Europe Is Falling Behind On Open Source
Superentity writes "Computer
Business Review is reporting that an official at the European Commission has called on
Europe to take a more proactive approach to open source or risk missing out, and outlined
steps that European businesses and governments can take to help open source." From the article: "In the US most of the large companies have clear strategies to increase open source in their product lines...In Asia and Latin America, we see that there are many national and regional projects to develop and to work on open source."
Especially in post Soviet countries, there's too much corruption for MS to not thrive...

Maybe what they need is a little xtracto compacto, eh? Nudge, nudge, wink wink.
Worked for Lady Di.
"EVERY (and I mean every) night teenage girls go out to bars and they end so drunk walking on the streets without shoes, some without some clothes (not that they go out with much clothes) and shouting ... I can tell you I have seen more civilized behaviour on many third world countries..."
Please don't get the impression that Britons are happy about this either. These teenage girls represent a small but highly vocal minority, and measures are being put into place to cut down on this sort of thing (restrictions on special offers on alcoholic drinks, supposed increases in the power which policemen can wield).
I'm not saying that these measures will necessarily work, but it's evident that the nation isn't just standing idly by and enjoying watching these delicious little tarts parading their flesh on the high street.
Ahem.
My other processor is big-endian.
The deuce you say!
Just out of curiousity, would it be as bothering to you if it were teenage boys going out to bars, getting smashed, and then walking around without clothes on and shouting? I'm just curious to see if you hold women to a different standard of behavior than men.
Well yes... they are also teenage boys going out of these pubs and all that but... To be honest with you, I pay much (MUCH, MUCH) more attention to the girls (specially when they took their 'some' cltohes off =oP
Ubuntu is an African word meaning 'I can't configure Debian'
So fuck off and invest elsewhere, or shut your useless mouth. EU will be another Islamic shithole inside of 15 years anyway.
You didn't help me - I'm German you insensitive clod!
No, it's just that we're prepared to pay for quality rather than being freeloaders.
Not only that, but your country is a shithole.
I guess you know all about shitholes as you are living in one...
I did'nt vote for that scum, and they don't speak for me, and after the week they have had, they should focus on their own jobs and answering the questions now really raised, not issuing more effing dictats.
Still, they will desperatly attempt to get 4/5s of states to ratify and reach a stage where they can take it to council and make a 'decision'.
Its high time these people stopped lauding the 'commission and friends' - they are not our friends and never will be.
We`re all equal
Of course Europe is perfect. You know, all those Zombie computers were actually working with chips designed in the US, that's the explanation. And of course, were it not for that big US corporation named Microsoft, there surely would be more Open Source in Europe.
;-)
Don't believe me? Well, prove the opposite!
