   Please get your facts straight. If the papers had never existed we would still have the Internet, Networks, Filesystems, OS and Compilers. Those things are not exactly difficult to do at a basic level (the 0to1 level) although at an advance

   I have two points. Point1: Nothing that Microsoft ever does will blaze a new trail of products, they are not an original sort of company. They will always be playing catchup. EG Kinect to WiiMote Point2: Nothing that CS conferences or jou

   What academics (eg Microsoft Research) mean by "innovation" is "what lets us publish papers". What ordinary people mean by "innovation" is "what cool new things can be made available that noticeably change Grandma's life". Most academic wor

   I think you could work with a laggy, semi-VR implementation. This would be fine at 30ms (or hell 300ms). Once the demand existed for VR headsets for these applications, perhaps hardware vendors would/could start producing low-latency displa

    You don't care about your security scaling. You care about your security being secure. Maybe after you have that, then you start caring about it scaling. (If you really need storage to scale, buy a TeraData RDBMS. It will scale beyond your

    Instead of turning your infrastructure to dumb crap, you instead have the option of firing your not clever programmers. I mean, they need to be able to deal with database logic just to graduate from a good CS bachelor's program, so that's a

    To all the people saying "These are all Steve Jobs's traits": Steve Jobs was an asshole and would have got nowhere if he hadn't met Wozniak. When Jobs set out on his own, he got the flaming defeat that was Next Computer. Maybe his traits sh

    If other countries want to govern their national nets without US control, they'll govern their national nets without US control. One way or another. Seems to me the choice is that the US+friends either sign, or get a fragmented internet.
