Hi folks,
IBM have produced a manifesto on the need to move to self-repairing and
self-managing computing in order to enable computing for the future. It
centers around the worry that computing is *way* too complex for humans.
With the shortfall of IT professionals now and in the forseeable future we
have to make computers adapt more to humans or else we are gonna have problems.

Cheers,

To the pessimist, the glass is half empty.
To the engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.
