Yah, that sounds like a great idea. Spend lots of money to vaccinate everyone to save 4000 people from dying in the United States from a problem they could have saved themselves by curbing their own actions. That is why healthcare is so expensive.
I think IQ is a terrible way to analyze someone. I have been tested to an IQ of 181 but my learning disabilities cause me to excel in some areas and falter in others. Though the places I faulted are compensated in other ways, it is difficult for others to grasp how difficult those compensation activities are and the impact on the speed for which genius function. For instance, my memory is hierarchal. To recall some facts my brain searches for information using sort of a bread crumb approach to remember something. This appears to others as if I don't know or cannot understand. Yet, I come up with better solutions and have more thorough understanding than they know. This brings me into conflicts with others during argument. Because I appear to be an idiot in the short term and a savant in the long term.

I am not worried about the more or less vitamins. I am worried about the added chemicals (pesticides) in the vegetables and fruits. Just because science is deficient in determining that there is a difference does not mean that there is not. We tend to think that science has come a long way through history. The only way to actually tell that it has is to have a crystal ball to see what the future holds. Looking at current science is not a predictor of the future and its discoveries. Snapping your fingers to keep the lions away works for both parties on either side of the argument. The only way to see the truth is to continue to try and gather evidence. Understanding the statistics of how people feel when they don't eat the GMO's/Pesticide risen/cross bread food is to understand the population. My money is on the people who eat organic. I see who is more health looking and what they eat. Economics plays a part. The variables associated with what makes one population more healthy than another is not easily seen by analysis of just the fruits and vegetables. A holistic viewpoint of lifestyle is the only way to understand the population and the greater health of people who eat organic.
John Spencer needs to read "IT Does Not Matter" by Nicholas G. Carr. Carr makes several points but the one I remember most is this: "
So what should companies do? From a
practical standpoint, the most important
lesson to be learned from earlier
infrastructural technologies may be
this: When a resource becomes essential
to competition but inconsequential
to strategy, the risks it creates become
more important than the advantages it
provides. Think of electricity. Today, no
company builds its business strategy
around its electricity usage, but even a
brief lapse in supply can be devastating."
Open source is the advantage that if missed companies die. If taken advantage of early can be a competitive advantage and that advantage can live until others catch up. This is not a problem with job loss as much as it is with the inability for companies to cope in the right way by taking advantage of the extra help in other ways. http://www.proxios.net/pdf/ITDoesn'tMatter.pdf
I was a PhD student. I finished the classroom study. I moved on to the research and promptly left the program at that point. The research was Nonsense. Not because I picked it but because my adviser was out of touch with the world. I told him and proved that his work was crap. We promptly had a huge argument and we split. I now work in industry doing research. It is where I wanted to be anyway. I never wanted to be a professor. I do like to teach. But, I like to teach what people want to learn and not what is esoteric to get a label of PhD. I don't blame my former adviser. He was just doing what he needed to do to survive in the system. The university perpetuated the problem. It is very apparent who has done the better work now but I had the better environment after leaving the program. He is stuck with the program and will never do meaningful anything there. Good luck academics.
I am an embedded real time device developer. I have a family. I like to program.
I want respect and I think I have the experience and the expertise to say that
I deserve a good salary. I work in telecommunications. The industry has not
given raises in 3 years. I do not live in silicon valley nor do I want to live there.
Give me an industry in the midwest that pays for the hard skills. Don't make me jump
through hoops to switch jobs. Tell me I am valued. Have a good direction. The 700MhZ
auction and LTE seem to be what will drive the industry in the next couple of years. Don't
tell me you want me to work on TDMA. When I save your ass say so.

Akie, ylon and all,
Thanks first of all for the posts. It's good to see you've found our new comment section for regular news stories. We've had them available on our blogs for some time.
As to the news, it seems that Croll mispoke a couple of times when asked about ZFS in Leopard. Despite direct questions about Sun CEO Schwartz's claims that ZFS is there, Croll flatly denied the reports to two of our reporters in a 1:1 interview.
An Apple spokesperson called us Tuesday seeking to clarify Croll's statement. Croll was apparently supposed to indicate that ZFS would be available as a limited option, but not as the default file system."
We are now writing a separate story to note Apple's mis-statement and hopefully to reveal more about how ZFS would work in Leopard.
We'll update you here when that story is live.

I don't know that there are to many companies that write apps for
phones directly. The iPhone is not Qualcommm Brew but look at the
number of Brew developers in comparison. I don't see many enterprises
in this list. It is just a great deal of BS to say this.

The issue is not whether you can license it or not. The issue is whether letting other license it makes it harder to update it. If you only have one group of devices to update it is easier to maintain control....That sounds like lock in. Isn't that what we are all are talking about. You miss the point totally if you think that breaking the DRM is the point. The point is not if you can break the DRM. DRM will be broken. The point is how fast you can fix it. Revolving secrets in DRM was acceptable to the record companies. The secret revolves after you fix it from being broken. You can fix it faster if you don't have it licensed all over the place. Go to apple and read the post from Jobs. He has got it right.
R is a system for statistical computation and graphics. It consists of a language plus a run-time environment with graphics, a debugger, access to certain system functions, and the ability to run programs stored in script files. I runs on a variety of CPU's. You may be able to get this to run on some PDA's like a zarus I would think. This would be your most powerful option. Check out R here: http://www.r-project.org/
If I sample parts of a song (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sampling_(music)) and store them on my computer is just the proximity and how they are played that make it a crime? If I sample a song say at the packet level over a p2p network and then store them together is that a crime? If I sample them separately and store them together is that a crime? It is kind of like a man standing on a street corner pulling one hair out at a time and asking "Am I bald yet?" I am sure the RIAA would not want to destroy a music industry like RAP just to stop sampling. I think that just because proximity of my samples is next to each other should not mean that I have committed a crime it should be called compression.
