  1. Most likely they are out their, of some form, but it is unlikely we will meet them. To understand this, think about how ghastly large the universe is, it is HUGE, really really BIG. Plus, when it comes to the sending out of radio-messages, they only go so far, they do not go on infinetly, so they aren't really that far out.To think that we came from space is in a way demeaning of earlier cultures. We evolved into humans 150,000 years ago, and started out around 5.2 million (upright *person* erectus?).


  2. Technology will never overcome us. It may some day seem to think, it may be faster at making mathematical calculations, but look at the invariable issue it has with image processing.I was listening to an NPR story, and a person said that google could think due to its broad area of information and amazing Page-rank algorithm. Neither of these, in fact nothing we've done with AI, does anything but simulate intelligence. It's not thinking, its making us think it's thinking.


  3. I would wouldnt buy one, a: programming goes in objective c, and I really don't care to learn the language. Its a computer with severely limited applications, so that takes it more out of the running. Apple runs massive DRM, they even do that over the programs you make for the thing. With new tablets coming out from companies like ASUS, that run fully non-restrictive operating systems that are easy to overwrite, I'd go with them, if I wanted such a thing.


  4. I personally prefer to do html, css, and all other coding in my favorite text editor (for me this is emacs). I find it give me more power over how things look, and it doesnt take any time at all to learn how these things work. Emacs on the other hand has a bit of a learning curve, but its not quite so bad. After a day or two's use of html and css you'll definitely get a handle on it. W3school has a great list of all the css and html usages, so thats a one stop stop for all html and php workings. If you want easeir to quickly learn text aditors try notepad++, alost of my freinds swear by it.

    I used Microsoft Frontpage to develop my website but I have read in a number too many places now that frontpage is not worth what it is considered to be. I read at one place that it generates codes that may damage the ranking of your own website. First i did not believe it at all because i found mywebsite working quite nice with no problems on it and still my site has no problems but what has changed and what has made me write this post is the hugely increased number of ant-FrontPage opinions. So i made the discussion open and I ask you to please advise me that should I continue with frontpage or I should change the software.And if I am to change the software which one is going to be the best alternative of frontpage.
