In the subway of Seoul wifi has been available to passengers for years. Three public companies (olleh, offer wifi in the subway and many other public places for a price as low as 8000 krw (about 8 USD) per month.
I am Dutch, and our language is probably one of the hardest languages to learn (when you are not born here).
I learned Korean a few years ago. I was easy and very consistent. (we should all switch to hangul ^^ )
What actually makes it difficult to communicate are the huge cultural differences between the West and East.
[not to be taken serious]
How many Americans do you know that can speak Dutch?
How many Dutch have you seen in this thread alone that speak English??
It is the better educational system in the Netherlands that took care of that ^^.
So give your kids the best, and come here.

E.g. suppose you need a pasword and a one-use number (from a list of magic numbers the bank gives you) to do a transfer. [this is how it is in some parts of Europe].
The problem in Korea is, you only have a one-use number.
When you sign up for your account you get something like a creditcard with a couple of numbers printed on it.
While in Europe you get something that looks like a calculator in which you have to insert your bankcard, enter your pincode and then you get the one-use number.
So in Korea they skip the pincode step, which makes is a lot easier to access somebody's bankaccount once you got his card.
Instead of spending millions on stupid elections, they could have better spend it on Bill's children vacination programm.
It's good to see that there are people out there who don't sit on their fortune, but do something good with it. Way to go Bill.

One of the potentially great scifi movies of 2012. Read the book by David Mitchell before the movie is out.
NASA Space Center in Houston. See a Saturn V rocket and Mission control and several other marvels of wonders.

But what if the radiation of their chakra's interferes with my wifi network?
But isn't that true for everyone who moves to another country?
You might like it there, but it is not home.
And you know what they say about home...sweet home.

Would have made more sense to me anyway.
Right, how could they forget the ultimate in space movies?
It has all the elements the other movies have and more.
Lets start or own list.
#1 Spaceballs

Which flash drive has a big enough capacity for that??? :-)
Anyway, everything is stored in central computers anyway, who needs backup?
That is all I need
Next year it will ;-)
or maybe if you find the 'leaked' dev release.
Before I download it....does it run on systems with an AMD processor that is equal to an Intel G4???
doesn't need to ask a question like this on slashdot (or anywhere else)....
If you were a real proffesional you would build your own optimized linux distro.
South Korea that is.
Highspeed internet access without borders.
And the food is great too.

Old people can't handle it well though :-)
Still it would be a nice idea.
A keyboard which you can hold in your two hands, and you only need two thumbs to type....
I always thought that one was pretty standard as well.
Not that I use it.
Most of the time I type on a ¼î-keyboard.
I like the way Koreans map their keyboard. Vowels under one hand, consonants under the other.
But your player can not be used with the nicest music store out there......
:-)
Guess you have been a bad boy, because Santa didn't give you an iPod
