Even without WMD as a reason to invade iraq, getting rid of saddam was good national security policy for the US, since even if he didnt have WMD now, he could very easily serve as a base for conventional terrorist operations against the US and other western countries.
Your brain is posoned by American propaganda without any hope for rehabilitation. I lived in several countries around the world (western ones included) and what you've just said is possible to hear only from Americans.
You should read more news from non-American sources. Many sources. Filtering such news and questioning the source quality is the only way to avoid any propaganda brain washing. However, it's too late for you.
I know a couple of researchers who also tried to combine hypnotism with brain reading. But what's happened is the observer was hypnotized too and he began to believe that they have a successful brain reading results. It took them awhile to question own result and to double check them on actual paper records just to find out that the results are still close to the average line.
The feeling of running a desktop that you built is completely different from the feeling you get looking at someone else's desktop.
If you build such a primitive desktop as FVWM then you don't really notice anything as nothong to build really, so your feeling is not good enough. Try to build GNOME, especially with Enlightenment-17 (or at least sawfish) WM, with all their configuration options and *THEN* compare your feelings!:)
The feeling of "building" desktop in FVWM is similar to customization of M$-Win in registries - too much of effort, to little of results:(

You don't neet xterm - just switch to the text console VTY) and run programs from there. Oh, and don't forget to set DISPLAY variable.
Hmm... it's seems like you don't neen even FVWM then, just run the naked X server!
connect LCD to to your dualhead card, while LCD to your serial port;
install a touchscreen software;
calibrate your touchscreen;
try gtkeyboard or other virtual on-screen keyboard software;
if you still don't like it then write your own (GNOME?) extension that will not just take a key input, but also intersect all menu and dialog windows to your touchscreen-LCD;
still not enough? watch star-track-like movies to steal deaign and usability ideas of their touchscreen-based keyboards;
I don't see this report in public. That just proves that Americans eat only what they are fed. All so-called sensation were carefully performed theatre scenes.
I think it's not just a rumor started in the arab world:
Wolfowitz:... the weapons of mass destruction issue was never the United States' prime reason for launching a war on Iraq (news - web sites) to overturn the regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites). "For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction, because it was the one reason everyone could agree on".
The British intelligence official: Iraq weapons dossier was 'rewritten', "transformed" a week before it was published on the orders of Downing Street. "The classic example was the statement that weapons of mass destruction were ready for use within 45 minutes. That information was not in the original draft. It was included in the dossier against our wishes because it wasn't reliable."
That just what was close my hands now. Besides that I remember news, reports and interviews saying similar things about Afganistan. Also I remember very bad (and dead - they wiped them out from archives!) news about Senate comission investigation Bush's administration activity right before Sep/11. Moreover, I remember some news with leaked info right from August/2001, saying that Bush is aggressively looking the reason to come to Iraq and Afganistan might be a good intermidiate step for that!
I don't believe that everything is leaking from the White House. I think they control what leaks. You'll never know how US administration was influenced by American mafia disappointed as Cuba separated. Or inlfuenced with drug deelers. Or with illegal weapon traders. Do you know that Bush (Texas oil boy) administration is working very close to Saudi goverment as they both are interested in keeping oil prices up?
You know what they decide you should know. Not more.
There was no any evidence considered by any court and proving that Sep/11 has done by Islamic Terrorrists on their own. There too much of doubts that CIA was not behind it as it was in many previous cases.
Think about it: Bush wanted to get Iraq oil. In order to get into Iraq he had to make an impression that Iraq is not the only country he is for. So, they decided to begin with Afganistan and thus to preliminary brain wash americans. How to get to Afganistan? Simple - let's bomb something in our own country and let's blame Osama and others in Afganistan and let the show begin!
So, don't use Sep/11 as an argument - it has been never proved in any court, especially in the International Crime Court, which has been officially denied by USA arrogant Govt.
And why do you hate Mozilla? IMHO Mozilla is the best browser, moreover it's a prototype of browsers of the next generation. Thanks to XUL. And buy-buy to HTML - which is the yesterday dragging us to the past.
The society cannot live without taxes (yes, Mr Bush, that's correct!)
part of taxes society must forward to temporary unlucky industries or locations or social groups;
the richer people and organizations - the more taxs they must pay;
We live already in global world, I would say in one global society;
US is the richest company in the world (of cause not as a result of a hard work!);
Conclusion? USA must feed the rest of the world! In reality it will never happen. Oppositely, USA is motivate to keep the rest of the world in poverty, thus controling the world economically.
It's easy to imagine that in overcrowded poor countries mass infection outbreakes will soon become a part of regular life, not a sensation. The world outside of USA (and few other ecomic leaders) is already not a heaven. But it will become a real hell. See trends in Africa. The gap is growing and no way that rich countries will begin paying back to poor countries.
Speaking about infection outbreakes. In such economical situation the chances of global outbreak are increasing. The life of our grandkids will be a nightmare. That's why it's time to prepare some plan B. I thing that Mars colonization is a good thing.
