Actually, it *is* possible to write Swiss-German (and many teenies do), although it would look and sound unlike German (as german speakers coming here find)
QWAQ (qwaq.com) are using virtual spaces (based on the OpenCroquet VR environment) to manage business infrastructure. Users can join a space and collaborate on monitoring, fixing etc services all from within the space. Sure it's early days yet, but this kind of stuff will become more and more prevalent over time, as more and more businesses realise the benefits of virtualising their hardware (virtual hardware being manipulated in a virtual space.. who have thunk it?)
And OpenCroquet, although not quite ready for prime-time unless you're into hacking Smalltalk code (which fortunately, I am), is rather nice and has a lot of potential. Even better, it isn't Second Life (ie its architecture can scale, it isn't over-run by porn griefing 'tards.. etc), although undoubtedly there's an idiot somewhere that can fix that particular issue..
You might want to check up on the history of the English Anarcho-punk band CRASS, and their various dabblings with the UK Establishment over issues such as the Falklands War and Christian Religion.
"While I do like virtualization, I think it is still in it's infancy."
HAHAHAHAHA. I was using virtualised mainframes 20 years ago, and it wasn't new then. What you think appears to be WRONG.
When will you monkeys get a grip and realise that this is not NEW technology? It is however a very USEFUL technology, as the clueful already know and the clueless are trying to get to grips with.
Pass me the claw-hammer, some craniums need caving....
Having used a fair few db's in anger over the years, I can heartily second the 'Informix: best database ever developed' comment.
I can think of a few betting websites that depend on it!
MySQL, to my mind is 'Fast, but otherwise shite'.
I'll take reliable over shite any day.

Perhaps adopt a more real-world cyclical calendar (think lunar phases), rather than the mental hang-ups of a Pope.
Heidiland. It actually has direct democracy. Yes, bit of a wierd concept, especially if you come from a "Democracy".

The difference between Java and Smalltalk?
Smalltalk isn't a steaming pile of shite, and actually lets you get difficult things done, quickly.
I cannot think of any situations where Java can make those claims.
"Maybe it's time to switch to Smalltalk"
There, fixed that for you. (Considering most of the (sh)IT world has blatantly stolen from St...)
If I didn't have the worst karma on the planet, I'd mod you up *big-style*, Sir. You hit a lot of nails right on the head.
creative idiocy!

The Idiots are winning. They run about on plastic children's bikes. Proper Nathan Barley. Keep it futile.

I suggest we take off and nuke the site from orbit. it's the only way to be sure. (And I'm professionally allowed to say that ;-p )

Too many humans, not enough Laptops!
