I agree at your base argumentation. But the same problem is containing in any indirect democracy (there will be few guys, telling al other guys what they should do, not do). So regardles what you could argue, its at least not that big problem in a direct democracy because millions of peeps have to vote yes or no (not a small elite).
Or do you think all poeple in america did like to bomb Iraq down, this was an idea of few's...
I think the real problem you describe (which describes your fears) is facism. And this can be a true problem, this was discussed in our country since the minaret thing happend (should all the peeps in switzerland really have that power).
A lot of propaganda in tv, "the evil terrorists" combined with Islam and so forth.
Generally swiss guys can only vote for things that are not violating basic human rights defined in the geneva convention or provided by organizations like the UN.
So the minaret thing is still in discussion, if it gets treaded as violating basic human rights, the vote gets discarded and will be removed.
(We can not vote for eating babies, killing black peeps).
This was the one reason they voted against the minarets (which is useless and stupid), because voting against islam in general would not be allowed or is illegal. For two reasons;
- It violates basic human rights
- It violats the freenes of religion in basic. (At this point there was a huge discussion if voting against minarett is vioalting)
I'm swiss and in my personal opinion, even as swiss voter, you are not allowed to ban that, because it harms the freenes of religion and a minarett does not itself brake any laws. They also can not put speakers on it (because they are to loud, as the christ. churches bells).
But if your religion forces you to do something considered as illegal in here, you are not allowed to do so. There is another discussion at the moment about the jews and kosher meat.
Additionaly, changes in our swiss law (if they apply it to the whole country) have to be approved by the whole population, because we are used to do direct democracy (sad to say we also vote for stupid things, you know).
I like this (replying on top);
"by placing replies at the top of the message"
But I think you moron know that I am a 'b00n'. And you are so super fantastic geeky because you already did mailing lists in the 90's. (Where the other way can make sense).
If I call you a moron, I don't expect a reply like "you told me moron, I tell you childish". Its ok if you just tell me beeing childish.
We here in switzerland are used to put people in Gas Chambers or on the electric chair (maybe a buzzer in native english?) if they do not register. After we drank them...
To avoid that you had to change fundamentals in your law. "Precedence" law (hope this word means what i mean) is always tricky to handle without thousands of rules.
See census plus, it does exactly what is described here. Scans a whole server every 15min.
However you need an account and the proper server. Its not that easy like viewieing the website, but regardless of that, its areldy possible.
Now you got the diff between Linux and Windows. Bravo!
No windows user will ever recompile anything. So you have theese deployment problems, I you dont worry about your prereqs and dont update via Installer, its your problem as developer.
Of course the implementation in windows could be better;-)
Oh my god stop that.
Even If the had implemented the complete standard. IE 6 and 7 do not.
There are concepts on Microsoft Operating Systems, which are called "backwards compatibility" and "Long Term Support" maybe you understand this. I agree with you that a Linux User accepts it when you have to relink/compile the stuff for the newest kernel updates.
But this is not true for Windows Users, if you like it or not.
IE6 was released 27. August 2001. Even if they had implemented all the stuff that time, they will not break compatibilty only because there is a newer spec out. And they will not copy the renderengine for every version of the new W3C standard to avoid that.
Omg, full ACK.
This is something that generally annois me when developing with the criple studio 2008 under windows. All those "integrated" and "out of the box" tools are developed for some kind of MS northwind-sample "Adress Management". If you have a little more advanced needs, you just get slapped as in Hitchhikers Guide.

But it does not go to kernel panic when deplugging usb drives

WoW, great comparison. YMMD :-)
Have to note that...
So the uber idiot is calling the next idiot an idiot, because of an idiot architecture... Get a job and get adult you morrons.

Is this not a problem when it comes to size on disk and memory usage?

So you need an MIT degree to catch this?
