c-span showed a interesting talk from the library of congress Digital Future series. There is a link at
http://www.c-span.org/congress/digitalfuture.asp
(it is the one from Monday, January 24)
There were very few really good questions, but a very bright scientist explains the basics.
I would have liked to know if there is any P=NP optimism...
I am not waving a flag, but I am surprised that no one brought up the possibility that increased production (spillage, really) of H could lead to the ozone layer raining down on us.
I don't know much about chemistry/physics but from the little I know about the upper atmosphere, there is a bunch of O2 getting busted up and binding to complete O2's to give us O3.
(I thought this comment might fall under the H rises thread....)
I heard an NPR story early in the morning a year ago, from what I remember the paper had some pretty generous assumptions about the level of leakage being the same as the current gasoline spilage situation.

I will voice agreement here.
I would be so happy if they do something really new, or unknown in the sense of Rumsfeld.
In the unlikely case that it happens, will we all admit that Microsoft has impressed us?
From what I know to be rumor, multiple workspaces is the feature I will find most useful.
If that feature isn't there, I will be really disappointed.
