UK and France BOTH have what US ould call "socialised" health systems (as does Canada)
So basically 99% of what people need is provided free at the point of supply - ie: you dont have to consider the posibility of a ~20k billif your routine op developes complications
I despair sometimes

Communism is an idealized state of human existence, one in which everyone works for the good of all, where little government or control is required because everyone knows and accepts their place. Goes pretty much against the grain, so far as human nature is concerned: perhaps if Mankind were descended from hive-building insects instead of a bunch of crabby tree-swingers it would have been different. Marx wasn't a stupid man, but his theories about economic and governmental systems pretty much ignored everything that makes us (all of us) what we are. The tide of history was against Karl from the beginning. Human beings are not ants.
total misreading of marx I'm afraid.
The reverse is actually true, Marx never made any assumptions about the innate goodness of humanity, quite the reverse (read Communist manifesto for examples)
The idea was that what people do is a reflection of how many resources are available, and when there is sufficiency (not subsistence), then Communism will be possible.
Socialsm was described as the stage needed to get there.
Historically, neither true Communism nor Democracy have ever actually been tried on any significant scale. The United States was defined as a republic by the Founders, not a democracy (apparently even our current President and his staff don't know the difference) and likewise the Soviet Empire was known as a "Communist" state but in reality was another example of totalitarianism at work.
Back at ya - capitalism in its pure form has never been successfully tried, the US is probably closest. All capitalist countries to varying degrees ameliorate the effects of "the market", eg: the welfare state in the UK, anti-trust legislation in the US.

Some of the western poor may well resent the rich, but at least the rich don't go swanning around in luxury saying "Everyone is equal". They know full well that, in practice, people with lots of cash have more power, more influence and more rights than people without any.
no they just claim that everyone could be rich they only worked that bit harder
Same difference

1.The definition is correct. 2. Nothing in the old stalinist block could be reasonably called communist - just because something calls themselves a thing does not mean they are that thing (BTW Stalin executed most of the Bolsheviks after he took power).
Have you ever personally built Gnome 2.x from source tarballs without problems? Have you ever successfully changed the target install directory, so that making a package (tarball, rpm, whatever) is easy?
parent was not not too precise, but the point is true, just not on an individual basis.
to rephrase
The working as a whole would last longer than the employing class (capitalistists - I include sub-contarctors in the former).
The reason being that the capistalist list class, in simplified terms survives and prospers by earning money off invetsments, the value of which is ultimately determined by the labour put into them. The Working/middle class gets its money by doing the work.
Classic,very simplified marxist economics.
and yeah, I know unreconstructed marxist, blah, blah.
So can we please have a stop to the whingers about missing mp3 in RH/Fedora.
This is exactly THE reason why it is not included - ie: even though the patent has not as yet been enforced, it still could be (and mp3 has a lot longer to sue)
And for mods, this is about as on-topic as it gets (YRO etc)
Linux: If you are using a distribution with that comes preconfigured for desktop usage, like Redhat or Suse, then you can go through cups configuration (which probably has a graphical frontend). There have already been stories on slashdot about how hard this is. Even ESR couldn't easily get it to work, and he uses Linux for a living.
I am so tired of this being parroted out as if it were true
Just tested on FC2 using the supplied printconf
Startup up printconf
Click new
Choose windows printer
click on the one in the list you want.
save
Only gotcha is user is not put in, this is a simple thing, edit the queue, type in guest
This is far easier than wrestling with windows
For example we have a jetdirect network printer, 2 mins on my linux box, wont at all on w98, need the driver disk on xp.
The example you quote is quite illuminating about the graet man.
The point being that the race was relevant (ie: most of the tropics region was Africa)
The only other reference I can think of is in "the stars like dust" where a comparison was made between Abel (Black and the Trantorian Ambassador) and the pale natives of the exploited colony planet.
This was in contrast to a general similarity elsewhere.
Slashdot Mirror
isn't he?
Unbelivable
You are obviously someone who thinks their ideology (screaming right loonyism) is more important than the facts
Please look at europe, where the principle has not been an issue for 30-40 years.
Not even Thatcher even brought the subject up
your reasons?

yep about once a week
When did you read it?
Afraid FF have suffered more than mot at the hands of hack writers
To appreciate them you need to read
lee/kirby
John Byrne
and especially any crossver with the X-men during Claremonts reign
so with your respect for the "sanctity of human life", I assume your against judicial murder ala the death penalty then?
