What? The US's interventions in the Middle East
(including as I said) overthrowing elected
governments are imperialism by any reasonable
definition. Additionally the 'only democracy'
can't possibly be a democracy since it excludes
from voting a large part of the people living in its claimed territories.
Like the US organised and backed coups which overthrow the elected governments of Iran and Syria and installed dictatorships? That was 'prodding' them towards civilization!
Equally I suppose killing half a million Iraqi with sanctions was more in the same spirit, a
practical demonstration of how civilised
peoples act. Not to mention the bank rolling
of Israeli repression of the Palestinians, etc.
The US in the Middle East is not supporting the
lesser evil, it is the greater evil and its
interventions over the years have been a
complete disaster for everyone in the region.
The recounts showed Gore won in most scenarios.
THe media just didn't report it, no doubt because
to reveal GWB stole the election by the mass
disenfranchisment of black voters would have
rather undercut his claim to be defending
democracy against terrorism.
Because it's very difficult to work out the details of a hardware interface from the source
code so (with this exception clause) it doesn't count as disclosure.
The tools the previous poster mentioned actually
intercept system calls to record exactly what
a program did, tripwire only reports the
difference between two snapshots of a filesystem.
The average number of deaths per 1000 people per
year is 9.3 so the MTBF for humans is ~108
man years.

In any case, I was trying to provide a

our industry' one hears from UNIX users. In
particular Moore's law is as much as social as it
is technical, chips can be faster but stay the
same price only because the market for them is
growing so there are economies of scale. The UNIX
workstation vendors (as well as Apple, Amiga,
BeOS, etc) were based around high markup but low
volume hardware and cheap or bundled software. It
was only the PC with cheap, high volume hardware
and more expensive (and therefore closed)
software that provided a sufficent market for
Intel to make faster chips for which then
expanded the market for PCs further (since as
you say, they could then be more user friendly)
and created a virtuous circle.

It seems to me that MS have already demonstrated
it, before Microsoft (and a couple of other
closed source companies) computers were
restricted to company back offices,
universities and a few hobbyists, and
ran a hotchpotch of different, incompatible
operating systems and software. After MS
computers are (almost) a standard household
item, have virtually a single user interface
and are almost always compatible with each
other. Twenty-five years of UNIX, twenty
years of the GNU projects and ten years
of Linux have failed to achieve anything
like that benefit for users, in some
cases (the fragmentation of AT&T derived
unixes and of Linux distributions) they
have actually gone backwards.
I think what MS are worried about is that software
produced by government or university researchers
is increasingly being licensed until the GPL
(e.g. the NSA's selinux) which prevents them
using it even through it was produced with tax
payers' money.
It would probably be illegal like if he 'sold' the
company's computers to his parents for $1.

W2K to generate a core dump and then analyse it
