    12:20 12:36 sad the "software" and "100$ laptop" were not named
    can anyone please share the name?

      software is 'squeak etoys'. the $100 laptop become the XO-1. there are some interesting videos on the fate of the XO. squeak etoys can still be downloaded and run on any platform today. lots of interesting ideas in both projects.

    Hm, I dunno, I don't get that math at the end. I agree 30 days = 43,200mins. We can agree we spend $8bill/month. So then, take $8billion DIVIDE by 43,200min EQUALS $185.2K which means we spend a bit over $185,000 per minute in Iraq. I take that and multiply it by 9hours (or 540minutes to be exact) and get approximately $100million (the answer we were looking for)! But in either case, war isn't as expensive as 100mil/18min nor is it as cheap as 100mil/3days. No? Thanx for calculating with me :)

  • @adorianvlad
    @adorianvlad 16 років тому

    yes, you're right. (i did that at 5 a.m., that's my only excuse ;-), so no, I will not bang my head on the wall this time (: )
    I forgot to divide by 8
    4320/8 = 540 min = 9 hrs

  • @dollaresque
    @dollaresque 16 років тому

    I think 100mil dollars is more like 9 hours in Iraq as oppose to 18min. If we spent 100mil in 18min, 300+ mil per hour, we'd hit the 8 billion figure in a day. Even the Pentagon crazies couldn't pull that off.

  • @adorianvlad

    but anyhow, I think that's not the correct assumption, considering that actually US is spending in 1 month $8*10^9 ($8 billion) not in one day, so that means:
    3 simple rule:
    30 days = 43,200 minutes ...$8*10^9
    HMM ... $10^8
    in this case, HMM = 4320 min = 72 hrs = 3 days and not 18 minutes (nor 9 Hours as you are suggesting, dollaresque)

  • @adorianvlad
    @adorianvlad 16 років тому

    dollaresque, I think that Mr. Alan Key meant 1 day, not 1 month
    the 3 simple rule:
    if 18...$10^8
    HMM (How Many Minutes)...$8*10^9 ($8 Billion)?
    HMM = 1440 min = 24 hrs = 1 day

  • @Wintershade3001

    @anfedorov so? if USA can spend that amount of money on waging wars, why wouldn't they be able to spend it on education?
    Oh, right, I forgot. Because that would actually make people *smarter* than most conservative political and religious organisations would like.

    lol, is it just me or is it a touch ironic to go on and on about how useless technology is, and how tech geeks suck, in comments on UA-cam?
    Well, no duh, without the tech geeks there would be no UA-cam and you'd have to rant to yourself.
    ps If you pay attention when you watch this video you might realize its actually about education and learning more than about technology.

    I'm sorry if I caused a misunderstanding, though. I never said or thought anything that would be in conflict with the point you are trying to make.
    I'm not saying one *needs* college to be smarter or more educated, but it sure as heck helps.
    And wasting resources on waging wars, rather than improving the education system sure as heck doesn't help.

  • @Wintershade3001
    @Wintershade3001 11 років тому

    I don't think it's OK to wage any kind of war, and I don't think it's OK to interfere into anyone else's business, be it war or otherwise. You wouldn't like it if someone interfered in your own business, no matter what it would be - your professional career, your faith and culture, or your dispute with your first neighbour. That's your business, and nobody else's.
    As for the history - or any other - lessons being "bullshit", that's an opinion I respectfully disagree with.

    and forget cell phones or TV, you have an account on UA-cam!!!
    for every time you have replied to me, you have contradicted your own message.
    why do you use a computer?
    given its technological complexity, you must be able to find THOUSANDS of flaws in its design. but instead of finding out to innovate where others have flawed you simple boycott and complain. i must say, it is a very stable plan.
