Thats not the point, since Microsoft IS an european Company too. Microsoft has it's daughtercompanies and divisions in almost every country of the EU. Microsoft Deutschland GmbH or Microsoft Schweiz GmbH (not EU, but european) for example. They all are their own Corporations.
I'm just wondering about./'s interest in a local german Mobile Phone Comapany. I mean, we are talking about the company with the ugly corporate color http://www.tmobile.de/ , isn't it?
Since the german navy never counted on radar on their ships (because our radar was not so good developed at this time) in WW2, but used optical aiming devices once a enemy was in sight, that was not a problem. The Nazis never realized what advantage the radar technique was, and so they never invested many resources to make it widely available in the german forces.

You should not forget, the PS2 in the US/Jap-PS3 has a backward-compatibility of just 97%. If the software emulation hits the 90% including all classics and major titles, it's OK, IMHO. For playing all the gamers favourites in 720p, it would be a price i would pay, lacking compatibility to some of the bad or unknown games.
Yes, exactly that does it mean, since the original PS2-Hardware, which is build in the US/Japan PS3 in a higher level of integration, never supported high definition. Ist's a feature added to the soft emulation only.
...that the software emulation will allow to scale the PS2-games to 720p high def resolution. It doesn't mention that Sony want's to bring the backward compatbility to an level almost as high as the hardware emulation in the US/Japan PS3 is too. See http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/85781 (in German). Not so bad as ist sounds.
..."clean burning" should be defined. Natural gas burns clean
in the way it doesn't produce NOx, SOx and so on, but it's made
of carbon and hydrogen. So the burning of natural gas will produce
CO2. Since CO2 is responsible for global warming (yes, i'm a believer),
it's burning is not clean in my personal view.
ID cards are common in many countries in Europe including my own. Xou get in the age of 16, you can use to buy beer or to enter bars and clubs, and other than often said, you don't have to take it all the time with you. No problem with that. You are fighting against something which is no danger for your privacy, while personal data protection in fact don't exist in the US, and that is a real danger. How does the police identify people without ID cards in the US so fast and quickly? Because all the databases aren't proteced and all the small pieces of informationen existing in the lots of databases can be combined and can be easily conflated, which is for example forbidden in germany. It's only not soething appearing in the public discussions. And the most greates joke is, everybody in the US owning a drivers licence,has a not-so-called-ID-card in his pocket. The "danger of the national ID cad" ist nothing else than a dogma, created by people like the NRA, ultraconservatives and so on, who need a symbol they can use as a flying flag. But in fact, this is totally irrational. IHMO & Just my 2 cents.
A drm-protected blackbox with credit card reader as dongle for software. Like in the old day of the videogame halls, you have to pay for the time you play - or work - with your software. Would make it easy for the companies to sell their software, the xould be freely distributed, shared and downloadet, because the software runs only by paying to start it. Ehm... how much does a worldwiede patent proposal cost?
that it's primary irrelevenat that humans are responsible for global warming or not. Even when not, the politicians have to do something. The reactions may be different in the two cases, but something has to be done do be prepared. But have you ever heard that a politician said "hey, it's not us, but we have to cut down CO2-emissions, reduce the pollution and restructure the coasts to prevent the biggest desasters in the future"?
US Admiral: "Look at this, slitted eye! The Nimiz! The most phatt3st aircraft carrier ever build! Look what i can do!" *push button*... *buzzz!* His colleague from the airforce: "You yellow little man think you can disarm ICBMs better than we can? I'll prove you that we disarm our complete arsenal in half the time your tech peons will find their screwdrivers, commi!"
Maybe because there are a lot of volcanoes at the other

...should store the waste at the dark side of the moon. I suggest to build a moon base near the dump yard to for observing. Since there is a lot of radiactive waste, there should be more than one yard, so the first one should be named Alpha-1.
Well, to make the famous goose-walk does not mean
that the cops bring you to jail. It's the maximum penalty,
and you'll not receive this punishment for your first
offence.
So if you make your funny walk again after the cops
informed you that is it not allowed you'll get a fee,
and doing once more again means the cops will arrest you.
The cops will take you the policestation in every country
when you repeat even small offenses. I think you will not
have a chance to piss a third time in public in the US
(or wherever you come from) in front of a policeman,
in the US probably not a second time:D
Or better 90% of them. The Spiegel says that 90% of the 322 suspects are not punished before, so they'll receive fines instead of prison. It's unusual in germany to go to prison for your first misdeed. Except really hard crimes like homicide, second degree murder, forays, raping of course.
...would be the DEC/HP Alpha. It's not longer in production, and because of low marketshare it was ever a very high prized CPU. So it's no option anymore.
My second choice would be MIPS. A very clean RISC architecture without any compromises. But the development of it's hardware stagnated years ago. You can buy MIPS CPUs, highly efficient and powerful - for their clock rates. But chanceless against a multicore mainstream CPUs with four or six times the clockrates the MIPS has. No Option for a new Workstation processor.
PowerCPUs. Extremely high prices for the systems make them no option too. The minstream varaiants which are available in actual systems are mainly old G3 and G4 processors. Not the best choice for a new computer.
UltraSparc: The only RISC-processors which are produced in actual production lines, build relatively (!) low priced Workstaions from Sum Microsystems. They are payable by private user. So they would be at the moment my Architecture of choice. But since i'm just a poor student, even this price it to high for me. Which means i have to stay for the next two years or so at the same ols x86-crap and the much crappier IBM-compatible PC with al the ballast of a bad, 30 year old architecture. A Opteron or Core3Duo would be my specific flavour. Maybe on one of the cheaper Tyan Workstation boards.
All other RISCs have gone to the embeddet market. StrongARM for example. They're no choice for a workstation.
Great idea. Another thing is to automatically interrupt the electricity in the buildings to prevent fires caused by short-circuits. But what would it cost to equip all houses in San Francisco (or any big or medium sized city) with such systems? Maybe billions of dollars.
