I had to look up what immunotherapy is... not sure if it would do much good in my case, because I don't have much of an immune system at this point. I've already quit chemotherapy.. think I went 6 rounds before 'throwing in

early detection is great, if you're being specifically checked for cancer. the problem is that you can have tumors growing inside you for years, and during that time, the effects of those tumors may lead your doctor to misdiagnose the

And in that same year you could get a sub-$600 machine that could do more than that C64 or Mac: the Atari 520ST! :) of course the Amiga could do more than all 3 machines, but it cost even more than the ST (but nowhere near the cost of a Mac

also missing is the Four-Phase AL-1 which was operational by 1969, a year before the F14 Tomcat processor design was completed. The AL-1 came almost 2 years before Intel and TI's first microprocessors debuted and ran 10 times faster th

Well if nobody is passionate about it, nothing will change. I'm sure I look like a fool for it, but someone has to.. might as well be me! :) My interest in AI and computer architectures never went away.. I just decided not to turn ce

Real scientists recognize Atheism as being illogical as both it and Theism are based on faith. The Agnostic position is the only logical position one can take, as it is not faith-based and it makes an assertion that is true: we don't r

yeah, my bad. thought you were the guy above me. Apologies. As for the career I chose, you can assume it wasn't anything to do with computers, lol. (Although I almost went the Cognitive Science/Computer Science route back in my y

A computing architecture doesn't need to use a language. The language is there for our benefit, not the machine's. I'm merely suggesting that all these (by now, countless) languages are getting in the way of efficiency. If

I'm curious why you think things can never change. Maybe you can't imagine anything different. That's OK, other people will drag you into the future.

Wheels are the most effective way to transport things on land. So of course it's in our best interests to keep improving that wheel. Certainly, language is useful when hashing out a problem on paper (be it pseudocode or math equation

Well, even today there are computing devices that don't require an ordered series of logical steps (in the form of program code) to solve problems. So you don't need to wonder about it. The future is already here. However, there c

Today's computers are limited in what they can do, by way of their architecture's constraints. The von Neumann architecture has served us well up to this point, but going forward it's going to be a real handicap. But it i
