.. they have enough of that right wing fringe support that the preferences are attractive to other parties, so they become receptive to some of the 'less costly' policies in order to make a preference deal.
<goes slightly off topic..>
for those outside aust ( and a disturbing number of those eligable to vote next weekend) we runa 'preferential' electoral system whereby each ballot sees each candidate assigned a preference by the voter. if no clear majority is reached on first preferences, the least popular candidats' votes are redistributed according to 2nd preference, etc, until a clear winner is pronounced.
during the campaign phase, the candidates (usually through the parties) make deals to try to influence how the candidates will direct people to choose their preferences. people dont have to of course, but they had ya a bunch of fliers on your way in to show you 'how to vote'.
</goes slightly off topic..>
.. so back on track, these right wing nutters can scrape 10% of the primary vote in the bible belt, while the majors are sitting on 41%, they go chasing the preferences of the nutbag right wing lesbian porn haters ( rat bastards), then boom, whoever got that slice of the preferences now has to impose a porn levy...
but our elected representatives no longer listen to us.... we are here to listen to them... and the public service certainly isnt there to advise, it is there to make sure the government doesn not hear what it doesnt want to hear.
isnt the subtle difference here in teh nature of connection to the varios service: client/server usually geared towared connectionless communications, while 'web services' :.NET, SOAP, etc are getting around the need for a persistent connection by any other means?
in the end, you still need clients for any service you want to provide, the only difference is how you end up going about that last step of delivery. youre not going to get around classic client/server for things like games, but for things like suposed b2b communication, hell, why not just pick up a new socket each time, and validate the request based on content?
why not package the source for most apps that come out & having them build as part of the install??
RPM's are basically a script at teh start of an archive taht tells rpm where to put the binaries.
then ya go get teh source RPM.. balh blah...
why not jsut put it out to one package, and have teh local compiler build the executables before it installs em?? autoconf works great most of the time, and if they got super keen about it, some gui or menu to custom tweak it wouldnt be too difficult an extension.
sure, some people dont install a compiler or other utilities like make or autoconf, but unless they have to seperate production from development environments that way, they probably wont be installing many apps anyway, right??
it'd make a lot more sense to 'mould' each app to teh architecture rather tahn have one package for x86, another for ppc, another for alpha by putting it into one package and have it 'melt' into the optimal configuration.
isnt the x-box just a vehicle on which some flavour of DirextX can be implemented in hardware???
sheesh.
al you gamers out there... yes, all you/. gamers.. youre more'n likely ruuning windows something and more 'n likely crunching dirextX through your cpu/gpu.....
this xbox has that covered, and i'm sure the api for developers will call up directx on its own chip...
so the concept of porting it for linux/linux for it is really a matter of porting directX for linux/linux for directx

americans might deserve what they get if they elect bush again, but does the rest of the world deserve it too? :(
after install, find acroread (/usr/local/bin/acroread)
its a shell script.
add 'LANG=C' somewhere near the top, and all should be well.
pity adobe cant get round to adding it in themselves.
thats all fine and well,
