I am reading "replacing brutal French, British, Spanish and Portugese imperialism by our own softer, warmer, nicer imperialism"...
Cuba, North Korea and so on can hardly be called "cleaning up" either.
Don't confuse foreign policy with commercial imperialism. Underpaying raw goods and selling over priced manufactured products has certainly helped Africa a whole heap... I bet a whole bunch of Argentinians would love to talk to you about that too...
Who has used corruption in place of foreign policy since the cold war?
The UN is a reflection of half a century of US "foreign policy". If you don't like looking in the mirror tough.
Although it is badly faulted it is the only hope that lots of the worlds population have - notably people dying of AIDS in Africa. You may have other choices, they don't I'm afraid.
I bought one of those in 1988 I think they came out in 1987 so it could be up to 17 years old.
I use one of those with an Apple -> VGA adaptor plugged in to a Linux server for maintenance from time to time. We sold(!) the 16" Apple Trinitron monitor last year after 10 years of loyal service and it went pop almost immediately. Must have missed home...
Microsoft TCO figures were written by father christmas himself. And the tooth fairy will be here any day now with a check for all those hours I could not "Bill" because it wouldn't work as advertised...
We have a Macintosh Centris 660AV. It died recently but the kids used it for watching movies (using a VHS recorder) or watching sat TV via a radio transmiter/reciever box. They also plugged all sorts of different consoles into the VHS recorders second input plug. Remember this is "crummy" 10 year old Apple technology...
We also have another solution: both my hush and the satellite receiver are plugged in to a Samsung 150 MB TFT. This model also exists with a TV tuner but with two video inputs plus SVGA it is quite versatile. Many happy hours of PS2 playing have been had on this screen. I am looking at a 17" 16/9 Samsung TFT TV with XGA in to replace it in the living room (I am a bit cramped in 1024x768 pixels).
* A PC, as you've learned, will usually consume in excess of 100W of power with the monitor on. Using aggressive settings on your power management software, a VIA EPIA motherboard, and a small LCD monitor you could probably get it around 50 watts. Such a machine is likely to feel slow.
Oh yeah sure! This is being written on a hush that will draw about 30 W (HD + DVD + LAN) and a samsung 15" LCD that draws about the same = 60-70 W at 100% CPU...
Why would my Fedora Core 1Ghz hush feel slower than your PowerBook (yes I've owned one of those)?
I myself used StarOffice 5.2 happily for years on a Pentium 166 machine. I imagine that lots of these hospital computers will be running just word processing and spreadsheets. And of course connecting to databases. This will work as long as the hardware isn't fried in most of cases.
You will be able to open OpenOffice 3 documents with OpenOffice 1.1 I am guessing. That is not an option with Word or Excel from my previous experience.
I work from home and look after the kids. Take them to school, make lunch go get them bring them back.
That leaves me with 28 hour working week and getting out of the house 3 times a day meeting other parents etc.
I have another two years of that routine then they will be old enough to fend for themselves. I plan on building a houseboat / office so I'll be out of the house down on the river in a really nice area about 10 minutes walk from home. On the weekend we will be able to cast off and cruise on the river.
I have $16.50 on my paypal account. I'll give it to the person who can give me the means to bill MS for the bandwidth their sub-standard OS security costs me each day...
What nerve pointing the blame away from the really guilty party who has cost businesses billions with shoddy sub-standard software they want people to pay for!

Be careful, they will say you have a Moral Superiority complex.
Yesterday in very moderate tones I insinuated that the US has lost the plot. I was moderated as a troll and as flamebait.
Thankyou Microsoft for new proof. You guys have officially lost the plot. You can't deny the bare facts I'm afraid.

Was it ever allowed to be usefull?
Who put the ruffians and despots in place?

You seem to be a bit out of touch with what the UN is and the people that work for it (yes I have worked with them). You must be from the US.
Do you know how much these people earn?
Being flown around by MS is a big perk for these people. And I bet the MS PR folk really know how to perk up a lowley UN grunts ego to boot...
It does.
It runs on Mac OS X too!
Eclipse won't start on my machine because two .pngs are missing from my themed Gnome...
Netbeans runs just fine
SunOne community edition runs just fine
Netbeans runs just fine on Mac OS X machine too
What does that say about Eclipse? (yeah, I know, don't theme your desktop...)

I backed these DVDs up while on a cruise in the Norwegian fjords!
And it is unbilled time!!!!

Lies, damned lies and Microsoft marketing...
Tried buying a drink in a bar in Boston? They won't serve you if you aren't an Irish Indian...

Maybe they had problems converting from metric to inches?

It doesn't.
I keep my girlfriend awake at night too but not with my mouse...
She isn't complaining! And after 14 years together that makes me proud!
The TLb is the camera I bought at design school.
I banged on a Tamron 85-400 Zoom that weighed about half a ton that someone bought me back from Fiji duty free.
I did miss a 24mm wide angle though.

Sure I'll leave my camera outside in the car where it is easy to steal...
They going to install bagage lockers in theaters now?
The last time I saw a normal New Zealander was... Now when the hell was that!?!

Life sucks =:-D
This guys company gave me Linux for free. The licence doesn't say that they now have the right to bill me for it...
Looks like sales of Vaseline will be booming in the UK. And carefull not to hurt your backs bending over to touch your toes like that all day...
Good luck
They aren't.
They are recommending Ximian Desktop 2. That isn't the same thing as Gnome. Believe me.
