Nonsense. RMS wouldn't claim that Free software is economicaly better than non-free. Nor would he claim that it will be "better" (more features, better implementation). Nor would he claim that will automaticaly dissapear. Those are "open software" (aka ESR) arguments.
RMS would claim (and rightly so, in my opinion) that Free software is free, and that freedom is a good thing. He claims that free software allows you to decide how you want to use the software, where non-free software is hedged around with unacceptable restrictions.
No, that's not the only problem, what about the other people in the house, who you may not want to kill, or the people in the house next door, or...
You can't just keep killing innocents and claiming "oh, sorry, we didn't mean to do that" when you know it is a predictable consequence of your actions.
The most decisive American contribution was spy satellite and intelligence information, and the rescheduled supply of AIM-9L Sidewinder missiles (which were much more efficient than older models of the Sidewinder, due to their all-aspect targeting capability), allowing the UK to ship its NATO inventory south. Margaret Thatcher stated that "without the Harrier jets and their immense manoeuvrability, equipped as they were with the latest version of the Sidewinder missile, supplied to us by U.S. Defence Minister Caspar Weinberger, we could never have got back the Falklands". Most of the Sidewinder air to air engagements, however, proved to be from the rear.
So the US let us look at the spy satellite images - which proved that the runway at Port Stanley wad destroyed when it wasn't - and sold us new Sidewinders - which weren't needed as we mostly shot the Argies in the bum.
So, what exactly is your plan for stopping Iran getting nukes? Destroy their two biggest enemies (al-queda and Saddam)?
Since 9/11 the US has helped Bin Laden achieve his major war aim (US troops out of Saudi), destroyed Iran's enemies and given control of Iraq to Iranian allies.
Tidal power comes from the energy contained in the orbiting of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun(*). It's as correct to say that it comes from the earth as to say it comes from the (moon, sun), i.e. not very.
My memory of the media/public response at the time is rather spotty, but I don't feel that the U.S.'s decision to invade Iraq was really questioned until a reasonable amount of time after it had occurred.
The U.S.'s decision to invade Iraq was critised from the day it was made, sometime around 20jan2001.
Insert the installer CD and boot in expert-mode (don't hit ENTER when you boot, but rather type "expert").
Partitioning:
Select manual partitioning. Remove all partitions (if any). Create a 100 MB/boot (ext3) as primary partition, and make the rest of the hard drive one huge partition which has "Use as:" set to "physical volume for encryption".
The standard options for cipher, key size, IV mode etc. should be fine (AES, 256 bit, CBC-ESSIV-SHA256, dm-crypt).
After the erasing is done (this is important!), use the whole encrypted space as "physical volume for LVM". Then select "Configure the Logical Volume Manager". Create one big volume group and a bunch of logical volumes for the various partitions we'll use (lv-root, lv-usr, lv-var, lv-tmp, lv-swap, lv-home).
It is extremely important that your swap space is encrypted (in this case it is, as all partitions except for/boot reside on a dm-crypt device)! Never set up unencrypted swap!
In 2005 "natural increase" (i.e. growth due to births > deaths, not counting immigration) was +247 400 (provisional figures) with a population of 60 873 484, i.e. around +4.1 per 1000. (Imigration was around +95 000).
The population is getting older, but then again with around 10% unemployment at the moment there's still a lot of slack.
France has the 2nd highest birthrate in Europe, behind Ireland.

1956. Suez.
Why do you think the French built the "force de frappe"?
Uh, I suppose you do know that is the current situation?
The "independent" nuclear deterrent is a joke, the missiles are US made, the warheads are US designed, the launch keys are in US hands.
Things never to say on Slashdot, but
MOD THE PARENT UP!!!!!!!!
So there is no genocide in Darfur then?
'Cos it's the same guys with the same methodology that came up with those numbers too.
No the problem isn't people shooting f16's with ak47's.
The problem is thinking you can use an f16 to shoot a guy with an ak47.

Maybe you'd better learn to look before you leap.
Outside of war, and possibly some US cities, doctors don't need much experience sewing battle casualties back together.
Better for them to spend their time learning useful things.
Well, no.
Tidal power comes from the energy contained in the orbiting of the moon around the earth and the earth around the sun(*). It's as correct to say that it comes from the earth as to say it comes from the (moon, sun), i.e. not very.
Well, no.
All (*) our power stems from "a" sun (or suns), but not ours.
(Solar, wind, waves, hydro => our sun now)
(Coal, oil, gas => our sun long ago)
(Nuke => the same supernova or novae that all the rest of our non-hydrogen atoms came from).
((*) Tidal?)
Only if they have kids. Oh, sorry, you said geeks, never mind.
Evolutionary dead end.
No you don't, it's Chuck Norris that kills people
Oh no, not the electrodes again!

No.
Aaargh, i miswrote - meant to say "awk regexps are all extended".
Sorry.
On SVR5:
$ man awk
[...]
Patterns are arbitrary Boolean combinations of extended regular
expressions (see egrep(1)) and relational expressions.
Are you sure that solaris awk uses grep regexps instead of egrep ones? What does
$ echo yes | awk '/yes|no/'
print?
If you think you can use "grep -w" everywhere you've already lost.
/fred/ { print }'
/fred/ {print}'
$ grep -w
usage: grep [-[[AB] ]] [-[CEFGVchilnqsvwx]] [-[ef]] []
For grep -v try
$ awk '/fred/ { next } {print}'
Or, simpler:
$ awk '$0 !~
For grep -i
$ awk 'tolower ($0) ~
No need for egrep; grep regexps are all extended.
Gush, gush, gush...
Some ISP's (Interoute for one) are offering a "no TV" deal - they block all video content so you don't have to pay the TV tax.
I have no idea how this is supposed to work, or even if it will work.
