    Now why did know ths subject was guarenteed to get some moronic (probably but not neccessarily aerican) pro-freearket prat stating that unions are evil, stifle initiative etc

    Lets just make one very clear point - for employees to be able to show initiative they have to feel that they are not going to be sacked for speaking out of line

    Sorry to dissillusion you but this the normal situation in non-union shops

    Wow - I was even polite

    3. Governments have many flaws but without governments you have the law of the jungle with no protection whatsoever - eg the power of the employee does not match that of the employer.

    4. No I don't think governments are always right or perfect (guess my politics from the userid)

    BTW I don't agree with the legislation but ridiculous arguments like yours do no-one any good

    Very bad day to post this CRAP!!!

    One of my access databases decided to corrupt itself for no apparent reason, which about sums up MS and I have spent all afternoon recovering

    I use Linux as my primary desktop OS at home and work (company is slowly migrating which is why I have access db's)

    2) You get the source code of the OS. So what, I have never looked at the source. I never plan on looking at the source. So having access to the source is not a good argument.

    With the source you decide how the program works, ie how fast how much debugging info etc

    3) Linux is stable. So is DOS. The Linux GUI is no stable. Software packages crash all the time. Stability is not a good argument either.

    When a linux app crashes it does not bring down the OS - nuff said

    Basically Linux does what I tell it to and M$ doesn't

    A few points

    First off I must admit I have never used a Netscape Pr release but my only Browser is Galeon/Mozilla from cvs

    I can understand the Netscape approach for one simple reason - the standard Moz builds still have loads of debugging code . So I can understand why Netscape would want to concentrate on optiization rather than iplementing every single fix.

    t was always going to be true that things that worked in NS4 were going to be broken in Mozilla becase Netscape is NOT standards compliant
