Curious about Singularity?

Brendan: agreed, those videos are a lot more fun to watch.

Fortunately I don't have to worry about what Microsoft has
patented, it doesn't apply to Europe.

True, I'm in UK, but I don't want to write code which has troubles being used (or rather modified and distributed, since thats where the problems would lie) on the other side of the pond.

...yet.

That just doesn't feel okay to me, judging a project/product by a title of document about that project/product.

A product is what we Germans would call "Gesamtkunstwerk" - a product of art where all parts are important. A car with 500 PS, 8 seats and a fuel consumption of one glass of water per 100 km wouldn't make people too happy if the only way to control it would be voice recognition in Kantonese, if you get my drift.

Wouldn't that be like riding a common taxi? They can't seem to understand where I'm trying to go - and they drive like idiots too.

... Cantonese ...

[Solar]

...which, given that both are simply transscriptions from Chinese characters, matters about as much as Ju-Jutsu vs. Jiu-Jiutsu. (And in German it's Kantonesisch, with a K. D'oh. ;D )

Erm...

What was the topic of the thread, again?

Darn Jermins

Beats me.

[Candy]

I believe it was about singularities or singularity. Maybe one of these singularities?

[mystran]

I think it was rather about Singular solution.
