Link to Chapter 1I understood the differences between what application developers wanted to do and what the “artificial intelligence” technology of the late 1980s supported. They were not the sort of differences that one might use to contract to update a software application. What had been, in effect, a broad survey of application needs resulted in a snap-shot of a more basic set of technical requirements. This snap-shot taught me much about the path of development of software technology generally, decades into the future. Much of that future would evolve with or without me, as developers pushed to realize their...

The economy is the most important issue for the 2010 election. Here is a video diary of important economic facts from the past, present and future (yes, future...what if we continue with the bailouts, government waste...will China own us?)

THE CLINTON ADMIN. USED THE MEDICARE REGULATIONS TO GO AFTER THOSE OPPOSED TO HILLARYCARE In the early 1990s, Rick Scott was one of the most vocal critics of Hillary Clinton's health care plan (a.k.a. HillaryCare). Under Bill Clinton's administration a myriad of ambiguous and complex Medicare regulations were created. Full compliance was not feasible. It was more a game of gotcha and revenue than of law enforcement. The government was criticized in the media for classifying simple mistakes as “fraud.” Dozens of prestigious health care institutions paid millions in fines, including Yale Hospital, Duke University Hospital, Harvard University Hospitals,...

Did you know? - Rick Scott was never indicted or arrested. Simply, he was never charged with any crime. - Prosecutors never attempted to depose Scott nor found evidence he was directly involved in the fraud: Peter Chatfield, who spent seven years working on a Columbia-HCA civil case brought by two whistleblowers, said that deposing Scott was not a high priority for the case. "His e-mails were mostly motivational." "After sifting through years of discovery documents, Chatfield said he never had a feel for whether Scott knew of any wrongdoing." - The convictions were tossed out for the only...

ALEX SINK IS INDEED AN OBAMA LEFTY (This is an axcerpt. Full article here.) In 2008, the media and pundits told us that Obama was a moderate. But Obama has taken this nation sharply to the left.

Saturday, October 30, 2010 Abortion rights groups play both sides in IL U.S. Senate race Abortion rights groups far surpass pro-life groups in campaign contributions to political candidates, OpenSecrets.org writes today.  It's pretty troubling and discouraging for pro-lifers in Illinois that both of their U.S. Senate candidates are on the list of the nation's top 20 biggest abortion dollar recipients in 2010.  So, no matter who's elected November 2 -- Mark Kirk or Alexi Giannoulias -- the abortion industry will be happy.  OpenSecrets.org also lists the top 20 candidates getting prolife group backing, of which three from Illinois are included: former U.S. Senate candidate...

The President’s favorite think tank, the Center for American Progress (CAP) is so anxious to help the White House reach its goal of 60 percent of the population with college degrees that they are considering high school dropouts as likely targets for recruiters. It should be noted that colleges are already trying to bring back their own dropouts to increase attendance at their institutions, according to The Chronicle of Higher Education. U. S. Under Secretary of Education Martha Kanter enunciated the 60 percent benchmark at a recent CAP meeting. “Reaching a 60 percent attainment level is a challenging task, requiring...

There has been quite a lot of talk from pro-Internet regulation groups about why Net Neutrality is so important, but it’s been suspiciously absent from the left’s campaign talking points – until now. Today, a group of 95 Democrat candidates signed a vague and inaccurately worded pledge promising to regulate the Internet. Organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, the pledge promises to enshrine Net Neutrality rules into law that would allow the Federal Communications Commission to regulate how data flows across the Internet. The left wants you to believe that a lot of Democrats support Net Neutrality, but with...
