"I've known a number of really smart people at Microsoft Research. And I've always wondered why they seem to produce so little."
Taking something from research into a full-fledged product at a company like Microsoft is like turning an aircraft carrier - it has a lot of expensive hardware on deck that has to be kept safe and has to be down slowly given that the seas are shifting constantly.
- ratsbane 16y agoIf the aircraft carrier suddenly notices a large island right in front of it then it might should consider a sharp turn anyway, even if a few F-14s get dinged up a bit.
- Aaronontheweb 16y agoThe aircraft carrier has advanced radar and sonar to avoid that situation :p
- ratsbane 16y agoAll the radar and sonar in the world won't do the aircraft carrier any good if Captain Balmer ignores them and steers based on where he thinks the island ought to be instead of where it actually is.
- Aaronontheweb 16y agoBut you can't put an aircraft carrier on an island unless it has a deepwater dock!
