  • Urging All of Us to Open Our Minds and Hearts So That We Can Know Beyond
    CHAPTER 1 HOLISTIC READING We have left the land and embarked. We have burned our bridges behind us- indeed we have gone farther and destroyed the land behind us. Now, little ship, look out! Beside you is the ocean: to be sure, it does not always roar, and at times it lies spread out like silk and gold and reveries of graciousness. But hours will come when you realize that it is infinite and that there is nothing more awesome than infinity... Oh, the poor bird that felt free now strikes the walls of this cage! Woe, when you feel homesick for the land as if it had offered more freedom- and there is no longer any ―land.‖ - Nietzsche Each man‘s life represents a road toward himself, an attempt at such a road, the intimation of a path. No man has ever been entirely and completely himself. Yet each one strives to become that- one in an awkward, the other in a more intelligent way, each as best he can. Each man carries the vestiges of his birth- the slime and eggshells of his primeval past-… to the end of his days... Each represents a gamble on the part of nature in creation of the human. We all share the same origin, our mothers; all of us come in at the same door. But each of us- experiments of the depths- strives toward his own destiny. We can understand one another; but each is able to interpret himself alone. – Herman Hesse 1 In this chapter I suggest a new method of reading, which I call “holistic reading.” Building on the spiritual model of the Self offered by Jiddu Krishnamurti and the psychological model of “self” offered by Dr.

  • & Electrical Engineering
    COMPUTER ARCUTECTURFL Gordon Bell Vice President, Engineering Digital Equipment Corporation & Professor of Computer Science & Electrical Engineering Carnegie-Mellon University (on leave) Abstract Minimal cost computer designs ( i.e. minicomputers) are predicated on using technological cost-performance improvements which occur at an annual rate of 25-305. New applications are thereby feasible with the decreasing costs. A significant number of minicomputers are manufactured in which the cost is constant (or rising), thereby providing more performance (capabilities). The higher performance machines "taket1 their characteristics from the larger, general purpose camputers (e.g. floating point arith- metic, multiprocessors, cache memories and memory management) . The origin and evolution of the minicomputer will be discussed with regard to technology and applications. 7 17178 THR PDP-I? FAMILY AND VAX-Ill780 FOR A LARGE VIRTUAL ADDRESS Gordon Bell Vice President, Engineering Digital Equipment Corporation & Professor of Computer Science & Electrical Engineering Carnegie-Mellon University (on leave) Abstract In the eight years the PDP-11 has been on the market, more than 50,000 units in ten different models have been sold. Although one of the system design goals was a broad range of models, the actual range of 500 to 1 (in price and memory size) has exceeded the design goal. The PDP-11 was designed and first implemented to be a mall minicomputer. Its first extension was to a bigger physical address, memory segmentation for multiprogramming and for higher performance. This part of the talk will briefly reflect the experience in the design process, comment on its success from the point of view of the goals, and its use of technology.

  • Intellectual Property Rights in an Age of Electronics and Information
    Intellectual Property Rights in an Age of Electronics and Information April 1986 NTIS order #PB87-100301 Recommended Citation: U.S. Congress, Office of Technology Assessment, lntellectual Property Rights in an Age of Electronics and Information, OTA-CIT-302 (Washington, DC: U.S. Govern- ment Printing office, April 1986). Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 86-600522 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402 Foreword This report examines the impact of recent and anticipated advances in com- munication and information technologies on the intellectual property system. It focuses primarily on the Federal copyright system, and on the continuing effec- tiveness of copyright law as a policy tool in the light of technologies such as audio- and videorecorders, computer programs, electronic databases, and telecommuni- cations networks. To obtain a comprehensive view, the study examined the intel- lectual property system from a number of perspectives: the constitutional basis of intellectual property policy; the system’s goals, laws, and economics; the crea- tive environment; problems of enforcement; the international context; and the Fed- eral role in administering intellectual property rights. OTA found that technological developments are affecting all aspects of the intellectual property system. Moreover, because we are only beginning to move into the era of electronic information, the full impact of new technologies will not become fully apparent for some time. Fundamental changes are occurring in in- formation technologies that will antiquate many of the policy mechanisms now in force, and bring new intellectual property problems requiring new solutions. Thus, even if Congress acts now in response to current problems, it will need to be prepared to act again within the next decade.
