    "Cebit 2004, the largest IT fair in Europe." Funny. Here we say that it is the largest IT fair in the world (www.heise.de) !

      It is the largest IT fair of the world, if you count the numbers of the exhibitors, the number of the visitors, the area of the fair and the gross yearly revenue of all participating entities.

    Apparently you haven't met a European woman since the Dark Ages, right? Why are Americans so unbelievably ignorant about Europe so that they honestly and truly believe that women do not shave their legs or wherever? I've heard about "ignorance is a bliss," but this is getting ridiculous. Get rid of your prejudice.

  5. Motorola pricing for their new phones... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Informative

    Man, did anyone see the pricing for the Motorola Windows phones? $920 in the US for the benefit of running Windows?!?! Give me a Linux phone any day. Estimated cost: $50 for the parts :-)

  6. Everything that can be invented.... by D.+J.+Keenan · · Score: 4, Informative
    Remember the quote from the patent office in 1899, something along the lines of 'Everything that can be invented has been invented'?
    This letter to The Economist gives different perspective on that old story:
    It is an historical myth that the commissioner of America's Patent Office recommended it be abolished in 1899. Rather, he asked for a funding increase because of the heavy load of applications, arguing that anyone who would deny him additional funding must believe that "everything that can be invented has been invented."

    It's interesting, too, to see how little times have changed since then--the patent office saying that it was overloaded and needed more resources.
