Orthogonally, your aside on Engelbart reminded me of time spent at Palm where the ability of people to learn was always the central design philosophy --people's ability to learn the graffiti notation system over the unsolved at the time (and still largely unsolved) handwriting recognition.

I'd posit that NLS merely had too steep a learning curve -- people still spend 6 months learning to use your product as long as there are useful milestones where you get value all along that curve. (and as long as a competitor can't provide 80% of the value, with a shallower learning curve, as most users will only ever use a fraction of the power of your product)

I *want* to believe, but Diplomatic Immunity sucked.

I think that well might be tapped. (though there are *lots* of stories to tell in the Vorkosigan Universe, its just Miles has reached his natural conclusion)

Just to third, confirmed ejabberd round robin load balancing components. But it *seems* like you could re-use the your presumably more sophisticated (and possibly implemented in hard ware) load balancing infrastructures if you move to s2s.

Of course, sophistication is just another word for more ways to break down :)

Re: squid on the mantlepiece.

And undermine the otherwise loud clanging signaling that this was the first installment in a movie dynasty?
