In Bangkok, a cash machine robbed my card. A couple of seconds later, I was amazed to find a Windows dialogue box telling me iexplore.exe has crashed! What nutter designs a cash point using IE as the interface. It was literally a touch screen device, and you could click on links.
Not really funny since my card had a huge bill rang up on it in a matter of hours (yes, I did cancel it!) presumable by the guy who services the machine!
They obviously think.NET is strong enough to warrant this -- and if you think it's rubbish, then they're only shooting themself in the foot!
Seriously though -- in a way it's better than giving it away with copies of Visual Studio.NET because then every second web site out there would be Passport authenticated etc... Hell, raise the price to $500,000!!!!!
If a company is asking for money from people, it's akin to begging. And we all know that begging is not really a viable business model (Some Big Issue sellers migth tell you otherwise though!)
Simply put, they're telling the world they're strapped for cash and that they don't really have a clue how they're going to make any either.

Their show in general lacks the over the top behavior of the American counterpart
I think most Brits, and indeed most Europeans are very glad of this. People in Europe don't tend to like the "Yee-hah" attitude many US programs show, especially with those really annoying WWF style "scream in your face" style commentators!

I don't know why, but OS/380 sounds like a skateboarding game!
but seriously, it doesn't matter a damn what they call it since the people who will be buying it know what it is underneath and won't be swayed by a name.
We had OSF/1, Digital UNIX and Tru64... and god knows how many more variants of that!

I'm not so sure -- it seems like a legit question. It wouldn't be modded down if it asked "Should I use Linux instead of Windows for a NAT server"

Why on earth has this been moderated as a "troll" -- just because he suggested something might do a better job than Linux.
I seriously think some people here think that Linux would make a better vacuum cleaner than a Hoover branded one!
There a are some people at CMU doing this. Their main interest is with Carbon-60 -- but they do work with other molecules such as samarium-cobalt, neodymium-iron-boron, cobalt-boron-silicon, tungsten carbide, silicon carbide, europium and gadolinium. They're right at the cutting edge, experimenting with all minds of materials that show any promise.
It seems a little like supersonductors... you just have to keep trying new materials.
There is a good article about BuckyBalls from First Science here as well
Who is English? Not me! I just live in England. I admit, that choice may make me stupider than actually being English... but none the less, I am not English.
A job, espectially a tech job in a Government is asking for trouble.
You will always be on a tighr budget, which means you won't get to keep yourself on the cutting edge. The work will not be exciting becuase of this low budget, and therefore job satisfaction will be low.
Also, Governments are notorious for paying low. A consultant from one of the big 5 will earn big money, and while working for the government will be more demanding, you would be lucky to earn half of what hot-shot consultants would. Very lucky.
Working for a government requires lots of patience, lots of waiting for funding and a huge amount of frustration. However, some people love it. Can't think why.

Sounds like a fair game to me...

It's sort of weird... data and electricity sharing the same line -- the phrase "information is power" rings errily true here!!
But, if information is power, and power corrupts, does this mean we're going to have unreliablt data connections over these lines :)
No, you're thinking of Mr. Bic. A French chap, I think.

I can assure you that is absolutely not true.
Looks pretty cool stuff... I wonder if there are many places doing stuff like this.
I found these mighty useful...

That would be IEEE1394 you are thinking of. There doesn't seem to be such thing as 1384, accoring to the IEEE web site.
Not really, because then it would be OS/z

In the UK, BT is holding back ADSL because of marketing reasons -- ie. it can make more money from dial-up.
Isn't it a particular molecure (fullerene) which is the buckyball?
But as this advances further than the Silicon counterpart, it paves the way for some huge research, specifically in Quantum Evolution.
I do quite a bit of study in Quantum Cryptography (I ain't no prof. though!) , and wonder how this all fits in.

I could scramble it by snapping it in two.

I think this is one Britain should leave to everyone else... how about they figure how to stop their trains falling off the tracks every day first.
Umm... doesn't multiple interconnected internet's just equal 1 internet?
