By 1943, the USSR had built up the industrial infrastructure necessary to open up a can-o-whopass on the Nazis. No small achievement.
Please, don't use this as an example. While the Soviets were one of the only countries to repel the Nazis look at the cost to do so. 27,000,000(yes scary when the number is typed out) million soviet people lost their life in WWII. Think about that number for a moment and it will bring chills up your spine.
Maybe if you weren't clueless you could assemble an intelligent thought. What region are you from Troll?

I work with many Indians at work and I can understand them fine. Indian schools teach English very early on. However, I have dealt with some profs that are Indian and are from more rural regions of India and their english is *very* bad.
Actually WINE is useless. Name one thing that it is good for? Certainly a real waste of effort. By the time they get Win95 Win32 compat. everyone will have moved on to the newer versions of Win32. E.g. the WINE developers are going after a moving target that they can never catch up to.
WTF? Galeon compiles just fine if you have the right versions of libs and your system isn't all fucked up. I also installed the RPM, just to make sure your system is all fucked up, and it worked fine. NO need to --force anything.
Umm, yeah, but have you ever had the luxury of... wait heavens no...customizing the root window menus? What a piece of shit, then to make matters worse they hack-up some shitty Menu customizer that sucks. OLVM kicks the snot out of the CDE pager. And CDE is more bloated then Openwindows.
I am sure that however bad Oracle's CRM software is it can't hold a candle to how shitty E.phiphany is. The IP code is pure shit and falls over all of the time.
Basically, the US Government is full of corrupt, arrogant hypocrites who have no qualms about lying, stealing and killing on a massive scale if it suits their (primarily financial and economic) interests. Just like all the other governments of all the other countries around the world.
To a point yes, but I would say it was a minority, not a majority.
However, mistaking the 'War on Terrorism' as anything but an attempt to ensure US control of the oil pipeline that will run between the Chechen oil fields and the Persian Gulf would probably be a mistake.
Finally someone who has read up on there history! This is truly rare for slashdot! While I don't agree with your thought, I do appreciate that at least it is intelligent and plausable. I cannot figure why Al Queda attacks the US... Unless the CIA stoped funding his groups(Yes, groups).
Would have made a good troll if your comment made sense. They need to allow more database connects jack.

The U.S. is killing people without firing a shot.
2.) Umm, no. Terrorists and the Talliban residing in Afghanistan are responsible for killing innocent Afghans. That is your source of craziness. I love your quote, it is such bullshit. Think about what your saying. Your logic is mind numbing. If a family member of x kills a family member of y and all of family x flees in fear your logic would be to blame family y!

Childish comment without the benefit of thought.
You're right, Americans do. I'm not sure if that would be extreme ego or strong case of dementia. "Greatest country"? Certainly not with millions of arrogant lunatics -- monsters like yourself -- infesting it.
Umm, right. Why is it extreme ego for me to have an opinion, based on facts that I have read, about my own country? Dimentia??? I guess John Hopkins needs to call you! You can make a remote diagnosis without even seeing an individual! I guess where your from if someone has a strong opinion about something they must have a mental condition. I am not a monster, I am one of the most caring, sympathetic people you would ever meet, but I am sick and tired of people saying negative things about the United States.
If you care to have a real debate about America and wouldn't be intimidated intellectually, I would welcome it.
Good day.

Fuck you. If you are ashamed of being an American then get the fuck out *right now*. Remember we are the most powerful country on earth and we make many mistakes, but do you think for a second that any other country in our situation would do any better? Read about world history, there is not another time in *human* history that one country has wielded so much power and not tried to take over the world! This is the greatest country in the world make no mistake about that. Do we have serious issues? Yes. Every country on the planet does.
This *really* depends on what your doing. I mean if you run Seti (or things with massive FP) then a US450 is about the equivalent of a 900Mhz Pentium III. (I have did many tests to prove this). BUT if you talking integer performance (with the exception of RDBMS) then the Pentium III is faster. I just got a Sunfire 280 in (2x750USIII) and I can't wait to play around with it.

Yeah, that is great, but how are American students suppose to learn CS when the damn profs don't speak a lick of discernable English!

If you have a dlt7000 (heheheh) you can buy 40-80GB DLT IV tapes for 50 a pop. Not too bad
