The network becomes an important part of the world infrastructure.
More and more applications work via a browser. The fact that the world depends on whims of an obscure programmer or a businessman becomes ridiculous and dangerous.
Millions of hours of working time are lost on workarounds of the browser bugs.
Something should be done on this. I think it is a high time for the UN conference on "browser wars". There should be international enforceable guidelines on browser development.
For all I know this IE8 team leader may be an instable man who plays games with billions people's working time.
And we just have to accept whatever he offers.
It looks especially dangerous when one thinks of browsers and simultaneously of the OS and drivers' lock up.
The western leaders organize this campaign to discredit the efficient and dynamic Russian leadership.
This is done to return the days when a petty bribe could be given to an drunk weak official and get an access to the oil and gas fields, or mineral mines worth trillions and trillions.
The west is very good at organizing such campaigns. They can make the Truth from a thin air. These graphs are one more confirmation.
The current western leaders need to get the oil and minerals prices back to the area of 10 bucks. Putin however does not sell cheap. He does not need their petty bribes. The Russian companies use the resources themselves not, and if sell them on the international markets, then do it properly. Not via western middlemen.
That drives them crazy. And they use all available intellectual potential for the smear campaign. That is what this graph.
Oh, oh. They started laying ground to nuking someone.
I listened on the www.democracynow.org that Bush is the member of a religious group, which believes that soon there will be an Armageddon on Earth.
That at least 2 billion people will be killed and there will be rivers of blood.
But after that there will be the Heaven on Earth. They believe that all this is in bible. The leader of this group travels around the world with 3.6 meters high cross.
Realistically it can be done only with nukes. Gosh! They are starting it.
It is not people. It is always a person. Probably low paid, living in a bad neighborhood.
Not an abstract government employee, but the real world person.
I do not know about Russia. I live in Ukraine for a while. No problem with a downloaded Linux. With pirated Windows - there is a problem. The same about Photoshop. But no problem with GIMP. They sort of know about it. That it is free.
I can't get it. We have got in Former Soviet Union tons of the Western agencies and NGOs supporting democracy development. They've got luxury offices, cars with drivers, expats in smart suits lurking around.
What? They could not bring a suitcase with some Home editions?
That is what I thought. Laundering money and tax evasions.
You will be proud and alone there at ARPANET, BITNET, CSNET, USENET.
And people of good will all over the world will be using the Internet WWW.
Not an obscure militaristic ARPANET, but HTML and hyper links, which was invented at international Geneva, PHP, which guys from Israel came out with, MySQL from Sweden and Ukraine.
What you did for the Internet? ASP, which does not even really work?
And I was replying to this post: they can go make their own internet.
this one's ours.
There is the Chinese proverb: "Every speech loses if there is no modesty in it". I agree with you that the US made a great input into the network development. I know it probably better than you.
However replying not to you, but to the one who divides Internet of "ours" and "theirs", I could mention that as the perfect flowers grow on a mixture of a dirt and manure, the same way, the elegant, multilingual, unbounded Internet grew on the narrow-minded militaristic program.
What is also interesting, - the computer, on which the HTML and hyper links were invented remains in Geneva. It was the property of CERN and it will stay there. Sort of it belongs to people of Geneva.
By the way, Jean Calvin, introduced the compulsory education in Geneva still in 1536. Everything has got it roots in history.
What would the Internet be without hyper links or HTML? A goffer? Usenet? An obscure defense program among a zillion others. We would not know of it.
It was not by a chance that the HTML, WWW hyper links, etc. were invented in Geneva.
Geneva is the international city. More than a half of population of la Republique en canton Geneve are foreigners.
Geneva has a centuries long tradition to give a refuge to those in need of it. First to protestants, then to French revolutionaries. Even the founder of the Soviet empire, Vladimir Lenin, lived in Geneva for years.
If you want to understand the phenomena of Internet try to understand Geneva first.
It is really international, accepting, forgiving, peaceful, rich, neutral city-republic.
Internet is not abut the USA, Pentagon, militarism, it is about peace, equality, acceptance, international harmony, Geneva.
Computers could send signals from one another at many places and countries still in 50s and 60s.
A telegraph could send signals.
It is not your Internet. It is because people of the World temporarily gave one of yours NGOs the task to look after the DNS system. Since this NGO was eager to do this job add seemed to be qualified.
I do not think it would be that easy to do. Say, one could record the whole Internet on a terrabyte hard drive, smuggle it into the country, unload on a proxy and have it inside the great firewall. Or a WiFi channel over the border.
I mean the total control of information flow over the border could be expensive, but a terrabyte HD is cheap. WiFi or similar router is also cheap. Cheap wins.
I trust neither the governments of Russia, China, Iran, not the USA.
The USA is known to listen to all the international calls to / from its territory. What makes us sure that they will not listen to all VoIP calls?
I know well the mentality of the government people. They do not care of us, they do not care of our security. The friend of Tony Blair, the former UK PM, was the mastermind behind the Herbalife spam scam. He helped Tony Blair in another scam too? - to buy 2 apartments, almost legally, but times cheaper. So the government is the spam.
The US administration hijacked the values of democracy and freedom for the benefit of the US oil companies. Just like Napoleon hijacked the ideals of French revolution to conquer the whole Europe at his time.
Internet should be designed in such a way that the users have got the control. We. Not "kind", "wise", "caring", "honest", "noble" government officials, who in reality care only of themselves. Why shouldn't they?
I like GIMP http://www.gimp.org/ and use it a lot. My work requires treating several hundred photos per day.
GIMP adds to a photo some magic. No other soft does it to my knowledge.
Thank you guys. Thank you Spencer Kimball and Peter Mattis. Thank you Jernej Simoni for Windows installer http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html
They had never said before that it will be installed in a new place. Only after the mass civil conflict they hastily changed their mind. It is true. First they told of re installment on BBC after the night when the whole Tallinn center was destroyed.
In fact the whole story was a provocation. Estonia now is a defunct irresponsible state, which can not maintain normal relations with its neighbors. Surviving on prepaid theatrical hysterics.
60000 Baltic Red Riflemen installed the communism in Russia in the first place http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latvian_Riflemen . Hundreds of thousands of Russian , Ukrainian, Chechen, Kazakh, etc. peasants were murdered.
They were led by the Polish citizen Felix Dzerzhinskiy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felix_Dzerzhinskiy , the father of KGB.
And after installing this "s*%t" in our country, they yet have the impudence of blaming Russians of their problems.
* Automatic notification that something has been picked up on the cameras that is 'suspicious'. Perhaps you could receive text messages?
Then what? Go in and get hurt?
Can you write more on this? I make a lot of photos of goods for Internet shop (thousands). I have two long fluorescent lamps above the macro-table. I tried the white umbrella with the flash, but it is worse that with these two lamps.

