False. Enterprise financial apps don't depend on changing hardware every year like graphics applications. And "just plain works" doesn't mean is maintainable. And I would doubt very strongly that someone knows 30-year-old-multi-million-lines-apps of financial code in Fortran well enough to be sure that it does what it is supposed to do...
One feature that CVS has, or better say that WinCVS has is the graph of versions. I love that graph, it let's me see the revision tree at a glance and diff between any revisions just selecting them. That's a feature that you won't be seeing in Subversion because the info is not avalaible to the client. As in Subversion tags/branchs are not first class citizens I don't know it ever will be implemented. At least that was the status the last time I checked some months ago and no release from that did suggested it would change in the near future.
That report is about conventional weapons. This report from the same site says: "Other countries, among them the UK and the USA,33 were also accused of supporting the Iraqi CBW programme by the sale of chemicals and technology. In the UK it was discovered that chemicals on the Australia Group's control list had been sold to Iraq from 1988 to October 1990." May be the same WMD that justified the war?
Surprise: Hitler was democratically elected. You don't stop being human by democracy. You could be elected and have some bodies buried in the basement. And you could not have been elected and still be president of the USA. Nah, that can't happen right?
So? The same could be said of US. First they support Saddam, when gets out of control then is the son of Satan. After 9/11 there was a lot of antiarab in the press. Bush has the monopoly on caring only in their economical-political interest?
this one is different from the ORI survey I quoted from the Guardian article. The Boston article also cites a Gallup poll. TAE states that 51 percent feels that "Democracy is a western thing that will not work here" the Boston says "In one question in the Oxford poll, nearly all Iraqis (90.3 percent) want some form of democracy." Which one do you believe? Anyway it seems to me that ORI must be a little more objective than The American Enterprise:-)
Good one. You give a dictator some weapons. Then you invade the country for what they could do to you (when they use them with others don't give a damn) with those weapons and then made them use your products and pay the reconstruction. They are so grateful now. Don't let those idealistic left wing liberals discourage you. I'm going to invade my own country just to practice.
You made two mistakes: 1) talking bad about mysql at slashdot. A mob of open source zealots is going after you:-) 2) Bin Laden and Saddam hate each other. The server is full of emails of the '80s of Saddam asking Rumsfeld when they will deliver the chemical and biological weapons and Rumsfeld's appraisal for Saddam good work fighting evil Iran.
The fact is we know what the iraqis think because there is an interesting poll made by Oxford Research International that somehow hasn't seem to be too much know in US. Wonder why, had to watch CNN:-) Some quotes: "50 percent said the United States will hurt Iraq; only 35.3 percent said the United States would help" "while 42.3 percent of Iraqis say the best thing that happened to them was the demise of the Saddam regime, 35.1 percent said the worst thing that happened was the war, the bombings, and the defeat of the Iraqi army." "Asked how much confidence they had in U.S. and British forces in Iraq, 56.6 percent of respondents said they had none at all and 22.2 percent said they didn't have very much confidence, while only 7.6 percent had ``a great deal.''"

We all knew X is obsolete but not a century old. Anyone willing to move X11 into the 21 century? Someone? ;-)

If Philip K. Dick resurrects and watchs Total Recall he would commit suicide. Twice.
I actually did some experiments to check if this has a scientifical basis. I just don't seem to remember the results...
That is not the point. They will be used no matter what you think. Ignoring how people uses their software is ignoring reality.

Then what you are saying is that US provided the majority of non-conventional Weapons of Massive Destruction (WMD)?
So? The same could be said of US. First they support Saddam, when gets out of control then is the son of Satan. After 9/11 there was a lot of antiarab in the press. Bush has the monopoly on caring only in their economical-political interest?
...that means if you use it you have to pay a feee to SCO, right?
Sued by... by customers bwahaha haha... not... 'nough...ha haha... air...got...to...breath...hahah sued.... customers....
Do you mean I have to pay SCO licence again?

It's because Iraq is controlled by a terrorist, dictatorial, abusive government. Oh wait...
Me not understand changelogg. Should I upgrade? Please explain diference with Windows 3.1

Nobody forced US to start the war. Preventive war isn't a good argument else.

You're right. It's cheaper when they pay their own dictators.
No, they wanted the right to choose other people dictators. That's freedom :-)
So much wisdom and so little knowledge of geography.

On Fox News of course.
If it is on TV it must be true. Garfield.
Naaah! U$S 100 million movies has no money left to pay for that kind of luxury. Perhaps for the deluxe collector wrapped-in-human-skin edition...
