exactly my point.
in europe, there is a clear link between people that are good at speaking english and driving on the left side of the road.
but it doesn't mean that if you start driving on the left side of the road, that you suddenly start to be good at english.
there are probably thousands of similar links that can be found between all winners of elections. you could use this to make predictions, but the poster of the article wondered if people would change the language to influence the results.
changing the language in order to win is like starting to drive on the left side of the road to become good at english because most people who are good at it do that.
"Europeans who oftenly drive on the left side of the road tend to have a better knowledge of English."
That doesn't mean that if you start driving on the left side of the road, that you start to become better at English, or if you'll learn English, that you slowly start to drift leftwards.
"Personally, I'd be more concerned about the privacy issues. Any data on the power lines is essentially being transmitted to anyone with a radio who happens to be able to pick up the signal. "
What do you think that happens with your cell phone for example?
I've always been able to predict upcoming technologies on video cards and gaming consoles by looking at 3d modeling software like 3dstudio. New techniques you see show up there, will show up as hardware solutions some years later.
Things that are normal in 3d software now but are missing in hardware rendering are things like decent refraction, area lights, global illumination, caustics, raytracing. We can expect to see at least some of those implemented in hardware somewhere in the future.
when you buy a ps2 game, you KNOW that it will work on your ps2. you won't have to upgrade parts of the hardware, install the latest drivers, worry about conflicting software/drivers/hardware. and all software will be optimised and tested for the specific hardware, which is not the case with pc games.
you pop in the cd, and you can be 100% sure that it works.
and that's exactly what makes these consoles so popular.
over here you can see some more of the world record of largest game ever. http://clubsupport.info.nl/8073/thuis.htm they connected a computer to the electrical system of the building, wich controlled the lights of every room in the building. too bad the online login to play the game via internet doesn't work anymore:)

it was just an example to show the lack of logic

Never overestimate the pingtime of a station wagon filled with backup tapes.
i'm waiting for Microsoft ASM.NET
no, the disc is 500x500 meter with double sided print.
microsoft invented this years ago.
i myself am not going to use this technology until i can be hardwired to it though.

you're missing the point.
