Away

I'm leaving town today for a week, so no more posting until I get back late next week.

Meanwhile, I'm going to take Mixing Memory's lead and ask for requests for biology-related posts (though not because I'm fed up with politics - just because I'd like to write more about science). My main area of knowledge is neuroscience but I'm happy to write about anything that I'm reasonably qualified to talk about. So just leave a comment or email me if you want me to write about, say, stem cells, or genetic engineering, or how neurons work, or anything else, and I'll get on it when I get back.

Andrew,

I wrote a post awhile back complaining about the odd dualism expressed by otherwise reliably materialistic thinkers (like Martin Gardener and Roger Penrose) whenever the question of artificial intelligence rears its fleshless head. That post is here:

I'd be very interested in your own thoughts (whether archived or new) on whether human neurological structures are themselves sufficient to explain human consciousness. And if so, whether you think the engineering of synthetic analogues to those structures is possible.

I suspect this subject will move from the geeky margins to the center of conversation in the decades ahead.

If you're still soliciting topics, how about a post on MMR vaccination and autism? From everything I've read, there is no link, merely anecdotal evidence, but I'd love your take on it.

Thanks!

The latter, Web 2.0, is not defined as a static architecture. Web 2.0 can be generally characterized as a common set of architecture and design patterns, which can be implemented in multiple contexts. bu sitede en saglam pornolar izlenir.The list of common patterns includes the Mashup, Collaboration-Participation, Software as a Service (SaaS), Semantic Tagging (folksonomy), and Rich User Experience (also known as Rich Internet Application) patterns among others. These are augmented with themes for software architects such as trusting your users and harnessing collective intelligence. Most Web 2.0 architecture patterns rely on Service Oriented Architecture in order to function
