I think that the deals that were done (food for oil) were done within the limits of the UN sactions. Maybe some multinationals went over those boundaries? You saw this elsewhere than Fox News at the height of the crisis?
Oil companies had rebuilt infrastructure since the first Gulf War. That I am aware of. They lost billions that will never be repaid - but these are companies not the country (yes the state is often a minimal shareholder in some companies - no secret there).
French international politics are very heavily influenced by its belief that the UN is good and they try to abide by UN decisions. This is where the US and France differ the most. It was very clear to France that WMD were not there (France is a big armement seller). I think that the non respect of the UN is the major issue. The US and the UK don't give a damn about the UN that is well documented everywhere.
As for visas: I got married and had French children...
I'm not French but I do live here (I love cheese).
Funny you brought this up because in the news last week was "the power stations are getting old, what do we do now?". The equipment is geting old, some plants are ready to be closed and no new plants have been built in a while. So it is far from perfect.
The other big problem is we get sent the nuclear waste of other nations because they don't have the means to treat it. Germany's waste is OK but waste being shipped from Japan is a lot less cool. Think of the kind of accidents it could have on the way. In the Panama canal for example...
By the way George (the old one) never had any problem with the French. I would appreciate very much that republicans like yourself cut the crap and get on with the idea that there are sovereign countries outside of your borders. France said "No we aren't coming, this is a bad idea" to the war in Iraq. So did Canada and New Zealand for that matter. OK Canada and New Zealand are popular destinations for draft dodgers...
I have had Macs since 1987. I didn't buy them to play games. I have been using Linux since 1997 too for work.
I did have a Windows 95 machine for games, it broke so we bought a PS2?
Do you see a pattern here?
My Mac mostly serves as a development server running Tomcat and PostgreSQL - it makes too much noise to be on all the time. I do some Adobe Illustrator work on it from time to time, and learn about OS X not much else.
I just got back from a client where I installed a server 4 years ago. A couple of apps were upgraded last year. The machine is a webapp server, file share (Macs) etc. and firewalled off behind a router. I haven't bothered much with security upgrades.
We just did an audit and as the hardware is getting on in age decided not to upgrade anything this year. The server is running Redhat 7.2 and a 2.2 kernel I believe.
Before that the server was a Windows NT box and I had to go and reboot it once every two weeks just to keep it from crashing. It couldn't serve files to Macs without crashing every two days.
The new server will run Fedora Core and upgrade itself with yum - NOW GET THIS which looks after dependencies all by its self!!! So maybe you could go off and do your job? At least be sufficiently documented on what a modern Linux distro can and can't do.
When you buy hardware it is yours and you actually get something for your money. When you buy WIndows you buy a piece of paper that says you may use it but that it is not really yours...
The man behind this really honest deal (bend over it won't hurt, I promise) wants the people that actually sell you stuff to go broke!
Who is this Balmer? Do you really have to be a dumb fsck like him to become obscenely rich?
What was this story suposed to prove? Oh! You mean browsers running on Windows crash. But they are supposed to crash on Windows. Windows has only one browser.
When you run his tests with Mozilla on Linux it has no problems with the code.
We actually can't get all four of us in the car but:
- we live within walking distance of the city centre and friends homes (remember walking? Keeps you fit and healthy)
- SO works 10 minutes on foot from home, I work from home and use Smart to visit clients in other cities
- when we go on holiday or weekend we rent a larger car. If we go to Spain we rent a Ford Focus Or a Toyota Corolla turbo diesel. If we go to family on weekend we rent a Vokswagen Polo or a Citroën C3
Before we had a huge car (Citroën XM) that was most of the time parked in front of the house. It cost more than Smart plus rental. It was less flexible (same size does not fit all needs).
By the way we have a "green" car badge which means we can use the car during pollution alerts.

This isn't funny it is insightfull
"Some of them are, in fact, well run democracies."
Where opposition leaders rot in prison?
Where young girls are sold as sex slaves?
Where you can't dress as you please?
Come on the largest "democracy" in the world has issues with vote counting and prisoners held without basic human rights.
Sir your server rocks!!!

Real OSs are for work not for games. For games we have Windows and/or dedicated consoles.
It is not my fault if you can't read between the lines... Sorry to have offended you. Please accept my humble excuses.

What are the profit margins on hardware?
What are the profit margins on Windows?
When you buy hardware it is yours and you actually get something for your money. When you buy WIndows you buy a piece of paper that says you may use it but that it is not really yours...

OK sorry I asked, it helps...
Mozilla shines on broken code too!

Strange story guys
What country has coins this big?
I used mosaic on VMS but netscape 0.96b ran on Mac OS 7
Our familly car is a Smart.

He really doesn't like Steve Jobs does he...
Maybe he should talk to his psychiatrist about this?
I have dropped them too. The Windows 98 game box with ATI junk in it was so bad I changed cards. Matrox is better than ATI!
Redhat, Suse and Mandrake don't sell mice, keyboards, X-boxen...
MS is more of a hardware company than any Linux company.
The hardware companies cited have OS _and_ software divisions in two cases... Where does that put Apple?
VDR has a streaming client/server
I would believe a 3 metre high wall of mud. A 3 kilometre wall would take out London and most of Paris...
3 metres being 3000 mm!
The real question is - would we want to know where Ohio is? What fun things happen in Ohio? Clark Kent doesn't come from there, he is from Kansas.
We know about Florida because that is where you cheat when you want to be president.
We know about NYC because that is where King Kong lives.
We know about California because that is where all the porn is made.
Now that is a lie because in the highlands you don't need a fridge! Beer is at the right temperature when you leave it outside!
If it weren't for the weather (and the language...) I would move there now =:-D
