How the people of Palestine feel when you provide the weapons for Israel's modern-day Holocaust against them
How the people of Tripoli felt when your airforce unleashed a night of bombing because your president thought Libya was a good enough scapegoat for somebody else's crime.
How the people of Cambodia felt when your miltary slaughtered two million of them because Henry Kissinger didn't like the government in the next country.
How the people of Viet Nam felt having you wage total war on them because you didn't like the government they were about to (democratically) elect.
How people suffering life under dictators installed by the US feel.
How the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki felt when the US used atomic bombs on their ready-to-surrender country just to prove that they worked.
How the passengers on that Iranian Airbus felt when your navy decided it hadn't killed enough civilians.
How the innocent civilians of Baghdad feel every night when your heroic USAF drops tonnes of high explosive on them from the safety of a great height.
Maybe the USA will realise that there are actually good reasons why much of the world hates it. Maybe the USA will stop trying to impose its own view on anybody who has the temerity to elect a government that Uncle Sam doesn't approve of.
Maybe, but I'm not holding my breath. Especially with a war-monger like Bush in the White House.
I've been involved in a project like this for my employer. We have over 100000 PCs in two thousand or so buildings all over the UK. It's estimated that it costs in excess of 100 UK Pounds for each site visit, so every remote fix saves a lot of money. Our helpdesk operators found that they could sort out the vast majority of problems with remote control.
The Downside though was that we managed to buy a product that just couldn't scale to the size of our business and still work reliably, so after two years and several million pounds we're having to rip it out and go with a new product.
If you're evaluating a product, ask to be put in touch with users who have similar sized enterprises to your own and find out from them what problems they've had. I'd be loth to name the product we failed with publicly (British libel law works well to protect big business against even genuine criticism) but it's one I wouldn't touch ever again. Let's just say it's produced by a subsidiary of a US company that might be in some way related to HAL.
It looks nice, but good grief, It's sooooooooo slow!
I tried loading a largeish page from my website (from local disc, to avoid network discrepancies) and it took over a minute to load. The same page loads in six seconds with 4.7.
They're going to have to do some serious tuning to get this useable.

Yeah, right!
Never mind how many innocent civilians get killed. After all, they won't be American civilians, so they don't matter, do they?
And the USA wonders why people hate it with jerks like you around.
Now you know...
