What is your dream project?

your dream application
So you are meaning a software app, right? Actually, I really wouldn't do anything in software. I've pretty much decided that making software applications sucks. However, there is one thing I'd like to do: something like a cross between Star Trek's computer AI (Next Generation) and Minority Report. Marc

Wow, one of CP's old-timers feels the same way I do. Only, I realised it FAR earlier in my life/career than you do.

If someone suddenly offered to finance you a couple of million dollars for you to create your dream application, what would that project be? It has to be something you've always wanted to work on but never had the time or resources. For me, I think it would be the ultimate suite of reverse engineering tools.

I don't know, but it would certainly involve ice cream. And maybe belly dancers.

An application combined with affordable personal electroencephalographic telemetry that facilitates helping "average" people reach some of the "states of mind" possible through deep meditation which current scientific research (on long-time meditators) indicate usually take 10,000 hours or so of practice to attain. Note by saying "states of mind" here, I do not mean "getting high," or "recreational altered states," in any form. I refer to "states of mind" that are inherently stress-relieving, "healing," offer deeply rational and sane insight into the "inner" self (where "deeply rational and sane" are somewhat defined within the context of pragmatic ideas found, imho, most clearly expressed in certain teachings preserved in Theravadan Buddhism as interpreted and "re-vivified" by certain contemporary interpreters). If we gotta send some magnetic fields and/or sound waves and/or sub- or super- audible waves into your brain, that's cool too. You'd have to be licensed to use that technology like you are licensed to drive a car (?) All the revenue (if any) from this project which would be public-domain and open-source would be donated to non-profit organizations who demonstrate that over 90% of their revenue goes directly to help children around the world. best, Bill
"Many : not conversant with mathematical studies, imagine that because it [the Analytical Engine] is to give results in numerical notation, its processes must consequently be arithmetical, numerical, rather than algebraical and analytical. This is an error. The engine can arrange and combine numerical quantities as if they were letters or any other general symbols; and it fact it might bring out its results in algebraical notation, were provisions made accordingly." Ada, Countess Lovelace, 1844
A bit funny and sad that you have to qualify your "states of mind" expression.

Namaskaram, Sri Vikram-ji, Well, if I were in India, posting on hamburgers, maybe I would need to specify the difference between a double-bacon-Whopper and a Big Mac :) best, Bill "raghu pati raghavu raja Ram" : was that how it goes ?

I'd build a house. And by building it, I mean doing it myself (and not just pay someone to do it for me).

A program that works out the optimum way to apply lotion to the Bikini babes. Obviously, there'd have to be lots of hands on work - a lot of research, gathering requirements and the like. It's a dirty, sticky job, but someone's gotta do it.

I can't tell you what my dream project would be - it would clearly violate the kid sister rule!

Speaking of kid sisters, your signature looks like a direct quote from mine. I'm going to print it off and show it to her. AWESOME! :)

Well not so much an app as an os, a bunch of apps and hardware. May as well call it a wishlist: - Code a port of linux aimed at designers and developers. - With a fully functional Adobe Creative Suite 4 app running in it. - Create an affordable high res touch-screen graphics tablet like wacoms new tablet but cheaper. - A Home automation suite of software.

I think I'd like to create an elaborate application which sits on a users machine, and insults them occasionally. It's not something that would cost millions to create, or take a particularly long time to build, but who cares... I'd then take the money and dissappear... In reality though, I've worked in too many places with chronically poor data and IT systems. I'd like to build a good one for somebody. A complete, reliable and easy to use, company wide package. I'm yet to actually find somewhere that has this, and I'd love for somebody to ask me to do one. Not really very exciting, but it's something that I would really enjoy doing. (I suppose it's just me wantin to prove a point) :-D
oooo, the Jedi's will feel this one....

I'd build a computational knowledge engine that would logically prove to executives how and why everything they say is stupid. It would have the unique feature of being able to break down the complicated $6 words like "specifications" into a form that they can actually pretend to understand. This would save programmers hundreds of millions of man-hours around the world.
I have nothing against VB or .NET; all Turing-complete languages are respectable. It just seems that some languages attract one echelon of programmers, and other languages attract an entirely different echelon of programmers. :P
