The part about recruitment is moot, because I dont know many people that speak Arabic out of the Middle East
I don't know where you live but in the Netherlands and France a lot (if not most) of the people of middle eastern/north african descent speak arabic.
Even most of the 3rd generation immigrants I know speak arabic. To me it seems that makes a decent recruitment pool.
It's not a rival when it comes to supersonic flight as the US isn't interested in a supersonic flight program.
And, as it won't be a real competitor to regular flight anytime soon, it's not unlikely they'll keep their alliance with the US for regular flight.
represents a interesting shift in technological alliances given the Japanese aviation industry's longstanding ties to the United States
Does it really or are they just trying to benefit from France's experiences with the concorde for this project?
Nowhere in the article does it say it'll change it's alliance for anything else.
I agree there need to be many more straightforward books but it's getting better (in English anyway. You have to search a while to find something in Dutch any I imagine it's similar for other languages that are not as widely spoken).
I picked up a dutch copy of Linux for non-geeks (Rickford Grant) and gave it to my mom (59). She's had no problems at all installing Fedora and has since been able to get all the programs she needs (mail, internet and arcade games) to work without my help.
If you want to get users to abandon Windows they'll need step by step guides to take them through everything they need to know and they need to be as basic as they can possibly be.
All they need to do is get their systems running with the programs they need. If they want to learn more there are plenty of books out there that will teach people anything they want to learn.
Let's face it though, just like with cars and toasters, most people are not interested in how it works. They just want it to work.

So if users don't even see the BIG FLAMING WINDOWS VERSION NUMBER during boot up, the odds of them picking up a book like this and getting it/off the shelf/ is near zero
There's absolutely no need for windows users to even look at their screen during boot up as it doesn't tell them anything interesting.
I know that whenever i turn on a windows PC I just hit the power button and go get some coffee.
It's similar for my DVD player, I know it displays some gold coloured letters when I turn it on but as there's nothing interesting there I don't look at what it says.
PWC Consulting was taken over by IBM and turned into IBM Business Consulting Services.
Advisory Services (most likely to have written this report) are still PWC.
Oops, missed the reply.
I'm pretty sure the dutch judges in this case are fluent in English. Good chance they are fluent in one or two other languages but that has nothing to do with the case as it pertains, once again, to the Netherlands.
In the Netherlands dutch is still the language spoken so regardless of how many languages a judge speaks the case is tried with Nederlands (dutch) as a base for comparison.
If ford tried to trademark 'Engine' to prevent other people from using the word than your right, it shouldn't be allowed... In english speaking countries.
Again, the word has no meaning in other languages and can thus be trademarked in those countries.
I'm sure you would have no problems with ford patentening 'hijskraan' in the US if it decided to start building those.
US courts should rule on whether or not Microsoft trademarking of Windows is legit... in the US.
English courts should decided for the UK,
Australian courts for Australia,
etc.
I'm sure most of them would agree the word can't be trademarked there as it's a common word in the lcoal language.
Again, this has nothing to do with countries where English is not the native language.
Saying they should adjust to include English words in their language (or at least in their decisions regarding trademarks based on words) is nothing but sheer arrogance.
The language aspect has been explained so I won't go there either.
As for Microsoft being a company based in an English speaking country... You're trying to see things too black/white.
I'm pretty sure (can look it up for you if you want) that the case in the Netherlands wasn't brought to court by MS US but by Microsoft B.V. (a registered dutch company) or one of their dutch holding companies.
This is the reason the ruling affects just the Netherlands and has nothing to do with the same case in France, Germany, the US or on the moon.
Oh, as for not caring if we speak dutch... I don't care you speak english and don't see any reason to change our language just so you can make black/white arguments on the net;-)
Uhmm... you're forgetting something really big here....
Aside from in the UK english is *NOT* the people's first language in Europe so the entire 'it's a common word' doesn't hold any water here as, according to the local languages, they are both names that are only one letter apart.
Aside from that, it wasn't a european ruling. It's a dutch ruling. Big difference although I'll admit there is a good chance other countries will follow the ruling. Not because they're part of the EU but because windows is not a word but just a name in the local languages.
that basically anybody can read and understand.
I doubt it will ever be read by anybody that " suffers from hysterical propaganda" though thus reducing it's effectiveness a bit.
Still, a good thing to use as a starting point if you ever want to do a speech on Open Source Software development.
Not really, during take off and landing you can knock the plane out with an RPG as well.
Granted, you can only do it from a limited distance but it doesn't take 'more'.
Although working at public places is a great way to meet your social needs (it always worked for me) tbut keep in mind that you may be working with (at that point in time) sensitive information.
If somebody glances that of your screen and uses it you can be held liable for insider trading.
The report doesn't suggest overnight riches for Redhat. It doesn't say anything about their financial position either. What it does say is that Redhat wants a new call center. This is most likely going to coast a fair bit so don't expect them to spend more time on fedora from now on (although from what I understood they are still actively involved with that as is).
Yes, it's terrible wasting money on education when we could use it to make our armies so much stronger.

The problem is that auditing is not enabled by default.
First think about how many home user you know are computer savy enough to turn it on.
Now think of how many of them realise it's not turned on by default.

If you can't read sarcasm in this
I can't stand companies that only give a few hundred thousand in donations to charities, instead of giving 100% of their net profits. Those bastards
it's completely lost on you I fear.
uhmm, I think it's called sarcasm ;)
Uhmm.. since somebody decided to block all other ports?
Keep in mind, all they are offering is interenet so all they need to do is open port 80. They can just keep all the other ports closed.

Flamebait?
When did movie references become flamebait?
They did as there was some miscommunication between Brinkhorst and the dutch parliament http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=16984

seems to me that the point you are trying to make is that you like to be off topic.
