I would pity the day Americans are allowed to walk the streets with concealed nuclear missiles tucked under their belts. I can imagine interesting scenes of accidental discharge......
Having looked around on the major news networks, I can't see any mention of spy satellites being hijacked.
This is all a load of bollocks, and it says more about/. readers than anything else.
*/. readers are all a load of loopy, paranoid Americans who think they know all there is to know about any other country's business.
Why on Earth would anyone bother to hijack a UK spy sat, when US ones are much better? Hell, I didn't even know we had any spy satellites and I bloody live here!
Oh, and mind your own bloody business about Northern Ireland. That's nobody's business but ours and the Irish (and the people who live in Ulster, of course).
Sodding Americans are useless at foreign policy. Look at Vietnam, current problems in China, Iraq, Israel, etc. You're not even any good at shooting people, and you've got more guns than anyone else - you always end up shooting yourselves in 'friendly fire' incidents.
Come and have a go if you think you're hard enough.
I think Amiga have missed the boat on the current wave of OSes. I was an Amiga user way back when, but since Commodore went under the platform has lost a lot of steam. Sure, there is a lot of activity, but the user base has totally shrivelled up. To get the OS off the ground, there need to be a lot of people using it. This isn't going to happen unless it runs on x86 and has a lot of hardware and software support. Let's face it, this just isn't going to happen overnight. There are other OSes already out there. BeOS is well placed to fill the market that the AmigaOS is aiming for. Linux is gaining a lot of server ground, and will be on the desktop in 2-3 years, with KDE and Gnome. Linux and BeOS have a lot of ex Amiga users, those who faced reality and went to x86 years ago. Do we really need another OS for the x86 platform, when most of the advantages of the Amiga OS can be had on other OSes now, and the hardware advantages have long since been superseded?
