    Has the company a question mark?

    BS!!

    I'm using Safari on multiple russian sites, and everything is A-OK.... so maybe you should fix whatever should be fixed on your win box, but I don't think Safari is your problem!!

  4. Re:USA = USSR: blah blah on IT and A National Security Letter Gag Order · · Score: 1

    Remember John Travolta, in Pulp Fiction explaining that in people in Holland (where I live) 'drowned french-fries in mayonaise' and that 'a cop' had no right to search you in Holland ??

    Well, that in the past now. Now they can pretty much do whatever they feel like. It's not that the law says; hey policeman, do as you please, but since the US of A wanted allies... we complied, and ANYONE can now be arrested in holland, for whatever reason they can think of. And it called 'come for a visit and answer some questions' by the lawyers of the state.

    In moscow I know I can be asked for my passport any minute by any policeman, and they can fine me there and then... still, I'd rather pay 50 euros and eat dinner at home, than spend some days at the police station in Amsterdam to 'answer some questions' in the name of national security.

    I'm not saying you're wrong, and it sucks to be halted my some form of authority, but after Spain...

    BTW: Moscow is not russia, it is IN russia, but russia is more than Moscow, so scenes from moscow dont represent russia as a whole

    Depends on your point of view.. and I by no means mean that Putin is an A-OK guy I would invite for dinner..

    But true, Gorby was a far more cultivated and moral man.

    And as for Russia... things could have been worse, but it's not only Putin, it's a whole lot of factors that determine the future. And Putin is more anti-war than our-favorite-drunk Jeltsin was...

    My point is; there are (a lot) of similarities between what USA is today, and how things were in the USSR. And I don't want to compare Bush-Putin. All I say, that in lots of respects, you got the lifestyle of a Jew in Nazi Germany and/or a citizen in Stalins USSR.

  6. USA = USSR on IT and A National Security Letter Gag Order · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When I was a kid (10 odd years), I remember the Soviet Union; massive check-points at borders, customs officers that gave you a cavity check at will, and a police state that didn't care much for the privacy or rights of it's citizens... Remember KGB (FSB now) and GRU ?? Anyone ??

    That nightmare is now over, and I can freely go to and from Moscow, to visit my grandmother and friends. Or, I can have them board a plane and come to Amsterdam... with almost no delays at the border(s)...

    But hey, those KGB and GRU bastards were hired by... the white house, and their methods are now common practice in the USA and it's 'allies'..

    You yanks didn't win the cold war, you lost... but you kinda don't get it... but I'm sure your children will, and they will look at you for answers.

  10. Why is everybody shocked ? on Dvorak Says Apple Move to Intel Will Harm Linux · · Score: 1

    First of all, why is 90% of /. surprised?? WTF?? Darwin http://developer.apple.com/ is available for some time, I've been running it on various X86 machines, including a dual-pentium3 Intel 440GX motherboard, and it makes a very dandy web/mysql/QTSS/mail server (FREE). I can name lots of software that just runs!

    So why not for Apple to take X86 version into mainstream, and still offer Darwin (without the Aqua, CoreEverything, Quartz) for FREE!! (as in beer) ?? And should you be so lucky that your hardware is supported by the IOKit, why not run it? Or is it just the Linux world becomes more and more what they actually despise?

    Speaking of FREE, how diffrent is FREE linux for an average user compared to Darwin; I can download it free after a FREE registration. So I don't pay (except for the bandwidth) in either case (story is diffrent should I become a developer)

  12. M[P3]usic Player / PDA / Phone: no thanx on Bill Gates: Cellphone will Beat iPod · · Score: 1

    I live in europe [old country], so this might not apply everywhere. I have a Nokia 6310i [which my boss/work provides] and personally a Sony Ericsson s700i which has 128MB MS-Duo (half capacity of the iPod Shuffle) and plays MP3, MP4 and 3GP nicely.

    I don't see my work/boss buying 100 multimedia phones/pda's for all of us that work there so we can listen to radio, play MP3's and watch video during work hours... just NO WAY.

    And in my private time, I don't want to sit on a terrace in the summer, listen to my music (MP3 or radio[stream]) and be disturbed by my boss, mother-in-law or any cutomer that thinks he/she can bother me on a saturday afternoon. The S700i (and other models) cannot play and turn off the Phone completely; you'd need two (2) power-buttons, one for the phone and one for the rest. And there is the problem; I might forget to turn the phone on... and be fired the next tuesday!!

    And what really would freak me out, should I put my Phone/MP3player/pda in a cradle and hook it up to my stereo, someone would just call while I'm listening to Limp Bizkit and the amp is at 9... and then I would hear the ringtone... full force.

    No thanx Bill, I'll take my iPod and got to the beach, and if you want to talk to me; call the office
