The average person in the EU, well the majority anyway, are seriously p*ssed off that the WTO forces them to eat GM food without knowing it.
Most of the EU does not want GM food, although for a variety of reasons: for some people its health and safety, for some its morality, and for others its economics or the environment. EU politicians risk losing their seat if they vote for it, yet the US is forcing the WTO, at the US's behest, to make us take food we dont want to eat, by not allowing us to know which food it is so we can choose not to buy it.
The Mini Cooper dates from about 1968, very considerably before the advent of the CD player, and furthermore had even less security than Windows ME. Even if the doors were locked, you could still open them by pushing hard, because the entire door would bend such the lock mechanism no longer held the door shut! It certainly did not have an alarm.
Not only that, the electrics were so poor, it was not unknown for condensation to completely flatten the battery overnight.
As a UK resident, all I can say is "that is what we have come to expect from this government". It seems they thought George Orwell's 1984 was a manual on how to govern.
However, we do have one advantage over North Korea: Blair has less credibility than Kim Il Jong. And unlike most facist governments, they can't get the trains to run on time either.
If you are not allergic to IBM, and need a powerful database, you would probably rather run db2 than Oracle anyway, especially if you are using other large IBM packages.
Its true that Postgres users would not buy MMSql server - why would the owner of a free Rolls Royce PAY for a Ford?
Compared to Postgresql, MSSql Server is rubbish.
And who on earth would put a production database on an operating system that cannot run headless? (Hint try booting windows with no screen or keyboard).
Never send a boy to do a man's job. If you want your data, then you want Postgres, probably on Solaris or FreeBSD, and you certainly do not want MS in your server room(s).
A person's genes should be their inalienable right. They should not be able to buy or sell them, and no one else should be allowed to own them either. (Except maybe God, subject to appropriate paperwork)
IE7 is so badly broken its next to impossible to be compatible with it and anything else.On top of whih the weekly "upgrades" keep changing the target.
Its the "extend" part of embace, extinguish, extinguish.
Everybody knows some footballers are worth a million dollars and others are not worth a fig, but somehow hardly anyone realises that some programmers are worth a million dollars but with some others it would be worth a million dollars to get shot them (see the daily wtf for details).
In fact Altair BASIC was the first and pretty much forever the smallest BASIC interpreter (4kB.)
NO, No NO!!!! <stomps feet, throws chair> 4k BASIC was the industry standard product in those days. At the time, there were MANY computers, each with entirely different architectures, as in like a G4 mac differs from a PC. EVERY DAMN MACHINE HAD 4K BASIC. And it had 4K Fortran as well. Any credible machine probably offered als 4K Algol if it wanted to sell in Europe.
4K was the cut down version, and it was pathetic. Running "Lunar Landings" would totally max it out. If you wanted to do real work, you got the 8K version.
You sure as hell could not solve Maxwells equations in 4K Fortran on any machine I tried it on. Now 8K, that was a REAL machine;-) We are talking 1975 here.
For those not fomiliar with it, the smell of the sea around Norfolk is something I grew up with. As an adult, I can tell you it has three major components:

b) America
Yes it is possible to be so narrow minded you can see through the keyhole with both eyes at once :-)

Hongkong and Shanghai are no longer part of the UK. You need to update your map (I hear Google has good maps).
It will probably still manage to deliver quite a number of IDs to criminals though.

I think you forgot the most important question: Do Martians drive SUVs?
Probably not ... software patents are not valid in Europe anyway. Taking a non-step is easy for European politicians. In fact, they are experts at it.
IMNSHO, db2 pisses on Oracle from a great height.

In teh final analysis, The only thing that counts is how many Senators the format owns
Is that right after Sun support Sun supplied ATI 3D Rage cards on Sun supplied UltraSparc hardware on Sun Solaris 10 then?
As a Sun Fanboy, I want to know when my kit will actually work?
And the Dept of Homeland security is doing what? exactly!

The USTPO might wish to check this for prior art.
Oh its UAVs... thats a shame!

Dead fish
Diesel Oil
Raw sewerage.
Not necessarily in that order.
Or perhaps the fact that many of the candidates have convictions for fraud, corruption, or dishonesty?
There's one born every minute
I find an OpenBSD install disk works quite well for Botenet removal. In fact, it even removes the ones it cant detect.
I say we nuke 'em from high obit. Its the only way to be sure!