The territorial question is not in square miles, I agree. The question is in direction. The human kind is like a virus - it's progressing only when expanding. Without expanding to new territories the progress stops. Expanding to new teritories in Earth is not possible by economical and also by political reasons: ask Americans or Canadian if they would like to open unhabitable territories for free immigration. The answer will be NO as they afraid infestation (read with irony: contamentation) by Chinees and Indian people!
So, as there is no way to expand to Alaska, North Territories, and Australian deserts - the human kind must expand to Mars! It will keep the humankind busy for few centures and thus progressing well. Otherwise - we are dead from our own social cancer.
What for to keep th planet in its strile status? Contamenate it! Make a garden there!By the end of this centure, when Earth will be deadly overcrowded, you will deeply regret if you don't contamenate Mars now and thus don't prepare it for future colonists. You save either few billions of people from dying on earth or few billions of "native martian" bacteria from killing by contamentating terrastrian life forms. Which choice is yours?
I would pay for $600 stock if I'll see we buy it not to kill, but to revamp. SCO has some infrastructure (including support and sales channels, think about it!), technologies and, yes, IP. Why to destroy? It should be used, but it should be used only in "peaceful" purposes - such as competing and destroying M$, which we are certainly unable to buy:)
So, if the goal is to change the company for good - I am on! Who's next?
On a second though I agree, whole executive stuff must fired. And even sued. For being greedy and stupid:)
The major problem they are facing at the moment imho is probably a lack of qualified IT people, but give them time, and they will surely be there.
Sure qualified IT people have already been there, but in a past decade they have migrated to USA through H1B. Sure, now INS doesn't approve so many visa as those days, so give them some time just to reproduce themselves:)
You are right. And of cource America did it for free, right?
It would be fair if US would hold all IPv4 address space. It would be good for everyone as the "rest of the world" would go IPv6. Especially it would be good for US itself as it would finally kick fat american ass and force it to live in International Community, not as today - being surrounded by the "rest of the world".
I wonder, when American will understand that they are first of all humans and only second - Americans.
The book title is misleading. I thought it's really about mastering, something like Building MacOSX From Scratch. But In fact what the book is trying to do is to compensate the lack of user guide docs for MacOSX.
I don't see any mastering in the book. Do I miss anything?
The Gov't has a 51% interest in Telstra and rather likes the profits it gets.
The question is can Govt improve the situation (making Internet more attractive for small business in Australia) *AND* at the same time keep the profit (or even making more money on it)?
Now the Govt get's a profit from squeezzing from Internet money, which is small for Govt and big for people. Is that the only way for Govt to get money? How about taxes? Increasing telco taxes will redistribute the picture: big boys (Telstra?) will pay more, smaller boys (local ISPs and subscribers) will pay less. That will increase the demand for ISP services and overall make more money for Govt. Of couse the Govt must demonopolize the Internet industry in order to let it happen.
Oh man! I should move to Australia and make the Internet Revolution there! Just kidding:) In fact, it's sad to see that stupidy is still ruling our life. And not only in North America:(
I don't know about nuclear war, but internet and computers will be gone.
I think contraverally, all farmers will be gone, all that will be left will be Internet and computer. You can think matrix if you will.
I think, by the end of this centure most of intellectual workers wil be connected to interned directly, by means of biocybernetics, rather that by means of keyboards and screens. Perhaps something like implanted PDAs right in the brain.
At the same time, most agricultural production will move to artificial synthesis from actual soil fields. Also, at the same time most of electrical, mechanical and chemical manufactural plants will lose their last manual worker places.
The social life (like meetings, arts) will go virtual. Thus, by the end of next centure, the human kind will sit being connected to Internet for doing their work *AND* for socializing, and being connected to food supply pipes.
And of course, there will be a small group of people, partisans, who do not accept the progress, who live in caves and try to destroy the Matrix.
Now, coming back to the subject, neither a nuclear war nor an asteroid impact will make a big diference as the Matrix (read: hotels, residence apartments) will go underground.
what if i completely disconnect it from the internet?
Use a snail mail.
Just kidding. Seriously, EMC2, Compaq and many others when they do online support for such "disconnected" servers they insist that at least a modem connection is used. Well, back few years they even accepted ONLY modems - even for servers connected to Internet.
And what people do about it? Any protest actions? Any parlament discussions? Or most of Australians are fine of being screwd up? Or they don't know about the problem?
Today Internet is essential for small and mid businesses. For example, If i have a tiny company in my basement, I'd like to host my "corporate" server there. But what you are saying makes it impossible. How do small businesses survive in Australia? Or it's a country of only big corps? Or small business doesn't have any internet? Or they have to pay tax to Telstra to host their online services?

As a bonus, the html rendering engine is Open Source (KHTML as I recall).
That doesn't make it unique counting all Mozilla family.
