Although not personal, Chicago O'Hare has something similar I remeber, moving from one terminal to another. Also the Helsinki metro will most likely move to automated trains (without drivers) an a few years.
The electric bill should also be smaller, hopefully. I've replaced all my lightbulbs with energy saving versions. Haven't really calculated how I save per year but I estimate it to be quite much.
Wiki is nice but a hammer is not always the best tool even though when you have a hammer everything seems to be solvable by using the hammer:) So I don't really see the point of this OMFG NO WIKI discussion.
I don't think corporate users are the main target at the moment for Google (nor will they ever be I think). I think it is the home users who do not want to fork up for $$$ or for an office suite. Google has always targeted the small users which there are more of than corporate users and which in the long run will bring in more money than then corporate users.
Yes and it's called covering ones ass. If they miss one their heads will be on silver plates and the public will go apeshit over the incident. Or more likely the media. The public doesn't understand or don't care.

So you're saying that it's not the brightest bulb in the universe, it's missing some cards from a full deck, the elevator doesn't go to the top, the car is running but no one is behind the wheel?
I don't remember where I read it but it suprise suprise costs more to develop new code than trying to maintain old code even though it may be in a horrible condition. The same seems to go for bugs and security holes.
Well, at least if they're doing this they're not passing 'real' laws, right?
I once asked my father when visiting his workplace as a kid why they had so many magazines and newspapers. His answer was that those who do damage and cannot perform can read while those that do good and can can work in peace not having to worry about the others.
Slashdot Mirror
.. welcome our jumping robotic overlords. It had to be said.
The article says it's going to be open for 2 months. Why not longer? Information doesn't want to be public?
