If you recall, that was the model that VMware originally used as well (the VM/CMS model). But, essentially, yes, you are right. I'm wondering why they went with the single threaded process, and would like more information from them outside what is in the slide deck..

Yes we need to address malicious ads, but short and sweet, they are there to generate revenue of sorts for legitimate business. SO, teach the user to not click on the pretty ad the comes up, and why, poof, problem solved? Maybe build a program that sends a signal to a special anti ad clicking mouse, every time you click, it shocks your poor little hand, until you stay away from those mean ol ads. Heh, no, that will never work. The idea to address the issue of malicious ads is not an easy one to address. I think this letter is a great starting point, and should hopefully open some thinking, but my point of the mouse example is that we have to address it not only at the redirects level, but the end user. If the "masses" of people out there would learn to not be afraid of technology, then we might make more progress. These ads move on through fear, and fear is strong. It gives the original writer a virtual (or maybe physical) hardon, because they know they have to the power to control thousands. I like my mouse idea.

Who knew that a social website like facebook (and the quietly lurking but previously loud) and myspace would garner sooo much attention? I mean come on, you have to wonder what our society is coming to that something like this would even be a blip on the radar of caring... BUT, since we are now taking life direction from sites like this and privacy concerns, I am building a fortress of solitude that each of my friends and family can see through with special glasses, and none of you can see what I am doing. There, rant for the day, on a techno-social-rant-news-thingie website. MKilpatric (6 ft 2) (Male) (Kansas) (Brown Hair, Blue Eyes) (Google me!) Heh heh.

His company can make it better!

Just keep in mind the fact that somewhere, someone who counts those beans is trying to force even NASA managers and leaders to rethink the possibilities with spending in mind. My thought? If the public as a collective showed the interest in space exploration that our country showed in the 60's, I think the bean counters would have a lot less to say about how much it cost for us to perform a long term mission plan than the short ones they are still forced to even research and think about...

They should know that it's actually not the pc's that eat most of the power, it's the intial surge between opening and closing of EVERYTHING being turned on at once.... You can configure systems to hibernate instead of shutting down, getting rid of the lovely surge every morning, noon, and night from workers popping in...
