They want low costs period. However, I would expect them to take extra fuel with them to compensate for the eventuality that you would have to fly around the cloud itself (but only in condition orange, for example).

You can workaround this with procedures. Iceland could provide a radiostation which you must monitor being in the area near the vulcano. The radiostation could periodically/automatically say that everything is OK or that it is not. Obligatory notifications that you are entering and leaving the area are often used.

And he is not the only one. When looking for the same question on the internet, this popped up. Sometimes you DO NOT have to ask slashdot for good recommendations.

That is because they can't manage it properly. Only to be replaced by a problem that needs to be managed even better.

Spamfiltering is a little bit more sophisticated than greylisting. My mailservers speak SMTP perfectly, it does not validate my content automatically around the world.

And how do presume the spamfilter will work with all the content being encrypted? This is not well thought out.

Are people mindless?

Any degree of privacy-requirement is enough for me to start using encryption.

I have a Sony-Ericsson k550i and it has irda...

You have such good arguments... Not. The fact that we know the NSA's name does not make it activities public.

It does not mean spamcop will not blacklist the IP in itself.

They should not only redesign software for CPU architecture. Most software is created for a single cpu and a single memory space. In real life we have multiple processors, multiple kinds of memory (cache, ram, disk/ssd, raid, san, distributed file systems), network interfaces between server and client (what do you consider 'an application' on the internet?).

And while we are at it: We have issues with software reuse, bugs (in general) and testability, security. Software development is in the pre-industrial age, afaiac.

Or just have it IEEE802.11 interface wirelessly with http://www.dack.com/web/bullsh... or http://cbsg.sourceforge.net/cg...

Why don't you put this comment on your own website. We will all find it, promise ;-). You prove your own issue: You need a public forum, some call it marketing, to market your opinion.

Before designing a system you want to know which problems are solved ('why?') and they must be tangible. Here are some aspects that would be nice to solve: code reuse is nice to save time, reducing bugs, testability, security, stability, high availability, maintainability... Not all problems are solved well in humans.
