I saw a programme on DW-TV a few months ago on this subject. Why has Estonia made
such progress while its neighbours are still languishing in the soviet era?
The reason of such a profound change in Estonia is because of
one main reason- change of guard. Young people control the majority of Estonia's
power. Be it politics, architecture, medicine..you name it. The older generation has handed over a lot of the responsibilities.
The prime minister himself is 35 years old. All the members of his cabinet
are younger to him.
What is so special about young people? They carry no baggage. They want more economic progress and they will do whatever is needed to achieve that. Politicans/businesspeople/engineers work towards a common goal i.e economic progress. Nobody cares a damn about communist crap.
One of Estonia's youngest politicians was asked this week to be the country's
new prime minister. 35-year old, Juhan Parts - who was 24 when he started in
politics - was chosen by the victorious Res Publica party after recent elections
in the Baltic state. Described as 'boyish and brainy', Parts belongs to a
tradition of young leaders in top positions within Estonia's government. The
country's first prime minister after independence was Mart Laar who was 32 years
old when sworn in.
Here is a related article about
young people in Estonia.
Leaders elsewhere in the struggling economies of Europe could learn something from Estonia.
Why do you think Honda, Toyota and Nissan are eating up the US car marketshare every year? Most of the vehicles they sell in the US is made in the US. The reason? They don't have unions unlike the UAW that controls Detroit.
Do you remember the strike that took place 9-10 months back? The port workers held the west coast economy at ransom with their strike. When container handling technology make Singapore and Hong Kong ports the top in efficieny, do you think it is hard to apply the same technology in the US? Who is stopping this? Unions. Why should 50-60 million Americans suffer just because of those port workers. They increase the cost of stuff you buy because of all that labour involved.
My question is that why does'nt slashdot have a section for rejected articles. I am of the opinion that alteast 20-40 % of the stories that people would like to read are rejected.
Would it be so much trouble? Disable comments on rejected articles(of course) and maybe just keep them for 30 days. No need to archive them(if space is a constraint). Avoid dupes in the rejected stories(and accepted ones too). Quite a few slashdotters would like that. Want public opinion on that? Put it in the next poll.
Another question- In the "Customize Slashdot's Display", why can we choose only 17 topics/authors to exclude? Do you plan to increase this in the future or keep it for subscribers?
I am not in the US right now but I used to live there earlier. As far as I know, Amazon does not ship to foreign locations. Could you explain how it works for you?
Is it possible to order from amazon for people living outside the US?
From April 24,03 to June 4,03 I posted the spams I received at my hotmail box.If your interested, take a look -spam. Most of them come from Microsoft SMTPSVC.
I clicked on the "Whats New" on cw.net and then did a double take when I saw "New Jobs are Available". Then I noticed that the last time they updated that section was June 11 2000.
My ISP uses a Cisco router and the OS of that router is something starting with I**.
I am not that conversant with routers/firewalls and such. "is in fact utterly annoying and less powerful than ipchains (let alone iptables, or ipfw for that matter)). " -- I didn't get what you meant there. Sorry.
"That you have an a non routable private IP for your home connection". I don't understand that part too. I do have a permanent ip -something like 203.192.xxx.xxx.
When you mean 10.x.x.x , 192.168.x.x or 172.16.x.x, you mean literally or figuratively?
Also, I should mention that when I try to play CS that are on lower ports(eg- 81.3.3.141 port- 1337) then I am able to play without any problems(with my cable internet connection). Even port 21 works fine. But the problem is that in Counter Strike, 98 % of the game servers are in the 27*** port range. And this is frustrating.
My ISP is www.in2cable.com - This ISP is a cable internet exclusive provider.
If you need more information, I'll link to my journal or website - http://slashdot.org/~abhisarda/journal/35371
I've got an cable internet connection and my isp is a bastard. == For the past 1 month I have been trying to play Counter Strike on my cable internet connection. I can filter and update the servers. But I cannot log onto any game servers.
When I try to connect to a game server, it tries to connect 4 times, and then disconnnects. This problem is with all servers in the range 27*** port.
Now, I tried Counter Strike on my dialup connection(56k). It works just fine. Its connects to any game server I want and gives no problems.
I told them(my ISP) that if can play with a dialup without any problems, I should be able to play on my cable internet connection too but they haven't been able to solve the problem. I checked with my ISP and they are not blocking any ports in the 27*** range.
I removed my modem and uninstalled the modem software. I disabled the dialup modem in all profiles. It is still not working.
Below are the ports my ISP is blocking-
ip access-list extended kaza deny tcp any any eq 6699 time-range no-kaza deny tcp any eq 6699 any time-range no-kaza deny tcp any eq 1214 any time-range no-kaza deny tcp any any eq 1214 time-range no-kaza deny tcp any eq 4662 any time-range no-kaza deny tcp any any eq 4662 time-range no-kaza permit ip any any access-list permit any access-list deny udp any eq 1434 any access-list deny udp any eq netbios-ns any access-list deny tcp any eq 445 any access-list permit ip any any access-list deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any access-list deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any access-list deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any access-list deny udp any any eq netbios-ns access-list permit ip 203.192.0.0 0.0.255.255 any access-list permit ip any any access-list deny ip 192.168.0.0 0.0.255.255 any access-list deny ip 172.16.0.0 0.15.255.255 any access-list deny ip 10.0.0.0 0.255.255.255 any//**access-list deny udp any any range 7000 7006*//-My ISP removed upd ports 6000-8000 from the blocked list after my request. access-list deny udp any any range 7008 7069 access-list deny udp any any range 7071 7647 access-list deny udp any any range 7650 7777 access-list deny udp any any range 7779 7999 access-list deny udp any eq 1434 any access-list permit ip any any

