People will use single data points to make unconditional blanket statements. This is a fact.
Do you have any more examples of people doing that?

And after I posted that, I was worried it was too little information for the South Park reference.
No, just enough.
The only thing that makes sense is for the string length count to be the same size as a pointer, so that it could effectively be all of memory.
Other than the segmented environments where a pointer doesn't cover all the memory. But that is just a nit pick.
With NS this will specialize the variation in the "creature" . e.g. all dogs comes from wolfs (evols & creationists agree on that) due to man's natural selection, we get Great Danes and chiwawas, it doesn't matter how many times the chiwawas breeds, you never get a great dane out of them.
You say that as if its true. Its not. Select the largest of each litters and breed them. See how the size increases. No magic involved, no "lost information" restored.
Even if what you said was true. It would just be a case of waiting for a mutation to produce a larger offspring, and to select that. RInse and repeat as needed and you have something of the size of a Dane again.
Maybe so, but the part I was questioning was this bit of rainbows and puppies
From a programmers point of view a cloud aware application does not need to know anything about memory, cpu and back storage.
It may not be the case that it matters where those resources are, but that doesn't mean the programmer doesn't have to know about them.
I don't know the absolute address that the MMU maps a running process under Linux to, but I still need to know about the virtual address that I see in the process space.
Actual security. There has yet to be a breach with a cloud provider. Plus, this is what SLAs are for.
Until the US Gov comes along and asks the provider to show it your data (see other slashdot topics).
The cloud is something new!
The cloud has nothing to do with "network"!!

Everything is abstracted away and virtualized independendly.
During deployment you only bind a name to a service, you don't even knwo how the service si running, that is up to the cloud provider.
Hmm, ok, that sounds great, but what does it actually mean. BTW, try and answer using real words, not just hand waving.
I disagree. There *are* some algorithms out there which are truly creative and non-obvious. They have as much right to be patented as any hardware.
So are you (for example) ok with someone taking a patent out on the discrete cosine transform?
Ok, I will bite, why not explain to us just what a website actually is? And equally to the point, where it is?
I tried, but I can't find any other way of saying this...
And your point is? I would rank Microsoft over nuclear power as an accomplishment for the 20th century.
Well, then sir, you are an idiot.
BTW, "nuclear power" != "the science behind splitting the atom"
One is much larger than the other.
Who mentioned efficiency?
We don't have to do it in real time. But even if we had till the heat death of the universe to let the code run, we still don't know how to write the code, which was the OP's point.
Is there a human capable of multiplying precisely billions of numbers per second or doing any other similar tasks?
What, you think the computer invented itself?
We are tool makers, the computer is a tool, we want to multiply at a rate of 10^9 a second, we just build the tool using our brains.
I admit it, I can't work out if you are being humerous or just don't know how usenet over uucp used to work.
The quote was "would never had done" not "wouldn't be able to do"
C for example
#include
main()
{
int i;
int part_the_first = 42;
int part_the_second = 99;
int part_the_third = 100;
i = part_the_first, part_the_second - part_the_third;
printf( "the answer to (etc) is: %d\n", i );
}
