Believe it or not buisinesses generaly want proven reliable technology for their buisness, NOT the latest and greatest trend. To them a webbrowser or other application is really just a tool needed for whatever money making schemes they run. Keeping up with the latest fashions is NOT what they want at all.
Remind me again which part of those doesn't involve killing? Seems to me like all of them would really.. and how the hell is an armed populace a good thing?
Anyone would have thought that looking at modern history it would be fairly easy to see that War rarely creates less problems than it solves. It takes real guts and strength to sit down with those with whom you disagree and reach an understanding. It takes an idiot to start a war though
a) What makes you assume that Democracy is automaticaly better than everything else? b) Even if democracy is superior I don't think sticking Israel in the middle of a bunch of non democratic states is going to make them suddenly become democratic is it now? I'd even go so far as to suggest that they might be more likely to become democratic without Israel's presence/bad example
The only reason that Iraq "had to" be played if I remember correctly was because the US had been trying to run secret wars there and play everone off against the Russians. NOT because of the end of the British empire.
Israel as NO RIGHT to march into someone else's country, and declare it as their own even if they are apparently "Gods chosen people". I never said I condoned violence ever, and Israel marches in (with US/World backing at the time) turfs the Palestinians out, and keeps them out with US military hardware and expertise, AND then keeps encroaching further and further into the Palestinian state, trying to split the whole thing into two, and constantly claiming everything is for their security. Why are the US backing Israel here I wonder? Not because they believe they have any moral obligations to (though they do try to kid themslves somtimes), but because it makes for a very handy outpost in the middle east for scaring Arab states from!
"I want to kill you bastards with my hands. I want to rape your women and shoot your babies in the head." So speaks the words of the "liberator" of the world...
AND notice in Palestine where arabs ARE fighting for the virtues that Europe belives in against the US backed Israeli oppressors many people in europe sympathise with these people (Though our leaders are far too busy sucking up to GW to do anything about it)
a) The people who are "raping them dry" are the banks with the enormous interest b) Did I EVER say that we wern't in part responsible for the problems in the Arab peninsula and Palestine/Israel
(O and the whole Iraq thing was largely due to the US trying to play Iraq off against it's neighbours in the 70s/80s anyway. The US spend all their time wondering what it is that drives people to hate them and do "evil"... try realising this: The war in Iraq will ONLY have served to reinforce in the mind of extrimists their belief that america is evil)
(Israel are ILLEGALY ocupying parts palestine, attempting to enforce apartheid, and running what without the suicide bombs would be the most one sided conflict in the history of this planet! Note, that I DO NOT CONDONE suicide bombings, however I can clearly see why they would seem like the only option to a few people in Palestine)
You seem to be missing the beatings and the political opression in Zimbabwe too. AND Zimbabwe was one of our former colonies until after world war II so we have an obligation and relationship quite different from that with Iraq.
And what the hell makes you think america is the only country with a god given right to own WMDs (not that Iraq actualy had any though). Saddam would have been quite justified in turning round and demanding to inspect American stock piles.
And remember all that fuss about those two captured pilots being shown on the TV being against the Geneva convetion?? Then America declares Saddam a POW under the geneva convention and shows yet MORE pictures of him having nits picked out on tv.
Yeah... I think someone in this house _STILL_ has blaster or one of that ilk, despite me nagging everyone since we moved in about it (Student house, with 8 people).
Can anyone confirm how exactly this new virus spreads though now?
I'm still shocked that they're basicaly trying to say that I shouldn't be allowed to distribute my code (ie my "intelectual property") as I see fit, and presumably that I should be forced to sell it if I want to redisribute it or somthing! They pretty much said that open source was unamerican... anyone remember that article on here a while back now about "unthinkable thoughts"?? (couldn't find the link to it though)
The other stupid thing that shocked me reading that letter was the overall assumption that if somehow the US gov restricts Opensource/makes it illegal, that opensource in the Europe/Asia would somehow magicaly stop... NO! get a grip man.
Quite a few international development companies send builds around the world daily/hourly at extremly high speeds. 11GB over a week (I think it was a week wasn't it??) is nothing compared to that.
Can someone explain to me why we need to get linux running on every desktop in the world exactly?? As far as I can see linux on the desktop has always been a hacker thing, and it is pretty much the number one choice of desktop for hackers, so why try and take away that greateness???
Hang on whats the third one? Theres 3 bits in Rocks-Paper-Scisssors, and only ADSL and Slashdot by my count... what beats slashdot, and gets beaten by ADSL?
Best I can come up with is Microsoft Tech support!
Firbird now reaches well into the realm on the non-techies... I was quite supprised a couple of weeks back now when a non geek friend tried to convert me to firebird!!!
Slashdot Mirror
right. becaause where there is money involved people can automaticaly be trusted?

Junior implies younger, and less mature, neither of which are good connotations for a webbrowser really
Well from what I can see about 60% of it is just header files which well Duh are gonna be similar
of which 50% is JFS's inode.h, and the other is todo with EVMS
then the rest of it looks like clock stuff, and i386 stuff, and unless im missing somthing thats the general gist of it!
I'd say 1 week max til it's all gone or shown not to actualy belong to SCO
Threat deterrent.
Self defense.
Entertaining sport.
Armed populace.
Remind me again which part of those doesn't involve killing? Seems to me like all of them would really.. and how the hell is an armed populace a good thing?
There is no absolte good or evil in this world. The only thing which is absolute is hatred.

and STILL you didn't get FP!!!
Because then the editors would be even more distracted, and we'd get more dupes :-)
Hand compiled eh? ;-)

I think you mean Who wants to enhance some images using Adobe(R) Photoshop(R) software :-)
I would PAY to watch that one :-)
:-)
Brings reality tv to a whole new level when the net result is a monarch chucking a pie at someone
Hell they can't even manage Paper ballots let alone Diebold voting machines! :-)

genocide n.
The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.
Looks more like just attacking civilian targets than genocide to me...
