The story reminds me of my diploma, which I wrote at IBM Germany. Ah, the good days....
I have never worked with people like that - highly skilled and very friendly and approachable. As a group very concentrated, but very relaxed as individuals. Wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that that experience has defined what I view as professionalism.
Is it like the german videotext?

Just had to think of my father-in-law, who recently got a laptop, DSL flatrate... and an USB tv tuner so he could watch his stocks and the football scores in four windows.
I was just speechless! To go at such length and spend so much, just to replace the TV!
I've usually got about 800-300Mb free on my 20Gb Karma. 20Gb is much too little for a music-lover - and I even have everything ripped to q3 (~112Kb)ogg!
I try to rotate the songs, but that means I always have to decide what not to listen to...
My gf told me that passive heating in houses is being offered for years and years. The technology is there - it just won't catch on. Why? Because, for one, you can't even open a window to let fresh air in - it would disrupt the heat cycle. Oh - and that people don't feel comfortable with styrofoam walls. And that the kitchens are usually in the middle and have no ceiling, etc...
He says that IBM thinks: "Hey, because of our global services business, we can cobble things together and try to veil that for the customer and deliver solutions."
"Cobble"... "veil"... Ouch, that hurt real bad. Can it be this guy bears a grudge against Big Blue - just a bit?
I noticed that one of the employees in the article is in the architectural business. My gf is doing an internship at a studio, often working 50h weeks for 350 a month and no vacation or benefits. She's competing with graduated architects which offer to work for free because it's so hard to get work. He coworkers burn the midnight oil and push 60h week. This is in Germany, where the average working week is 49,5 hours.
My mother is 57 and unemployed. Next year she might be forced to work for 1 per hour.
What a coincidence - I've just teamed up with a friend a few weeks ago to make some electronic music. Right now we're in the getting gear/arranging things stage.
I can't believe it - we have a distribution channel already before we even have gotten a song finished!
> A novice's greatest fear is sitting in front of a motionless command prompt with no idea what to type Well, my greatest fear back when I was a n00b in '94 was if I got everything in fdisk right when trying to do a dual-boot install.
It got worse when I realized I mucked up the first time around!

Read from the site: "Ubuntu" is an African word, meaning "Humanity To Others"
Oh, yeah, right. And which one of the 1000 languages spoken there might it be?
I call shit, which means "shit" in European.
Someone above here must have a problem with english syntax...

Kurzweil did sometimes strike me as being infatuated with technology in general and very optimistic regarding the future.
He is right in one regard, that the tendency of exponentional growth can't be slowed down, even if grey goo would kill most of us off.
