Man Vs Machine
"The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them."
-- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
In the 1870's the legendary steel driver, John Henry, took on the machine in the form of a steam powered hammer. He won, but at what cost. Fast forward to the late 1990's where one Grand Master of Chess, Gary Kasparov takes on the culmination of hundreds of thousands of man hours in brain power are compressed into a single machine -- IBM's Deep Blue.
Brute force it what the computer does better than any man, yet is that enough to win at chess. Yet, as pointed out in Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer, the Chess Master isn't better at memorizing the individual pieces on a board, the Chess Master is memorized a huge collection of patterns. And he know the significance of each pattern.

Technology and Manufacturing
Bob Dylan thought "Times, they are a changing" back in the 60's. If he were alive today, what would he think about the robotic technology in today's manufacturing. Okay, so he is alive, but that's not the point.
Phrases like "3D Printing" are all the buzz now. WorldSkills International hosts an Engineering and Manufacturing Technologies contest to highlight the State-of-the-Arts in this field.
For an in-depth look, catch Russ Robert's interview with former Editor of Wired and current CEO of DIY Drones, Chris Anderson, on Makers and Manufacturing.

ClickOnce
ClickOnce deployment solves a number of maintenance and logistics issues, while adding a few new concerns. No longer does a warm body need to run around updating PCs.
But how do you update and track various versions? The manifest contains information about a specific version of a ClickOnce application and the various supporting assemblies in a human readable XML format. The "assemblyIdentity" element specifies the primary assembly for the application while the "dependency" element lists all the prerequisites assemblies.
The manifest is also accompanied by a precompiled manifest named *.CDF-MS.
Walkthrough: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xc3tc5xx(VS.80).aspx
Look into using MSBuild to publish the ClickOnce to the Web.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165431(v=vs.80).aspx
For concurrent deployments, make sure to change the assembly name and product name.
