Hahaha, according the article: because Linux was not stable, we have now the windows source code
Clues to the source code's origin lie in a "core dump" file, which is left by the Linux operating system to record the memory a program is using when it crashes.
Well, Holland isn't THAT big (like Maine, I thought), but IIRC it is done by some national agency and has the KPN (national telecom operator) mandatory equipment installed for eavesdropping (possibly) every phone (at least land-lines).
There is some concern in the Netherlands, however, that eavesdropping is done on laywer/client calls (probably the client is tapped already). Although this information can't be used in court, the laywers are not amused. It is surely easier to get the evidence, if you know the answers!
When adding the word 'difference' to the search (msn, google) gives some nice results: MSN 1)CNN.com - Technology - What's the difference between Windows and Linux? - March 3, 2000 2)Linux.com 3)Web Ad Blocking Under Linux/Unix, BeOS, MacOS and Windows 5)How to Replace Windows NT with Linux
Google 1)The Great Linux-Windows NT Debate - Making_Linux_NT-Like 2)Qt-interest Archive - difference pathname linux-windows 3)Linux vs. Windows: Choice vs. Usability and more alike
Thus maybe MSN is only 'biased' with very 'simple' searches. On the other hand, I can't understand the signifigance of nr. 2 at the google search
Because US is as big as Australia (as pointed out by others), one starts wondering why it took the florida team 50 hours to get to Mexico? maybe the 55mph speedlimit?
Look here http://www.silentroads.nl/index.php?section=produc ts for what is being used in the Netherlands. I read a 'discussion' about ZOAB, which was more like a flame war, that's why I don't post it as a reply. ZOAB is commonly used in the Netherlands, also because rain is removed from the surface quite fast, hence safer roads.
30 % annually!! This is asking for a central banking system like the European Central Bank. I would think that in this case in Europe the interest rate would be something like 10 to 20%....
I've read an article about Walmart being sued, because somebody was murdered with a knife bought there. Of course, Walmart is not to blame and does not have to remove knifes from their shops. But if MS does pro-actively remove those words from their program, they give a wrong signal in my view. As if they could be responsible for the contents of a document made by Office.
Very strang behaviour.
When I read articles like these, it occurs to me that one of the marketing reasons for closed source, 'accountability of the software company for its products' is just fake. MS has never taken its responsibility, not for blue screens or for worms/viruses.
It's better for other companies to have that in a service contract and voila, there is no difference in making money as a open or closed source software company. (err... there is one. open source has lower initial costs. So everyone Linux!:)
One thing I can say is, I'm glad we have groups in the US that counter these types of actions from seeing the light of day out here in the US.
As if in the US everything is about privacy. In general Europe has better privacy rules. The US government has even asked Europe to loosen these rules, because it made it problematic for US internet companies to work in Europe. (can't find the article:(, but see this/. art). Maybe you have groups that oppose such ideas, in Europe we have laws.
I agree with you that it is a bad idea to have 'easy acces' because of the possibility of ID theft, but I'm not making any illusions: what's proposed here to put in the safe deposit box is already in databases
I think the decision made by the court in England is correct (in my point of view). In this case the investigation of the genes is also needed to save a life (which is good), but it is a first of a kind. Ethical issues like choosing attributes of a human being are possible, but are they desirable. This one is the first of a process which is ending with you or me at the doctors desk 'designing' our breed. And a female-male child is not necessary anymore. Being a clone of your father,mother, or a child of a homosexual couple will be possible. Of all those possibilities, I think that cloning is a bad thing. Certainly on a large scale: it makes a living species vunerable for deceases. See the decease as a script kiddie with a list of which OS is running where. Once he got a tool he can break in anywhere he wants.
first this issue in Brittain to split a baby of which one will die. And now this. The frontier is moving a bit further. They examined the DNA closely to have a right fit for the girl. This is not very much away from choosing 'blue eyes, black hair', but this time it is (is it?) justifiable, because it saves a life. This needs a lot of discussion.
So if I want to know the security level of each and every program in Debian, I have to read night and day and have to know which patch adresses which flaw? It's ok (VERY ok) that those pathes are included, but it's also confusing (very confusing I might say
I must say that it looks very solid, but I can't say that the page has a nice, goodlooking lay-out. I can understand that they don't want to use flash or something like that, but this can be done better.
In the comments I've read (didn't read them all) most people say that Linux will be changed in the wrong direction (i.e. from the command line). Some remarks to things I've read:
- What has a nice OS to do with a GUI? GUI is on top of it! And you can design an GUI the way you want. - Thus a GUI and a CLI can live next to each other - Flexibility also includes being able to use the mouse for actions. - If I write a nice script I gonna use often, I want to be able to put it behind a button and never care about it anymore.
Some other thing. As stated in the article, there are many different kind of users. Geek to dumbo. And the "masses" will buy the best designed distribution, the geeks get slackware or so.
And to respond to this particular comment: Linux is multi-user, isn't it? What is the programming side used for in your case? Well designed GUI's for MS?

Great! Now I know how to get on with that game.
Oh... and don't forget to give the dog your sandwich

Try a turn based strategy/fantasy game Wesnoth. It comes with multiplayer server and gives you the oppertunity to grap a cup of coffee sometimes.
you can check the Dutch and use bable fi....
Damn, no Dutch to English

Too bad that the parent comment of a nice /. discussion is modded down....
Senators (you have two, you know that?)
No, I don't!
err...have, that is.
Tell me, what can I do in the EU!
c'mon, who modded this up?
Someone who read it for the first time in 2003?

is that we are looking at our own light. Can't it be possible that the light travels in a cirkle?
