Well, Britain took part in the Invasion of Japan as well (though I suppose that's lost in today's history films and books) so I woulda thought there'd be pictures about the Pacific in there too.
STFU. This isn't funny, in the slightest, you have to be a real sick puppy to try laugh about people giving their lives for you, yes, YOU, so simply shut up if you have nothing good to say.
Just so everyone knows, the website: (http://www.evidenceincamera.co.uk/) has not been slashdotted, it isn't online yet, I went there about 3 days ago and it was the exact same.
No one had better tanks than the Germans. The British ones were continually evolving, and Britain was always used to crushing opponents in the sea, and later the air. The Tiger Tanks were the best around, period, until the end of the war. Even the American Sherman Tanks were far inferior, and could only launch a successful assault in huge numbers which came over from Britain in their hundreds every day, they simply didn't have the armour or offensive weapons aboard.
The combined air forces of Britain and France was about half that of the Germans. Hell, when the Germans occupied France they had 4 times the planes that Britain had, however, British planes were far superior with that of the Spitfires.
The French folded becauseo of their weak goverment. They simply gave up, but they could easily have fought on for months. The French gave up while there was still British ships in French waters, British troops in France, and British planes in their skies.
The ships had to get out, fast, with no warning. The men had to escape to the beaches (Dunkirk) where they were showered down with bullets from the attacking Luftwaffe, hoping to be rescued (they eventually were, but no thanks to the French) and the planes had to hear that the Luftwaffe were minutes away and they better steer their planes towards the English coast, regardless or fuel, or they're dead.
The French didn't even think of Britain, which meant Britain left over half of its' fighting power in France on the day German tanks rolled across the country-side.
Simple put, the French folded and didn't even think of the British who were there fighting for France, which meant a weaker Britain, which meant a weak Europe.

The collaboration of Apache software experts Ken Coar and Rich Bowen, Covering Apache 2.0 & 1.3, Apache Cookbook is a "user friendly" guide and comprehensive reference to the most widely used web server in the world. Offering common problems and solutions; step-by-step walk-throughs; discussion problems; sample codes; worked-out solutions; instructions for tasks such as installing the server or managing a proxy server, and so much more, Apache Cookbook is a "must-have" instructional reference for anyone charged with the responsibility of setting up or maintaining an Apache based web server.
Has there ever been an open source program as successful as the Apache web server? If we leave aside the various p2p freeware for music sharing, then perhaps none. Certainly, if we restrict our survey to web servers, Apache is head and shoulders above its peers. It is currently in its second major revision, 2.0, and is very stable and mature.
This book gives you a good grounding in both installing and running it, even if you have never run a website before. Those of you who used earlier versions may recall various installation shell scripts. At one point, these only ran on unix platforms. But this book makes clear in the first chapter that this is no longer true. An installation wizard gives you an easy walkthrough. Plus you can now install it on Microsoft Windows.
So given that Apache is free, shouldn't you already be using it? If you have only static content, or dynamic content that is restricted to the traditional cgi or the newer perl or PHP, then the book's sections on those show full functionality.
Remember too the other advantage cited in the book. Apache is extensible. So if you have a simple need that can be met by tweaking the existing source, you can do it yourself, instead of asking a vendor and waiting [and paying]. Plus, if Apache itself has a bug that you cannot fix, you know there will be many developers on the net who will do this, and quickly, because so many of us depend on Apache.
What are you waiting for?
The only caveat is when you should NOT use Apache [and this book]. Naturally, the book does not go into this, so let me help you. If you will be using EJBs, Java Server Pages or transactions, then this is higher level logic that, as far as I know, Apache does not currently handle. Instead, you should opt for J2EE web servers provided by jBoss, Sun, IBM, BEA or Oracle. Likewise if you have.NET/C# dynamic content. I am not sure that Apache can handle these yet, so you should stick with Microsoft's server
Partly because it will be my 10 year anniversary of using GNU/Linux... but practically, too.
I can't really put my finger on just why that year sticks out, but it does. I suspect that it will take a year+ for 2.6 to mature/be accepted to the point where most major distros are shipping it and most howtos are being written for it. I also suspect that both GNOME and KDE will reach another major version by 2006 (haven't checked their road maps... just hoping.) I also hope that device support will continue to grow as it has, configuration tools will mature more, and the "your mama" test will be more easily passed. I doubt all that will happen in the next twelve months.
As for what I think COULD happen? I think a major U.S. gov't agency could start putting GNU/Linux into major use. I think we will see a lot more adoption abroad. Maybe even a first world national government promoting it in some way. I understand GNU/Linux desktop usage will top Mac desktop usage (was a/. article on that before.. that or linuxworld.com)...
Now I'm just rambling. This made very little sense. sorry. It is 2:30 AM EST... I'm going to bed.
2004 will be a year when many corporations, especially those who will try to adapt Linux as a primary desktop platform, will recognize Gentoo for several reasons:
Please, explain to me why.
* Portage gives a corporate IT the most fine-grained dependency control protecting the consistency of installations within upgrades;
I don't agree with this one. Corporations that "roll their own" packages have the same advantage. Movifying SRPMS can acheive the same effect.
* Gentoo makes possible to compile everything from sources on a reference hardware, adapting by that to the last bit of any available performance optimization, and then distribute the compiled binares to compatible hardware cross the enterprise (using GRP for fresh installations and just shared/usr/portage/packages for already installed systems);
Normally I would respond to this one saying that most people who use CFLAGS to optimize binaries actually hurt themselves, but corporations would have people that actually know how to use them best (i.e. -Os over -O3 or even -O2). However, I don't think that this is really an issue for corporations.
* Gentoo (mostly thanks to Portage) represents really the next generation design of Linux distro;
How so, specifically? There is something to be said for having a dedicated box to building binaries for the whole infrastructure, but the idea that Gentoo can do this and no other distro can is rather ignorant.
Gentoo is a really cool distribution (no joke), but I fail to see any technical advantages it has over other distributions. It's real strengths are in how it brings a lot of advanced administration techniques down to the level of an intermediate-level user. Plus the forums are cool, and portage is really well maintained.
Trust me on this one, though, there's no actual technical superiority over other distributions.
By the way, can you do reverse dependency checking yet? Like uninstalling gtk, and having every app that builds against gtk also unistall? I'm not "knocking" it if it can't (this isn't too important to corporations anyways), I'm just curious. Sick of gentoo zealots throwing plugs in completely unrelated topics? Me too!
Well done to Microsoft, they're showing greater care to their clients, better than some Linux companies are doing at the moment. One thing Microsoft does offer you is good, free support, and when Linux ('Free OS') is charging for their product, and then updates and support are costly, it isn't a way to make friends.
