  3. Spellcheck for title on A Strategic Comparison of Windows Vs. Unix · · Score: 1

  4. Corporate NUSpehere paid FUD? on Open Source Database Underdogs · · Score: 1

    Anybody notice that {the article mentions/ quotes NuSphere extensively, mentions InterBase (what is it?) prominently}
    Mysql.com is mentioned as a competitor rather than an upstream developer.

    Who paid for the booze/women?

  5. Techno War: The unknown element called Will on Fighting the Techno-War · · Score: 1

    As Katz has said, War can't be won by technology alone. Politicians (and sometimes whole populations) forget the things that led to the war. The motivation of the fighters is often underestimated.
    There is one thing nobody can BREAK. A person's WILL. A war especially fought in an impersonal manner using machines can destroy houses, supply lines, armaments. But the will of a population to fight and survive in adverse but familiar circumstances can never be predicted by arm-chair politicians and strategists as americans found out in vietnam.
