The first time was when the foot and mouth epidemic was at it's highest. I did the tour around ireland (North and South) and I loved it.
The second time I went to Dublin and stayed there for a week. I really hated it. Dublin has got to be the most expensive city I've ever stayed in - and I grew up in London. I would go into a restuarant and order Lasagna for example at an extraordinary price, and they would serve just Lasagna. That's it - no salad, no vegetables, nothing. There was also a large number of homeless sleeping everywhere in the middle of the day!
Still, I did manage to get the train a few times and escape Dublin which was good fun.

You know, that reads even worse. Maybe I'm reading too much into your statement.
You agree that MS did initially try to push something as an open standard when they could sue over the patents, but then complain that at the 'yelling and screaming' of those who objected.
There have been many tests. If you take a group of people, and look at their face structure and make a model of it (so getting rid of skin colour, make-up etc preferences) then everybody will sort the faces in order of beauty in almost exactly the same way.

Can't they build aquaducts or canals or something?
Idiot. Even in a 3rd world country the average per capita income is up to $5000. So a large amount of them could afford a laptop.
Didn't Jesus also say that prostitutes would be the first to go to heaven when Jesus returns? He liked prostitutes a lot.
Did he provide a link to his daughter's head on a naked body? I look at them and see if I'm persuaded.
Yeah I really hate when people write that. I tend to mod down anyone that says "mod me down".
Hopefully the free market will work here and drive down linux support costs over time. We hope :-)
I don't get the comparison. Do you pay MS for that level of support? Couldn't you pay the linux company for that support as well?
It seems the story is about how crap support you got from the linux company compared to MS, rather than any open/closed source issue.
epsilon is then a hyperreal number, not a real number. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperreals
More typically you say 1 - epsilon with epsilon an arbitrarily small number, such as 0.0001
Breaking which license agreement??
You mean like the idea to send up a school teacher? That idea was tried but got blown out of the water. Well she was blown out of the rocket anyway.
I don't think anyone wants to risk the same thing happening twice.
I went to ireland twice.

I use Keep On Top, Borderless and No Focus all the time.
> They have never been ok with them EVER. Its just in the past they never prosecuted them because they had no plans to sell the shows here.
So... they were ok with it since they had no plans to sell the shows here

It's posts like this that bring me back to slashdot continually. It's really nice to actually have some Iranians have their voice here.
Heh, Microsoft trolls are so funny.

Real nice.
Write-lock? Who on earth uses windows for writing latex?
But since they don't, then it's a good reason to use P2P for it

Scratched CD?
They were so unlucky that they got the sums wrong!
It requires a minimum of 5 wavelengths to cover the whole spectrum that the eye can see.
Dude you're all over the place. You said "NEVER kill", and now you're saying killing for fun.
How did you jump from killing under extreme conditions to just as easily killing you?
