Well if your gonna lock yourself into something and then have to pay for support later I think RedHat isn't too bad a choice. I don't think I've ever heard someone get a decent resolution to and issue from M$ except to reinstall Windows from scratch. Possibly the most important thing here is that a company other than M$ has stood up and said why don't you use this it's quite good and you can do anything you like with it. One of the biggest problems which could face the IT industry is that schools no longer teach computing they teach how to use MS Office.

Looking at the patent it does seem to be more than one step. You send your selection and your details to the server the server send back a confirmation with the order button on it and you confirm it. I'm sure there's more than just a single button click in there.
I've got a free copy of Solaris that sun give away free for non comercial use. Yeah, it's cool to have a Solaris box at home, but after a week I removed it coz there just isn't that much you can do with it.
Linux has a massive number of apps for it and while some will compile on Solaris it's just too much hassle and there's no really benifit to doing it.
Isn't it excepted practice when dealing with very large numbers of things to look at a smaller sample of the whole. I would have thought that 20% is actually very generous sample of the average content of the net. Unless believe that there has been a large increase in the about of evil on the internet since the pages were indexed. I think we can say that these results are totally valid and should seen as a true indication of the ratio of good and evil on the internet and even in the world at large.
I used to work with a couple of 40+ and while you've got to bow to the fact that they've been around for a bit. I did sometimes wonder how they managed to be around for that long. There's no escaping the fact that a guy who's been programming assembler for 35 must know a lot about assembler, but you can help feeling that someone who types with one finger and thinks that edlin is a really good tool is not really gonna aproach GUI development in an inovative way. When you have reviews of window layouts and you get comments like "Can't we make it look more like DOS" you've got to think that these are not people moving with the times. I'm sure that there a re alot of older programmers who really can jam with the best of them, but I think that there are a lot who are in it not because they are good with computers but because they where around when they we're first taking off and knowone else was programming.
But if all guns are illegal it makes it 100 times hard to break any of the above. You may still be able to get guns illegally but with less guns arround there will be less illegal guns around. Guns start of as possesed legally and then move to illegal possesion. Less guns, less guns.
3 years ago I've just finished speaking to a friend in Dunblane scotland where it happened. I'm pretty sure that the people living there would not want more people to have guns and they actually started a compaign to have all guns banned. The man who did the shooting had a legal permit to have the gun, and there where a lot of questions asked as too why he was allowed the gun in the first place. Better gun control could well have averted this tragedy.
Not in this, country...

I can't believe you said that. Kosovo is the break up of countries. There have been problems in that area of the world for a long long time. It's not the Kosovian goverment that's doing it. It the Yogoslavian goverment. The Kosovians do actually have some troops but not enough. There are many more countries where they don't have this infantial infatuation with firearms and they don't go around trying to round up undesirables. Not being an expert on these things I'd say that the crime problems in China are nothing to do with the weapons they have, the results of the crimes probably are.
A gun is just a tool, nothing more.

Just coz it's written down doesn't mean it's right. Our society ain't doing to badly. Faced with an armed incerection they may not be right to fire on people but they'd feel a lot better about it. Lucky the Dividians had all thouse guns or they'd really have be in trouble.
America may get respect for a lot of things. The right to bear arms is not one of those things.

Oh give me a break. I'm sat here in england and where doing just fine with the un-realistic situation of not letting the general public have firearms. Sure people get shot, but at least because having a firearm is harder to do leagaly someone is more likely to get arrested for having the gun than using it. People will find other ways of killing people, but I'd far rather someone came at me with a kinfe than a gun. We do have bombers but there's always going to be people who are screwed up and make life as difficult as possible for them is the least we can do. If your worried about the goverment having guns. Why give them an excuse to fire on you. If you don't have guns they'll a lot less inclinded to shot at you.
