    When was the last time you saw a Jew do that over a holocaust cartoon?

    I've seen elderly person in wheelchair being dragged to court for something he was suspected in doing 50 years ago. Does that count?

    Really? Try telling this to US.

    I am not brainwashed American. My understanding of liberties and freedoms is way ahead of current US American "freedom" stuff. I never said that some bullies abuse their international powers to impose own laws in Cuba, Afghanistan, Pakistan or Africa.

    The first is the rights of a country to limit internet access in line with their own laws

    Country also doesn't have the right to dictate own laws to companies in other countries. Pakistanis asked for good will gesture. Twitter refused as it would violate rights stated in their country laws.

    Nowhere on the CouchDB home page [apache.org] is reliability even mentioned.

    If Microsoft says that Windows server is the most reliable piece of software, will you believe it?

    Reliability is not marketing material. If you don't have it, you have reports in your issue tracker.

    mayor point isn't that he's failed to keep a monopolitic position, but rather that he has failed at all to capitalise on it.

    Microsoft tried to capitalize on monopolistic position. They ended up in court.

    The one exception so far is MSE

    There are two more exceptions. Microsoft Antivirus and snake oil. Both offer no real protection for your PC. Not sure MSE offers more. AV can't be lightweight without taking shortcuts in security checks.

    Russians are cranking out MiGs for less than $60 mil flyaway and the SU27 was even cheaper last i checked, something like 35 mil.

    MIG-31 is interceptor and SU-27 is superiority fighter. MiG-27 is a bit cheaper than SU27. It would be strange, if someone tried to sell lightweight fighter for higher price than same generation heavy fighter. Russians are selling upgraded versions of MiG-29 and SU-27. MiG-31 sales are limited.

    Then train drivers to actually stop for that signal?

    Similar training is already included in traffic rules. Drivers are supposed to stop when pedestrian crosses the road in crossroads and other designated places. It does not stop drivers from not stopping and trying to outrun pedestrian. Cars are more dangerous to pedestrians than pedestrians to cars. That's why cars should warn about their approach and not pedestrians.

Download redistributable SP1 version with firewall on, disconnect your PC from network, turn off firewalls and install SP1.
