Thanks for the info, what I mean is that Russia/Soviet always were interested in the region, and that Afghanistan is full of mixtures, which Russia wanted to divide into cultures (to control them easier, so they could conquer the Indian Sea and propably India (+Pakistan) itself) giving them the right to have ships and troops in that area.
well, here in Denmark, I have never seen a Microsoft commercial in television (maybe there has been, but without my notice), but the IBM Linux Server commercial runs all the time. Too bad it is not Desktops they are selling (yet)
and because of this, Afghanistan is only about 40% of the original country. The areas the Sovjet Union conquered (I can't spell!) became other "stans": Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, that indeed where under Sovjet rule until the creation of the Rusian Federation (which I think they are not member of). Afghanistan had (and probably still have) a high culture, which was developed before the CIA vs. KGB coldwar. Their connection to Pakistan today is not to forget either, and many (really many) afghan emigrants around the world are quite high educated.
nope Sir, you are wrong. Wired Magazine is indeed commercialized on Wired Website. Nobody talked about company relations, well, before you did. And I still see the Lycos bar when I am on Wired Magazine's Homepage.
I actually though about that... it can't be that hard to animate.
1. Take screenshot of current screen
2. Load second user/second server
3. Take screenshot of second user's screen
4. Load simple GL app with those two screenshots and rotate.
5. Show second user's screen.
a small and fast SDL-progam should make this quite easy to make. The only question is if you really want that effect, and again showing that is copying mac/windoze graphical "features".
part of the unix family, not the UNIX Trademark. OSX is a further development of Next Step, which Steve Jobs was involved in some years before. Linux is also in the unix family as minix, sco and BSD among others.
it is probably a joke, but anyway I can tell that I installed gentoo on a 300MHz Mac with 256MB RAM at our school. Thinking of that I have a 1.8GHz machine with 1GB RAM at home, the copy of 100MB from one partition to another took about a minute on my PC, and about 10 sec on the Mac... it impressed me... just my 2 eurocent

As just seeing this, it reminds me of a simular approach from the anti-piracy group in Denmark (aka MPAA-clone) some years ago. Showing some television commercial with frat-boys downloading music on the internet. Many segments of the country (they were trying to market it to parents) including youngsters and parents felt strong against this image of young people in Denmark, and they recalled the commercial. Software has been and still are a issue of pirating, from Commodore 64 in the 80's to windoze today... well, OSS will pervail... Join usss now... shaaare the... (singing while listening to Fensters version, please put your hands to your ears when you read this).
cDc is involved in this. Back orifice has been running on sourceforge for long, I remember seing it as number one development some years ago. Today I have seen BO2k (Backorifice 2000) and it is still in development by cDc (cult DeadCow)... seems that it is an open source project too (GPL License)
I bet you have no interest in look (that has been changed, read anonymous' post) the way your homepage looks... come on, black text on blue and black texture? Mac users (I have become one lately) don't care about benchmarks, simply because it is the usability that is in focus. Also most mac users are visual thinkers, since they are designers, and lets face it a lot of numbers in a table don't tell any story to them (and to some account me). I agree that the Jaguar can get slow, but it is probably the filesystem that is somewhat old.
If you are thinking of corruption, Denmark is the second less corrupted country in the Europe (Finland wins again, damn!:)... I believe that is common in other small countries in Europe (seems that density=corruption). I agree that we are corrupted by lobbyism in Bruxelles, but our mentality always fight against it (strong consumer-organisations and local common sense).
Too bad that spin-doctors begin to tear down the strong connection between voters and representatives (we had two cases already this year:0(
ok, I got the point... just trying to get some discussions in this story:0)
I think I have been using Linux From Scratch too much lately (eventhough I jumped over to Gentoo), downloading all those packages from gnu.org *grin* but again, nobody can live without ssh.
I don't even care to convince windows users to switch to Linux or Apple. After trying in the late 90's where nobody cared (I cannot play my game there? begone!) to the latest years were everyone wants to know how it works. I know that open source also involves helping eachother, but I don't really care about people I tried to convince some years ago, and then want me to help them after they screw up their system.
... It's sad... luckily there are forums on gentoo, so I can help those who are really in need and them helping me with those features I haven't played with yet.
you don't get it, do you? Linux = Linus Torvald's kernel, GNU = FSF GNU tools... together they are an OS called GNU/Linux distributed by different teams/companies like Red Hat, Gentoo, Mandrake, SuSE and so on. Linux should never be called GNU/Linux except when it is given to the FSF to maintain (that might happen when Linus dies in a 100-200 years time), then the OS would be GNU/GNU/Linux... oh wait
I applaud the switz way of extended democracy, but it can happen within the European Union as well. Living in Denmark we had several referendums in the 1990's and one coming up soon. Our constituion does not allow changes that is positioned higher than our own (federal), but only simular (corperation) rules. Ignorance is the biggest show-stopper here, eventhough many Danish tend to vote anyway. Because of our small and homogenius countries news-stations pickup stories quite fast, and therefore politicians need to be fast and local rooted too (yes, I know that switzerland has three cultures, but so do my country, it is just not that obvious anymore).

Found this on the Iranian newssite: disturbance filter
I don't understand arabic or iranian (I don't even know what language it is!) so, what is this about? looks like a condom for a LNB.

is it just me, or is Mac OS X learning from the experiences made by KDE and GNOME? the layout sure looks more like KDE 3.1.

because it is so hard to use mplayer for windows media files, quicktime, Divx, AVI, MPEG and so on
*cough* many trailers in quicktime only *cough* Steve Jobs and the film-industry *cough* (I think I have a cold?)
