Netbase/pannous seems to be cool but I guess it still got some work to do as it's suggesting Bonn as capital of Germany, unless I'm misinterpreting the statements. Kind of weird result from Google when you search for: "bonn capital germany". For me, it displays the wiki summary of Berlin but the link goes to Bonn. Does it usually work like that?

Edit: It was the Bonn Summary of wikipedia

Im pretty sure that this is a public version of the platform that has been running at KTH (royal institute of technology) for years. It was used as a test suite as well as performance test for assignments there for the CS school.

Thanks! Had to take a look at this and just a ZZBop mentioned he got sentenced to prison, but as I understand not really because of bribing as that was just a cover up for himself.

Apparently it was Fallenius himself who in court told that the money he took from ABB was going to be used as a bribe, but the court did not agree and sentenced him for tax fraud instead. See http://www.svd.se/abb-direktor-domd-till-fangelse , (Swedish)

Id love too see partial classes.. It would be so helpful combined with generated classes. Do anyone know any alternative to partial classes with the same functionality as partials in C#?

Looks like an already asked question:

  To be clear, we still don't collect or share personal           
  information and auto-suggest does not impact that at all.
  I   appreciate it may make you and others uncomfortable 
  and we're sensitive to that, but it is not a change in 
  terms of privacy. We simply do not associate queries with 
  personal information (e.g. IP addresses) and in fact    
  don't store any of it at all.

I completely agree. Why does it seem nearly impossible to put in a high resolution screen? When you config the Precision line, it costs $34 to upgrade from 1366x768 to a 1920x1080 screen. That's basically nothing, so it doesn't seem too expensive to achieve higher resolutions? It's also strange to me that the 16:9 ratio is so dominant when it is clear that there is a market for other ratios as well.
