Submission + - Nokia shows first Meego phone (engadget.com)

Zebedeu writes: Nokia has finally shown on video what Meego looks like running on their new N9.

Makes one wonder if it really is the best decision for them to go with WP7, or if a successful product launch might lead them to rethink their long-term smartphone strategy.

Comment EU's agricultural support (Score 2) 570

Ten years ago critics were worried that EU's agricultural support forced African farmers to give up on farming. Now we are worried that the rising food prices force African farmers to buy food from abroad. That confuses me.

Perhaps the problem is price fluctuations. A poor farmer cannot afford to invest in better production methods, because he cannot afford to risk bankrupcy. If the prices were more stable then the risks would be lower.

Comment Works only for multiple choice tests? (Score 2) 437

I don't think that this system works for a normal (non multiple choice) test. At least that would require the teachers to spend a lot of time typing each students results in a nonambiguous way.

On the other hand it is a little more difficult to use cell phones to cheat in a non-multiple choice test, because the entire answer of an exercise is too long to fit into an SMS.

By the way. Your site is pretty cool, but I would like it even more if you didn't use BASIC. Perhaps you could add a slightly more modern language as an alternative.
