I think it IS the paper, or at least the medium. (Marshall McLuhan?)
Since it's hard to toss a professor into your car without felony charges, the bound book is the delivery medium of the content, and the part I believe has "hardware value" much like Apple is up to. Rather than some behemoth press in NYC, I do believe the future is the DIY kiosk that takes content of your choosing and cranks it into the presentation medium. Once that process gets down under a minute I think we'll hit a plateau.
When studying moderately difficult factual material, self pacing is important for me, which is the chief flaw of audio editions. Digital only copies tie up the visual space on the computer. I'd accept a cheap disposable reader with stylus/type annotation ability that can then wirelessly email your custom copy to your standard email.

I think they do, but only in aggregate. I think I recall reading various cases in Windows 7 when enough users reported X error, they fixed it in the next version, but that can sometimes be 2 years later.
Yeah, let the OLPC be a different breed. Finally someone is doing what I carped on in a couple of Dot posts.
(Begin slightly excessive theatrics) "Windows 7 (and Vista worse before that), Outlook 2010, and some new breeds of Linux require crispy shiny hardware. Oh Noes! Who will Think Of The OldWare??" (/End slightly excessive theatrics)
So even ignoring Vista like we all did, MS is right that Win7/Vista SP3 is in fact positioned perfectly for the upgrade cycle from XP era 2001-2010.
That means there will be a perfect storm of weaker hardware showing up. Wait, what's this? People LIKE weaker specs if they're cheap?
If they can put a bit of hacker humor into the whole affair, it could go really well.

17 fluid ounces. A 12 Oz can of soda is not nearly enough. Yet I tend to trail off and leave the last bit of a 20 oz bottle. The amount of a Venom drink seems perfect.
I think it's a tossup between that and how people think it's faster to post "What is X" *And wait for the answer* than to use a search engine. It's that shift from how conversations used to work.

Is THAT where that started? I supposed the OS had to "own" dependencies somehow, but I'm 1 comp generation too late to know how the whole mess started. I think I've been seeing web apps able to pop windows out lately.

Just rewarding you for affirming the basics. Pre-Net, you could squash info because random people couldn't get an exposure critical mass. Now the Amplify effect needs to be accounted for every day.
Absolutely, and I'll take every woe we have (which would have happened eventually). We're having to grow up as a society.
I'll even give you a mind-experiment alternate future. Suppose MS never quite got the lock they have on public tech. I'd bank on Apple being the 900 Kilo gorilla. (We'd be using metric! hehe.) The Tech/Calendar year would be better because Apple had already given back some low level basic tech like they do now. Certain specific woes like Corporate IE6 wouldn't have happened. Slashdot would be using different memes instead of the GatesBorg. The iPhone would be out in 2003 instead of 2007.
But in the long haul, we'd still have the exact same Old Media squabbling. The same Big Brother Is Now struggles. The same fileshare woes.
Solving all of that in the public sphere *is* making us smarter. I've learned more on slashdot about political maneuverings and basic logic in 3 years than I did for 10 before that.

To grow a field it helps to create a large base of people who at least "appreciate" it. Pick the exact timing you like, but suddenly we went from when growing up learning computers was "nerdy" to "connected".
Businesses are the art of getting midline people to handle some stuff that just burns hours, saving the power hitters to really churn out something. "Using 90% less code" seems to be the kind of thing that's made for this.

We did. His name was Cheney, and he kicked everyone but the asshats out of government.

Right. Given a silly comment of one's own, the men say "Duh" to you, while the women say "Duh" *to each other behind your back*.

Smart men build weapons.
Smart women know not to use them.
Because of things like your list.

They will. But they'll get stuck in your crab-apple tree.
