And their main priority is reliability, so correctness.

Hmm, did i miss a link?

this paper?

The Problem with Threads http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/Pubs/TechRpts/2006/EECS-2006-1.html

Sorry, Jaime, my last comment was aimed at Pekr..

.... yes, and even I did not understand your point - last line was 
mentioning some shares number. Generally I don't like companies missusing 
weak patent system ...

Jaime - the paper, well. Still need to do some reading. But I do 
remember some liboop link page paper, which referred to another paper, 
where other guys were defending threads and "demystified" myth that 
tasks are better ....

Yes, it seems the benefit of deterministic parallel computation is 
not understood.

If I have 10,000 computations, I might like to send half of them 
to task 1, and the other half to task 2, so they can be processed 
simultaneously by different cpu cores in a multi-core cpu.

Some of those computations may rely on the results of computations 
being performed by the other task, so that means some coordination 
between the tasks is needed occasionally.

Can't find it - but I remember I was moning somewhere surrounding 
following resources - http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html

hehe, it was you Jaime, who posted link to also following article 
- Why events are a bad idea - http://www.usenix.org/events/hotos03/tech/vonbehren.html

so now - are threads a problem, or events a problem? Where is the 
truth ...?

ah, it is about event based aproach vs threading, not task based 
vs thread based one ...

Basically, he argues are lot that threads and shared memory can not 
work,

suggest alternatives Erlang has, mentions Erlang in one sentence, 
and says a real solution must work with mainstream-languages. The 
last point is a good one. But not in our case, because rebol is as 
non-mainstream as Erlang. So we need no hybrids, and lots of this 
arguments are moot.

This diagrams look to me a lot like some things connected by message-streams.

But i do not know how this MapReduce-library etc. works, maybe i 
miss something cool.

Yet another attempt to be able to pull information out of the morass 
that is the WWW: SPARQL
An SQl-like language for turning RDF data into subsetted XML:

If it catches on like RSS has, that'll be another publishing channel 
many websites will need to add.

The release of Syllable 0.6.1 got REBOL on OSNews:

Cool Kaj.

So they've done it - a Skype-enabled wireless phone:

http://us.accessories.skype.com/direct/skypeusa/itemdetl.jsp?prod=3059

I think the important thing is that it is PC-less.  Or, it 's a portable 
PC inside the phone!

I was searching to see if it's linux or pocketpc based?

Sure the hacks will come fast and furious once it launches.. cram 
some Rebol in there maybe?

I want to cram a small skype os into this.. 

http://www.sparkfun.com/tutorial/Port-O-Rotary/portable-rotary.htm

The ultimate .. buy this  http://www.sparkfun.com/shop/?shop=1&cart=673098&cat=1&itemid=416&
(for $399)

and add skype so when you're in a hotspot, you use skype, and cellular 
when out of range.

hmm.. messed up altme.. should say " add skype when in a hotspot, 
and cellular when out of range"

One day, wireless broadband is going to be the rule not the exception.

We have got another competition for View? PythonCard - http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/index.html

The PythonCard motto is "Simple things should be simple and complex 
things should be possible." ... I'm sure I've seen this stated before 
somewhere ;)

http://wufoo.com/demo/<--- pretty nice interface

Really cool interface, javascript dynamism ;-)

Yes, pretty simple and easy interface.

interface is nice, just a bit difficult to place cursor and type 
anything under mozilla :-)

Google are going for an office package

http://www.ajaxlaunch.com/<-- another Michael L. Robertson (of Linspire 
fame) venture.

Graham may want to attend this as well as other programmmers  in 
that part of the world http://www.bluishcoder.co.nz/2006/06/unenterprisey-languages-meeting.html

Bit out of my way .. it's at least a 15 min bus ride into town!

I just tried Google Spreadsheets and I'm not too impressed. Granted 
the interface is simple and there is centralized storage, but the 
thing is slow to work in and dragging cells can get a bit messy if 
you accidentally drag outside the sheet area. this could have been 
done so much better in Rebol.

Looks worth going, if nothing else but to meet new people.

it'd be cool to build a group based spreadsheet that takes advantage 
of AltME filesharing.

Describe please.

I don't know what you plan with AltME filesharing, but I sometimes 
would like a file storage service available centralized that would 
be available for me no matter where I've logged in.

there's not much of an idea in it. I'd just like to see a Rebol version 
of what Google is doing.

I'd bet it could be done much faster and lighter.

maybe it could be done through the viewtop, connect to a rebol/service 
to ask for and store documents. I don't know...
