Perception of quality and actual quality are independent of one another. Perception of quality can be bad even if the actual quality is good but seldom the other way round. Thanks, I love equations.

This brings back good memories of my days as a physics student. Great developments, the way these miniature measuring devices can now be integrated right into ICs. Ha ha, nice post Arnoud!

In time this need decreases and processing power comes available again. Also, your website can start serving regular customers again. To illustrate this, the schiphol screenshot you made at (i think) somewhere after 12:00 (the crash was at 10:30) offers already more functionality then the 11:30 version, which only showed a 3 sentence block without the arrival and departure functionality links. A day later, the schiphol website has returned to full functionality. * initially, somewhere at 11:00 the schiphol website could not be reached, apparently the news had not reached the person who should throw the switch. You say a job wel done, and I agree. Turkish Airlines was far slower in its respons, but had a dedicated emergency respons site, Schiphol did not.

Also the fact that internet makes communication easier, and people have to travel less has big benefits for the CO2 production. But on the other hand, i don't believe in the whole CO2 hype, i hate cold feet, so i google a lot ;) Funny, did they also think about the fact that with the rise of the information by internet less papers are sold and so less natural resources are used to produce and transport them?
