If you think there's a lack of opportunities here in the United States, I strongly reccomend you try out one of the "better" countries to verify your position. Isn't it about time we (meaning intelligent americans) put together a liberties and freedoms checklist, comparing the US and other countries, to put an end to this mindless liberal blathering?
So, Bush tossed away the $1.5B that Clinton threw at this, and is simply tossing GM and it's cronies a $125M package next year instead. Hasn't anyone noticed that Toyota and Honda have already delivered their vehicles? I'm all for investing in America, but when, if ever, is this corporate welfare going to produce the goods!?
I would assume you've visited the place already, but if you haven't, you'll need to. Despite a similar language, culturally it's chalk & cheese. I lived there all my life and found it oppressive. I prefer the US considerably.

Going through the server specs, it's a nice workgroup machine, but the list of backup options has only a 250Mb zip drive. For a 72Gb (single disk) machine, this is pathetic. Apple should at least partner with someone to produce TBU options. In my opinion, you should go with SCSI from the outset, adding disks is a snap, and you get to bypass some of the controller contention that can bite you when messing with video.
in all your points, but shouldn't you be allowed to make up your own mind, instead of having the government "protect" you by censoring what you hear? The BBC has "quality" reporting, sure, but to suggest it has freedom in reporting is ignoring some fundamental issues.
you want to hear what someone like, say, Gerry Adams has to say. And then the Govt. censorship kicks in just nicely. Thanks, but I'll take Fox News over the BBC any day!
In the UK the "loser" pays the "winner" court costs. I used to think this was correct, but after seeing the US system in play, I don't think that. Having the risk of being liable for the other parties court costs discourages the little guy from filing suits. Yeah, it sucks that you are out of pocket, but imagine if you decided to sue McDonalds, for example, wouldn't you approach it with a different perception, if you knew you could end up with a bill for thousands of dollars of lawyers fees if you lost? Wouldn't you maybe think it just wasn't worth it, even if you thought you had a good case, but weren't sure?
I thought the same thing - the variant I recall attempted to hack IIS, then put up pages that hacked IE, and tried to get in through outlook too. It wasn't so much that it exploited vulnerabilities, it was that it seemed to attack on so many fronts, and simply caused *lots* of disruption. Heck the internet was even noticeably slower afterwards, my own web server was getting close to 1000 Code Red hits an hour, according to the logs, and I don't even run a commercial site.
One way of eliminating the Linux "threat" is to change the PC as we know it, in a manner that locks it away. Very clever.

Man that's great - as a long time PKD reader(I even named my son Philip after him), I wasn't aware of this. And by Crumb too! And online! Heh heh, nice end to the work day! Thanks.

Greenspuns method to block unwanted access was to invoke the users "Microsoft expectation level". This means you make the service appear "unreliable". Run a cron job to randomly block the entire yahoo domain, so that the users know that yahoo chat works "some" of the time, but not all. Just like windows, in fact. The usage will drop accordingly. Note, I've actually done this for several services, and it works just fine, and is non-confrontational, and also avoids the "corporate dictator" feeling.
I have recently bought a few items, like walkie-talkies, household tools etc. The prices in the ads, and in the stores (best buy, good guys, sears and so on) were all different, and shopping around saved me $$$. I usually do this when I'm about to buy something, so I don't have to go to many stores. So, respectfully, I disagree, the facts don't bear it out.
I worked in a record store at the time CD's were introduced. We had some informational material from Sony etc. that stated "LP's will continue to be produced, alongside CD's, but the cost of CD's will drop till the point where there's no point in buying vinyl" and "over the next few years we will re-release our entire back catalog onto CD". What actually happened was that the price of albums was RAISED to match CD's before albums disappeared. And now, 18 or so years later, the back catalog has failed to appear. There's STILL stuff I want to buy on CD that I cannot. For that music, mp3 off the net has solved my problem. I would not have minded spending $10 or so per album to replace them. But most of the time that wasn't provided. And now I get to download an album for $10, but if I want media I have to burn my own? Where do these clowns get off?

You bet. It wouldn't be fair, or accurate, if it wasn't a realistic comparison.

On W2K - service packs, about 10% of hot fixes, and anything to do with IIS require a reboot. Take your head out of the sand.
So much for "two nines". Nothing, I repeat nothing, can withstand the /. hordes ...

Sure that's an interesting and provocative situation. Doesn't back up the ridiculous liberal hyperbole on iota tho'
