It was partly about the FHP, Fountain Head Project as well. Great idea, but never came to pass. Found its corpse in a building in RTP one time.

Mv/Eclipse , or sometimes Eclipse/MV, depending on the salesdroid. Wonderful series of big boxen.
I was an FE and SSR for DG before it got snarfed by EMC.

Make all the plastics in the boring colours that are allegedly saf(er). Now EVERYBODY can wear AR glasses, backed by AI, so we see the materials in their intended colours. Charge for a DLC so you can change the colour palette! Ancillary information may be viewed. Hook into your EV cars! And, of course with the birth of this new technology, the inevitable afterbirth will appear: Advertising. ATSC 3 folks can have their evil end accomplished. OK, Zuckerberg et al, belly up to the bar!

Yes, it's a neat idea. But is it really worth the effort and money to try to establish this as a viable delivery service for packages of small mass? The chances for errors are almost endless. This could be the new drop bear, or falling iguana.

This is simply a way to enhance the User Experience to Empower them by having them cooperate in their pwnage.
Obviously, Micro$loth is continuing its effort to encourage the masses, and Make the World a Better Place.

For myself, I've always considered the Auto-Run the tool of Satan.

There's a Level(3) fiber path that runs around the site. They had to reroute the path when it was under construction, and neglected to tell us. Then when I reported a fiber outage, they took 3-1/2 hours to realize that the maintenance was under way and tell me. I'd bet on that being the connection.

If so, that's a very slick solution for semiconductor fabs....

about the assertion "... it isn't even clear if there is a long term future for office suites at all". Does this refer to the movement to the Cloud for office applications? There will long be those who are not willing/able to "Cloud" their operations for various religious, organizational, or practical reasons. Thus, there will be a "long term future". Or so my flavor of Kool-Aid tells me.

When we had -20 degree (Fahrenheit) weather at my University, the main Ethernet switch in the (unheated) wiring closet had its FDDI interface pack up. I just stole a torchiere lamp from a grad student's office and put it under the problem box. No problems, except for the ice on the way home. Incandescence just works!

I take offense to the submitter's implications. Mine has been a great vehicle for building our state's optical network. 172k in 5.5 years, and a lot more comfortable than a Ford Econoline! If Chrysler hadn't discontinued the trusty Cherokee, I'd have one of them, but it really didn't have the cargo capacity of the T&C.

if you'll start creaking as you sit down.

I remember slot cars with great fondness... I think there might be a slot car track still in town.
I still have my Revell set in the garage, but the controllers are MIA.

That being said, how about using a Cadillac power antenna to move the neutron source in/out of a 5W teaching reactor? We had to do that when the safety office wouldn't let us use underclassmen to do it.