Llyods1, Truth about Lloyds.
Explains why I get daily spam about toner, but none at all for booze!.
Sending booze by mail across state lines is not legal in many places.Secure computing is our focus-
we are as insecure as hell can be.
automatic windowsupdate-
we don't need anymore embarassments.
US legal system-
we gotta check which pocket it is in.
We are optimistic about china-
Bill will not be alive to see MS china turn a profit.
aids program africa-
You will be given 60 million $. 40 million will come
back to the US in inflated drug profits.
windows eula-
you've handed your ass to us on a gold plate.
xbox-
we gotta blow that 40 billion somewhere ya know.
pocket pc -
Its just happy to see you.
WindowsME-
We got that one done by monkeys. The ones who rivalled
Shakespeare. Our real engineers were trying to figure out
if their muffins were y2k compliant.
Microsoft Test Labs-
Have you rebooted your toaster today?
Hotmail-
We haven't gotten to the bottom yet. But we're getting there
Outlook Express-
Your gateway to the wonderful world of viruses.
Clippy-
The result of years of hard research at our lame labs.
Apple-
Our *real* research labs.
Unions are like communist, marxist shit.
Why do you think Honda, Toyota and Nissan are eating up the US car marketshare every year? Most of the vehicles they sell in the US is made in the US. The reason? They don't have unions unlike the UAW that controls Detroit.

Read the main topic-Linux on PC's. I was *not* mentioning anything about Ipaq's or handhelds. It is the parent post that is off topic.
HP has already been selling Compaq desktops with Linux since Oct 2002.
This always, always holds true when you host such a big lan party.
All you cache are now belong to us.
That patent's already taken. Too late.
SCO has the rights to that one.
at this link. Check his mathematical lego sculptures. It was covered in a slashdot article too.
It fills me with an urge to defile a golf course.
The golf course needs all the nutrients you can supply it.this will remain a pipe dream
Fee! Fie! Sco! Scum!
I smell the blood of a SCO-lishman.
Be he 'live, or be he dead,
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.
Take a look at this article

You would rather spend 5 minutes dissing about Nytimes when you could spend 30 seconds putting in an arbitrary name and email address. No.
If some site requires registration, then you have to boycott it. That's your fundamental right. Right?
If you want to stay anonymous, then why dont you write posts as an Anonymous Coward?
You can't have have the cake and eat it too. Applying double standards to yourself is self-defeating.
