Mr. 0.000000001% (or others):
Could cuneiform be easily used on a reasonably sized keyboard? And how fast is it to write, once you know all the characters?
It seems to my unformed eye that many ancient languages use complicated character sets that are good for a highly trained elite, but not good for use on machines. Could this be an exception?

Well, yes, having your urethra fused and your testicles burst into flame could cause sterility. futher...
>It is utterly and completely harmless (except to >magnetic media... Is that what you call it?
Anyway, this may be useful:

Even if the numbers added up on this deal, social factors are prohibitive.
All the major wind farms I've seen are in remote and undesirable areas.There are two related reasons for this. First, the land is cheaper. Second, and more importantly, it avoids the unholy bitching that happens when you do anything industrial near somebody's house. I think a modern windmill is a beautiful thing, but nobody else does.
Windmills will only be useful in a distributed, efficient grid. That, and good for disposing of morons and Darwin worthy birds.

P.S. Has anybody ever gotten into trouble for abusing a cell phone jerk in a theatre? What is the penalty for 3rd degree public service, anyway?
For God's sake call up the guy that is trying to make this work and tell him about your experience.
I don't have the knowledge to argue from a technical viewpoint, but I know leverage when I see it! If it gets him cheaper MS crap, so much the better, it is cheaper on its own, great. I'm sure the tax payers will love it either way.
This could make getting interrogated by the CIA a lot less, or more, depending on which way you go, fun.
So does this mean that the man that made Lady Justice put on a top now regulates our friends at http://www.trojancondoms.com?

So with this idea we have the beginnings of Simstim (Neuromancer)?
