Our houses are far from our places of work. The only solution to this is either tearing down and rebuilding cities, which isn't likely,
I disagree. I think it is likely (sort of). When I got a new job I decided to move close to where I work. Specifically so I can cycle to work.
As time goes on, and as oil prices increase more Americans will do the same.
or setting up decent public transit which hasn't been very successful.
In Europe they are successfull. Given time and demand, there will be more public transport, and more people will use it.
No worries.
Can some mods please mod up my post?
I've managed to donate via the american red cross
so It's possible for UK citizens to donate money.
No-one is telling us Brits this though...
One thing I find really weird is that there haven't been any adverts here in the UK asking us to help donate? Does anyone know why??
I looked on the British red cross page, and they have suggested donating money to the american red cross directly. Still no-one here is telling the population how to donate money. You have to find out for yourself.
Can we have some sort of publicity drive or something?
I've just moved into a new place, and the first thing I did was order cable (telewest).
Of course I needed a nice connection to the internet, so I got that as well.
I didn't know what I had to do to get cable to work under linux, (I had a speedtouch USB ADSL modem in my previous place).
So I thought I would just check that my connection would be dhcp based....nice & easy.
Me: Is the IP & network info set via DHCP?
Woman: errrr....let me just check.....
Woman:We only do static IP addresses for business customers
Me: Never mind...
1) They don't accept debit cards & thats all I have.
2) They don't charge in . I'm sure my bank will charge me extra, for converting to a foreign currency.
Tell then I'm stuck with normal wine & half-life....well thats not too bad;)
Not strickly true.

We've removed Saddam hussien from power, and we are going to replace him with......
1)Democracy?
No - too unstable, and the countries becoming more unstable.
2)A civil war?
No - This would lead to an emergence of another dictator (one so ruthles he could beat the cruft out of the other factions)
3)Another friendly dictator?
No - wouldn't look too good, besides he may turn out to be Saddam Hussein Mk II
4)A group of dictators, dressing them up an a council?
Yes - We can avoid all the uglyness of making it look like we invaded with no real plan, stop a civil war, and make sure the public can't single out 1 dictator we've imposed on people.
Simply put,
Gentoo didn't own the machine, there are lots of "rsync" servers that people use (like web sites, but used for downloading files only).
Because the people who run gentoo don't own the server, they aren't responsible for it.
All this leaves me with a very uncomfortable feeling. I have some websites running on linux servers (not mine) from rackspace providers. Should I be worried ?
No! Gentoo is really a desktop OS. Your websites will not be affected.
In fact from the sounds of things no one will of been affected, just the 1 server.

Thats not stricktly true.
The UK police have been quite successfull in stopping a few events.
1)Downing civil airliners with portable SAM launchers
2)Gas attack on underground
3)Confiscated 1/2 ton of fertilizer bomb
Now I can encrypt all of my personal messages. I just hope no one works out a way to decrypt them ;)
Of course games dont cause violence. Man do I want to kill those people who think it does....
Good. Now can we guarantee that we can dissent in the uk?
