> and politicians, mainly, are ex- and future- lawyers, in the US
not only in the USA, in the Bundestag (German parliament) 23.3% of the members are lawyers (next places: high school teachers 5.5%, political scientist 4.6%)
as contrast, the sum of all natural scientists (+mathematicans, +computer scientists) is ~5% (see http://www.bundestag.de/mdb/statistik/berufe.html (in German) for the complete list) - anyone expecting anything useful from this kind of group is mad.
sorry for the second reply but according to the homepage ( http://www.1und1.com/ [in German]) the company has over 7.2 million customers in Germany, UK, France, Spain, Austria and the USA running on more than 55k servers.
I would imagine that the copyright is handed over to the media company also for your stated 50 years - and will fall back to the creator after the agreed period of time.

or we could choose the Belgian way - under Leterme the government was more or less non-functional/not existing and at least from Germany I saw no disadvantages for such a form of government:)
no one here with a really special and specific task that needed linux?
at least _my_ reason to install a linux on my pc was http://www.blug.linux.no/rfc1149/ - I was really curious and used this later for an university project (unfortunately we had no access to carrier pigeons but everything else worked).
I used some Suse distribution and to be honest: I only stayed after that with linux as I wasn't willing to see the (at this time) inferiority of linux compared to win2k:)
I wasn't able to get it running in a window (though fullscreen works) but will test it later (for some reasons my boss isn't happy when I play games in office:))

> so now who's nostalgic for the return of microfilm/microfiche?
huh? microfilm was never gone, how could it return?
at least in Germany many cultural goods are microfilmed for long-term archiving in a closed mine near Freiburg.
I'm not sure if this is funny, informative or just dull.
anyone here with a 3-sided coin so I can decide?
Audi is Bavarian, not German (and imo, Bavaria isn't even Europe :))
hey, Access is a nice GUI for MSSQL :)

rant end, sorry for the offtopic
it isn't fair to confuse AC's with facts - so just ignore the arpanet and blame the French for all the cheesy stuff in the tubes, what do you think?
done

a huge hosting company from Germany, most customers are in Europe (but afaik they sell in the US, too).

oops, sorry - my fault. I mixed up Norway and Sweden.

just your 2 Øre - can you _please_ respect different cultures :)

I strongly disagree.
Yours truly

me too (though I'm not geekoid's son [afaik])
you could add something like "127.0.0.1 slashdot.org" to your hosts-file.
not a complete solution but ~80% of all whoosh attackers are blocked :)
worse.
something like "Fitter Happier" needs an amount of cynicism a good enough computer can _never_ handle
[citation needed] :P
(btw, thanks - your comment made me smile)
thanks for your answer!

maybe a stupid question (I'm tired, it's 2 am in Europe..) but does you demo run with wine?
hmm, my scripting skills are not so bad - but I need help for a decent presentation...
> 2009 is the year!
yes, of feathered beer foam.
I think.
maybe.
I need a glass of wine.
sorry, I was wrong.
the development started in 2001, the cooperation with the company was signed in 2003 and introduction of the "Star Kick" was as late as 2005.
