What is Digg?57 Comments
- Ajajadude, on 10/10/2007, -2/+45I've seen this before...only it was an Amish virus. Took me years to get back all that data I had to delete...
- verge, on 10/10/2007, -7/+34On a more serious note. Ireland is MORE technically advanced than many other countries and is poised to become a hub for the international tech community.... A welcomed change after years of British strong-arming and domestic terrorism.
- Skanadian, on 10/10/2007, -2/+26RE:RE:RE:RE:FW:FW:FW:FW:, etc.

- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3They have become the center of technological progress in Europe. Their economy kicks ass. Why? Free education, and they instilled the grandfather clause for people who had a grandparent who was born in Ireland, you could get an Irish passport, which made you able to attend college in Ireland, for virtually free.
And the tax incentives they gave to new and old Technological firms.
