Here in Scandinavia, the letters Å,Æ,Ø, are actually quite new. It is acceptable to spell them as AA, AE and OE respectively on non-scandinavian keyboards. With IDN adresses now becomming available, you constantly have to remember which spelling is used on which website. It would be a hell of a lot more practical if only the 26 alphabeth was used and software would automatically expand ingeniøren.dk to ingenioeren.dk. This way you could use whatever you want. And websites will not be too happy about using special characters, because it makes them almost impossible to reach on non-scandinavian computers.
and then suggests creating an ad-hoc Internet radiostation.
Ok, but only if I get to make announcements: " aaaand nooooooooooow, a ssssspesjial request from Sophie in dorm three,...."
I can see how this is good for gamers, but normal office use? The biggest waiting time I have on my centrino is network. (In a big company, network by Siemens, it can take 15 seconds between O and a complete list of network drives. Go figure.) Servers will opt for the 64 bit thingies, your secretary doesn't need one; is gamers a big enough market share to make money on this shit?
Did an interview on Belgian TV a year ago where he got plenty of time to discuss his ideas. VERY disappointing. He didn't say ANYTHING that couldn't have been said by a junior trainee sales manager. We are great, and we have great products and great people blahblahblah... C'mon, the guy is a billionaire. His software sucks bollocks but he is probably the biggest businessman of the last 100 years. When will he stop worrying about his shares and start thinking about his place in the history books?
I think it is amazing such a big project can be done by just one guy working on it part-time (read his personals). If he can do such a thing on his own, then how comes we haven't had super-duper RAD tools with IDE in Linux for years?
You can encrypt all you want, in the end you have to ship the technology to decrypt to the customer or he can't see his movie. So it doesn't matter what fancy-pancy algorithm they use, all hackers have to do is put a wiretap between decriptor and D/A convertor, or even just hijack the analog signal to get 99.9% of the original. Wish these guys would grow up...
The death announcment of OS is a little premature. I work for a large biotech and we see OS as a valuable, litlle different, business model. Sure it will have a hard time with Joe Sixpack who just wants to surf pr0n, but there are already enough non-PHB bosses out there who see the benifit of OS. Just take the religion out of it and start realising that not all OSS is written by ideologic amateurs. The % of OS software written by people who get paid for it is on the rise!
A new car stereo with DAB and MP3 for those long drives to work. My wife got a new phone with camera and kitchen sink. We are three weeks later and she still has to place her first usefull phonecall...

Quoting my __ex-__ roommate: "Whoever will bring a TV set here can choose: me or him."
TNT carries much less energy per kilogram than a simple candlestick. Its strength comes purely from reaction speed. The Russians fill up their rockets with ordinary Diesel fuel. Now that is what I call bang for the buck. I don't know how traditional dry fuels like AlCl3 compare though, anybody any figures on that?
they do make an "embedded" version where you can cut crap away. Not that I think this is going to fly though... I like the poster: Would it be an addition to home users computers as well as the server versions of Windows? Considering all non-server versions only accept one telnet client at a time, keep on dreaming buddy. This is probably gonna get marketed as a distributed server thingy for large web or exchange clusters.
In germany and benelux, the discount chain aldi is releasing the "AldiPod". I'm not much of music-man, but a phone with the design-talent of the ipod, my god, the drool is shorting my keyboard!
