First step isn't to blunder in and migrate - the first step is to work out what's causing the outages etc. use ethereal or some other packet sniffer to establish where the broadcast floods are coming from - use nmap to find insecure hosts - also, investigate what kind of routers are being used, and what rules are being employed.
Basically, OSS/Linux are great, but don't rush in without establishing the issues first.
Who mentioned rape? He was just talking about some complimentary and amicable fellow called Bubba, who was so kind as to say that he had an aesthetically pleasing mouth. Are you insinuating something about people called Bubba?
As the sole maintainer/builder of a sizeable project (trading system), I thoroughly sympathize - patches really aren't a problem - it's when some £$^$%^^%%$ checks in broken code, or forgets to check something in, that you want to go and wring their bloody neck, because you're pissing your sunday away trying to fix the weekly rollup build.
140 quid ten years ago... that's, what - 300 in today's money. Yeah, they were ripping you off. And inflation sucks. Which publisher, by the way? Did a stint at universal on the KR.
Not sure about Germany - it was bloody hard to get a gun license in the UK - I got my explosives license with trivial ease, however - just went to the post office and got the form. Total absence of logic.
No, it's just the British media that have a problem with guns. I shoot, and hunt, and I'm as and can't fucking STAND the bullshit our government lets through. I'm incredibly British in nature, but have lived around the world enough that I understand the dire position Brits allow themselves to be in and I'm ashamed of my government, and my country.
I must confess, in my place in France, I have a gun rack, with a variety of rifles and shotguns, all of which I bought locally, no license, nothing (admittedly in the Dordogne - farmer country) - and I go grousing and the like all the time. In the UK I have to keep my rifle and gun in a locked case in a locked metal walled room with 3 locks, and I'm not allowed to transport them on public transport, or in public view, and am limited on the amount of ammunition I can buy per annum.
Not entirely sure what the restrictions achieve - I could still go down to Brixton or parts of Notting Hill and pick up a handgun from some dodgy rastafarian.
Have you ever even been to Europe? Why assume that all Europeans are socialistic pansies? I'm a brit, I go and watch cuddly little foxes get mauled to death by beagles, and I shoot at the poor little birdies with a 12 bore. Oh, and deer. If you cared to do your research, you'd realise that there's a large chunk of British (and European) population who have absolutely no problem with bearing arms, because there's not really a reason not to. Sure, we have tighter gun control over here (for the most part - go to Kiev and you can pick up Kalashkinovs for about £15 - and then go shoot radioactive boars in the woods!), but it doesn't make all Europeans socialistic pansies. The media over here tends to be just as reactionary as it it can be in the states - did you ever hear about Tony Martin & Brendan Fearon? Interesting case - the left wing, proletariat media villified Tony Martin, and managed to drag public opinion in such a direction that it led to the banning of bloodsports and the like in the country - merely by raising enough bile in people who have nothing better to do with their time than whinge and bitch about things they don't know or understand.
This has turned into more of a rant than I intended. Basically, democracy is inherently flawed - why should people who have no connection to hunting and the like be able to make any kind of a decision on the basis of whether it's right or wrong? Which brings me onto my next point - why are politicians allowed to make decisions that scientists should be making? Why are the public allowed to pressurise governments into banning scientific progress because they disagree with it because they don't understand it?!
Anyway, back to my point. Not all europeans are whining lefty bureaucrats - in fact, the majority aren't - it's just that the whining lefty 'crats always get into government, because unfortunately the proles will do whatever the media tells them to think, and Murdoch enjoys a left wing government, as it promotes further circulation of his 'Banner' (think fountainhead).

I have an IV Caffeine drip, and a catheter. I once 'moved' in order to see whether the big shiny thing in the sky was still there. It was.
Under *YOUR* feet? You, sir are forgetting that those are the LORD GOD'S feet which he allows you to use.
They fabricate data all the time. We should fire them. :)
That's weird - we had the same in London today?! Kinda like caramel, all down the Thames.
Only philosophers who ever really got it right are now long dead. Shame, that.
Gott ist tot.
That was the sound of an allegory flying straight over you at great speed.
What do the guys at fourmilab know about new years eve 2099 that we don't know? Pluto is gone in 2100!
That'll be a Hohmann transfer orbit. Or you could use the Interplanetary Superhighway

Damn. I was expecting something else. Now where's my dealer?

Kind regards,

Because in Britain most things that might be marginally dangerous and/or interesting are banned. Such as cycling on the motorway.
Those bastards.
And then you get the Lawyer's Zombies... LEGAL SECRETARIES!
Pluck the parrots.
Yes, but we're too busy thinking of the children, these days.
Interesting - and maybe it isn't as accidental as it might appear....
Agreed - if they are using hydrogen masers, I presume they don't expect the satellites to have much of a lifetime.

You find a way of fitting a Caesium fountain clock in a smaller case.

I suggest a meme, (hate that word)... start calling "DRM'ed CDs" something else. Say, maybe non-standard-and-playable-only-on-certain-player-t hingies resembling CDs.
Coasters.

Ok, really rant over now.
