Let me explain this to you...the poor don't bankroll politicians campaigns, the rich do.
Golden Rule... The ppl with all the money make the rules, or in this case break them.
Most politicians in most countries are quite corrupt.
I am sure south africa is no exception to this.
The world needs a way to monitor the affairs of their politicians, because for example here in the states, they often spend more to get into office than they will receive as a paycheck the entire time they are in office.
The math doesn't add up.....until....you account for under the table gifts to them, their children, thei offshore accounts, numbered accounts in switzerland, etc etc.
As Open Source is good for code, the world needs Open Government, where those who serve are well paid and jack assery like this I am about to mention is considered a crime, and sent to court accordingly:
The telecoms have a history of total theft, and nothing short of destroying them totally and putting Co-ops in their place has any chance of succeeding against this carpet baggers of the new generation.
The WorldCom's , the global crossings, the Bells, Adelphia, it just goes on and on.
It needs to be a regulated utility, and when it is foudn they ripped us off "intentionally" they need their asses fined into oblivion.
The caveman first used pictures to indicate what he wanted, after many long years, they started using words...today we call it language, window users call it CLI, lol.
If you are looking for market driven GUI paradise then open up and say "Ahhh" and get you big mouthful of Fistya^H^H^H^H^H^H...Vista, and stop using Linux.
Noticing a few more Asian's and Indian's engineers at your work place ?
Hear of any companies that had their idea appear overseas and be reproduced and resold for much less, essentially ignoring all copyright/patents?
World Trade is great if everyone honors the system of who invented it owns it, but that may not happen for some time.
In the cult of cash, morality takes a back seat to the bottom line.
I have said many times, in the long run, it is bad for accounting to be the primary consideration for engineering decisions.
This applies for long term economic stability too, funny enough.
Overseas labor has no OSHA, has no FDA, just ask ppl with dead pets from tainted chinese pet food, or ppl that used the tainted tooth paste.
On a price point your no going to beat them unless you build robots here to do the labor for less than any other country can do it, and the sad fact is china or asia will end up making the robots for us.
Any way you stack it the US is in a economic tailspin of its own design.
Yeah Eisenhower warned of the Military Industrial Complex on his way out as president.
But Up until later part of vietnam we came to help ppl.
Keep in mind, we didn't start the vietnam war, the french did.
Ie. "French" Indochina is what it used to be called...
The russians helped europe up til the point they decided to take over most of eastern europe.
I think if you ask the Ukraine people who suffered under them, and newly free Georgia, you will not get a rosey picture of russia from them.
Or most of the eastern BLOC for that matter...
As for Iraq, that is a Bush-ism...As late as the 1990's the ppl in Kosovo and the majority of the UN begged us to stop the genocide.
Most ppl in the US are sick of War, and thus why we now have a Socialist House and Senate. Some call them democrats, but I call them what they really are.
2008 will see a Socialist president that is really a she-wolf in sheep's guise, no idea what she will do.
I think that Europe should have take care of its own backyard in Albania and Kosovo, but Europe really didn't care about millions being slaughtered.
The largest producer of CO2 on the planet are the Oceans.
Some ppl think we need to put the Co2 there in hopes that it will store it long term, and I think this is a bad idea because it will just end up back in the atmosphere.
Plants need Co2 to grow, they give off oxygen as a byproduct.
Thus long term plant life make a good carbon trap, as did oil, and coal.
We need long term carbon storage, covering a large section of australia with tree farms and aqueduct watering would do more for long term carbon trapping than dumping Co2 in the ocean.
The media hype over Co2 is explained well by multiple Phds.
Basically alot of the media hype over Co2 is bullshit.
Watch the "Great Global Warming Swindle" on google video:
This shows numerous former "scientific" members of the IPCC Intl panel on climate change, saying that the increased solar activity that is melting the ice caps on mars is what is reponsible for "most" of global warming.
An extension of the word 'drill' , some old oil wells are fairly deep, and some of them are played out, ie. dry wells.
They might make good exploratory candidates as the first 16,000+ feet is already drilled on a lot of dry holes.
Some are deeper: ( over 4 miles down )
Deepest well ( in california )(dry hole): Total depth: 24,426 feet (Point of Rocks) Year drilled: 1987 County: Kern (Sec. 29, T.30S., R.23E.) Operator: Occidental of Elk Hills, Inc. Well name: 934-29R
The state governments should start a cross state Co-op, and let each state manage a few open source apps support implementations, and then help each other out respectively and end the MS money train.
Sending money out of your state is bad Mmm'kay.
It is like deficit spending, money kept in circulation at home is good for your local economy, they get it when it comes to local retailers tanking due to internet shopping, but don't get it with MS.
It baffles me...put those out of work IT workers to work, and get the ball rolling.
some ppl would just be happy to have a open source job rather than support MS shite all day.
There is still a very long road ahead and it's going to be painful in many respects and it's still not a sure thing. When five or six major OEMs start to offer a linux distro and the demand stays I'll start to hope, but right now it is just too early to tell.
The big OEMs are in bed with M$, I work for one of the biggest, not naming names...
Their fear is the little guy that "loathes" M$ and wants to take M$ down, little guy IT has no MBA's to feed, no massive megalithic monster to maintain with giant building campus's and eletric bills the size of small stock offerings.
There is a storm coming, and the $199 PC will just be the start of it.
Mom and Pop home user often just want to do basic mundane open office like things, the web, and their stocks, etc etc.
The malware/crapware/spyware that has plagued windows is known to be getting worse, and they have heard on linux is nearly non-existent from their linux/Mac using friends.
Gamers recently found out that World of Warcraft run with Cedega on Linux...
The worm has turned, ppl are sick of the lies, and FUD out of Redmond.
33% Increase in MacIntosh sales in a quarter ????
My opinion...Vista/Malware/Crapware/greed driven pricing are the biggest threat to M$, not Linux.
They shot themselves in the foot, and they don't even get it....yet.
there is no domestic European camera industry to protect? As they say in the article, all the cameras are manufactured outside Europe. The purpose of tariff barriers is to protect domestic industry (or so I thought).
Now you are starting to understand it is socialism in the EU, a few more really bad laws like this and full perception of what is to come will dawn on most of the ppl in the EU.
The Soiet Union didn't lose, it just waited and changed its tactics.
OK, I'm a racist - whatever; I just hate the stupidity of the human race and folks who apologize for said stupidity using cultural relativism (See, I know some big words) and insult folks who call a spade a spade.
Stupidity knows all skin colors, it isn't racism, it is Idiocracy.
Your assessment is right, they say Islam is a religion of peace, but just like Christianity during the Inquisition its "peace" is hard to find.
Fatah, Hamas, Hizbollah, its all just another name for the hate in their hearts.
If you do not fight them there, you will shortly be fighting them here.
If mexicans can walk across the border by the millions then so can they.
Hell they can get a Alphabet of visas, get a job and get paid to kill us, just like the 911 hijackers got their Visas "after" the planes hit the towers.
Again...Idiocracy...It knows no borders, or skin color, it is Universal.

