It seems to me that if the computer networks and computer industry enjoyed real regulation, any yahoo who passes a CompTIA test wouldn't be able to claim to be a computer consultant, or a security expert, and be allowed to set up crap that allegedly puts our nation at risk via cyberterrorism. as the trumpeters keep blaring. Imagine if anyone could just say he was a lineman and start modifying the power grid, or a police officer and start arresting people. If data is as important as power and control (they are all important types of busses, no?), then data people have to be better trained and regulated like power and control people. Ah, but it's a nascent profession...
This isn't about the fact that it's vaporware, because that doesn't make a difference to the Chinese people. Let's face it, the entire government has failed to deliver the republic to the people in a country named the PRC. And it's not about patent issues. Don't like our IP laws, we'll just crash your economy silly Americans. (They could if we weren't busy trading our country into even deeper debt to them...) And it's not about showing they're building IT from the ground up there, because eventually, that's a given. WHAT IT'S ABOUT IS laying the ground work for distributing PC's to everyone in China with the intent of including a distributed client to calculate the empirical formula of the perfect sweet sauce for spring egg rolls. Failure to recognize this means I have to believe that Slapdot is slipping...:(

This so should get modded up. It's pretty funny.
Why would you waste your breath on an extra syllable?
"S" "Q" "L"
"SEE" "QUILL"
Let's strive for efficiency people, lest we let Dr. Codd down...

comic books, graphic novels, and Bazooka Joe rappers to be a mollifying affect with my written skills.
I have an advanced copy, but the DRM seems insurmountable...
