Seems those damned Eurocrats managed to do what the USA could not. And thats bring and win a case against the mighting Redmond. Something that the US tried to do itself and almost succeeded in doing and then, oh ah yes new president and the case fell flat. Its about time MS were dropped a few pegs and its more than time that people had real choice instead of been landed with MS software by default.
My guess is if MS was a European company you would be dancing a jig in the street.
"Second, you have no idea where open-source products are going, whereas vendors like Microsoft provide a roadmap for the future."
I thought heyup been paid off have we.
let them waste money they cannot be that productive for open office works just like MS office. In fact i cannot find anything between the two that i cannot do in one or the other and ive had no training at all.
Says a lot for this group and its technically know how.
I agree. Last week I had about 30 distinct hits reporting "Windows NT 6.0" out of an average of around 7000 hits. NOt many realy compared to searching for "Windows NT 5.1" which yeilds more than i care to count.
This sounds almost as horrific as windows for warships. The powers that be are always swayed by bullshit and Bill as we know is a master in this game. He is no doubt trying to get rid of vista as nobody wants to buy it. So you unsuspecting tax paying Americans will finance Bill and Co like it or not.
I do not for one moment think that M$ will cough this up for the good of its health. There has to be a financial insentive in there someplace.
You can blame us Brits for your Quebec problems. Been so liberal we allowed them to stay and practice their religion and beleifs instead of deporting the lot of them or commiting genocide against them.
If I could go back in time I would tell the likes of Wolf and Abercomby to enfore a different plan. BUt then if I could do that there would be no USA either.
Exactly OpenXML is proprietry thus not suitavble for an open standard. MS will not manage to push through this one. The world and at last the Americans are onto this rip of merchant and are fighting back.
The EU managed to make charges stick to prevent them monopolising. Drip by drip Europe his heading for open standards and now we see states in the US going the same way too.
If MS do not get on the boat they will be left behind.
Open format is the way forward thus corporate America and corporate Europe are dictating to MS the terms of the game these days whereas yesteryear it was MS marketing bollox that dictated terms.
Funny how electricity was discovered by Ben Franklin while he was British and proud of his Englishness and his English heratige (rumour has it he was a spy too). Thus its quite easy to see that without good old England none of that and none of you would have come into being.
Evolution is a fact over hear though. I guess we managed to remove the yoke of religion long before you guys managed to build a civilisation (ooops sorry extend our civilisation) into what it is now.
You wont ever see rugby taking on the full body armour of American football. You may see them put on some shoulder padding and taping their ears down, you may even see the odd leather padded helmet BUT and I stress BUT the pathetic covering of the entire body from helmet to thigh padding has totaly made that version of Rugby you play a complete boring farce. (if thats evolution its a bad thing).
As America is the only country to play American football while the rest of us enjoy Rugby in a few flavours you must agree that the world cannot be wrong and only American right. If it was such a good game the world would flock to play it YET they play Rugby instead. Answers it all for me and throws you speculations of sporting evolution right out of the window. (especialy when it took a presidential decree to introduce the forward pass which completey changed the game to what you now play).
And the gay pride celebration you think of a scrum just shows how silly and jelous you realy are of the original form of the game you now call football.
Rugby is more fluid more continuos and better to watch. (unless you have bladder problems, and need all the time outs for a piss stop).
Its a scam, this gov will not listen to the people. It has not done for the last ten years and it will not untill we get rid of them. The website is probably for statistical gathering so they can get a feel on whats not good for them (which at present is everything).
If your gov gets one of these in it means you have passed democracy by and have reverted to an older form of government called despotism.
1st off this was a war police force not a civil. 2nd the men they had killed by other loyalists were no doubt key IRA men whom could not be touched by the law. (Speculation of course, but no doubt right).
So how do you remeove a murderer using the law without prosecuting? You play em at their own game.
Any old tom can put a few lines together and claim to be a programmer (you find them using Visual Studio a lot). These types dont even learn about the underlying concepts of programming for they dont have to as its all been abstracted away from them. Whereas C programmers or in this case php programmers do becuse you are encouraged to use your grey matter to see the problems that could arise and fix them prior to them becoming broken.
In the long run I think its best that you should be the sole responsible for your code. If you fail to check it for security or errors its your fault and not that of the language.
They declared independance and the British withdrew to Canada and the Carribean after dozens of engagements of which teh Americans lost the majority. American tactics had nothing to do with it. It was down to Admiral Rodney and the RN at the battle of the Chesapeake in Sept 1781 which led directly to Yorktown and the fall of Parliment (I must add its was a French effort in design adn execution).
The moral of the story though.
Don't trust Americans, neither then nor now. GB handed over all its documents about radar and enigma etc in WWII while the yanks simply took it and charged us money for taking it. If this is a special relationship then source code please otherwise the US is the old US who's policy is fuk you jack I am alright.
Also The British army has had much much more success at policing hotile nations than the smash em attitude of US forces who'es priority seems to be how many kills they achieve.
When the US army can do what the British army has done then I will listen to advice from americans about hearts and minds but untill they grab the concept of hearts and minds there will always be bloodshed on a grand scale.
I.E Bahgdad.
America may have avast army but like GB in the days of old its worthless unless your fighting a standing army of your own magnitude. When one man with a bomb can destroy men and machines worth billions for perhaps £10 a time then you know your in the shit.
Untie the hook part and strighten it up. Make a finger loop at the top and curve it slightly at the bottom. Hold in font of you when walking, you will notice when it contacts something trust me.
The use of silly string is hardly enviromentally friendly and I see that US forces did not learn of the even cheaper trick from the Brits. Perhaps you dont have metal coat hangers in the US who knows.
I still think tin upon tin of silly string will amount to lots of $$$ though.

Touchy touchy.

He will moan about the internet and music but he will praise the Internet when he's hunting for young lads to bugger.
Elton is past his prime and thinks he can actually have a say in the world. he better of sticking to the BBC gay parades that nobody watches.
So Elton if your listening take you candle from the wind and shove it where it fits (and it it needs to be sideways then so be it)
That was my assumption of this matter.
As soon as he mentioned :

Damned MS Nazi. Your not the master provider get that into your think head!
In turn whom should NASA be patting on the back? Perhaps the German Scientists she carried away and the end of WWII!
NASA was built upon German knowhow! Dont be getting all nationalistic now for if not for them you lot would have still been flying kites.
No I thought that too. I also thought uh, php mysql nice NIX tools yes but a delphi IDE that only runs on Windows.
Bah will never work. If your into webdev on windows your a VS c# organ grinder nothing more.

Do not fear MS will break its back trying to break Europe.
MS are loosing their struggle.
The EU managed to make charges stick to prevent them monopolising. Drip by drip Europe his heading for open standards and now we see states in the US going the same way too.
If MS do not get on the boat they will be left behind.

The age of MS has passed. Long live open source.

2006 was certainly a good year for Oz sports.
2005 was a disaster though, so I'll take your thread and laugh it off.
Ozzy sportsmen are good but not undefeatable. Sadly ours are just plain crap and I am shocked it took you guys so long to thrash us.
I wonder where China stole the idea from in the first palce.
If anything I am happy that China are in the race. The U.S does not own space and should not be able or even allowed to gain hegemony in space.
I have no doubt that the Chinese would use it either.
You missed the point entirely didn't you!

More like the NSA has added its own (N) lines of code so it can monopolise the 90% in Desktop OS's and spy on the lot of you for free.

Correction,
