My point was that a lot of people waste a lot more money than that on things that are arguably a whole lot more stupid. It also highlights all the good things that the US could do with the "Iraq money" - good, beneficial things for the planet, instead of invading other peoples countries.
Don't get all defensive because I mentioned the war in Iraq.

"when ever Americans get in an argument with Europeans they will bring up WW2 and claim to have 'saved the Europeans arses'"
We (the Brits) are still paying off the debt of paying for all their fuel, transport, and wages that they incurred fighting in WW2. And there was naive me thinking that the US got involved "just to be decent chaps".
Arguably, one could make a space suit that was simply a skin tight layer + helmet. The problem with that would be that it would have to be *perfectly* skin tight.

Arrg. Why do people have such problems with lose (as in not be able to find), and loose (not tight). You can't loose time, unless it's wrapped tightly around something.
a/ I use every single day a browser, and email client, and, sometimes, have to compose simple HTML pages. I seldom use IRC, but when I need it, I use ChatZilla (no need to download and track yet another piece of code).
I'd, on the other hand, prefer to update only the IRC client when there is a flaw in the IRC client, rather than 4 packages. You know how long it takes to compile Firefox and Thunderbird?
What?
A daemon that reads it's config from text files rather than a nasty database is certainly more UNIX-like than it is Windows-like. Not to say sensible.
Also, Microsoft are doing lots more UNIX-like things recently, if you care to find out about them.
Now, you update those libraries and think you're patched, but any programs had those libraries open won't get the fixes until they've been restarted, which might be a long time for some kinds of programs, leaving them vulnerable.
lsof/lib/libc.so.6 gives a nice list of all the processes touching that lib. Just restart them all.
From what I understand, Linux doesn't lock the files like Windows. You can overwrite a file that's already open, and all new opens of that file will use the new contents. I've certainly never seen an error like: "cp: Error: Unable to copy file - destination file locked" or similar.
I have a problem, both at home and at work, where sometimes when I type in a form field, it pops up the "search" bar at the bottom, and starts putting my typing in there. Not good if I am entering a password with a co-worker sat next to me. Anyone else have this problem? Is it a known bug?

Wonder how much innovation will be sacrificed by pulling developers and stuff off creating great new features, and putting them to work creating copy proof/crack proof install media.
Give it 5 years, and they could have 95% people trying blindly, Microsoft style to stop piracy, and have given up making the OS better in the first place.

I hear they're planning to use volume to make a profit.

How much is the cost to the US of keeping all those guys in Iraq at the moment...?
Mine is even simpler: dd if=/dev/dsp | nc foo.host.com -p1500....?

I would be quite interested in hearing about any software that does bar-code scanning using the mobiles camera.
