LAMP - Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP. It works. It is fast. It is clever and understandable.
And if you want to get the same functionality from Windows server... Good luck! You will need it. They split everything and sell it piece by piece. Before long your company is the filial of the MS. And it is so obfuscating, just to hide why it was done so.
Windows is very good in creating and controlling "drivers' hell". Try to issue the Linux driver for the hardware, which you produce, and see what happens. They are very good at it, and that is why they control the desktop.
Ohere nice soft - Firefox, phpMyAdmin, Google - run on Linux all right too.
You are right, bread costs 40 cents. The same bread costs not less than $2.5 (at least where I am at the moment, not in America). For $1.29 it is something like kruosan. Forget about lines.
I was talking about farmers' markets. The best apples at Ukraine cost $0.35 (2 UAH) per 1 kg, here it is $2, 6 times difference. The best potato $0.2 at Ukraine (1 UAH).
The price of electricity and apartment rent is less at Ukraine about 100 times I guess. Some people, who are out of money, do not pay for rent and electricity at all.
Maybe I was doing well there too, that is why I am nostalgic, but I did not see anything better at the West.
Just everything is over-regulated, over-bureaucratized, hostile. But I am going home in some months.
I am not saying that everything is bad here, but not good to the degree how they try to teach everybody with the high nose.
Now when the price of oil at last becomes reallistic, things get beter at Ukraine. One of my relatives, the old man, got his pension increased 2 times recently. Though Ukraine is not oil producing country, it earns too from transportation and refining.
I've met this figure in a serious publication that about half a billion people speak Russian natively. I was also surprised by this figure. There are a lot of native Russian speakers, say, in Israel, Canada, etc. The FSU should be only about third of billion by now.
I think the Western mass culture market is strictly regulated and carefully guarded. That is why the market is hand-fed by the items fitting into the ideological dogma. The FSU mostly left this problem behind.
The richness of the culture is defined by its ability to accept, not deny.
As for "beggers" I would again not agree. I have to live now at the West for a while. And I see that the West is poor, and the FSU is rich. Somehow the virtual reality was created to show that the West is rich. It is not. It is the greatest propagandistic scam of all time. It is very convincing. But the "high" salary is nothing after one pays 1200 rent, 100 each day for food, 500 medical insurance, etc.
Yes, it is possible to make an OS like in China. But it will have to include the zillion of obfuscating hardware drivers to work on modern computers.
And these drivers are kept out of public domain and work only with one OS. All others have to scan the ports to try to figure out how this piece of hardware works more or less. If the producer of the hardware makes the driver available for other OSs, it may stop working well with time on the main one.
As for mass culture market - this market is regulated. And it is due to this strict regulation that nice work from other cultures does not make it there.
I brought in the price of food, because in this article it is written that the average salary in Russia is $240. This implies that it is very poor country.
It is $240 after exchanging from roubles.
I work now in the richest country in the world by the statistical yearly monetary income. I understood by now that it is not the richest country, but it is the poorest country in the world.
The income is very high, but the costs of everything is just crazy. Bills are coming almost every day by snail mail like you would not believe. I would be better of in Russia with times smaller income than in this "richest country".
As for the Imperial system invented in your parts - the similar systems were everywhere else. People used to measure distances in steps, feets, elbows, arrow flights, stones, etc. After the French Revolution metric system became the standard in Eurasia. Still the US industry pushes the archaic Imperial system into everything - aircrafts, chips, bikes, etc. When it mixes with the metric system, it becomes the real mess. They lost the sattelite near Mars because of it. Part of the engine was calculated in pounds, part in kilograms. The large system can get messy enough even without using 2 measurement systems.
It is ot Russia's fault that the computing became the global monopoly via the system of obfuscating drivers and cryptic OSs.
It is very difficult to produce a program similar to Photoshop-$600, not because of the scientific chalange, but because everything was done to make it as complicated as possible.
One more remark - I was born and lived in Russia for several decades. Now I live in the West. The food costs in Russia about 10 - 15 times cheaper than at the West. 240 USD is like 2000 USD in the West.
I could go to the farmers' market in Russia and buy superb fresh potatos, apples, etc. for 20 bucks so much that I could hardly carry it out. Here I spend 100 just for two small paper bags in the supermarket and it is basically nothing to eat.
In the world which becomes smaller and smaller there should be some standards. Unfortunately, the US standards, based on the anti-scientific Imperial system of measurments, is taking hold world-wide. Instead of the metric system we are to use the technological systems, which are build using feets, inches, miles, yards, stones, ounces, etc. This stuff just can not work in the modern systems. This is the reason of crashing sattelites, unsupported hardware, "unexpected" computers shutdowns, etc.
And it is not Russia's fault. Russia uses the metric system.
As for music - there is a lot of modern nice Russian music too. If at Russia one can hear on the radio French, German, English, Brasilian, etc. music, in the West it is only its own music on the radio. The foreign music is just not allowed. I do not know how it works, maybe via some secret organisations of "Skull and bones", which do exist, as we learned during this US presidential campaign. But it is the fact, one can never hear the song from Russia here. Never. Even though in the FSU it is the hit among half a billion people.
Why shall buy Western music and films, if the West is not even interested in our culture?
I have lived in Russia for 42 years, and now I work in the West.
I had in big Russian city the Internet via the TV cable, which is not availabale here in the Western city yet. So I have to use ADSL. Not bad too.
Certainly, there are small towns and vilages in Russia where dial up is the only option.
But what I mean is that it is simply not true that there is no broad band in Russia.
I heard that the mass software often includes the back doors known only to the producer. Like the receipe of Coca Cola is known only to the company president.
Could not it be that this chaos with spyware is profitable to hide the inbuilt spyware? Like the "chaos" on the US sounthern border is profitable to the US economy by providing rightless workers?
Would not it better to have the environment of several basic OSs, which does not have some fancy blinkers, but which could be looked through and customized by small vendors?
I would rather work with the plain text and simple image viewer, than having 50 MB of My Documents pumped to some unknown person, what exactly happend to me once. But unfortunately the hardware is being tied to software by obfuscating drivers. And again this "chaos" is profitable to some individuals. I would even say not only profitable, but it is the corner stone.
Download from www.pacifica.org the MP3 the interview with the former translator, who worked for the US state agencies. She says that the translation practice is bad. Just download and listen to what real people, who work the system, say.
Indeed if the system is so nice, why 9/11 could happen?
I guess it is similar to Regan's Star War technology; - to mislead people in believing that they can control everything, to reduce the usage of telephony and e mail.

What programming language and IDE they used to write Picasa2? Anyone know or can tell from the software look?
I think there is more to it. I listen to the local news on the local FM radio in English.
I never heard any song but in English. Not a single one.
OK. Not Russian, if it looks like a treason for "Skull and bones". But there are nice songs in Italian, French, etc.
By the way I saw the similar thing at Russia too. It is called "Russkoe Radio" - "Russian Radio". Nothing but songs in Russian.
It smells of xenophobia, doesn't it?

After implementing the strict policy by taking users's rights on XP some software stopped working.
IT was trying for hours to make it work, but basically the years of labor and experience were lost.
So IT said: "OK. It does not work. Everybody is happy."
I heard that the mass software often includes the back doors known only to the producer. Like the receipe of Coca Cola is known only to the company president.
Could not it be that this chaos with spyware is profitable to hide the inbuilt spyware? Like the "chaos" on the US sounthern border is profitable to the US economy by providing rightless workers?
