Do terrorists have distinctive brain patterns that would cause an alarm to go off?
All this does is help to confirm that the passport holder is the person to whom the passport was issued. The 9/11 bombers would all have passed this test, as they were travelling on their own passports.
No, a radio does not count at present in Ireland, though we needed a licence for a radio until 1971. Until recently, there were also separate licences for colour and black-and-white televisions.
Only one licence is required per household (or business premises) regardless of the number of televisions. Of course, if you have more than one household (e.g., a holiday home) you need more than one licence.
The vast majority of households already have a licence, so this change will probably affect very few people. The licence costs Euro 160 per year (about US$210). If you don't have a licence and you have a TV, you get fined about Euro 650 and then still have to buy the licence.
Or my personal favourite: "You know how we said X was critical to the success of the company and how you spent several months of your life implementing it? Well, we changed our minds. Now we think Z is critical. And can you make a few changes to Y while you're at it to make it more like W, so that when we change our minds again next week and resurrect X, Y won't work with X anymore and you'll have to redo X a different way from scratch? Thanks. Oh, and if you can have it on my desk by COB on Monday, that would be good, as I have a status meeting to go before my golf game. How's the documentation coming along? Not good? Nevermind, you can get back to it later."
OK, so I'm reading a little between the lines, but I get that most weeks.
Welcome to the middle of the 19th century! If you think putting cables under water is exciting, wait until you hear about the "light bulb", the "phonograph" and "chewing gum". You'll probably wet your woolens.
Jobfinder.ie should have all you need to find out about IT jobs in Ireland. They have a salary survey (a year or two old) that's reasonably accurate (look under "Career Resources" on the main menu).
Due to the current nature of the economy in Ireland, expect it to take you at least eight hours to get a job in Dublin! Less if you're not fussy. We're the world's second biggest exporter of software after the US. Not bad for a country with only 3.5 million. But then we are Microsoft's distribution point for Europe.
Reasons not to come here: the weather is crap, tax is a bitch, traffic is a nightmare, the price of housing has gone up over 100% in the last few years, the weather is crap, and, in case I forgot to mention it, the weather is crap (unless you like rain).
Reasons to come here: just the chance of seeing the sun once every few years fills you with hope; the beer is good; despite the fact that we're level with Canada's Hudson Bay, it rarely gets below freezing in the winter (average temp. in January is 9C/48F, just right for some nice soft rain); tax is coming down every year; more jobs in IT than you can shake a very large stick at; we speak English (but then, so do the Dutch and the Finns but they have cold winters, it just rains here); the beer is good (well, the socialising around beer is good).
Problem: work permits can be hard to come by if you don't have an EU passport. You mightn't be as free to change jobs as the locals. You could check that out somewhere else. I think they've relaxed things of late.
Oh, in case I forgot to tell you, it rains a lot, so bring an umbrella. You won't need any sun-screen.

If I recall, the Twiddler made its first public appearance at Comdex in 1991 (maybe 1992). I rember seeing it in Byte magazine around then. It doesn't seem to have changed at all over the years.

This word you keep using; I do not think it means what you think it means.

Sure, it's "-1: Offtopic" now that they fixed the article summary. Before that it was "+1: Special Needs Assistance".

There are problably enough of those execs that if the reaction were endothermic, we could solve global warming.

Singer has been advocating this for years, it's hardly breaking news. (See his book Practical Ethics, for example.)