Law enforcement guys and hackers may join forces in fleecing the public.
Imagine what can be done if the law is combined with the information from PCs?
It is scary even to think of it. Perhaps I should switch to Linux after all.

I guess a scattergun can shot down this drone.

GIMP is simply great. GIMP is an elegant inspiring software. Why should it be always compared with a pile of features?
My point: I work with GIMP daily. I like it. And, yes, I detest Photoshop. Just no need to tell me tat it is better.
I do not know about Russia. I live in Ukraine for a while. No problem with a downloaded Linux. With pirated Windows - there is a problem. The same about Photoshop. But no problem with GIMP. They sort of know about it. That it is free.
There is an excellent Linux distribution in Russia. It costs peanuts http://www.asplinux.ru/

Live us our international WWW, use your ARPANET, BITNET, CSNET, USENET. Good luck you there.

If they could they would control it, but the point is that the digital information is not easy to control, if possible at all.
That is why we are learning of prison abuses via the digital photos, of presidents' extramarital love affairs, etc.
Can they control music MP3? They try hard, but in reality it is not possible.
Are you from Switzerland? The Internet was invented at the international scientific center CERN near Geneva, Switzerland.

If you had to handle 200 - 300 photos per day you would appreciate the UI of GIMP.

Make connected audio system in all rooms, including bathrooms. This way you can listen to podcasts while doing something in house.
Maybe I should use several usual lamps?
