.. I forgot to log in. About these naming conventions and grammar nazis, well. Finish has these things called prepositions, which are used in quite similar way, and it is said that Finnish is one of the hardest language to learn because of those. Good luck with that Dan... And that kind of behavior is not a new invention. I have faint memories, that for example Symbian did use that kind of trick to interfere memory allocation behavior or smth. It's funny how in Symbian class's variables are always iSomething, and then *tudumtsah* iPhone.

I love the sound of you words: it would had been economically beneficial to care about security and environment. Yes. Sounds nice.

Quite all AI things that I know involve dot products for long vectors, which could be optimized with GPUs.

That's hot! Now I'll need only one big cooler instead of many small ones. Is it possible to use these GPUs easily in my own apps? What kinds of compilers we have for these? Will this start an era of functional programming?

I for one, welcome our new human based overlords.

Perhaps it's the way they pronounce things. Dunno. In Finnish the words are said like they are written, and we do not have spelling competitions because that would be, well, silly.

I get sleep easier, when I do not drink coffee. If I want to be awake, I'll drink coffee. Yes. It's all about control.

Good point.

I have not experienced any correlation between ingeniousness, quirkiness and the behavior of the management.

'cloud computing' is hype and a buzzword which is used to obtain credibility, money and publicity. people love to read scifi-like things and the use of such weird words feed that. I would not say that everything that is done under that label is stupid though.

Well. I guess that you can found bad companies again when the next hype phase comes.
