    Huuh??? Have you actually read the European constitution? I have, and most of the elements I can agree fully with, especially the charter for fundamental rights of the citizens.

    There are no socialism in this, there are however values of the classical liberalism.

    Article II-2
    Right to life
    1. Everyone has the right to life.
    2. No one shall be condemned to the death penalty, or executed.

    This is of course an example of the more evolved ethics and morale in Europe.

    The state shall not kill it's citizens!

    I don't want to start a holy war here, but what is the deal with you Linux fanatics? I've been sitting here at my freelance gig in front of an Athlon64 (an XP-3000+) running SuSE for about 20 minutes now while it attempts to copy a 500 Meg file from one folder on the hard drive to another folder. 20 minutes. At home, on my eMac running Mac OS X 10.3, which by all standards should be a lot slower than this PC, the same operation would take about 2 minutes. If that.

    In addition, during this file transfer, KDE will not work. And everything else has ground to a halt. Even pico is straining to keep up as I type this.

    I won't bore you with the laundry list of other problems that I've encountered while working on various Linux distros, but suffice it to say there have been many, not the least of which is I've never seen a Linux distro that has run faster than its Wintel counterpart, despite the Linuxhead's insistence of open-source efficiency. My eMac 1Ghz with 512 megs of ram runs faster than this 3000 mhz(?) machine at times. From a productivity standpoint, I don't get how people can claim that a Linux PC is a superior machine.

    Linuxheads, flame me if you'd like, but I'd rather hear some intelligent reasons why anyone would choose to use a GNU/Linux system over other faster, cheaper, more stable systems.
