IMHO, this CIA story is made up.
The author of this story takes advantage of the fact that SO MANY people don't know software (and more specificaly FIRMWARE) is tightly architecture dependent : a iPod firmware will definitively never work on my Riovolt, as an example!
...And building a missile in my garage does not mean I will be able to run on it the software part I stole at Lockheed Martin while I was an intern!!:o)
Obviously, the important points to resolve are:
-1/ Was stolen software precompiled, or was its sources that were stolen?
-2/ Were computers in US and Russia based on the same processors and architecture at that time (1982)?
-3/ Even if sources was stolen, can we assume that this software was compatible with EVERY hardware parts (valves, pumps, pressure sensors, wire network, and certainly lots more) present in Russia?
IMHO, answers are:
-1/ we'll never know,
-2/ have no clue,
-3/ CERTAINLY NOT.
What's the point? To provide biological warfare to allied despots, in order to frighten population (like Kurds?):

PARIS 9.00 AM.
Today a Ph.D. student announced that he had discovered a technic to bypass new 'e-mail control' features in Microsoft's Office 2003. The student described in a published whitepaper how he found out that the 'email control' protection is circumvented when pressing a single key on the keyboard.
Later in the morning, Microsoft announced that thanks to DMCA the exact position of the key on the keyboard will remain unpublished, and the protection is still safe to use. Nevertheless, a patch is scheduled for early 2004...
Notably missing are more day-to-day useful operations such as the creation and deletion of lots of files, parallel action on many open files,
lots of files in a directory, etc.
Exactly! Such as when i untar mozilla sources, and it nearly freeze my system!:o)
Indeed It would be very interesting to see the results of the microsoft fs supported by linux (fat32, ntfs), as well as more exotic ones (BSD, Netfs, minix, etc).
Despite other bad-documented replies, you're right that a.config would be helpful to know which modules can't be build.
And.config doesn't depend on what your configuration is, but on what you want to have compiled.
lol!! "Foreign" means that it can recrute foreigners and its primary mission are abroad, but there're lots of French in it!
Dumbass!
Today is your lucky day, you'll learn something:
Read this:
http://www.frenchforeignlegion.org/
Be happy, you won't have to practice foreign language to read it! Redneck!
FYI, lots of "american" soldiers in Irak were strangers who signed in because they were promised immigrant cards and/or study fundings!!
This single widget really make me say that you talk about things you don't know much about, but just repeating Bush's BS:
http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/environment/energy/ bush_6-11.html
Are you from Bush's PR staff?;o)
Read the official proposal here:
http://unfccc.int/resource/convkp.html
And you may learn things, such as the fact that the main aim of Kyoto protocol is to return to 1990 level of C02 in the atmosphere. But maybe you're thinking 1990 is WAYYY too old!! There wasn't even XFiles on TV!
The unrealistic expectation is to think that US, which produce ~25% of CO2 on earth, would accept to show the way. Anyway, I thought that Bush wanted to "lead the world to a better day": http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2002/10/20 021007-8.html But maybe I'm just to naive??
Anyway, I would like to thank the US gov to make soo many countries around the world look soo good politically, year after year :

and so on...
so on...
so o......
I'm French, so i can discuss about it. I think that not all decisions here are based on altruism, BUT there are obvious reasons that make me say "We were right in this case". An advice I can offer you is : "Stop reading US media about US actions of US politics around the world". Coz your media and politics are deeply connected and share the same goals. So try to get alternative points of view and you should surely notice US government is acting wrong with its external (and maybe internal - but that's not my business) unilateral decisions.
and here is my little US bashing : Why Bush didn't sign Kyoto protocol about greehouse effect gazes? Was it because of Ben Laden, or rather Hussein?
And what do you do when you buy a new VCR? You ask to have it "just for the evening"? And so on with every product one can buy!
Benchmarks and reviews are important and cheating IS BAD.
Anyway, doping in sport must be ok then? Well we all know sportmen are cheating, thus what's the worth with those damn rules!;o)
Cheating rulez! Truth suxx!

"[...]one-quarter of a pound per square inch[...]"
Can't smart people from NASA use standart units, like kilogram, meters and weird stuff like that??
It's called I.S. too: International System of units!
Too late! All those elements are already patented by "Earth, Wind & Fire"! ;o)
Anyway, isn't it possible to make bash compile as a Win32 CLI executable?

I think they certainly feel richer!:o) Richer than the anonymous scientists working on cancer cure, without Army fundings.
But it seems like they haven't a cure for your "shit-in-place-of-the-brain" disease. Sorry.

Rumsfeld's business with Irak: http://www.xs4all.nl/~stgvisie/VISIE/Rumsfeld/ Is it about freedom?

I've already read this piece of news here (in French), with a statement from an eu deputy:
http://linuxfr.org/2003/06/26/13053.html
Could you please arguments on why Gecko is dead or KHTML rules? I have never heard this statement before. Thanks.
