Now take your self back a few hundred years, which is where the Muslim world is today. Islam has been around 1400 years, Chiristianity 2000. What would happen to a blasphames author in say the year 1492, or even as far up as the 1800's. That's right, exactly the samething that the Muslims are doing today, Kill the author, bomb the place that sells the book.

Looks might be same but there are many differences between Office 2000 and Office XP. One of the examples is Office Web Components(OWC). I was using OWC in Office 2000 to generate Web Based Charts in my web Reports application. There were many problems with it including the threading model and getting a chart without writing to disk. Chart generating capabilities in Office XP OWC are free threaded and support Getting the chart from memory.
Hmm, reminds me of a story I heard regarding the much-maligned SA80 rifle over here in the UK.. apparently top brass invited over Mr Kalashnikov one day (designer of AK47 fame). Mr K. had a good look at the SA80 and turned to the generals and said "You must have really clever soldiers".
Actually Mr K said "In Soviet Russia, Guns fire themselves"

Govt may choose Linux as platform for official computers
By Naveed Ahmad
ISLAMABAD: While the government continues to engage the Microsoft Corporation in dialogue to seek exceptional discounts for making its software as platform for official operating systems, a recent notification suggest that the stage is set to adopt Linux instead.
"Linux is going to be the cornerstone of this initiative, as it is world over the Open Source movement," said an official correspondence, confirming its decision to replace the pirated Windows-based systems already in use in the government offices.
The ministry explains: "Open Source is a global information technology phenomenon that brings the benefits of using and developing cutting edge software technology to all." Open Source software frees economically deprived entities from the burden of resorting to software piracy for their genuine software need. "Since the government of Pakistan is committing itself to the reduction of piracy and the protection of intellectual property rights, a programme to make Open Source technology indigenous in the country is strongly needed," said the official notification circulated to the forum members.
The process of making Linux and Open Source technologies indigenous has to follow the Open Source model itself. "Hence the Linux task Force is being established consisting of volunteers with the desire and capability to participate in the process".
The notification explained professionals in the Task Force would also come out with R&D programmes for creating government-funded projects to create user-friendly client-server software, training strategies, usage in the development of applications.
The government plans to form various sub-groups under the umbrella of the Linux Task Force, which would contribute by initiating various inventive projects in different critical areas with regard to Linux. The newly formed body will also "help in formulating policies and guidelines which in turn will create opportunities for Pakistani people in the field of Linux".
The task force will hold meetings, seminars and conferences to "propagate and educate the user community at large". Policy-makers, technocrats and technical experts from various software houses will participate in such programmes to bring awareness of Linux and its usefulness among the layman class, said the official document.
The ministry hopes that the professionals associated in the task force would pick up various threads to perform various key activities to engage their professionalism to deal with manoeuvring productive activities for achieving ultimate goals of Linux.
Salman Ansari explained in the notification that the initiative has roots in several discussions on the issue of protection of intellectual property rights and adoption of open source as a national strategy. The government believes that this would "provide a basis for creating a skill set to enable our people to do original work, create a pool of Linux expertise and get into the real nuts and bolts issues like embedded software using the Linux platform.

Those who horde knowledge are committing sins. Knowledge is to be shared and not to be horded by a person or a group.
The problem with muftis is that there are plenty and in Islam there is no single authentic schools of thought. Which means that many people can have many opinions and unfortunately many muftis don't know as much as they should. There are a lot of people that go around calling themselves mufti who are not or should be be allowed to issue fatwas. This is the reason why it is so easy to buy fatwas.
They are a dime a dozen.

So does this mean that North Korean hackers have outdated information about their own country's WMDs?

I wonder what would happen to this tank if it was hit by a HEAT round right after being hit by an EMP pulse that takes out its electronics.
If they are researching shields they are also researching EMP weapons technology that might have reasonable success in disabling this shield.
