The argument, the european satellite navigation system Gallileo will make the europeans independent from the USA, seems to tumble. Tagesschau [one of the most serious Newsmagazines in Germany] reports, US military forces may disturb or completely jam the Galileo signal without furhter notice, similar to what they are doing already with the GPS-Signals in critical times.
But that is not enough for the americans. They demand to reduce the quality ofthe unencrypted Galileo signal, which the System sends in normal operation. If the USA will succeed with its demands, one of the main arguments for the european Navigationsystem - it's much higher precision compared to GPS - would fall. The final decision talks are set for january in Washington D.C.
About four billion Euro will the Galilep project cost and it will start in the year 2008. About 30 satellites are required for the system. China and India also want to take part in financing the project with togehter 500 million euro.
The Microsoft Pawn's just don't get it. Linux and Open Source Software in General doesnt need SuSE or RedHat to exist. Don't get me wrong here, it's good that SuSE and RedHat were there and i am actually thankful for their contributions to the Linux Operating Systems. However, what the Microsoft Pawns dont understand is that both RedHat and SuSE (Novell) aren't dead and both did not Stop to exist. Infact, they both took a step in the right direction.
RedHat is getting much more professional as they are already and relys now more than ever on the Open Source Community. Their major Product is being built upon the newly founded community project Fedora and they now just focus on the Server Market - THE MOST IMPORTANT MARKET MICROSOFT HAS. This basically means that RedHat really started to be a very major Competitor to Microsoft and just snook into the Garden of Microsoft Customers.
Novell on the other Hand just see's that their old market is dying as Open Source alternatives are arriving and just decided to change their Businessmodel. They are not going to Kill of SuSE (it wouldnt matter if they did, as there are enough viable alternatives to SuSE), but instead now also Focus on moving into the yard of Microsoft as they see lots of potential in the Products of SuSE and their Open Exchange Server is a damn good alternative to the stuff Microsoft is barfing upon their customers.
here we have written in the law that everyone who wants to copy, cite and whatever is allowed to do so since everybody should know the law, therefore everybody has the right to use it

RUN MICROSOFT! RUN!

you know, stealing is cheaper than buying or doing it on their own, reminds me on the little bug in their commandline ftp client...hmm...
