A lot of you wish for the american people to considder exactly why they are hated. You should remember that the american people are not to totally to blame, it is the Federal Government. Believing it is acting in the best interests of America and the Democratic ideal, it has done some horrific deeds.
Take Iran for example, In the early '50's iran was considdered a shining beacon of democracy in the middle east, having a democratic and popular government. This popular and democratic government made the decision to nationalise the countrys oil industry, which was TOTALLY owned by the British. This, of course got the backing of the countrys communist party. As a reaction, with the hysteria in the US over communism in the '50's, the CIA, along with MI6 replaced this democratic government with a horribly oppressive government under the shah. This can be directly linked to the islamist revolution in '79. Through your own imperialist greed, you created anouther poor and socially damaged nation. America, as usual, proved to the world it had learned nothing from this exploit by repeating the act in Chile, putting pinochet into power, who murdered thousands.
The reasons you are hated are many and varied, and unfortuantly, just.
I live in South Brit. I know a kid who did manage to gain access to the school system, and was caught (while doing it, rather than due to a lack of skill). The kid was punished, however, the IT staff allowed him to aid in the securement and setting up of the network.
Giving these kids a productive output for their skills WILL make them far less likely to abuse the system, as they will build a relationship with the staff, who's job it is to maintain this stuff.
What's wrong with self advancement?. People are inperfect, they can be injured, killed, diseased.
Why not geneticly modify people, making mankind a more flexible and superior race. For example, gene's from certian lizards will allow the regrowth of limbs if lost, or quicker clotting of the blood, better eye sight etc. . Down with religious rule.
I wan't cat's eyes, for cool looks and night vision.
Linux needs DRIVERS 4 Hardware. I've got a list of new hardware thats NOT supported as long as my arm. I don't want to go for second best because the kernel doesn't contain drivers for a peice of hardware. Plus, we need a organised system for submitting drivers and patches.
Contribute to www.linhardware.com too.
Intel holds the patent for APIC, the smp structure. AMD will need to use openAPIC or their own standard before they can release. This means the kernel may need some work before supporting it.
Who says the code we will see will be the code deployed anyway. There's going to be "PATCHES" released, the then the arguement with start all over again.
People are allways running to bash bt here.
I think they are a good company, offering a good service. (but a little pricy). My phone broke, it was back on in 2 hours, on a bank holiday AND I got compensation. Plus, I'm getting ADSL installed and I live on the Edge of a town of only 80,000.
Adsl is a little overpriced however.
Would you buy it? I'm not. No way. I won't pay for anything if there is a good alt, like SO. Now that star Office is open, maybe we should take this on princible, and buy linux Q3a. That would prompt more games on linux, and that's were we lack.
Now the're on our turf. Can we play monopoly?.
Can I be the shoe??. Should we make "kernel related" problems for microsoft programs, or change the GPL to include a microsoft clause that forbids microsoft from linking to GPL'd libs or using the kernel functions or Xfree without opening their sources??

They only say no www or ftp servers.
They say nothing about rsync or mail servers,
or a DNS pointer including a few MX 100 entrys.
