I don't know what you call the 3G, but here in
Finland it currently stands for GPRS (General
Packet Radio System). You can see the
really fast WCDMA in the blurred future
only.
In Finland the maximum bandwidth of GPRS networks will be something like 20 - 30 kilobits per second during the next few years. This is due to the lack of advanced coding schemas (the starndards are here for up to 155kbps but no-one
has implementations) and not allocating all 8 timeslots of the communication channel for GPRS (this will, however, not be the case in other countries shere GSM is not used as much as here). However, if they really have the WCDMA working it's something very cool. And bloody expensive.

My goal is to be useful to either yourself or the others. This means to produce software that makes life more funny or easier.
Hacking an ultra fast kernel is nice, yes, but the real thing is to know that there's thousands of people saving time and money by using your program..
Consider this: Pictures of you and the lady from next door having fun is being posted to a public site. However legal it would be to have them publicly accessible YOU wouldn't like the situation.
There's no point in arguing just because it's Microsoft. It's clear that the posters have done something they shouldn't have done. By helping to correct the situation SlashDot would show it is a site of honour and worth respect.
And no, I don't work for MS, it's just that I have a little humanity left.

How do you apply that paradigm?
You get in the bedroom but never touch you wife since you can find your way to the shower without?
Purely functional programmin must be the thing I need in my sexlife - no side effects, you know.
I agree on this - the press and marketing just doesn't.
