I guess there will allways be room for professionalization of image and branding in the opensource world.
I mean. Oo.O is the most competitive office suite in the world period, and its branded as the sea gull equivalent of Dr. Strangelove.
On the other hand, i think an FOSS mascot that is not chubby (like Tux), is really a pun on us BOFHs who know that youre either anorexic, a really lame luser, a pretty bad programmer or plain FAT (ask cowboy neal).
Just not by the 'way online banking works' OBVIOUSLY!
1st. Software should be open sourced so it could be audited.
2nd. Along with your Electoral Card, you would be given an anonymous voter number, known only to you. This number is explicitly not linked to your electoral record number.
You use that number as login for voting and auditing your vote.
Ok so according to you couple of prowar guys in this thread, iraq was unstable and the world needed sadaam to be gone.
Well, im no american, but i would have my president's children for breakfast if he went to invade a country that presents no direct threat to me, before catching the guys that just killed 600 connationals in my back yard (new york).
80% of the military effort is concentrateed in iraq (which had no terrorist activities while it was under sadam's regime, after the clinton administration bombing of iraq intel in the 90's).
Fuck, just add-substract and see how many dollars and men are in afganhistan/pakistan/iran (home of UBL).
Now, we can go and argue about iraq being such a dangerous thing, but they had no immediate capability to attack america or american interest (saudi arabia, kuwait, bahrain, united arab emirates) whithout bringin a jihad on themselves (he already had one since he attacked iran, under american orders). You dont attack the country of the holy mosques without having hamas, bin laden and any number of islam extremist come blow your balls off.
The way its left right now, after all your plausible arguments for or agaisnt the war, is a unsafe america, without enough forces in its soil to defend itself against terrorist attacks, without inteligence to deffend its weaker allies (read spain, assholes), but hey, with the posibility of cashing out in 20 years out of iraq with control of more than half of the oil reserves in the world.
So, lets stop calling the iraq invasion a 'war on terror'. We can call it 'an example of how to make more islamic terrorists that hate the US' or 'The origin of terror' or 'how to NOT solve hundreds of dead in New York by killing 20 thousend innocent arabs'.
Yes... this is very insightfull as well... I mean, international copyright LAW and principles would also still apply regardless of the Euros messing up in the decition as Fair Use is the de-facto right of users, ergo, api and headers ok.
It is now. Precisely this moment, when IBM tries to seize power from Linux.
This is scary, ibm owns a massive channel, if they move to their own controled distribution, it may be all too tempting to start to 'differentiate' their linux. And boom, here comes the UNIX WARS II, the War of the Unix Clone: Linux
Hey, news flash for you Billy boy! In Europe, you comply with European law, and it's a lot harder to buy a few politicians to exert political pressure on the justice system.
Okay, now this shows polliticall ignorance beyond the layman.
Look, im an europhiliac, i think the best thing that ever happened to the world is called paris, the second is called madrid, and the third is called london. After that, any modern urban architect is somehow kidding (i mean, look at washington -e uuuu gh-), if he thinks he is going to do better.
BUT, to say that politicians anywere are a lot harder to bribe is an oxymoron. Politicians are NEVER hard to bribe unless someone is paying them more in some way or another.
So, what really is happening here (and i am totally anti microsoft here) is that euroIBM and companies with vested interest in making the euro software industry a healthyer with respect to the US has already paid their politicians. Thats why microsoft is being scolded.
But microsoft has more money!!
Of course they do, silly, but they cannot commit hard votes and local congress lobying (increasingly important factor in the new multi-national europe) like companies that have been there forever.
What i mean is that, only beacuse they are european and have somehow more respect for form and ages old public behaviour codes, it doesnt mean they are any better than any other poilitician. French enterprises are some of the most horribly corrupt entities buying entrance into third world markets (its a de-facto practice for them and their congress allows it). Brits are pirates to this date, spaniards are the inventors of state corruption (they invented the private sale of corsarian notes which allowed the holder to pillage enemy vessels, only this guys sold them at a personal title, outside the state influence).
I mean, if we are corrupt in america (and i mean the whole continent, you insensitive clod), is because we come, to one degree or another, from western europe, who is in turn, the child of the empire that invented beurocratic republic (Rome) in the first place.
So there... yay, good for the euros,because their corrupt local industry will get a chunk out of an otherwise microsoft's market and more money from software will stay in europe, helping their beautyfull, blood financed cities (you dont make paris without killing millions of africans AND parisians, ask napoleon) remain the cradle of our very real blood bathed 'civilization'.
fucking annoying for the rest of us... i mean damn...

I mean. WTF do we need an extra service for if the security manager can do it, also kwallet can remember them all and interact with konqueror....
Even IE can do it i think..... so, i think the single sign on in passport is really a fucking hoax designed to lock linux and OSS out of large datacenters.
I love americans... "We would annihilate them"....
Right... in global thermo nuclear war (like, HELLO, with China), you do not annihilate anything. In this scenario, you are in NORAD or you are dead.
So, perhaps you should say:
My president would annihilate them, or, the powers that be would destroy the world because of this or something that actually resembles reality, instead of the stuff you see in fox news.

At the very least its akin to grafitti in your front door.
Its antisocial behaviour, that is now, in some states in the US and elsewhere, also illegal.
It should be illegal in all democracies as well.
NO...

or North Korea... or Iran... or China...

Or a president of the united states crazy to get reelected....
And posibily legal in the excelent protection that american law gives its citizens...
I mean.... its downright communistic to think this may be anticompetitive isnt it?
