And there is Friesland outright, a Province in the North of Holland, known for green pastures with black and white cows and cities full of blue eyed blondes.....
In Roman times the Frisian tribes lived from what is now northern France along the North Sea coast all the way up into Denmark.
In Medievial times there once were to be 7 Frisian Kingdoms (or Islands).
The Flag
not to mention the free speech implications
Oops, the guy lives in the UK, there IS no right to free speach except on a soap box in Hyde Park!
As a matter of fact, there are very few tested individual rights at al in Britain.
You MUST be joking, my girlfriend thought she needed one of these "cool iMAC's" and it's been a headache for her and me till she got rid of it.
Take the memory problems, you install some software and for damn sure it'll crash because the "out of the box" memory assignment is allways way to small.
Take the various installers and say stuffit, they have so many incompatibility issues it's just not funny.
Take drag-n-drop to removeable media, allways guessing whether it's copied or only a link has been placed, Think of the junk (trashcan!) that's quietly put on your floppy/zip
Take mime types, a jpg created in one program will almost certainly not load in another.
iMAC=grief.
But then maybe these things have been adressed in OSX....

I can't really see why flexibility is so exciting
Maybe because it becomes unbreakable?
Maybe because it's easier to put away?
Maybe because you can now attach it to non-flat surfaces?
I thought Patents etc. only remained valid when you actively defended them. This one was filed in 1977 and just 23 years later BT decides they want to enforce their rights.....
In '77 they must have figured no-one was going to use hyperlinks for a licence fee so they just kept quiet 'till we couldn't do without them anymore.
That's just what parents need, a replacement mother that at the same time can be a guard to watch the kid's surfing behaviour.
Much better than that so-called Censor-ware:-)
One of my girlfriends Joselle had to cancel a date with me because her boss inserted a work appointment at the same time, without notice, and she had to obey.
Just the example where a shared calendar should/would come in handy, the 'other party' (boss) could see the other appointment at this time.
The fact he still put his appointment on the same time must mean he had no alternative, asuming he was at least half human....
I travel quite a bit in Europe (including that island off the west coast) and I must say I've seen little evidence of the Minidisk being more than a fringe-gadget.
And the interest of people in copy protected content is an established fact:-), none.
The success of the CD was in the free licencing terms and open specs Philips gave it, every one was encouraged to use it, and they DID, even though the system at that time was much more expensive than the LP or 45.
And that about sums up the future I see in the new device, however nice the technical solutions are.
Reading the responses to the original post I wonder what makes/made this difference between the USofA and Europe on the subject of evolution vs. creation/creationism.
As a regular visitor to of the US I was aware of the existence of an active creationist lobby but to actually find them 'in the wild' on, of all places,/. is for a European somewhat baffling if not disturbing.
The notion of freedom of thought and expression is surely no less in Europe than in the US but within the scientific/technology communities of Europe this (creationism) is a non-topic.

So who says the established and proven methodes are invalidated or forgotten because of new technology.
This type of technology is the much wished for calibrator of existing techniques!
You don't get it: the writer meant the proposed LAW is American-centric.
This in the sense of the electronic world not having the same physical boundraries as the USofA.
This would handicap the law from day one.
Over the years I have had to do a lot of little hacks to get things just right. Now, however, I can take a default 7.1 install of RedHat and she is perfectly happy. All of the little workarounds I used to do myself are now part of a standard distrobution. This is immensely important.
My point!
Just extrapolate this line into the future and I'm fairly sure it'll meet the M$ one and probably cross it in the not too distant future.
The latest versions of Star/Open Office show it to become more and more competitive.

Hmm, for example here in The Netherlands there is a central database where you can register to opt out of this curse, AND IT WORKS!

Just leave it to M$, a new law suit to be settled will be around by then......
Interesting observation!

Talking about periodic tables: When did Natrium (Na in the table) transform in some languages into Sodium?? Or K= Kalium / Potassium?
When I use HTML instead of plain text I've had no problems (so far)
