"Whupping works for digging ditches, picking cotton or building pyramids, but it won't work for creating and solving third order partial differentiation equations out of thin air." My slashdot geek friends think isaac asimovs I Robot will be here within the next 50 years with nueral nets and the "machines" will be coming up with the new stuff - what time frame do you think is realistic?

Re: Redistribution of wealth, as though it's butter that can be spread around evenly, is a popular democratic process, which doesn't work. Are you kidding me? The latest so-called "energy bill" just passed by the U.S. House is prima facie evidence that income redistribution is alive and well in the good ol' U.S.A. Here, we are completely unabashed about the process. If you are richer than Croesus, as the oil companies are today, income is redistributed to your over-burdened coffers. If you are a mere mortal or merely middle class, or heaven help you, poor.... well, fuggedabout it, you are the designated chump in the grandest wealth redistribution scam the world has ever witnessed. It's welfare for the corporations, and beans for the working stiffs.
