But wariness of the NSA as a software supplier will make it hard for the SIMP cyber security project to attract users. Honey-pot, or recruitment tool?

From the governmental agency that brought you PRISM, it's...theoretically the opposite of that?

Yes.
Decrease the belief in God, and you increase the numbers of those who wish to play at being God by being “society’s supervisors,” who deny the existence of divine standards, but are very serious about imposing their own standards on society.-Neal A. Maxwell
You must accept 1 of 2 basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not alone. Either way, the implications are staggering!-Wernher von Braun

analysis of design predicts properties of implementation
So much for Agile, eh? Agile and design are contradictory terms, in all the Agile shops I've seen.

Doesn't have to be, but you're right.

No. Engineers share the lessons that they learn through error.
(We need to look at / learn from how medicine [^] and aeronautical engineering work to see how far wrong we are)

Roboticists at the Ransselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York have built a trio of robots that were put through the classic 'wise men puzzle' test of self-awareness - and one of them passed. "Just put up your hand and say, 'I swear I won't kill anyone.'"

Can someone please unplug it? Like, now?

What scares me, is when a sentient machine realizes that it can use genetic algorithms to reprogram itself and make itself faster, better, smarter...
New human generations are created every 20 years, and it takes millions of years to evolve.
A machine could evolve at a pace incomprehensible to us. Then let it clone itself and evolve in parallel. My only hope is that the machines evolve the greedy gene and compete against themselves more than the humans.
While this research is valuable and AI should be developed. Reaching the singularity really is letting the demon out of the box.

I recently watched a TED talk on robotics where the speaker denoted that, if you remove all "reward systems" from his robots, they tend toward self-replication as their primary action. Just a little more to think about....
|
|
|
|
|
Human form replicators can't be far behind...
|
|
|
|
|
While this is not self-replication, if you leave a man and a woman in the same room with nothing to do, i.e. no reward system, I posit they would tend to reproduce... and even more to think about, or not.

Microsoft claims that their new Edge web browser beats Google Chrome and Apple Safari, even on the company's JavaScript benchmarks. "Third gear, hang on tight. Faster it's alright"
|
|
|
|
|
So you get to all the things IE complains about your javascript faster than Chrome can say "oh yeah, just do this" and it executes the script?

Speaking a language fluently is impressive, and speaking many languages is impressive, but ultimately, it’s not about the words. "It's not in the words that you told me"
OK, I'm slapping myself for picking that one now.

|
|
|
And therefore it is entirely about the words.

I agree with this, and have made similar claims before myself. Knowing the syntax of a particular language doesn't necessarily make you a good programmer. Understanding core design concepts, loose-coupling, abstraction etc are what makes you a good programmer.
"There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies, and the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. The first method is far more difficult." - C.A.R. Hoare
