RSA's police force is over 50% Black now,
the Head of the Police is Black don't you know ? Or are you still living in the 80's ?
If anything, it's BLACKS killing BLACKS now. The AWB menace never materialised.
Don't forget it was the Nationalist party that Stepped down. It could've been alot worse.

And beside the point: I can't relate "White Racism" to "Deserving Technology"
Ahh 2003! - 3G should have arrived by then, but how does 3G look in rsa ? I mean, you'll get a load or bandwidth through 3G - which is a good thing tm

I suppose it depends on what you're looking for in life.
Earning in a strong currency is the best way to stay ahead financialy.

I happen to get on best with intellectual Brits and Auzzies;) + I couldn't really care less about the weather. And you've got to concentrate less on having "space";) There are ways of getting around the space problem. One solution is "NOT LIVING IN OR NEAR LONDON". The further from london you go, the less houses cost, the more you get for your money, the less cramped you feel.
The space thing also happens to be in our Southern Hemisphere mindset.. we're used to vast expanses of land without a house in sight, big homes which people here would consider Mansions - When I mentioned that I had owned a pool to someone here, their jaws dropped. Basicaly, you can get used to less space.
I'll also give a mention to Europe, land'o'culture, being just a short journey away! I kinda feel safe knowing there are frenchies, germans and spaniards close by;)
Actualy, South Africa needs a good all-round Infrastructure. 80% of the population doesn't even know what "The Internet" is, let alone afford to purchase a computer. You can't have a democracy in a country where over 70% of the population isn't well educated.
South Africa is a fool's paradise, which will not last. I suggest you leave. Give that Continent a good few hundred years to sort itself out;)
England is kief, bru. The money is alot better.. and there are Swedish Babes on the other side of the north sea!:) Better yet, you need never put two and two together again.
And it's got a Great Infrastructure! There's alot of money going into Development.. etc etc.
I've noticed something:-
Retailers here in the UK don't seem to be selling many Duron machines (I mean the all-inclusive computer deals with "this amazing machine comes with a printer, webcam, obligatory scanner and pants speakers, not to mention tons of free software"(heh))
Either retailers have signed up contracts with Intel saying "our special deal machines will only contain your cpus for the next X years" or..
They're scared of Amd's minor incompatabilities with various bits of hardware - or..
On the other hand, they might just have a ton of Intel stock which they haven't sold yet, we've all seen how pc sales have slowed.
HA HA!! Look who's laughing now!
Look again - don't the screenshots look a little gimped up ? And read their site: Cell Phones! come on.. what would be the point of THAT ? "Will I be able to run applets?" from a doubting thomas.
I really wish you wouldn't be so boy-scoutish about issues. It's so two-faced, and childish for that matter. It is not at all strange that people want to stop change. The average person naturaly tries to resist change. Change means loosing your comfort zone. Think of the jump from windows to linux, from the new user's perspective. This applies to the average Academy. The Academy feels it will loose out if films start being streamed instead of screened. I can understand their point of view. Have a little empathy folks. And remmember: the only reality is change.
I could live with playing halflife from a windows machine, on linux servers... I suppose this virtualy rules out stable, easily administratable halo servers. roll on tf2 & halflife 2! *drops smoke grenade*
To get mozzila! but now that I can't kill off those pathetic porn adds, I think I'll keep my bandwidth , drop netscape, and go straight back to lynx. Btw, will lynx ever support https ? or does it already ? doesn't look so to me!

Where 20 trained visual basic monkeys are attempting to decode Kernel 2.4 and use the gleaned knowledge to improve windows!
yaaaay.
I quote case - That is TOTAL bullshit.
