WU often requires our Small Business Server to reboot, even to fix browser vulnerabilities. That's a black mark in my book.
"I'm sorry, but can you all ensure your applications are closed and your worked saved by 5:00, we need to restart the server." I'm sure they think I do it on purpose.
Debian apt repositories are free too btw, in both senses of the word.
Can't remember the details, but the EU fined Volkswagen a significant percentage of their turnover for preventing cross-border trade of spare parts. I'm reasonably sure it was a 10 digit figure.
I doubt it had anything to do with Iraq. That disagreement took place from about October '02 onwards, I doubt they suddenly started making plans to migrate away from Windows at that point. Maybe paying for Windows licences makes sense if you are also helping to grow your own software industry.
Not necessarily a bad thing. Would you have preferred homogenous cheerleading TV instead?

Hell yeah, once they had grabbed Bin Laden, the rest of them would have forgotten their hatred and gone home to their villages.
As to universal health care, with the economy looking as shaky as it does right now, I'm glad to be in Britain with it's much derided National Health Service.
It's funny how much national outlooks differ. Over here, the people are most definitely against the removal of universal health care. Deregulated markets and winner-takes-all economics are not the only way to help people to be prosperous, secure and happy.
I thought conspiracy to commit a serious crime was an offence whether or not the crime actually took place. Serious question here, if someone who appears part of an organised group should be arrested for conspiracy after a crime takes place, why not before?
Anyway, had he fought the case, this guy might have won. The case was not tested, he (understandably) backed down in the face of a possible 20 years prison sentence.
Well, the BBC does have executives. I imagine that they are handsomely paid. I'm not sure if domestic output is subsidised by the government, the World Service probably is though.
Dreams? I'm listening to BBC Radio 4 right now. They also stream over the web, so hop on the bandwagon. Radio 6 is cool too, a comedy and drama channel, with a fair amount of SF in the mix.
BTW, your TV isn't free. Advertising costs money, you pay for it when you buy the products.
You can legally use toy walkie talkies in the UK without a licence. I guess they are restricted to a specific frequency band. I imagine the trouble is that the iTrip broadcasts on the same frequency as commercial stations in order to be received on tuners etc.
I would not be impressed if my next door neighbour broadcast on the same frequency as my favourite station. I live in a town house, so next door's transmitter could be within 6 feet of my hifi.
I use Gnomba, but then I also purchased 'Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours' a few months back, which dispelled many authentication and browsing mysteries. I'd recommend that book even if you just want to debug a Windows only network or learn what's happening when you connect to a Share-level vs. User level share. It even gives some pointers on patching your kernel to support Windows ACLs, but I didn't want or need to go so deep.
Those radiation machines had a flaw in their safety system. If a human unintentionally exploits a system flaw then the system is at fault, not the user.
When Win2K was first released (I think pre SP1, but I'm not sure), the following would lock the system, or at any rate cause the GUI to freeze:
#include <stdio.h>
void main() {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("\t\t\b\b\b");
} }
I haven't tried this in a couple of years and I suspect whatever caused it will have been fixed by now, but I swear it worked (I didn't believe it myself until I compiled and ran the prog). Why should printing 2 tabs and 3 backspaces, repeated 5 times, crash a professional OS?
Just to even things up a little, I look after a bunch of Win2K and XP machines in work. Apps cause problems, including MS Office, but system crashes are rare.
Hmm, I use Mozilla on Win2K in work, and the machine runs from 9-5 all day, every day without crashing. Maybe that's why. Then again, in our office of about 20 desktops, almost all problems are application related, either that or a connector has come loose.

'Interesting new possibilities'. From a web designer's point of view, would that be interesting in the sense of the Chinese curse? ;-)

Start even looking like a threat to the existing order and you'll find out just how free you really are.
Good luck, your government's military power is immense :)
I was following you right up until the random attack on Germans. Wtf wouldn't they support a homegrown software company?
Depends on your distribution, I imagine:
Debian Security Advisory DSA-358-1 linux-kernel-2.4.18 -- several vulnerabilities
Doh, quite right. I meant BBC7.

It does, yes. But this argument is pointless, we like the BBC :)
Except for the microbreweries. At least one of their radio stations (kexp.org) is very good too.

You forgot Edlin. =)
(Bizarrely enough, that link suggests that it is still included in Windows).
I still vaguely remember the edlin tutorial in the ms-dos manual: "Yours Sincerely, I.M.Sharpe".

If you are experiencing 2 or 3 system crashes per week on Win2K or XP, I'd say that was rather a lot too.
A device driver *is* part of the kernel. How could a device driver be isolated from the hardware?
I would say that spending $1000 per month eating out counts as entertainment.
