Socialism has been bandied about unsuccessfully for quite some time now.
No, you're talking communism. All cited examples are dictatorships. Sweden is about the most socialist democratic country theres been - 100% health coverage for everyone, well distributed wealth, free education, 13 month pat/maternity leavy etc etc. Doesn't ruin the economy or it's players either. Read for more info.
So, if someone was holding your loved one, with a knife to their throat, how would you want the police to respond? With a hug?
Yes I am a pacifist. Where applicable. Hitler -> no alternative. Iraq (second and third times around) not necessary. Ex-Yugoslavia - should've been there before and better. My point was against police brutality, not violence. You can learn the subtle yet fundamental difference here.
Fascism bears a 180 degree resemblance to right wing ideology.
This educational site gives : "Mussolini's fascist one-party state emphasized patriotism, national unity, hatred of communism, admiration of military values and unquestioning obedience."
I count five out of five for Bush. But let's not get silly : there is no comparison possible again.
What I don't understand is why any peaceful person would ever want to carry firearms.
How arrogant and totalitarian of you
Ehm. No. I said I don't understand why. Nothing arrogant or totalitarian at all. And you've just completetly failed to convince me that there is any use. I think using firearms to pacify people around you is more totalitarian.
Republicans don't demonstrate because they are conservatives. They don't want social progress, so they don't have much to demonstrate for.
Police violence is not good anywhere. But a strong police has traditionally been the programme of the right. The more cops there are, the more chance of accidents happening.
What's so bad about gun control? It will save lives, and ever since there's viagra, they won't be needing them anymore to get their hard-ons.
Abortion? Ever get knocked up and dumped? Ever been raped? Pregnant and unable to provide for another mouth? Accidents happen. Shit happens. Abortion is a way of saving at least the mother. The guys who sit in front of clinics making young girls feel even worse about doing the thing they will regret the most in their lives - which they do not out of disresect to life, to save their future, to preserve their offspring from misery, and at a tremendous price to themselves psychologically - do not have one millionth of the courage the people they are persecuting have.
Drugs? Not good. Hard drugs - way out. If you're referring to dope, I've seen more harm out of alcohol than cannabis.
Guess Bush and friends don't want to kill the happiest run of their lives - with their oil shipping at more than 45$ a barrel, they're definately not going to let some science bozos ruin the fun.
Only a few wussy nature conservation laws left from total petro-nirvana.
Ehm, increase their volume by 35%. Increasing market share by 35% would mean going from 96% to 131%, the kind of market share associated with banana-republic political parties.
That's not sure : if you reduce the cost of the product, you also reduce the profit shops are going to make on selling it. Your average Joe supermarket will then be better off preinstalling free stuff, and ripping 50 off the price tag rather than spensd the same amount of time for a couple of cent's profit.
There's also a Fiat vs. Mercedes syndrome here : people ASSUME it's going to be better because it's expensive.
Good thing is that with fusion you won't have 100 tonnes of kerosene on board. Let's face it, I can't see a Skoda making much of a dent in most buildings.
Makes a funky getaway without paying from terrace restaurants though...
I'll just make do with the bird Doc gets off with. Who'd want to go anywhere if she's ready to stay?

Agreed, but that'll be on an @home basis. Companies will not allow this kind of behaviour, as the first thing any admin learns on Unix in general is to swallow the peice of paper the root password came on.
Long live the sudo in this respect, it simply eradicates the need for a more complex (and thoroughly unuseable in Windows case) privilege system. Maybe users will be able to install packages for personal use, but only using urpmi, pointed at a regulated rpm database,m legislated by the admin.

Yeah, but The important question is : will the stupid user ruin everyone else's life? With Linux, I think, a lesser chance than Windoze.
Many people - like I - probably feel insulted with the XP 'Fisher Price' interface. I mean they could at least pretend they've not designed it for users that have the computer knowledge of a four-year old.
This is most excellent news. I think that with French administrations (esp education, research and military) moving towards Linux, Mandrake might be able to secure a few core customers on their home ground.
Most of all, it's encouraging and a releif for all the contributors - Mandrake has a great record of quality tools given back to the community.

Maybe you need to live in a less dangerous place?
If by 'social progress' you really mean 'socialist progress,' then you're right. But it isn't really progress, it is regress.
Can't be, as socialism has never been the norm. Feudalism would be regress.
disagree. If someone has me or my loved ones held hostage, I'll welcome some well applied police violence. And you?
No, I wouldn't. Violence != efficiency.
This is true. Hitler and Stalin and Mao and Pol Pot and Musolini had strong police forces and were raging right-wingers.
Let us compare comparables. We're talking democratic. Fascists ere extreme right wing BTW.
peaceful person's natural right to own and carry firearms.
What I don't understand is why any peaceful person would ever want to carry firearms.

I'm happy you live in Europe, too.

All we need to do now is to prove they include SCO code in their AV, and there'll be more than one set of sheets to clean!
Seen the shape of that thing? I'm hoping the rocket blast also looks like the cheap-o fireworks in the Flash Gordon series.
They might want to use modern video technology to rub out the strings though, don't look professional.
