FYI: major part of Poland being part of Russia as long as since 1772, Russia is no way the ``3-rd country'' to Poland. You just forgot to say, that Russia together with Prussia and Austria had split Poland (and Lithuania and Belarus) among them right in 1772. Before, those "parts" of Russia belong to Poland since 996. Yes for almost 800 years. And Russia is just 3-rd part country to Poland exactly the same way it is for any any other country in Europe, including Your one (unless You live in Russia).
I readily believe that many Polish people do not like their ex-metropolitan state. I know there are reasons to. But this time it is not that Polish people should be afraid of military invasion from the east or do not enjoy political freedoms. It is Russian powers which are afraid of the 3-rd country rockets next to its borders. Maybe, but still - when Russia put their nuclear rockets, in the same places in Poland 35 Years ago they had no such a dilemma.
And this time Poland just sells their strategically attractive land to the rich powers from the different hemisphere. Putin uses it as an excuse to fuel its ``outer threat'' campaign to gain credits and increase its authoritarian power. Come on, how Poland is different from the other Europen countries like Germany, whose have huge camps like Rammsau? Agin, this is up to Poland if we decide to "sell" Our land to someone or not. Russia has nothing to say here, fortunately.
Dear Anonymous Coward, I for one come from this "bitch" country You mentioned. Sorry for not being kind, but Finnland is all about being kind about Russia all the time. Isn't it that You were just sitting quiet, happy You are on the right side of the wall, after II WW? Where have You been when Russia put nuclear arsenal in Poland 35 Years ago? If Poland is America's bitch, whose bitch is Finnland then?
And for Your information, we are not sure if we agree having this shield in Our country just like Czech. We just don't want to 3-rd countries like Russia decide what we should do.
Yes, definitely I'm sure. Now we had a chance to make the decision and say 'No, thanks' or 'Sure, we do agree'. Before we even didn't have opportunity to choose, even more, nobody asked Us. Do You see the difference?
I remember the times when Russia located huge nuclear arsenal here in Poland and did't asked anyone. They had no problem doing this then. But if we decide (and yes - we *do* decide now, not Our 'best friends') to allow someone else mount some *defence* systems in Our country - Russia has strong objectives. I have only one world to describe this - hypocrisy.
It's not that all poles agree this shield is good. We just started negotiations and we are not sure if we will finally agree,
but again - this will be Our decision.
To cast little bit more light on the topic. America decided to locate this shield in Poland and Czech. Since the decision had been taken, Russia started to threaten both countries, we (Poland) have export embargo (for example for meat) and some "warnings" and "good advices" from Russia. Now they try to convince Us other way around...
My posting is little bit biased - Forgive me, but I spent all my childhood under the Russian occupation and regime in Poland, sorry, could not resist. So before anyone starting shouting at Bush please - thing twice. First Russia occupied Poland, Czech, Slovakia etc for 40 Years, then, after the collapse of the communism, they were against joining NATO by Our, independent then, countries. Then they are against this shield. Technically shield located partially in Poland and in Czech is no threat for Russia at all, they now this. Also, technically, this shield cannot defend nuclear attack for this part of Europe. Please Russia understand that You are Our "supervisor" no longer, we are independed countries and taking Our decisions Ourselves.

7Zip to just uncompress zip files from C#? Handmade s/mime parser? base64? Mono? Execs? On Unix? OMG! This is most weired solution I could imagine!
Thanks god this guy haven't installed MS SQL MSDE database and Exchange plus some web services on IIS server to store intrmediate results and push them back to Asia...
I could probably write this within no more than two lines of curl/perl/whatever...
From TFA:
They predicted that the number of companies in "early or full deployment" of mission-critical applications on Linux would grow by 40 percent from 2007-2009, and would then accelerate to grow by 80 percent from 2009-2011.
How many mission-critical applications are running SharePoint? You, MS guys live in some kind of Matrix probably. Even if someone added support for 99% of MS applications for Linux, You always be crying that there is no support for [YOUR FAVOURITE APP GOES HERE].
I've work for really big European companies (BNP Paribas, Roche, Insurance companies) none of them use SharePoint for more than 1% of their activities (if use at all) - none of these activities were more "critical" than HR bulletins etc...
