Was ID foolish to release the Quake 3 engine under GPL too? You can still find Q3A being sold in many places...

Lucky you. I'm stuck with a 2 GHz Celeron and 768 megs of RAM at work, and the site is barely usable on Chrome. When I try to scroll down with the mouse wheel it actually takes two or three seconds to do anything.
Actually I use a Finnish/Swedish keyboard and speak Finnish. I am well aware of different keyboard layouts with accents or special characters. However, even those share most of the keys with an US English keyboard layout.
A keyboard with a-z, the usual punctuation marks, and possibly a few accented or umlaut characters is and will be the de facto keyboard unless we start replacing normal text with unicode characters. Until that day (which I hope never comes!), you'd have to use a seperate keyboard for programming on this unicode programming language. And as already said on this thread, they tried it with APL and it failed horribly.
I see the appeal of google's choice though - it keeps things simple. "What version are you on?" "3.6.10"... ? Isn't easier to just call it 5?
Oh right, that must be why my Chrome is at version 7.0.517.41...
