It is a good idea to plan escape routes in case you don't want to meet your boss or a guy that wants his money for the movie tickets back. If you hear him on one side of the aisle you can always run to the other. And you must also have a secret escape exit in case of real emergency. You can also install some sensors that beep (or screen flashes) when somebody steps into an aisle - only if you can't afford spy camera. And always keep a note "Be right back" in the reach of your hand. Maybe a screensaver like this mapped to the keyboard is a good idea.
...survey conducted in March with 300 developers who use Linux as their main development platform... and continues More than 40 percent of respondents also felt that Linux offers more value for the money than other operating systems
What about 60% other? Do they use Linux, because it offers them less money?
But the percentage of large enterprises running some Linux servers is on the rise, with almost 50 percent of those surveyed doing so, she added.
So if I a big M* company is running two Linux servers are they in the statistics?
Some data is really confuzing: The survey also found that 77.2 percent of the developers surveyed chose Red Hat Linux as the distribution for use with a Web server or Web application server. This is more than three times the 21.8 percent who selected SuSE Linux or Mandrake. Caldera OpenLinux and FreeBSD followed, with 21.4 percent and 20.4 percent, respectively, the data showed.
Everything written in previous message is totally correct. But I think that the problem is somewhere else.
Linux Kernel was made from (supports) many standards: Posix, ISO, RFCs, ANSI... It has very good filesystem, code tables, and probably the best network support. But they had standards.
X Consortium wrote standards for X Windows. And they work great. I run about twenty computers from one server with X Windows and it works great. I couldn't do that so simple with Microsoft's systems.
But X Consortium didn't tell us much what to do with desktops. They haven't written any standards for it. They just showed us an example of a desktop that was very poor.
I think this is the reason why there are two desktops and they can't decide what will be with them. One must die. But the best way would be to cooperate, if it was still possible.
There are no standards for X Windows Desktops. Microsoft is here ahead of Linux, because they can write their own standards. Their systems have for example common protocol for sharing objects with drag and drop, cut and paste, and for intercontroling applications and also for tray applets (OLE,COM,DCOM,...).
This is what those desktops need for the start. Somebody has to write standards, a third person, so that both desktops will support it. Corba is probably a standard, that could do the job here.
Offtopic: One of the desktops simply mustn't die. Because if dies, then the other would start to write standars and make a monopol. Monopol - look what happened with Microsoft.
Developers of KDE and Gnome are doing a great job. But they sometimes just run out of material, how to do something, and they have to make up something new. That is not good. They need standards.
The formula for calculating the gravity between two objects from Newton is: Fg = G * m1 * m2 / d^2
Fg - is the force
G - is a constant that is very small (about 10^-11)
m1 and m2 - are two masses of objects attracting
d - is the distance between objects
Gravity acts between every two objects in space. Even between you and me. But because G and our "weight" is so small, we can't notice the gravity. It is very weak force.
But when gravity acts between the Earth and you, the Earth's mass is very very big and the gravity is noticable. If the gravity would be a strong force, then you'd probably change into a pancake.
We rearrange this equation: Fg=(G*m1/d^2)*m2
(G*m1/d^2) = g ~ 10 m/s
So we get the good old (and very simplified) equation: Fg= g * m
But the word weak is very relative. You must compare gravity with the other forces. And relatively it is very weak.

but I wouldn't be deterred from coming to the EU if I had to cough up my prints and/or a picture.
Yeah EU knows this, that's why it doesn't collect prints from US citizens. Do you have any other suggestions what could deter you from coming?
It really funny how employees at the US immigration office think, everybody immensely wishes to stay and live in US.

So that is what a person is suppose to do in here.
I think it is the best to stop working when the angles don't look like 90 degrees anymore.

77.2% + 21.8% + 21.4% + 20.4% = 140.8%
I this find this very amusing.
