they will do all your work

DOOMED!!!

Neural networks are old hat now - The flavour of the month is support vector machines

They may even have a role in quantum mechanics, via reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces, although having asked about this on a physics forum I wasn't exactly snowed under with replies

Kissing butt will always be a leading technology

With the greatest respect - bollocks. Tools for the job and atm they serve very well.

I think that has to be the best riposte that I have ever heard. I shall be looking for the opportunity to use it myself.

ok - I was just spewing buzzwords. I have no idea about programming.
But it seems I got some of it right.
Perhaps I am management material then

Make your own future.

All you need is an idea (not being half-baked can help but is far from essential), and a good, well funded, marketing plan.

Armed with that, the world is your lobster and Bob's your teapot.

Simples.

Programming GPGPU (general purpose graphical processing units) systems is the next big thing. 1000 cored "supercomputers" (in today's parlance) will be ubiquitous in 2-3 years. Goodle Nvidia Tesla.

Did anyone else think of The West Wing when they saw the title of this thread?

.. P.S. Also, I found it rather hard to parse your last sentence above, even trying to guess a typo, specifically the bit about "Tests for the job and atm".

Aha, sussed it. The 24 hour rule strikes yet again - Come across some bizarre or novel word, or hear some obscure person's name mentioned, and there's every chance you'll encounter the same within 24 hours. I've encountered it dozens of times.

Anyway, someone at clientco used "atm" in an email today, and from the context I sussed that it stands for "at the moment".
