Well I don't know about the Soviet Union but I do know about Romania:
Despite its isolationism, Romanian IT was largely based on Western technology. However, there was a major technological lag between Romanian-produced hardware and that available in Western nations. The mainstays of Romanian production during the 1980s were minicomputers:
the Felix C, licensed from the French Iris-50, which was compatible with, and
based on, the Honeywell Bull C11;
the Independent which was compatible with, and based on, the DEC PDP/11;
the Coral which was likewise an unlicensed relative of the DEC VAX 11/730.

This one is actually a "trupe", just look at the comments from your link of people complaining that it's a dupe. Maybe this is advertising in disguise after all?
I guess that although FireWire is no longer supported for transfers, you should still be able to use the old wall charger with FireWire. No one wants to spend $29.00 for something you used to get for free.
And don't even get me started on the AV cable...
Yes, I think they should have included Europe, though it's not a country yet.
Editors: please correct the article description, it should say DBMS, not DMBS. Apologies to Dave Matthews Band fans.
the contest is intended for presentation in the united states, canada (except quebec province), mexico, india, china, the united kingdom, australia and new zealand. do not proceed within this site if you are not a resident of one of these countries.
(the lameness filter is lame)
No wonder the winners are from India.
Imagine a Mac Minicluster running Apple's xGrid software. Start with a 16-port fast Ethernet switch and stack 16 Mac Minis on top. That's a 720 gigaflop micro-supercomputer that costs less than $9,000, can fit on a bookshelf, and can be up and running in as little time as it takes to connect the network cables. High schools will be sequencing genes.
I believe Mr. Cringely has been reading too much Slashdot...
It should work just fine across the world - the 'local' search is only one of the features.
The advertised number is a shortnumber i.e. it gets expanded by your operator to something else. If someone would be so kind as to provide the full number, the whole SMS-enabled world can use the services.

Actually that is the surefire way to get your laptop confiscated. If it doesn't boot up, it stays there for 'further research'.
I'm not sure what kind of keyboard you have, but on my IBM clicky that's simply not true. Caps Lock makes a wonderful control key if remapped.
Worse than that - they are the anti-terrorist unit. I guess you've heard this one before - filesharing is sponsoring terrorism.
I'd love to be in the room when they cover that.

Is this what they were doing on Lost, with the alarm every 108 minutes? That opens up a whole lot of intepretation...
If you don't understand what the Combine were and where they came from then you probably didn't finish the game. You should try it, it'll be fun.
Yes, so that's how they implemented the Evil bit.
I like this one much better http://news.harmony-central.com/Newp/2005/Hughes-K ettner-Tube-Clock.html
Plus it's about the same price
You owe me a new keyboard...
I read it the same way, images of "Mad Scientist" Microsoft conjured...

MF COBOL will work just fine under Linux, with everything included. You may even port the binaries if they are compiled as .int

How good is OpenOffice's handling of Japanese? Perhaps Ichitaro can help into establishing it as the platform of choice in Japan.

Webex works with Firefox, I use it frequently. As for the bug tracking system, perhaps he should try a more recent JRE?
The X31 unfortunately does not have this feature. It is present on the X41.

Why is the offer limited to US companies? Does it have anything to do with software patents?
You mean we have to Finnish it?
