Backwards compatibility. Heck I still play c64 games! Old games are still fun!
No internal optical disc drive. Make it optional by offering an external device.
Noise > performance. I don't want to hear that box.
Todays Xbox 360 controller is fine, I do not want to buy a new controller just because it comes with an extra button.
I run my own cloud network storage business. Everything is encrypted on the client side, there is no cheating(ala bitcasa which says they manage to deduplicate encrypted data). Sure you can upload raw data that you for example want to share, but one should know that someone else then have the possibility to read and abuse the data.
So I would say the data is safe in our cloud. Sure we have access to see how much disk space you're using, but thats pretty much it.
There are gui version based on Duplicity for Windows and Linux
Duplicati http://code.google.com/p/duplicati/

It's more popular than ever. Don't belive the nosql hype.
There are several tools like Psyco that already do this for Python. But if you really want efficient code execution, then you can write your own C modules to Python easily -> http://docs.python.org/extending/extending.html
We realize the value in our population, having more people working, creating value and paying taxes, pays off very well for everyone. No one gets left behind because they got unlucky and didn't have money for health insurance.
If you have ID with a valid Norwegian social number, then yes!
Actually you don't have to pay taxes to get free health care. At least not here in Norway. If you have a norwegian social number you get free health no matter what.
If you make money, you have to pay taxes. If you don't make money and live in the forest, you don't pay taxes. And you still have free health care.
I'm not really sure how the health care work in details for the rest of europe. But I know it's basically "free" in most european countries compared to the US.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
