"Object Orientated"? Really? How does someone read so much material on Alan Kay and still manage to have "object orientated" stuck in their head? It's like putting together an overview of Edward Said's "Orientatilism".

You can be both! But I am usually more annoyed by rich content than the lack thereof. It grabs your CPU and memory and screams out to anyone in your vicinity, "Look what x is browsing!"

Probably not a slap, just waiting for Meraki's lease to run out. It's funny how Cisco walks the "networked world" walk in a number of ways (IP phones on the desks, virtual secretaries in some of the lobbies), but still wants to maintain a c

Not completely zero - I can easily imagine how someone trying to buy a gift during a fifteen-minute break would go to barnesandnoble.com or whatever.

I saw this machine in action at an event at the hardware accelerator they're part of. The guys behind it are cool and they have solved a number of problems so far. But I do not think they have solved all of them. When I saw it the rate of p

Are parts of it not working for you? I have not seen problems, and I use it almost every day. Or are you asking whether they have ceased innovating? That could well be.

I am curious about this part. Why would outcomes be better for both non-depressive 3-year-olds and depressive 4-year-olds?: There is evidence that for some outcomes, Head Start had a differential impact for some subgroups of children over

I must confess, I flagged this article before clicking through because I thought it was using dumb innuendo, not vilifying it.

One thing you (and the other replies so far) are forgetting is the patent portfolio. Industry research groups generate IP which can be used as a cudgel up to 17 years down the line.

I think it makes total sense that no one she knows reads blogs. Most kids don't read the paper, or read books for fun. This is not so much devolution of reading habits as democratization of computer usage.

"Gravity's Rainbow", by Thomas Pynchon, has an extended section about the Poisson distribution as applied to falling bombs, maternity wards, etc.: http://books.google.com/books?id=GGPm4I3BbxAC&pg=PT194&#... (possibly NSFW)

The nerd adulation comes from the idea that having understanding of computers will be more awesome, not being rich and white. The fact that they make that substitution shows a certain mired pathos. EDIT: FWIW, I think the Kurzweil view is r

Bit of a spoiler for the previous novel in the series, that.

Perhaps I was downvoted because I didn't make clear the reason for asking that question. Mindsets can be very difficult to break, and telling those in power in Afghanistan, "We're going to let women vote on things and let you kids look up c

To one extent or another, most NGOs are "missionary organizations", and are certainly threatening the way of life of the more hidebound Muslims. So I'm less surprised than some here at the conclusion of the story. I think the question to

To be sure, it is all bits and most languages are capable of rearranging them as needed. But paradigm is important. If you start every solution by asking 'What classes am I going to write?', your ratio of typing to functionality is not go

This is cool. I didn't see anyone else asking for spell check, so may I be the first? Also, some sort of completion would be nice - maybe have tab complete the top word?

Well, he does work for a cloud provider. Also, he might just have a lot of faith in encryption (although he doesn't mention it).

Indeed - it reads as if the reporter was unaware of doxing. 4chan is still a sub-subculture I guess. The angle of it being used to make public affairs more transparent and accountable is interesting. I wonder, do the likes of Eric Holder or
