Last spring I chose between an MP3-player and a Minidisc player, and the choise fell on Sony MZ-N707 NetMD. It's absolutely wonderful. I transfer about 5 hours of music onto one disc, the transfer speed is definetly ok, never had a skip. All in all, I've got nothing bad to say about it, and people looking for descent portable music players should at least concider the NetMD players.
I've used the Ultimate Band List quite a lot over the years, and found their "Related Artists" and "Related Genres" recommendations very useful. Definatly worth a visit.
I have tried something that, granted, was not quite so spectacular, but pretty darn cool anyway.
In the Andees (Bolivian andees) there are a few places with active volcanoes, that have hot springs where the water is boiling. We cooked lamb in them that turned out quite excellent:)
As I said, not as spectacular, but still pretty... exotic.. for a buy from Sweden
Nokia used Linux, Mozilla and XFree86 as the platform for their now-dying MediaTerminal, and launched the OST Development network (The site seems to be dead).
It actually looked as a very promising project, shame they charged almost $1000 for it:(
After IBM started charging for WebSphere on AS/400 (I think it was after V5 was released) we switched all our development to Apache/tomcat, and strangely, this is what IBM recommends. IBM ships apache and tomcat with OS/400 and it works like a charm.
We just deployed a servlet/jsp application on the AS/400 last week and we're just about finishing another major application for deployment next month.
Performance-wise we've seen very little difference between WebSphere and tomcat, at least on iSeries, though I can't really speak for other platforms.
The Nokia Media Terminal was supposed to be launched in the second quarter of 2001, then by the end of 2001, now... who knows.
Actually, it's already available in Sweden, and I guess the rest of Europe, though at a price of 8.495 SEK (~ $1000), I can't imagine they sold many of them...
Yes, the english word closest to the meaning of "lagom" would be moderate, but I would say translate it as "Just enough to make you satisfied".
For example, at the dinnertable someone asks you how many meatballs (;)) you'd like, a good answer to that would be: lagom, meaning just enough to make you full.. (And the person giving the meatballs to you is expected to know how many)
One of my collage professors is currently working on a project named WITAS, an autonomous flying vehicle.
They're currently focusing on traffic supervision (The thing can search the roads for a specific car and follow it around and some other cool stuff) but supposedly theyr're also looking into other applications (such as fire monitoring and some other things)
Apparently, from what I understood from his lectures and from talking to him, they've been talking to, among other cities, Los Angeles, about using the helicopter for monitoring traffic gridlocks and things like that.
The human operator is able to communicate with the helicopter by talking to it, and the helicopter replies! It's really neat, check out the webpage for more info. They still have about 3-4 years to go on the project.
Well, it isn't really a console, but Nokia is doing some pretty neat stuff with their Media Terminal which is based on Linux/Mozilla...

Playing Quake 3 with the remote was kind of wierd though:)

It stirred up quite the debate here in Sweden
