking them now just makes the later war inevitable by giving truth to Osama bin Laden's words.
Penicillin. Lisp. BSD. Shannon's information theory. Smalltalk. The Web. The Internet. All of these came out of academia. Saying that academia is bull is saying that pure research counts for nothing. Well, look at number theory. Once considered unsullied by practical applications it now is used in cryptography. The atomic bomb started as pure research.
We already have a conclusion based on the best information available. This is Prisoner's Dilemma. And like in real prisons, defection is not going to be an optimal strategy.
Businesses do have a feedback cycle: their resources are taken away from them when they become inefficient.
That's just not true. Food is wasted at fast-food restaurants while people starve outside. If they gave the food to the people, no one would be worse off and one person would be a little happier. So the status quo is inefficient, but no force corrects it. Businesses make profits, but the logic of competition should see the profits decrease to zero as they all undercut one another. Used-car salesmen sell cars for more they you would pay for them if you knew all about their defects. But all these things happen, because the real world is not the happy ideal world of the proof of capitalism's efficiency. And people become satisfied. The proof only works if people are never satisfied. As for producing rather then consuming, it's rather hard to justify useless work as being efficient. Oh, and shouldn't we welcome high unemployment rates as proof that we all have time to spare and still make all the goods we need?
They don't track cars via the tires. They detect cars by detecting the body of the car or the pressure exerted on a hose in the asphalt. They can also use EZ-pass to track. But this isn't much of a concern as they could just have toll operators write the license plate down of everything that goes through.
And failed. Windows is not secure. Orange book level 7 OS is secure, with a full formal proof of correctness. And on hardware with additional correctness proof. The reason is because Microsoft eliminated better competitors by tightly integrating with the OS. If Windows is so secure, what's with all the DCOM/RPC vulnerabilities? That's a core part of the OS that is filled with holes.
Look, all he wants is to be able to have the phone on vibrate so he can see who is calling and leave to take the call. Is that really going to interfere with your enjoyment of the movie?
Remember... We didn't conquer the Soviet Union with sanctions, but rather blue jeans, rock and roll, and McDonalds.Nope. We outspent them in the arms race. And it didn't help that they depended on us for mission critical software in a natural gas field. Big enough blast to be seen from space when it happened. Basically they fucked up in spending priorities, not giving enough to the solid-state physicists. So they lost in the electronics race.
This post illustrates why politicians fuck it up so often because of scientists. First off politicians are not stupid. They are smart people who are aware of the limits of their knowledge and want to gain enough of an understanding of the subject to say something intelligent about the bill at hand. Secondly a lot of smart people don't explain issues to a politician. If you are a smart, independent, expert on a subject and meet with a politician, explain a subject to him, he will be grateful. Where were the Alaskan nerds when Senator Stevens made an ass out of himself? I bet they weren't asking to meet with him or writing an informational letter. Lobbyists provide information, and get rewarded. Scientists should do the same. The last point is that technical people don't separate facts from opinion cleanly in the public eye. Scientists are always talking about limits on knowledge. This is appropriate in the classroom, but in public debate it sounds like a guess.
They charge for access to the full text because it is coming out in a print magazine. This is no different from copying the pictures from Playboy and handing them out for free. Do you think people will buy the magazine, or read your free copy? This kind of journal costs real money to print, and you just made it harder for them to get it.
First, if you are not learning RTFB. Also, in class the teacher has the opportunity to ANSWER QUESTIONS if you didn't understand the material. Do you think teachers don't answer intelligent questions in school?
Secondly what would motivate people who don't want to learn to learn? Not much. So it's a moot point. If you increased the opportunity cost fewer people would go.
Third point I agree with.
Fourth point I agree with.
No such curriculum exists.
My middle school textbooks were filled with paperwasting "connections" because of this criticism. They try to say how it is useful. I go to a magnet school, Bergen County Academies where we use collage textbooks without this crap. Basically, trying to give practical examples is a waste of time.
Now, high school is useful. If you have a high school diploma, you earn more then if you do not. If you go on to collage, you earn a lot more. Also, the national trend has been towards increasing graduation rates, not less. And dropping out is not a sensible move from an economic perspective.
In the dark ages government depended on the church. The church excommunicates you, you lost all power. Science didn't progress as it couldn't be afforded. And when it did progress the church viewed it as a threat to the combination of Aristotle and Christianity that Church doctrine was at the time.

The contractors are giving it to the US anyway for review. That seems to be what the UK is asking for.

Some things are obvious in retrospect, like the modern automatic coupling.
Just synthesize it.
So what's the license plate for?
