If I had mod points you'd get them. It's so tiresome dealing with these know-nothing children who think the PC platform is the solution to ALL computing needs. When all you have (or in this case, understand) is a hammer, I suppose all problems look like nails.
What do you define as a legacy operation? "Legacy" is a term of abuse coined by those who want to make their technology seem better just by virtue of being newer. There are plenty of modern languages being used on midrange and mainframe systems -- Java, C++ and others.

I used to do the same when ordering products from the US (I'm Irish), mostly L.P.s (remember them!?) in the late 70s and early 80s... beg the supplier to mark it as a "gift" to avoid paying customs tariffs. It rarely worked unfortunately. I knew about Austria being part of the euro (oy-roh!) zone, which is why I questioned their continued use of price quoting in shillings. I didn't know about Croatia using the Deutsche Mark, though -- that is interesting. I wonder -- how do they control money supply and interest rates and so forth when they don't issue the currency they use?

You don't want any friends other than Americans? How limiting.
Why quote Austrian shillings? Are those even valid currency any more? (A European living in the US who has yet to see a physical euro note, having last been in Europe the day before the currency was introduced).
Why would it not be under Ashcroft's control? He's A.G. -- I am sure existing laws would allow him to jack into your little cloud cuckoo land network as much as he wants. Are you on drugs?
I worked in Paris in the early 1990s and set up a system whereby our AS/400-based parts ordering system (for Molex Corp) was made available to our customers over Minitel, using some sort of Gateway PC solution. It was cheap, easy and reliable, and the clients loved it. A friend of mine worked on Minitel systems in Ireland around the same time, but Minitel never really took off there.
What in the name of Jesus are you talking about? Open source? And what the fuck is that JavaDrugs nonsense you're spouting? Go lie down and sleep it off you idiot.
Now that I think about it, all Irish bathroom switches are pullcord too... I'm guessing we just cribbed the British standards wholesale. Why the pullcord? To prevent a shock from the switch? I know nothing about electrical wiring so please dumb it down for me...
UK-standard plugs are without a doubt the best I've ever seen. The ones over here is Amerikay are crappy little two-prong things that barely sit in the wall socket.
Nonsense. Ireland is not switching to driving on the right. The costs of rebuilding roundabouts, intersections, replacing signage, etc., would run into hundreds of millions of euro. Since we share a land border with the UK (Northern Ireland), that would only complicate matters further.

Made it look nice? With that honking USB connector wrapped around the wrist strap? Why not brand the word "NERD" across your forehead?
Most employees don't get to choose what projects they work on, unfortunately. Good idea, though.

Even if this were feasible using 802.11x, how exactly would a single connection result in "too cheap to meter" Internet?
"gateway", not "Gateway". The supplier referred to it as a Transpac PC, IIRC.

Oh for Christ's sake. Any decent IDE (Eclipse, for example) will generate accessor / mutator methods for member variables.
Henry, Henry... weeping over a programming language? You need to get out more!
I'm a J2EE developer and I have to agree with the parent... most of this stuff is just fluff.
6502 machine language was awesome. It is the only machine language I ever learned... and it was FUN!

I don't think it's all that strange to access EJBs from Swing... perhaps the end-users demanded a UI richer than a browser-based UI.
