You obviously have never been in ecological disater zones like Mexico City, some part in the former Easter Block or the disappearing rain forest in Brazil.
Otherwise you would silently drop such stupid assertions.
.... in this instance. It is satisfying to see US citizens recognizing it and saying it like it is.
The brothers and sisters bullshit is propaganda. Even the dearest to our hearts can commit horrible attocities and they should not be patted in the back for it but severely reprimended and punished if necessary (just remember tha the army's brains is not the same as the people in the ground, but the institution as such sucks terribly, blame the heads mostly for that).
1.- Who the heck do the US believe they are to chose and pick puppet goverments? The only response I will accept is the biggest Empire in current existence. Any other rubish about freedom and terrorism is just siddesteping the main issue: that the US (both goverment and populace0 believe that they have the god given right to do as they please anywhere anytime. Crussaders indeed.
2.-Great that you discovered that the UN without backup of its member states (specially the richest one) has no teeth. Thanks for stating the glaringly obvious. When we remember that even Big Teeth Nation could not control Vietnam and will never control Iraq (just look at Afghanistan for goodness sake, or did you forget about that country like your Prez, you know, that country where Osama bin Laden, the guy that actually hit the Twin Towers, is hiding).
3.- At least now that you realize the mess you are willing to clean, unfortunately the spots are uncleanable....
If he did not read the GPL or he did and did not understand, we should be grateful he is abandoning the FLOSS movement altogether.
We need people that can undesratnd the implications of supporting freedom for you computer code and infrastructure. If this guy was not intellectually prepared to understand the consequences (which are pretty obvious btw) I see very little to applaud in such childish behaviour.
I hate the US intervention in Iraq but I would never dream to compromise my ideals of freedom. What applies to everybody also should apply to institutions commiting grave mistakes like the US goverment and Army, even during their worst moments like the ccurrent conflict.
"We don't care about Iraqi people, we can use any excuse we want, including terrorism, so we can keep driving our SUVs and polluting more than any other nation"
Thanks for clarifying, but frankly we did not need you lame clarification.
"Your companies" in Mexico, as you call them, were paid every single penny worth their assets during Mexican oil nationalization.
This was necessary because (surprise, surprise) they refussed to obey several rulings of Mexican courts regading workers rights (foreign oil companies in Mexico were flaunting Mexican law as far back as 1907, so the different Mexican goverments of the period only took around 30 years until finally found no other solution). They even treathened the Mexican goverment, with get this, military invassion in case of nationalization.
Honestly chaps, how much does it help you to know about the latest rubish on TV, who won the superbowl or who is the latest TV evangelist if what you need is to implement an algorithm in C++?
You can explain perfectly technical terms, even with vlodi espelling errorz, tat altoug tirezome, dont ofuscate compleetly the meaning of the messaje, to somebody in a completely different social context.
You guys should stop fooling yourselves, you may not understand the accent of your Indian, Sinagaporean, or Hongkonese counterparts, but their communication skills in written English are as good as those of native speakers who have a false sense of security believing that being native speaker gives you an innate advantage to communicate properly.
Heck, even people like me with a recorded history on this site of murdering in a daily basis Shakespeare's mother tongue can compete with you guys, you would be monumentally stupid to believe that stellar English skills will be a fundamental factor in keeping you employed....

If you are migrating from an existing infrastructure then you had policies in places before for desktop users, hadn't you?
Common practices for desktops change very little from platform to platform and have more to do with your environment.
Use the previous policies you surely had, addapt them to Linux, and add the bits that pertain only to Linux.
They are preaching to the choir or alienating people that could not care less about the religious overtones of their endeavours.
Why they don't make it easily replaceable?
Why?
.... is not what you use to make your clothes smooth and presentable....
Private companies can't submit your to any of the conducts explained.
Breathe the air and then, while you desperately try to grasp for some oxygen for your lungs, tell me that environment is not important.
Eeurope is not socialist, no matter how you want to spin it.
European states are all capitalist but goverments listen more carfully to the needs of the people and act in consequence.
In other countries people are left to their own devices.
Choose your favourite but don't lie (even rethorically) when making your point.
I would say only two words Enron, Shell.
Now, wise guy, get out of that hole if you possibly can.
What an idiot.

Rephrasing for the masses:
"We don't care about Iraqi people, we can use any excuse we want, including terrorism, so we can keep driving our SUVs and polluting more than any other nation"

We have been trying to hire a new person for months (UK here chapies).
Of all the several hopefuls only one more less is up to standards (and then people ask why jobs are being outsourced elsewhere).
When I got my job (yeah, pesky foreigner) iw went unfilled for 6 months.
Now tell me it is an employers' market. I just don't believe that is the case for people with something to offer to the industry.
I find Taxan accent completely impossible to undertstand.
Listen to Bush.
I rest my case.
Straw man argument of scared IT sorry puppies....
Mexicos GDP has grown since NAFTA was introduced.
Farmers were affected and should have been protected, but as a whole Mexicans are wealthier than they were before NAFTA.
And USians also, but that is the truth that is not spoken in this website when free trade is discussed.
"Your companies" in Mexico, as you call them, were paid every single penny worth their assets during Mexican oil nationalization.
This was necessary because (surprise, surprise) they refussed to obey several rulings of Mexican courts regading workers rights (foreign oil companies in Mexico were flaunting Mexican law as far back as 1907, so the different Mexican goverments of the period only took around 30 years until finally found no other solution).

Nothing new under the sun I guess.
It is not like unemployed US programmers are dying of starvation on the streets.
How ridiculous can some people get?
Brazilians don't go to US universities because the ones back home are good enough.
In case you did not know Brazil had always healthy high tech industries (IT, weapons, cars, mining, etc.)...

Then change the consultancy you are using.
In our case is pretty much everything done every morning....
In case you are a poor developer that contributes to Linux and a company with relatively big pockets plays an SCO on you.
... somebody with your reading comprehension capabilities most likely is not writing any software for which anybody else will make a lot of fuss.
