  1. Bill Gates Forecasts Victory Over Spam

    nfk writes "BBC reports from the World Economic Forum at Davos, where Bill Gates said spam will be a thing of the past in two years' time, thanks to a three-pronged approach to the problem: filters, expensive computation for e-mail and the digital equivalent to stamps, paid if the receiver considers he is being spammed. He also expects to catch up with Google, although he praises the company and the IQ of its research team. Finally, he announces mind blowing developments for the next XBox generation and says that, in a decade from now, 'we will laugh at personal computing as we know it.' No need to wait, I do it every day." (We've mentioned Microsoft's sender's-option payment scheme before.)

    j-r charles asks: "I need to design a 12 key keypad that plugs into a PS2 port INSTEAD of the standard PC keyboard. Does anyone knows the protocol used by IBM, or where to find it?" So why stick with the boring old choices of 88 and 101 keys when you can build your own with as many (or as few) as you like. Has anyone built custom keyboards for their PCs? How difficult was it?
