I find it also highly plausible that an interview with Bill Gates is done in English in the first place. If you follow the link on the page to the RISKS archive (http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks/17.44.html#subj11), you find the RISKS submission by Klaus Brunnstein, from which the text was taken. He states that this is indeed the raw interview transcription provided by the interviewer -- "before translation and adaptation," although the "German (not this English) version was authorized." Dr. Klaus Brunnstein is professor at the University in Hamburg, Germany, and is well-known and highly respected for his activities in computer security and risks. While you may question the credibility of the magazine FOCUS (I have no problem with that!), I take his word that this text is original. -- Juergen Nickelsen <ni@tellique.de> Tellique Kommunikationstechnik GmbH Gustav-Meyer-Allee 25, 13355 Berlin, Germany Tel. +49 30 46307-552 / Fax +49 30 46307-579 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
