Rudy Rucker just gave a fascinating talk at Dorkbot about computation, cellular automata, along with some short stories, another great reason to live in San Francisco!

I don't know what's worse, how much damage forgetting to make a base class destructor virtual can cause, or how long it can take to spot that that's the problem (boundschecker completely missed it)

In Randy's PaSSAIP entry he says "XML-RPC method calls cannot be expressed in WSDL and I'm pretty upset at Microsoft and IBM for this failure.". Huh ? why is this a Microsoft & IBM failure ?, WSDL is extensible, just write an XML-RPC binding and off you go, its been discussed many times in the past.
