"Recognize that the user interface complexity is usually an order of magnitude more complex then the complexity in the problem domain. Don't brush it under the carpet in favor of getting a perfect model of the problem domain. Usually modeling the business problem is, in fact, much easier than modeling the sophistication that eventually gets kludged into the interface facing the humans." from

Finally another
hint
at moving in the right direction by negotiating a free trade agreement with the USA. After all, we're not a member of the EU for reasons. One of them being Freihandelsneutralität - a new chapter in the concept of
"Staatsidee Schweiz"
.

Update: 10.06.2005, 17:05 -
Swiss aim to start free-trade talks with US
. The government has charged the economics ministry with initiating dialogue with the United States aimed at concluding a bilateral free-trade agreement. Economics Minister Joseph Deiss will travel to Washington next month for exploratory discussions.

"
A lot has changed
over the last three years. Instead of a handful of choices, there are now more than a dozen
java scripting
languages either under active development or already available for use. The list of solid choices is bigger than it was three years ago and now includes Groovy, JudoScript, Pnuts, and JRuby, in addition to Jacl, Jython, Rhino, and BeanShell. We could consider other scripting interpreters beyond this group, but this list is large enough for developers to find what they're looking for."

Fans of
Monty Python's "Spamalot"
who signed up for a newsletter on the Broadway musical's official Web site may end up getting, well, spammed a lot.
A security glitch
- now fixed - exposed the names and postal and e-mail addresses of more than 31,000 people to savvy computer users.
When told by e-mail message about the breach, several people who had signed up for the "Spamalot" list said they were unsurprised, given the state of Internet security and the aggressiveness of spammers. Several noted that there was something appropriately Pythonesque about the incident. After all, Internet historians say that the use of the word spam to refer to junk e-mail messages has its roots in a 1970 Monty Python sketch, in which all conversation in a cafe is drowned out by a group of Vikings chanting the word over and over. The sketch and its song about Spam, the meat product, were adapted for the new musical.
"Are you sure they didn't do it on purpose?" joked one list subscriber, Matthew J. H. Baya of Ellsworth, Me. "Talk about guerrilla marketing."
