Doesn't it crack anyone up that germany of all countries has the gall to tell the rest of the world what is right or not? For that matter japan? Yet both want a seat on the security council. Lets see, we have had two world wars both started by the germans. How about eh. NO.
Here's a little history lesson for you:
1870
France invades Germany
Germany (Prusia) wins and gets Alsace as compensation.
1914
Germany invades France
1920-ies
France occupies Germany
(together with Belgium and others) and force German labor for the French, greatly humiliating the Germans
1940
Germany invades France
This went back and forth for a thousand years.
Luckily the allies that won the Second World War realized you shouldn't humiliate the losing party.
So please stop blaming the current generation for a thousand year conflict that ended *sixty* years ago.
I haven't worked with vmWare in a long time, how does the performance stack up these days?
I have sarge on a P4-3Ghz with 3GB RAM, this allows me to run several vmware machines (Suse 10, FC4, Solaris 9, Solaris 10, MS 2003, MS XP) simultaneously without any visible performance loss. Great for playing around with samba/postfix/whatever networking stuff...
Indeed, NASA is currently adapting hardware that puts stuff in orbit, the Chinese also have different rockets to put stuff in orbit, and are actively developing larger rockets.
My bet is on China. Russia is currently the leading space power, but they lack money. China has money and will surpass the russians soon. The US is no longer in the game, because the US spends all it's resources on lawyers and internal politics.
The reason is simple: China is still many years from building a launch vehicle capable of flying a manned mission to the Moon. While the Americans can adapt Space Shuttle hardware for Moon missions, I don't know of any other nation that have the proven hardware to fly Moon missions.
Bullshit (sorry), spaceshuttle can only fly 300 kilometers high, nothing of that will aid in going to the moon, which btw is a thousand times farther...
Less free memory (as reported by top or free) does not mean the distro is a memory hog, it could very well mean the distro is taking advantage of the *full* memory available on the computer.
Microsoft consumer: -xbox -windows xp -ms office (and other aps) -games -all enduser based stuff
Microsoft Business: -Server 2003 -SQL Server -ISA server -all server based stuff
This way we end up with two seperate companies, one controlling the servers, another the desktops and the consumer apps and devices. The 'server' company will have to publish standards on how to interoperate with their servers, hence other clients can also interoperate. Big advantage is that there will be TWO microsoft operating systems going their separate way. Each with their own market, each with their own improvements. All businesses will be forced to seperate negoticiations for desktops and servers.
After a while, most viruses will only work on one of the two operating systems.
Because it would cost them money to (1) write coherent and complete documentation and (2) review that documentation to make it safe and legal for public consumption. Why would they spend all the extra time and money to do that when it doesn't bring them any more profit?
Because they (should) already have these docs to write the Microsoft driver ?
I am not an economist, but it seems rational that any (capitalist) government would want a labour force larger than the number of jobs available, so that supply exceeds demand, and the jobs market becomes a buyers' market, thus keeping labour costs (i.e. wages) low in order to keep business profitable, and to help to economy grow
IANAE, but this is not true for Belgium. All unemployed people are payed by the government (most get around 800-1000 euros) and this is costing the government a lot of money! The Belgian economy would be far better of if more people were working (and paying taxes).

Altantis seems to be very mobile. It's been spotted in Cyprus now. Last time it was Ireland, before that it was in Spain and then Gibraltar Prior to that it was in the mid atlantic where it moved to from Greece. Of course, it's original location was off the coast of Cornwall.
There is no link whatsoever between energy production in Belgium and roadlights being on or off (as explained in Jongens & Wetenschap). The reason that lights are soemtimes on during the day, is to be able te repair the broken ones.

I just like it more......I like the way it works, i like how i can edit most files in plain text, i like that i can configure most of the stuff just like i want it......i like the open source, being able to troublehsoot stuff...
In a way...using linux means getting back all the good stuff from OS/2...
maybe this is not making sense...but i just like it more than Windows.
I work as a freelance Microsoft Certified Teacher in Europe (teaching Windows networking, not development). Most of my students are from medium to large organizations.
Most of them are in the process of migrating their NT4 domains to Active Directory (2000 or 2000/2003 mixed). This is just like two years ago!! Really, most of them are working over two years on this migration.
One difference is that two years ago i didn't hear anyone mention linux or OSS, now they ask about it (There is at least one newbie-linux-minded-guy in every class nowadays) And they definitely want to know a lot more (when they find out i teach unix/linux too).
Hint for other teachers: I stress on tcp/ip, internet, dhcp, dns being very successful open standards.

You mean weaker because you have bigger guns, right ?
Actually, the biggest bully on the block is usually the weakest...
