It would be nice to have full automatic computer control, at least on highway. It will greatly increase throughput and allow to spend time during daily commute more productively.
RedHat sells support. And it's a DAMN GOOD support - much better than from MS. We had a problem with IPX/SPX network stack in W2K3 and it took ages to debug and resolve problem.
But when we had a problem with SAMBA on Linux (winbindd did not work well) - it was resolved in little less than an hour with RedHat support.
As for mission-critical apps - usually you can run them under emulation. We have a couple of legacy apps working happily in Xen. And of course, Linux can interoperate quite nicely with Windows, so you can have mixes Windows/Linux environment.
The key difference is that you can't usually crash your airliner if you lose attention for a split second.
A car traveling at 80kph makes 22 meters per second, that's more than the width of the average road. And all you need to die is to lose control for a moment.
Actually, you don't need to register your travel. I'm Russian and I've moved to another country without registering my travel plans. It was also true in USSR - you could travel everywhere inside USSR borders (and outside secret military facilities) without any trouble.
Windows filesystem kernel API (it's called IFS - Installable File Systems) is fairly well documented, and you can get free GPL2 headers for it (http://www.acc.umu.se/~bosse/ntifs.h) or buy IFS kit from Microsoft for about $109 (http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/IFSKit/def ault.mspx). Unfortunately, IFS is a very complex API and there's only ONE good book about it.
You definitely can port FS to Windows using only documented API, but it's a long and tedious process. I'm currently porting FUSE to Windows, so I know it:)
Quantum teleportation allows to create a PERFECT copy of a particle, but the quantum state of the source particle is destroyed as a result. So we sidestep Heisenberg because we do not perform any measurement.
USSR and then Russia had radiolocation bases near US border. Russia removed them as a sign of goodwill. As a "reward" US is building military bases near Russian border.
Neo-nazis in Russia is not a problem - there's not a lot of them and they have ZERO popular support.
"Cyber-war" against Estonia is a joke.
Again, there are LOT of critical articles and books about Putin in Russia. And I don't see mass-murders of journalists. Politkovskaya most probably was killed by Putin's enemies.
Of course, not everything is well in Russia, but you should live here and see that it is NOWHERE close to Soviet time.
This shield is not a threat NOW. But it can be a threat in 15 years - and Putin has to think at such scales. So, Poland and Cezch will now live under the threat of immediate destruction in case of nuclear war.
Actually, Izhevsk Machine Tool Factory (IZHevsky MASHinostroitelny zavod in Russian) IS Izhmash. It is still alive and well.
I know this because my parents live in Izhevsk and work at Izhevsk Mechanical Factory (Izhevsky Mechanichesky Zavod) which makes hunting and sport rifles.

You can solve salesman problem for most of practical means.
There's a lot of heuristic algorithms that give a pretty good approximations for graphs with tens thousands of points. Works well in practice.
There's also a method 3: explode a few of these things - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_bomba on the shores of offending countries.
That way their sea border will move farther from North Pole.
Problem solved!
Just outsource it to Google!

I remember "Deer Hunt" arcade.
Ahh, nostalgia...

Yes, it is not very easy to make Python integration work in Boost.
:)
But Boost developers had to settle on a particular build tool. So I guess it would not be easier for you if they used CMake or SCons
You don't usually need to build anything to use BGL - it's mostly header-only library. It has only two small helper files.
And Boost.Build is muuuuuch more powerful than makefiles. You can try to use Boost.Build v2 in your own projects - it's very very useful.

That's the official reason. If Russia really thought about US as an enemy - then these bases would never have been removed.
How do you determine that people was killed due to a racial hatred? 150 killed is just about the number of colored people killed every year in Moscow.
And considering that immigrants from Asia make a lot of ethnic criminal gangs - it's not a very high number.
At that time Russia had bases in Georgia, Moldavia, Abkhazia, Armenia.
Right now Russia is in process of pulling out of Georgia and Moldavia.
+800C tends to burn away any soot :)
I've worked once as a consultant in a factory with several blast furnaces - the furnaces themselves never needed cleaning.
What "bullshit"?

Nope. The cost of these bases was trivial for a country of Russia's size, even during economic crisis.

And actually, Russia HAD military bases with radiolocators on Cuba and in Vietnam. Russia removed these bases in 90-s:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1784742.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/1964253.stm
So, Russia did some real steps for disarmament. And got US military bases in Europe as a result.

Branching and tagging in SVN are OK, it has O(1) lightweight copy support. Personally, I like current SVN's tag/branching system.
SVN currently doesn't have merge tracking system and atomic renames. SVN developers know about it and it should be fixed RealSoon(TM) now.
