Users who call up a company they have no relation to in order to tell them their tech decisions are bad are complete morons. Linux is an OS, not a religion.
Also, people who call up other people in order to tell them their religious decisions are bad are also complete morons.
you want to get a feel for this, try reading XinHua in parallel with your other news sources. At first you will note differences here and there but over time you will come to see two different, parallel world histories going on; the XinHua one and the 'real' one.
If i remember correctly, the Communists took China in the 1940's/1950's pushing the capitalist Kuomintang down into Taiwan (which at that point was part of China).
So the Kuomintang had their armies on Taiwan and so the Chinese Communists was unable to take it, in any case they had the main bit of the country to fix up so they let it go.
I think the interesting time has only just begun.
Its interesting because: 1. China is becoming more capitalist - the Kuomintang were more capitalist than Communist. If China becomes further democratized(?) and more capitalist (ha!) what would stop the re-unification from a political-belief POV.
2. As China becomes richer the Taiwanese might see more advantage to being a part of it.
3. As the old Communist and Kuomintang leaders die from old age, there will probably be less personality issues when dealing with a re-unification.
4. Might it be like the re-unification of Germany one day?
How about your own government. They LIED about WMD they went to WAR with another country based on these lies.
In both cases a government is lying: 1. In China its about the atrocities it has commited against its own people 2. In the USA its so they can invade another country
Reason why they hate the Japanese? Rape of Nanking.
You say that China's education is crap, let me ask you: 1. Have you seen the Japanese schools' version of the Rape of Nanking???? 2. Have you read what actually happened????
I suggest you google it before you make such statements.
As a hint to how the Japanese view this chapter of their history: "The Nanjing Massacre is a lie made up by the Chinese." - Ishihara Shintaro, former Japanese Cabinet Minister, interviewed October 1990.
-- what about the USA's view on nuclear bombing Japan? Done to stop the war???????????????
I attended a Sun Java talk presentation recently. And this article especially concerning the FUD stuff about Linux echoed the talk.
There was one slide called: "Linux.. What if?.."
At which point the presenter went on to say "Red Hat is not Linux, Red Hat is PROPRIETARY, what if Linux goes kaput.. what if you get no support.. what if something goes wrong.. what happens in 10 years?..."
It was strange because he then went onto explain how Sun was embracing OSS and Linux - look we use Suse and Samba is on our product list...
I think Sun thinks it can compete with Microsoft and has a plan for that, but has no real gameplan on how to defeat Linux..
i think MMoore's end bit of his Wacko reply page is strong.
if people/NRA did have a case against the film - i.e. it was incorrect, then they would have shut it down:
" can guarantee to you, without equivocation, that every fact in my movie is true. Three teams of fact-checkers and two groups of lawyers went through it with a fine tooth comb to make sure that every statement of fact is indeed an indisputable fact. Trust me, no film company would ever release a film like this without putting it through the most vigorous vetting process possible. The sheer power and threat of the NRA is reason enough to strike fear in any movie studio or theater chain. The NRA will go after you without mercy if they think there's half a chance of destroying you. That's why we don't have better gun laws in this country - every member of Congress is scared to death of them.
Well, guess what. Total number of lawsuits to date against me or my film by the NRA? NONE. That's right, zero. And don't forget for a second that if they could have shut this film down on a technicality they would have."

i think this is funded by ibm.. at least some of it is (inc. Samba development)

lasers? nuclear fusion? what could possibly go wrong..

Didn't they get shotguns about a month ago? From what I can tell they'll have rocket launchers by the begining of next year.
do they have an axe if they run out of ammo?
I just hope they don't get Quad Damage.
or work out how to rocket jump.
pr0n too far?
nsfw pr0n --> non-photorealistic camera --> SFW pr0n!!!
Hope you're not American..

I was in China two months ago and I would agree with this.
*everyone* has mobile phones, the coverage is much better than here in Australia.
Looks like they're gonna get lucky and skip the whole powerlines/phonelines traversing their country thing.
Best places for a n00b to learn how to play?
My place, Wednesday's.. most people bring $200-$300 with them.
Its an *easy* game...
Not in Australia.
The local tech colleges around here pay quite well.
Between $60-$90/hour - 3 hour courses.
So you can pick up maybe $250/week for 3 hours work.
Not bad.

After seeing this posted i checked my pattern files on the mail server.
Happy to see that ClamAV had the pattern files through a cron job 5+hours ago.
Anyone look at the Hal-3 article? Reminded me of the meat/weight suspenders the Baron had in Dune.
Finally, i can expand out to 150Kg and only have to carry 40 of it myself...

When my company receives 100's of applications for a couple of jobs, we always throw out 20% choosen randomly.
Don't want to hire unlucky people..
Could a P2P defence be organised to block DDoS?
The anti-spam links could be spread across a P2P network ensuring no effective DDoS could be mounted?

I work in SA Government.
And where we work, basically, unofficial policy, if it doesn't come with source, don't use it.
