Put the best of your thinkers on a single plane and shout about it in all the media in advance. No way the plane could be targeted.

Isn't this easy to solve -- just make an API in OS for requesting "temp" or "cache" memory. Apps using this memory have to be prepared that it no longer exists -- just like weak references in Java for instance.

And it's very easy to cheaply deploy Arduino-based projects. You don't need a 30 or 40$ prototype board -- just a few elements worth maybe 7$.

But I've decided that life without lies would be unbearable. You don't seem to appreciate how nicer life is when people have control of what you know about what they think of you. I'm not saying big lies. But those little, innocent white lies. What would be the value of constantly hearing how people hate what you just said, how awful they think you look today, how they don't care about you in the shop, etc. Sure, the absolute truth is that people often think badly of you. But they also think about undressing other people and having sex with them a lot. Or killing them. What makes us human is that we can CHOOSE not to act on these emotions. And we can CHOOSE to tell a white lie so our life with other people is less stressing. I wouldn't give that away.

And now, WHERE WERE I... If I only had a built-in compass :-))

Programming a machine to teach is not as hard as it sounds.

I hear you man, I probably had the same German teacher ;-)

Have you looked at Liferay's or Drupal source code? I didn't take 10 minutes to study both of them, but literally weeks. It's almost impossible, especially in Liferay, to develop anything nontrivial without going through its source code to understand how it's supposed to work - so I looked at it a lot. You can't go on without having source codes, because the documentation is fragmented and in many parts nonexistent, most forum threads are left unanswered and bugs unfixed for years. The code is not the only incomprehensible thing -- the product as a whole is.

I can develop web sites and applications much quicker in a much more enjoyable way using simpler tools that are documented well, do not get in the way and are not huge enough to become bloat blobs. I have this knowledge from experience in programming business that I've been doing for more than 15 years.

What you write and the way you write it, is the kind of attitude I've seen a lot on open source project forums. The "get to know it and/or fix it yourself or get the fuck out" mantra is OK as long as I don't pay for the enterprise license and support, you know. I'm glad to submit patches to open source projects that stay true to the idea and are worthy using. But if my patches are going to be used to sell "enterprise" version by an entity that can't get their product right -- I'm out. And I'm using different software as long as I have a choice.

Probably every big piece of s...oftware is the same. Messy, overengineered, slow, uncomprehensible... Such is Liferay and such is Drupal, only Drupal is also written in the PH "fractal of bad design" P.

I like how you can plug the Ubuntu phone to a display and maybe a mouse and keyboard and it becomes a full desktop computer. I do believe that phone CPUs are getting performant enough to pull this off and for most people it will have enough computing power. Of course, there are drawbacks such as what happens when someone steals the phone with all your data or shitty battery life. It will probably not have enough public appeal to become mainstream. But the idea itself is quite nice IMO.

So what it's a defect in the visual cortex, not in the eye. The glasses can process image so that red surfaces have diagonal stripes and green ones are dotted. That's how we use "color" on black and white charts for example.

The problem is, that only nuclear and solar have enough power output in most of places on this planet.
The other problem is that we need either good energy storage for our cars or the possibility to quickly charge them every 50 or 100 kilometers...

Not only are gasoline engines inefficient, they require fuel be trucked to stations wasting even more fuel.

And with solar power, until an efficient energy storage method is created (batteries and other methods available now are crappy), transmission problem is going to last and even grow bigger. In my opinion, the only sensible solution to powering all the world from solar would be to build power plants on opposite sites of the globe, so some part of them is ALWAYS on the dayside. Transmitting their energy to those parts of world that are currently on the nightside is even bigger a problem.

Eclipse is much more user-friendly and stable than NetBeans in every iteration I have used it.

That is interesting, my experience is completely opposite -- Netbeans is better focused on most often used functionality than on some niche stuff and extreme configurability almost noone needs, has shorter menus, less cluttered toolbars, has more intelligent and intuitive text editor (variable names guessing is so brilliant you don't notice it until you go back to other editors), has Alt-Tab that works instantly, etc. etc.

It is also periodically reviewed for performance and tuned up, which results in amazing improvements between, say, version 6.5 and 7.2.

Netbeans doesn't require me to get and configure additional plugins for SVN or Maven. It is much better integrated with application servers.

etc, etc

Have you tried Netbeans recently, or do you base your Eclipse preference on Netbeans 3.5? Because I have been forced to use Eclipse Juno for past 3 months and it is slow as hell, unintuitive, has menus that still require scrolling in full hd and still proposes arg0 as variable names...

...won't be solved by learning some JS and some HTML. If it's enough skill for your app you may as well stop looking for a good programmer and just hire someone cheap and not overbooked, who's done "some JS and some HTML in 24 hours" crash course.

And for the most shocking crimes there should be life sentence with artificial life prolonging ;-)

If I were to be mistakenly held in prison for life, I'd rather die painlessly.
