This idea has been around for ten years and is just as suptid as ever. It assumes that people mainly get to sites by typing in URLs, which is not true (they click on links). It insults human intelligence by assuming that people can’t type in some Latin characters. As you mention, it does not address the protocol and TLD parts of URLs. It gives rise to confusion and even security risks from the confusion of characters in different scripts.The original people that came up with this idea thought they could make money by selling domain names in different scripts. They came up with some DNS server and browser hacks to make their scheme work, but it obviously never took off. RealNames was trying to accomplish the same thing, in a slightly more sane way, but they never solved the chicken-and-egg problem and crashed and burned. Now, however, we have a really good way to find exactly the site we want on the net, called a search engine . If I want to go to the Ford site, I just type in Ford cars to Google. Works perfectly, in Greek as well.When Google *****yzes the queries people throw at, they find lots of entire URLs. That’s because people type URLs directly into the Google search box they don’t distinguish between it and the URL location box, and perhaps that’s as it should be. In fact, when confronted with a URL Google now just skips the search and jumps directly to the site. The Google search input box IS the new location bar, and already fully multilingualized.

before, Socrates was resigned to death. If he hadn’t told all those loppee he was wiser than them because he knew that he knew nothing (ha, paradox), what point would he have made? What impression would he have made on them? He did what he had to do to get his point across, there was no other way. He was almost a pathological truth-teller (except he had good reason behind it). I agree with Noodles that he was much more worried about being honest than being a fraud (or dying for that matter). Integrity doesn’t die. As far as dying cutting off someone’s ability to change, you also have to remember that the pupils Socrates had carried on his ideas, and Plato has even given us enough that we have it now and we’re still learning from Socrates and letting him change our worlds. And dying in the name of self-examination was the most important thing and was the most valuable lesson Socrates taught.

all these seem Greek to me, however the author of this article forgotten Bethoven, I thought that Bethoven was the most known Greek writer. If these guys are so important why then Greece went bankrupt?

Socrates actually wasn't a writer, since he hasn't written anything. Writing down his theories was against his idea of what philosophy is. He does play a very important role in Plato's work.

Yet, there is another fault in the text. Plato did not witness Socrates' execution; he witnessed the trial but was ill on the day he drank the poison.
