I only heard of Virginia as the literary person in Bertolt Brecht's "Life of Galileo", to my mind a most relevant drama. She does not get half the credit she apparently gets in this book. But then, Brecht was macho. In the drama, Galileo spoils her marriage to a wealthy man by clinging to his ideas. After that she devotes her life to the church.

However, when these benchmarks come out, and say that Linux beat NT, they are automatically heralded as The Truth. Now, I really do like the fact that Linux has been 'vindicated', but what guarantees do we have that these tests were any less biased than the ones that said NT won?
The publisher of c't, Heise-Verlag, sells besides c't, a magazine dealing with applications and desktop software but also more general IT issues, iX, a magazine rather addressing the network administrator. Both magazines express a quite unbiased attitude, where c't naturally focuses on software that runs on MS and Apple. I was surprised to see the benchmarks published in c't and not in iX as they address the server rather than the desktop issue. At the same time I'd say I'd have been surprised if they would manipulate their results in favour of Linux, or to design the benchmarks in order to favour Linux. It would not make much sense with respect to their comsumer base.

This is a very interesting observation, as it implies that criminality is a clearly defined entity, and road speeding does not belong there.
I personally think that speeding by car is a dangerous thing to do, and greatly undercontrolled or -fined.
However, I would not condone a network of cameras that is capable of big brothering to mend that ill.
