Why does smccloud's map of Western Europe depict a Germany that encompasses Denmark, the Netherlands, Belgium, Switzerland, the eastern half of Austria, Hungary, and Slovenia (as well as Luxembourg and possibly Liechtenstein [thanks, eqe])?  UPDATE: Scott acknowledges and regrets the error.

Also, why does Google Chrome sound like Google is reinventing emacs as a Web browser, with Javascript instead of Lisp?
