    the possibility of generating revenue locally instead of selling their petrol in order to send it back to the US.

  4. Could you tell us what language is being used ? on Ask About the Iraqi LUG · · Score: 1

    Are the Iraqui's being forced to use Linux in English versions or are you being respectful and using Linux in Persian ?

    Hasn't the value of the dollar dropped by about 25% since GWB took office ?

  8. Re:Giant Robot Anteaters on Army Looks at Robotic Dogs · · Score: 1

    and how about $2.5m of technology for AVOIDING war ?

    Seems like everyone is too busy having an shuddering orgasm over the thought of playing remote war robots to think about the human suffering that is inevitably born of war.

    sounds like there are others with their heads in the sand to an even greater degree....

  18. Re:Always a loser... on Farewell To The Concorde · · Score: 2, Insightful

    yes, but without having built Concorde Europe wouldn't have the number one commercial aircraft builder that is Airbus today

    Concorde was a necessary technological proving ground, it would have been built even if it wouldn't have flown commercially.

  20. Re:The situation in Europe on SCO Backing Off Linux Invoice Plan · · Score: 1

    In France, for licenses, the VAT is due when the invoice is issued.
    For services, it is due when the invoice it is paid (cash collected).
    So as most large companies pay between 30 and 90 days, very often the VAT has to be paid to the tax man before the cash is collected.
