How would I benefit from conning M$ employees (G0d have mercy on their souls) into removing IE from their computers? I mean, "physically" benefit, as I do not believe the "mental" beneficial aspect of schadefreude counts.
Hear ye...I've been using Oprah for 6 months now, and everytime I'm at a window$ box w/out it, I'm stuck gesturing futilely in Internet Exfuckinplorer.
She died from that and its not listed anywhere on that site.
<quote>Wednesday, June 17, 1987 - A 19-year-old girl was killed after falling from the Lightnin' Loops shuttle loop roller coaster ride at Six Flags Great Adventure theme park in Jackson Township, New Jersey. An investigation by the State Labor Department concluded that the ride itself was operating properly, but that the ride operator started the ride without having made sure that all of the passengers were secured by the safety harnesses. The Department's Office of Safety Compliance further concluded that the accident would not have occurred had proper procedures been followed.
The park was found to be in violation of the Carnival/Amusement Ride Safety Act and was subsequently charged with the maximum state fines of $1,000. The ride was reopened on Saturday, October 10, 1987, with the permission of the Labor Department, but was eventually dismantled and no longer operates at Great Adventure.</quote>

If you're interested in a free, Linux-based internet mapserver, check out MapServer. It even imports ESRI shapefiles, which I guess is the most widespread data format for GIS (it being very much a Window$ World)
Oh I wish I also lived in USA so I too could have greater freedom of speech. Oh, wait. I would probably be gunned down before I had a chance to say anything.
The Danish Meteorological Institute launches weather balloons 8 places in Greenland even in winds of 60+ meters/second (35 m/s is gale force) and blizzards. The only thing that happens is that the balloons get stretched to ten times their original length, which looks quite funny - picture a guy in heavy winter clothing holding a 10 metres long light yellow sausage-formed object in snow storm conditions...
I have worked as balloon operator at the Danish Meteorological Institute, so I can tell you how this works: The winds at higher altitudes (10km+) is rather violent, often forcing the balloon to travel 100-200 kilometers eastwards (west is the prevailing direction of the wind in Denmark) during its ascent to an altitude of 30-35km. Then, at the top, the balloon tears (at that time it has expanded to a volume of 100 cubic metres from a starting volume of 1½ cubic meter) and drops gently to the ground, the torn balloon acting as a parachute. The kit is use-and-throw-away, so there is no need to chase the descending balloons (a good thing, because 90% of the balloons I launched landed somewhere in the Baltic Sea).
As you would have known, had you bothered yourself to read the article, the plan is to attach the transmitters to balloons already being sent up by the NWS...

I'll bite. First off, it's "[the] French are the smartest..." Second, if the French are so darned smart, explain the Maginot line please? IHBT.
Sorry to be anal, but do you honestly think M$ would write it in in php...?
.asp scripting and used php code as a metaphor ;o)
I can only assume that you, like me, don't know sh1t about

Isn't that RealNames [TM] at work? It is in Konqueror...
Erm....haven't you all seen episode IV-VI? What is there to spoil, when you have seen 5 hours of the films *after* this one?

That of course surmises I get to speak my mind before getting shot at.

Magister Mundi Sum = "I am the world's teacher"...works for me!
