I used to work for a so called fylkeskommune in Norway, I guess one can compare this to a quite small American state. Our naming scheme was based on function, geographical location and username (the username was the users birthdate).
So a standard name would be something like this: school.oslo.121250.
On servers we used the same system, but instead of a username we used some simple description like this: school.drammmen.fileserver1
Well, you have a (unintentional) point there. Currently the bottleneck is the hardware used in our computers. It will not help to have a 100 Tbps network if our hdd's can not store that much data at the same speed (or faster). Theres no real point in terrabit ethernet until we have clients with fast enough hardware.
1. End the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, but keep humanitarian services.
2. Cut defense budgets.
3. Start following international environment agreements (like the Kyoto-agreement).
4. Prioritize public transport (bus, underground, etc.).
5. Become a member of the international community (and stop being "the fat, stupid and wierd Americans).
6. Give money to the poor in third-world countries.
Not that long ago I had to write a PHP-script to take care of a couple of pretty simple and mundane help-desk things. I started out with about 4 or 5 different PHP-files, most of them libraries. Then after working on the project for a while, I had something like 30 files, again most where libraries. So I decided to put these different libraries into a single class in a single file. But still I had some seperate files.
So, long story short, I ended up with 20 files all depending on at least 2 other files. Whenever I changed something in file A, I had to change file B. If I change file B, I have to change file C. But if I change file C, I have to change file A.
I'm sure that if I posted that code here, some of you would probably start feeling sick and end up throwing up before you are finished reading the code. This is the worst piece of code I have ever written. But it works good enough, at least until I have to change something.
In Norway, when the police seizes computers (or pretty much anything else) you are almost guaranteed to not get it back. It does not matter if the charges against you are dropped or if you are found innocent, they usually don't give back anything after it is seized. Normally it is sold in a police auction in order to cover the costs of investigating you. So even if you are innocent, they burn you.
In Norway Telenor, the biggest ISP, tried this a couple of years ago. They stopped not long after. Apparently people like to have a more or less permanent place to be. They don't like coming to work every morning having to search for a free desk or chair.
I have never been in this kind of environment, but I don't think I would like it. It's better to have an office and know the people around you and being able to have at least some personal items there.
Umm, most European countries does not (or did not) hate communism. Many countries had and still have governments that are sosialists. Although no European country that has not been behind the steel curtain has had communism as a state form, for many it has not been far away. For some reason Americans (I assume that you are one) belive that communism and everything left-oriented is evil, while the rest of the world don't really share that opinion.
So... who learnt history from a cereal box?
I think this tendency is going to appear in the whole western world in not too long. The Japanese are a couple of years ahead of us. Most home-end users does not care about tasks where one would need a PC, most people just want to play games, surf the net and write some mail. And these tasks can be completed on a console or a mobile phone.

The simple answer; we have more than you..... As far as I know the average pay in most of western Europe is higher than in the US.
If frogs did have wings they probably would not jump at all. You should use some sort of geeky car analogy.
As soon as you realise that someone is just there for the trolling, don't feed them anymore; just ignore them.....

Oh yeah, give us even more blags!
That's nothing compared to the Norwegian blue parrot! It's always so calm that it's scary
Sending sensitive information from a bank to another company without encrypting it is just reckless and stupid.
It's quite obvius that ITIF does not have broadband, I'm downloading the PDF-file at 1.5 Kbps.....
Imagine a Beowulf cluster of hot-patching Linux-servers
They can suspend a mice, but making Ubuntu suspend on my laptop and work afterwards; that they can't do. It's a strange world
It does not look like brainstorming to me, more like slashstorming.

int n = 0; while(1 = 1) { n++; int array[n]; } If you can make that run, then you have a very large array...
Hmm, it seems like we need more tubes so the data can flow freely.

When jet-fuel gets warm, some of it turns into gas. Gas is unstable and very easy to ignite...

You have nothing to complain about. I am installing Photoshop 5.5 on students computers now, this is the most updated version we have...

I thought that Da Vinci was smart enough to embedd some DRM into his paintings.
I wonder how many armed guards they are planning to employ.
it does warrant an A+ in CS.
