I think what Giuliano said is that all "good" programmers *understand*
machine language; he didn't say anything about messing with it.  And he
is right, of course; regardless of how "high level" future generations
of programming languages become, *good* programmers will be those who
*understand* programming at any level, not just the high ones.  Sure,
you'll be able to get lots of great stuff done without that, but you
seem to be saying that not being able to do something is better than
simply not doing it.

I was reading over that link on Product Activation, and I can see how this
will involve extra steps (making phone calls to MS, and whatnot) that a lot
of "knowledgeable" folks would have to deal with upon re-configuring their
machines. Personally, I can say that having to call MS everytime I re-do my
machine would get to be a serious pain....

I hadn't been paying much attention to their ".NET"/Activation plans, but
thanks to the enlightenment of this link and thread, I'll start keeping an
eye on it now. I can see that it's implementation will probably irritate
more than a few people!

M$ will rewrite their bloatware more efficiently. More efficient routines
and tighter code in general will produce a faster more reliable product
which they'll market as something new. Benchmarks will encourage the
unknowing to re-invest in what they already have, or more accurately what
they should have been sold in the first place. I wouldn't be surprised if
this was already part of M$'s game plan. Maybe they write tight code and
bloat it up so they've ensured a fall back position for when things go
wrong.

Of course, in wider terms It only puts off the evil day when our current
model of computing technology hits the buffers, but it'll be about 5-10
years away yet.

Heat dissipation isn't a problem. Power transistors dissipating hundreds of
watts have been around for years, decades even. All you need is an adequate
heatsink. Today's cpu coolers are puny affairs compared to coolers for
power amps and high power transmitters. Probably cpus will come bonded to
large slabs of copper, which in turn are bolted to the computer case or
some other heat sinking mechanism. Mount the cpu on the underside of the
motherboard and you can easily bolt its heatsink to the bottom of the
computer case. Nice big heat dissipation area.

Identify the hotspots within the cpu and redesign the layout or add heat
dissipation components to specific locations on the cpu chip. Hotspots are
far more dangerous than the overall amount of heat generated by the cpu.

For the ultimate, attach a refrigerator to the chip. One computer
manufacturer did just that some years ago so they could overclock chips by
50-100% IIRC. Remember the Crays that ran immersed in freon?

The limit to Moore's Law will be reached when the internal transistors,
conductors, etc are so small that inductive, capacitative and crosstalk
effects become significant. Also, there's a danger that when tracks are
atoms wide they'll start to diffuse into the substrate, or they'll be
damaged by the odd passing cosmic ray. Reliability falls.

But by then we'll have either organic computers that will start us on
another Moore's Law cycle, or else we'll have multiple silicon cpus in one
package, 2, 4, 8, 16 or more cpus integrated into one unit that appears as
one cpu to the outside world. Wider data and address buses will also
postpone the inevitable.

Go back and read the Bill of Rights again, this time for comprehension. It
is entirely a set of limits placed on governments (originally, just the US
Congress, but later extended by the Fourteenth Amendment and related court
cases) to prohibit them from infringing on the rights and freedoms assumed
to be inherent in the status of being a free citizen.

Nice try. We have those freedoms now, and (as long as we do not allow
governments to steal them from us) will for a long time to come.

High power RF transmitters using vacuum tubes employed distilled ionised
water as coolant. The water was in electrical as well as thermal contact
with the anodes which could be at 20,000 to 50,000 volts for some megawatt
short wave transmitters. No problems with conductivity. Frequently the
water was pumped round the transmitter buildings as central heating in
winter.

This isn't a code problem, it's a specification problem. Don't try to solve
the wrong problem. (In particular, the Kerberos situation is one where the
specification wasn't specific enough.)

That was Karl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855).
Are you implying that Gauss was not a VERY intelligent man?

Only in comparison to DOS.

Compared to anything else, Windows is comparable to a Formula-1 body
slapped on top of a Ford Pinto with a sand-injection oil system
and water-contaminated brake-lines.

K: Truth in advertising:
        Left Wing Extremists Charles Schumer and Donna Shelala,
        Black Seperatist Anti-Semite Louis Farrakan,
        Special Interest Sierra Club,
        Anarchist Members of the ACLU
        Left Wing Corporate Extremist Ted Turner
        The Drunken Woman Killer Ted Kennedy
        Grass Roots Pro-Gun movement,


J: Other knee_jerk reactionaries: billh, david casey, redc1c4,
   The retarded sisters: Raunchy (rauni) and Anencephielle (Enielle),
   also known as old hags who've hit the wall....

I: Loren Petrich's 2-week stubborn refusal to respond to the
   challenge to describe even one philosophical difference
   between himself and the communists demonstrates that, in fact,
   Loren Petrich is a COMMUNIST ***hole

H: "Having found not one single carbon monoxide leak on the entire
    premises, it is my belief, and Willard concurs, that the reason
    you folks feel listless and disoriented is simply because
    you are lazy, stupid people"

G:  Knackos...you're a retard.


F: Unit_4's "Kook hunt" reminds me of "Jimmy Baker's" harangues against
   adultery while concurrently committing adultery with Tammy Hahn.

E: Jet is not worthy of the time to compose a response until
   her behavior improves.

D: Jet Silverman now follows me from newgroup to newsgroup
   ...despite (C) above.
 
C: Jet Silverman claims to have killfiled me.

B: Jet Silverman plays the fool and spews out nonsense as a
   method of sidetracking discussions which are headed in a
   direction that she doesn't like.

A:  The wise man is mocked by fools.
