Hey Hey,

I don't very often post here... and I warn you but I'm about to insult the author of that.... which I assume to be you.

That is the biggest piece of drivel that I have ever read. It's like a 9th grade essay that was thrown together 10 minutes before it was due by a D- student. If I was handed that to grade, I'd tear it up and offer the student a second chance, lest I have to fail him and center him out for his stupidity. If I was presented it in a debate, I would walk away trying to contain my laughter.

I have so many issues with this article that I'm not sure where to start. So I think I will start with the biggest problem. It's ASIMO, Honda's robot is ASIMO not ASUMOV! A simple search on Google would have shown this, how can you comment on the features of something when you don't even know it's name? ASIMO is impressive and has been in development for some time, but how about some of the other robots out there. Sony's Dream Robot, QRIO, can perform the same basic functions as ASIMO and also run, and if it happens to fall, will check itself out and get itself back up. How about the Toyota Trumpet Playing robots. Anyone who's played a brass instrument can tell you the embrasure isn't immediately picked up, to get it perfect you have to work at it. These robots used synthetic lips and lungs in order to play a trumpet and reproduce the correct sounds... These synthetics could have many applications.

I also think you place too much emphasis on man's need for electricity. We survived for centuries without it, many people around the world still survive without it. Have you never been camping? In the summer most people use their BBQ on a daily basis, no need for anything else. Heat? I hope you are kidding, many parts of the world, never experience cold weather, and what most of them consider to be cold isn't cold, it's just whining because they're conditioned to the warmth... It's not a need, it's a desire. Purified water? I grew up within a mile of a freshwater stream, it was small and was purified naturally underground. It fed all the wells of the people around there, and was perfectly safe to drink from... it was tested on several occasions. Just because you've been pacified and babied by living in a city, don't think that applies to everyone. Without electricity we go back to survival of the fittest, you may not be capable of surving, but many of us are.

The normal computer connected to the server can hold
around 1GB (gigabyte or 1,000,000,000 bytes) of RAM (Random Access Memory).
You are saying this on a computer website? If I could only "hold" 1GB of RAM in my PC, I'd be a little upset. The 800GB (of RAM) servers are something else also, I'd love to see a link about this. To me that seems rather excessive and most likely improbable... If I remember hardware class correctly, you'd never accomplish this with a 32bit processor. This would seem a little costly to run 64bit processers for a Video Game Server... especially when they have 800GB of RAM.. (according to the author)

The entire essay jumps around, there's no chronological order and it's almost entirely based on fictional works. Only crackpots and the paranoid take plots from movies and make them realistic in their heads... I hate to say this, but that paper leads me to believe that the author has absoluately no intelligence what-so-ever. Their IQ must be lower than that of my toaster.


Peace,
HT