$200 billion rip off right here in the USA.
The telecoms have a history of total theft, and nothing short

it just goes on and on.

The caveman first used pictures to indicate what he wanted, after many long years,

If you are looking for market driven GUI paradise then open up and say "Ahhh"
...and STFU...
and get you big mouthful of Fistya^H^H^H^H^H^H...Vista, and stop using Linux.
Oh
Unless your using Ubuntu or similar distro, your gonna use the CLI a fair bit.
You can try using YUM, etc etc, but eventually your gonna get down to some
nitty gritty CLI, its the nature of Linux's roots.
More GUI will be added with time, but a lot of the Linux folks
do not have making Linux just like windows as their priority one task.
Linux would be best served by Distro's that best serve Enterprise tasks,
gamers tasks, common SOHO biz users.
Some distro's lean this way a bit, but the names chosen for a lot of
the apps are a tad less intuitive than what M$ chose.
Office is obvious, and so is Open Office.
GIMP makes ppl think of pulp fiction, lol.
A few other apps are likewise.
But in the long run what matters, is things like
the netcraft stats, Linux/BSD/*nix is kicking the crap
outta M$.
Nuff said...
Anyone want to tell my why management is craving Fistya ^H^H^H^H^H^H, I mean Vista ????
What can it really do that XP cannot ???
If you lock XP down, it does just fine, and runs all the Win32 apps now....

Some problems with RAID 1+0:
Not all hardware controllers will allow you to do a reconstruct to add more
space and extend the partitions later on RAID 10 or 1+0.
Recovering from a failed 1+0 is ok if it is a "simple" failure.
I have had better luck recovering RAID5's than 10's or 1+0's.

I think a better and easier way would be to capture the
heat from the thermal vents on the sea floor, no drilling.

Would it be easy, no probably not,
Would it be easier and cheaper than drilling every ten years a new hole, most likely.
