Scandinavians are a very clever people. It has not been lost on me how much work they have done in the field of computer science and Internet technologies. Just think of the following and who developed them: Linux C++ MySQL PHP Nokia Opera Internet Browser Borland C And many more. Btw, I am neither scandinavian nor european myself.

Janus is for sure the best and most honest internet champ in the World, nice to see how calm and easy he handles this very rare interview... Wish the world had more people like him and it would be a better place to live...
