While XP and Win2k3 are miles better than any offering before it does:
- Not play nice with BIND, must. install. ms. dns. now. - XP runs about 15% slower than 2k, unless you turn off all fancy gui, then it will be 5% slower. - 2003 AD policies are just a little more reliable then the infamous NT4 policies. - Most stuff Administrators want is hidden, hard to find, or not there at all. - Outlook 2003 has a completely different gui than previous versions. Its killer new feature? It can share agenda's. It also hangs regularly for no other reason than it is talking to Exchange. - Copying user settings is only possile for that stuff residing in files in your profile if you switch domains, not for the reg settings, or you have to figure out what to export/import from the registry for a user yourself.
Should I go on why MS is a totally lacking product from a sysadmin point of view?
But yeah, it IS better then NT4.. sjees... To give it something, 2003 server is the first Windows OS with at least SOME filesystem security in place out-of-the-box. Like, FINALLY.
1) We're in a warming cycle/trend and this problem is not our fault. (translates too: our influence to bend the trend could very well be extremely little AND expensive) 2) The earth will survive the warming. (==This will only hurt poor countries) 3) The problem is not as bad as people say. (==It might very well be in a long time from now, then we will be able to fix it cheaper then we can do now)
In a world where "longterm" means next years bottom line, problems for your CHILDREN will not be seen by any megacorp international.
Or, Bush truely believes the "free market" will present us a solution when we need it. Maybe its that. And maybe he is right. Then again maybe not.

Because it is not needed. People should fix what is wrong with X. (check out http://freedesktop.org/wiki/ )
Are you a programmer? In case you are, what is fundementally wrong with X-windows?
Why do you need a "from the ground up" re-write?
I think that is a kneejerk reaction lotsa people have, when confronted with something better:"Oh, there is something better then our product x, so we need a -complete rewrite-"
And lastly, I object to designing it "around Linux". If anything, it should be GPL, and promoting and supporting different hardware en unices. Like BSD.
"By the time you are in your 70's so much stuff pisses you off that you can barely deal with it."
Thats because they cant DO anything about it anymore.. But if they were to become 1000 years old... that might change. Perhaps they will be the youth of today.
- The appointment of ministers locally, is ALSO not direct democratic enough, to my taste.
- The bigger distance between EU and its populous versus the local gov. and the local populous is also what enables local ministers, to "suggest" people as candidates (the chairman does the appointing) who are relatively unknown, and fit THEIR agenda, not ours.
No matter how un-effing-believable un-democratic EU ministers can be, and you MUST research the EU patent story for some disgusting examples, the people -directly elected- in the EU parliament have listened and -do- hold some power. Yay.
Now if only we (as in we, the people) could get more direct say in EU minister appointments, or resignments.. we would not have to go through all this absurdian EU counsil of minister elbow politics.
We should look at the US.. some things clearly work better there, and some things do not. Much local power for example.. good idea. Big Money and politics.. bad idea.
Hey, they cant PROOF I farted the last bit of Co2, so shurely our economy cannot be hampered by silly theories of Global Warming! Fuck the poor delta coutries.
Perhaps you should come off of your cultural imperialistic communication nazi horse. And take people who not speak English as a first language as fluent as an Oxford Professor serious. That, or learn bloody Dutch.
these people DO exist. No question about it. Ussually their little old ladies, called Jane Public. But -WHY- does any Nuclear discussion have to have an +5 insightfull for a guy essentially claiming all "treehuggers" are emotional wrecks with no understanding and a fascist witchhunter tendancy?
It is just blatently untrue. People like Greepeace have -always- said that "under current technology" -waist- is the nuclear problem, well that and worries about the effects opf a Jumbo flying in a powerplant, or uranium transport.
Most of the time, people I have spoken to from activists groups, have a far BETTER understanding about the issues than Joe Public.
To compare people caring about the enviroment, to witchhunters make YOU look foolish.
Your stance seems to basically be: "It'll never happen, cuz treehuggers are 'tupid, so they are lame lame lame"
Boo, hiss. Parent is suggesting Bush merely banned the harvesting (suggesting a Plan to seed then harvest) of "Babies" (No babies here.. just fetusses, Big Difference: we call it a baby when the brainwaves start, fetusses do NOT have brainwaves) where in fact Bush: - Did put a hold on all stemcell research on -new- fetusses, even those obtained from IV conception (If you get an IV conception, I believe its likely you fertelize multiple eggs, some of these "Extra" ferted eggs can be removed)
So in the real world, it means: we have all these extra ferted cells we now have to toss away instead of learn from them. It's not like less of them will be -created-. They just wont be used.

Surely,
MS just reported a LOSS of kazilion billion due to lost sales due to "pirated copies" of Windows. They even had to stop updating illegal versions!
Surely they are close to bankrupt now.

Sure they do.

Since when does *ANY* fine go elsewhere than the gov. inning it?
I love tsunami's like the next guy, but if this money goes to tsunami victims, I'll be moving to Thailand.

Why dont you stick a label to "Global-warming":
"Global warmimg is a theory, not a fact."
Instead of having people believe its all a fear monger game.
"than there already is in the local country"
Two things:
- The appointment of ministers locally, is ALSO not direct democratic enough, to my taste.
- The bigger distance between EU and its populous versus the local gov. and the local populous is also what enables local ministers, to "suggest" people as candidates (the chairman does the appointing) who are relatively unknown, and fit THEIR agenda, not ours.
"more direct say"
I need not say more I think. But thanks for reacting.

Green Mile incorporated announced plans for new features designed to protect users of Good Ole Sparky, from inadvertently staying alive.
Once, Bill Gates was a reasonable democratic guy.
He and his silly company are turning more and more into their "One OS" fascism corp cult.
A shame really.

Thanks for giving me the prope IV fert. tip. However,
"This is an ethically troublesome technique"
Only for the people who have ethical problems on their own. You may say "is the subject of ethical discussion"
I for one, think "ethics" only have a place when you can speak of true life meaning, when there is actual brain activity.
I mean, sincere question, you seem one of these people with ehhm, overly strong ethics, when does abortion become "unethical"?
If God intended creatures to fly, He would have given them flappy thingies to.. oh.. nevermind
"Abort babies to harvest cells"
