I use it on an AMD 2200+ with 768 MB of RAM (my primary PC) and it can be incredibly sluggish, and typically can only be open for less than 6 hours before I find it chewing through everything. Since I have stopped downloading stuff, documents, pictures etc, using FF it can be up for days without any noticeable slowdown.
I now use Konqueror for the downloading and it never gives a problem.

The council of ministers (Unelected body) tried to overrule them and the Parliament turned up with an overall majority to strike them down (More out of spite for the open abuse of the democratic process than any dislike of software patents, but hey). What a bunch of British Tabloid Bull, the European Council of Ministers is appointed by their respective governments who are in turn all democratically elected.
When you don't like what your member of the Council does then make sure he (his and your government) is called into the national parliament to answer questions.
At the same time this division of powers does make it much harder for a lobbyist to screw the democratic process.
In Europe overhead lines are even in rural places a rare exception.
So in Europe the feasibility/cost of copper vs. fibre is not influenced by digging.
What made you think a standard machine could handle this type of network throughput?
Of course it's hard to install Windows on such a specialised beast! (A *nix would have been the logic choice.)
And why are you claiming this does not cure the Last Mile problem when this is story is all about fibre straight in the home?
I've never used Mandriva, I started out with an early Red Hat till the second Fedora release.
Because I could not always get the answers I needed with Fedora and after playing with a (Debian based) Knoppix install I went with Kubuntu.
I find the biggest attraction of *ubuntu lies in the very helpful user base.
Of course all the effort Ubuntu has and is putting in hardware support and ease of install is a big bonus too.
Interesting for a foreigner (Alien).
Generally my command of English is sufficent but here I am left with questions;
Is it a change over time in the meaning of the word (well)-regulated or is it an accepted/acceptable legal meaning I wonder?
Does this mean people under 17 or over 45 cannot bear arms as easily as those in the brackets?
Uhh, I read "A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State"
Since when are you or any other individual A well-regulated Militia?
Nothing more perverts the issue than those that try to make the battle against pseudoscience into a "rights" issue. I don't hear too many people complaining because high school history classes don't teach the "controversy" of whether the Holocaust happened or not,
But there is a slight difference, for example here in The Netherlands 1 in 6 people alive have witnessed WWII.
Although the people of Little Faith that follow ID and creationism claim a Young Earth and generations of ancestors with the age of Methuselah, no-one is around that witnessed that 'recent' creation...
And maybe you misunderstood me, I have no patience for people that try any (fake) argument to harm European Unity.
The Polish officials that came up with the demand all Polish killed during WWII should be included to increase their present and future EU voting rights should be put away forever.
European Unity is a beautiful goal, for Millennia the continent has been suffering violent strife, this will only stop when all regions get a level playing field. Ludicrous nationalism as shown by the present Polish government is not serving anyone's interest, especially not those of the Polish people.
Please don't confuse pride in one's origin with nationalism, the first is a helpful tool for progress, the latter shuts it down.
Thank God "rogue" states like Poland are bombarding and vetoing every decision the EU makes,
Yeah, Poland is a shining example of Freedom and democracy.
As long as you are catholic, not gay and don't publish silhouette photo's of the Prime Minister or the President...
Amin to that. I used to say the EU has better privacy laws than the US. I now retract all my words. Sorry to everyone. It seems the EU can neither hold their appetite for control and surveillance. I guess it's in the government's blood or something. Why do people in charge have to be imbeciles?
Although I'm not happy about the way the EU looks at data retention I'm when comparing US and EU privacy legislation still very happy to be on the EU side.
In most European nations we have strict privacy laws governing private enterprise.
With a few exceptions, mainly ex-eastern block members, Europeans (can) trust their governments regarding surveillance.
Because the British government (meaning the cabinet and prime minister) love to have the EU do the sort of things they want to do, but might not be able to do if Britain was independant because of parliament and public opinion. Indeed, the UK has sufficient history in undercover and public ways to monitor it's population to not be any cleaner than the rest of Europe, indeed there is every reason to believe the UK government is applauding the present (US-inspired) tactics of the EU.
The EU concil of ministers, being unelected, are not bothered by MPs or public opinion.
Pfff you are one sad sucker! Why don't you start reading more than just the British tabloid press?
The members of the EU council of ministers are elected in their respective countries of origin and (their parties) will have to explain their actions in their home parliaments.
But indeed the Germans are known for their "Gründlichkeit", thoroughness for the uneducated, and would just about by default try to make these EU regulations as watertight as possible.
Last year I heard somewhere that about half of the worlds Legal books are published in Germany, a sure sign of how important they take their laws...
Companies that take the safety of their employees seriously (OK, at least they like to be perceived that way) have already banned any use of a phone or two-way radio by the driver.
Examples are Shell and BP.
You are very right.
And just as curious is the statement that it was the first time a scramjet had been ignited within the Earth's atmosphere, because by design a scramjet doesn't carry it's own Oxygen the atmosphere is the only place it can ignite.
All together a rather sad summary of a nice engineering feat.
Who in his right mind would challenge science?
Ah, you are a scientist.
Or just a misguided creationist?
Since a pack of wolves instantly jump on me and call me a troll everytime I do.
It's probably by lack of the Mod classes of Idiot and Heathen.
When your faith in God (no not 'your God', after all there's only one) is so limited that you cannot accept His hand in Evolution you might be a non-believer after all...
Martian atmosphere is about 1% of the density we prefer (~1 Bar).
To increase the pressure to a survivable few 100 mBar would require several kilometers...

If this is imposed upon the Swedes, why not on other (European) nations?
Strange sort of explaining the workings of Swedish police and democracy.

The US is among the developed nations by any standard the country with most executions.
Which is not comparable to China.
