Ultimately, your whole argument is, "well, the tool really doesn't actually work, but its free".
You don't say: "geez, the power drill I just bought doesn't work, I guess I'll build it myself." You go and get one that does work.
It's appalling that you cannot just install a product for Linux. I go to install KDevelop on my Red Hat 9 box, and the next thing you know, it's sending me all over creation trying to find a bunch of web sites that may or may not have a package that I need. Then I find out, well, it works ok on Mandrake. So I go and download that, and it still has issues as I unwittingly installed it as root and not myself and it messed up even more.
Oh, and I won't even discuss the documention. Is the unix api part of kdevelop? Sorta. Does F1 work correctly? Sorta. Sometimes. Nope. What about the C++ guides. Sorta.
Oh, and finally, what's up with me having to spend 2k to get a commercial version of the widget library. If I gotta fork over some dough, then, I may as well do it for M$ and get help that works.
Really, with the increasing power of CGI, it seems within our reach to just recreate the original actors and their original voices, as they were in 1967. We could go on with Capt. Kirk and Mr. Spock for a thousand years, if we like.
With this movie. Even Fox News is saying Disney was stupid for not releasing it. It's going to be a smash hit because of all of the publicity. In America, if someone attacks your speech, you make money off of it and get to say more!
Freedom of speech in the USA is alive and well. You obviously do not have American cable.
a) anti-war filmmaker Michael Moore is more popular than ever.
b) anti-war candidate Howard Dean was extremely popular
c) there is more porn in america than in any other country
d) and as far as unpopular opinions go, I've yet to see europeans tolerate anything that smacks of wanting to pave the earth, send the black people back to africa, make the black people in charge of the united states.
e) graphic images of destruction? Christ almighty we have cable channels that show images from every war going back to when film began, and then, before film, we have people dressed up and re-enacting getting their arms blown off.
f) You take your pick, but it is only outrageous opinions that are noticed in America.
Man, if someone flashes me with headlights when they are trying to pass me, I either throw a bunch of stuff out the window at them, or, I immediately let them pass, then ride behind with my headlights on them for as long as I can, waving a pistol out the window at them. Assholes think they can push me around, wow, they gonna get shot!
The western world shudders every time Sony rumbles with the threat of another microprocessor. The Sony Processor is some magical beast that will topple Intel. Vague references to Detroit in 1974 abound, or, the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor, for the more obtuse.
But yet I wonder if Intel will really be toppled? Will there be a magic Sony box to shake Wintel's growing foothold into Sony's traditional spaces? I don't think so.
Most environmentalists do profit from seeing their initiatives passed. Their participation in their brand of religion has the same benefits to them as say, Southern Baptists have for their religion. It's an issue of control, nothing more, and the absence of a god, or the use of science to justify values (as if science can do that!) doesn't change anything.
Many environmentalists on TV, or in person, when confronted with some real facts about nuclear power, usually respond with two phrases: a) waste, but in reality any other form of energy generates -more- waste, b) chernobyl, as if saying an Airbus A300 crash means a Boeing 737 might crash.
The kneejerk reaction to nuclear power by the environmental movement is well noted and documented. The facts, though, are firmly on the side of nuclear power. Nuclear fission is the only feasible energy source (fusion too, when we get it), that does not alter global climate. Fission does not touch oceans, the way tidal generation does, fission does not touch air currents, as windmills wood, fission does not add CO2 or water vapor to the air, or extract heat from the earth. There is a problem of waste, but, viewing a potential for a nuclear waste accident in isolation without considering the guaranteed climate and health side effects of other energy sources is classic ignorance.
I would be willing to believe in environmentalists being reasonable people, but only in the same sense that I used to believe in Santa Claus too.
Really, there's less of a barrier to entry for music than there is for canned air. I would be willing to bet an air compressor and a can making machine is a lot less expensive than an acoustic guitar with a cheap PC with a microphone and a CD-ROM burner.
If you don't like what capitol records does, don't buy their music. But the artists that signed with capitol records evidently do like it, or, they wouldn't have signed. Nobody forces anyone to sign a record deal, it's just, people do, so they can make millions of dollars.
Because Europeans are not having enough children. Check the birth rate out and keep passing out that RU-486. It's good for your women to have that choice, but you aren't going to have a continent anymore for it.
1) The EU, as you stated it, has about 2/3 of the USA per head GDP. So off the wheel the EU is 33% less productive than the USA, despite all of its social services.
2) The EU has a serious demographic problem. While the USA is expected to increase its population to 460 million by 2050, the EU's population is actually expected to decline, and rather significantly. There's some talk that Germany actually may not exist 100 years from now solely due to lack of a population.
3) Chinese economic growth will be constrained by the availability of fossil fuels controlled by the United States and Europe.
4) Indian economic growth will be constrained by Indian economic policies.
For the next 50 to 100 years, the United States will be the pre-eminent economic power on the planet.
How can you not see that anti-american equates to direct threat? If a state says they are against the United States, then isn't it reasonable to assume they are going to do something about it? It's like saying that just because OJ was ragingly jealous over Nicole, he had nothing to do with her murder.
Back in the day, way long ago, AT&T was a greedy monopoly. Then, realizing it was a monopoly, AT&T invented lasers, transistors, Unix and a bunch of other stuff. But, they were a greedy monopoly first. Then, they became a benevolent monopoly, which we broke up so that we could have lots more phone ads, calling plans, and more expensive phones than ever.
If MS does morph into a benevolent monopoly like AT&T of old, should we break it up just for market's sake?
Basically, let's have the prison for any senator that does something stupid. That's probably all of them.

Many torpedos and missiles are wire guided and for a very long range. The wire is just very thin. It would actually be almost better if the ice froze around the wire and protected it...

It's all about "File|Run|Setup".
I wish IBM still made OS/2.
but that would probably get you into trouble.

If the money is good enough, I'll take the risk.
I just can't believe that all this EMF is safe.
I installed KDevelop and it doesn't work. I installed Visual Studio.NET and it does.
The intellisense on VS.NET is infinitely better than that in KDdevelop.

Windows has had this since at least Windows 2000, although it's not commonly used.

The USA has and will always advocate a United Europe because European defense is ultimately best undertaken by Europeans.
