GNU != Linux You could write GNU software that works only on the Vic 20. It is not because you claim in the comments that you are releasing the code to the world that it becomes Linux code.
As for the vbs scripts in question get real, it works only on winblows and even if you were stupid enough to fix them to run on the Linux basic you still couldn't do shit on Linux for at least one of these four reasons
1-As a user you have little to no access to dangerous area 2-You don't have a stupid registry à la winblows 3-Scripts can't run unless you set them as executable 4-Basic is not installed on Linux unless you're moron enough to find it and install it yourself.
And is very very buggy. Despite all this I prefer it to winblows. Those who think that you can't crash Linux are having wet dreams. Those who don't use KDE are not having those dreams but are quite realists.
Three cases in point that you could try and you will have to agree with me. I'm not sure if it's a feature (bug) in the kernel or KDE but here :
1-With gcombust you burn fake burning a CD You then close the application and try ejecting the CD out of the drive. You will soon find out that a reboot (which takes a long time) is you only way out of using all of the swears you can remember. Platform used is a PC with a K6-2 555Mhz with 128M of RAM and 132MB of Swap.
2-Hook up your LP player to a preamplifier which is connected to the sound card line input. Record 3-6 songs using the memory. You can save songs each time after a recording, results won't vary much. Now it feels like your swap drive is a floppy or some remote location running at 110 baud or less. The PC is technically frozen with a reset as your only option. On reboot you may have to run fsck depending how lucky you got. Platform used : Cyrix 200Mhz with 40M of ram and 132MB of swap.
3-You start in KDE (works just as good in GNOME) Swith to another console with ctrl-F2. You then go back to KDE with ctrl-F7 while making sure that you quickly move your fingers to the mouse and move the mouse before the KDE desktop is fully rebuilt. Mouse support is gone and there seems to be a deadly crash. But no, the ctrl backspace still works and seems to be the only way back to sanity aside from switching back to the console and giving bunch of kills. It seems platform independant and works well on most of those I've tried.
The bottom line is that GUI is bloated no matter where you go. I sure can find many more cases to get winblows to crash but no one can say with a straight face that KDE is not bloated or not buggy. As to why it brings the system down with it is baffling considering that I've yet to get it to crash when I don't use the GUI.
Your sense of smell must have got a hit on the last skunk that you hit with the car.
What you must understand is that if criminals were not stupid they would never get caught.
One case in point : One of my brothers was in a store being robbed. He got stabbed with a fishing knife (real sharp). The thief got hot and took his mask while facing the TV camera directly. There is no way anyone could have linked the crime to him if he hadn't done that.
In this case in particular you must realize that there are two clues to stupidity 1-Basic was used 2-The platform was winblows.
If you'd ever drive in the suburbs of Paris (MI) you'd come to realize that the more of these animals eliminated the more people you'd protect. In European countries drunk drivers are the most dangerous on the roads while here in America deers are. I've been very lucky so far having only hit scunks and birds but I know people who have hit many, as many as ten in the past few years. The stupid animals should know better but they are too stupid. The best thing is for them to become food for the hungry. Here we have ways to take care of the free meat found on the highways : in French and In English.
After defeating the town of Beziers, near the Mediterranean coast, the French army is faced with how to tell which inhabitants are "dammed heretics", and which are "good Christians". Simon IV of Montfort comes up with his infamous solution: "Kill them all, for the Lord will know his own."
Prohibition has never worked so what's your point? What we are left is just making it prohibitive for you to smoke. If you are dumb enough to still buy it I don't have any problem with you paying the bulk of the taxes. As for drugs they kill faster than nicotines. We rarely seen someone killing to buy cigarettes while it is true of those buying crack. Perhaps we should legalize cocaine and other stupid drugs which would then cut off the drug trade as it did with booze. There will always be those who abuse the substance whether or not we ban them. As for your illogical fear of the government of this country, you should get off the glue and wake to reality. This is a free country and the government tries it's best to work for the people. It doesn't always succeed but this it tries. There is no way they can satisfy everyone but so far we are much better off then we were during the republican recession years.
For you to mix the two subject is ridiculous. The prosecution of Microsoft has started in the days of the Reagan administration and it's not liberal against big company but the reprentatives of the population against a company who wants to own and control everything. This is against the American Way, that American dream where everybody is entitled to that wet dream of making it big. Some succeed, some don't.
Trying to be funny? You obviously don't know much about US politics and religions. Here we have one of the worst fundy in the country becoming a lobbyist of Microsoft. It looks to me that Microsoft got manure as brain to hire one of the most hated jackasses in the USA. It just proves to us that much like Robertson, Foolwell and other fundies Microsoft is indeed a danger to those freedoms that we cherish is this country.
Considering that most people aren't fundies this is one of the most stupid moves Microsoft has ever done.
Now we can honestly put Microsoft in the same groups of morons as we do with fundies or commies.

Actually I find the internationalisation better on Mandrake. I do have both distributions as well as Caldera and Corel. I was quite impressed with Mandrake's internationalisation which I think is the very best of all the distributions. It was rather easy to setup my Joual version of Netscape under Mandrake while it was somewhat more complicated under SuSE 6.3.
On the console SuSE is king as far as support for updates with yast. On Mandrake, Caldera, Corel or Redhat this leaves to be desired. It basically sucks big time. On the other hand Mandrake is quite interesting when you change hardware. Take these two cases as an example. 1- At work I couldn't install any decent distribution of Linux except Slackware. Having only 1 week to do a project I don't have much time to screw around with Slackware. The reason is the HD Controller is a promise UltarDMA66 and I didn't want to mess around with the connectors. I compressed the whole installation of Mandrake and burned it on a CD at home. I then booted on Slackware and decompressed Mandrake on a new partition that I stole from winblows. I setup lilo and rebooted on Mandrake. The boot up script noticed the changes in hardware and prompt me to do the proper changes. It did eveything OK except bombed on trying to setup X with the TNT card. I continued on anyway and used XF86Setup which worked correctly. 2-I just bought a Voodoo 3 for $100 at Staples. On winblows It crashed when I removed the old driver (before I shutdown to changed the card). 3 reboots later the card was setup. When I booted on Mandrake I was prompted that some hardware was changed and the setup went smoothly and the new card was setup. I then typed startx and had a beautiful new X.
It wasn't quite as easy on Caldera and SuSE. It looks like Mandrake is unbeatable on that. I gave up on Corel for now.
OS/2 crashed and I couldn't find any way to get it to boot so I removed the partition to make more room for Caldera Linux. A sad day but it had to come to that at one time or another considering that IBM has abandoned the Joe Blow market on OS/2.
When we look at the printer support I have no great love for Mandrake where I can't get either my printer here or at work to work correctly. I have an Epson Stylus 660 at home and Canon BJC200ex at work. The printer works beautifully with SuSE 6.3. I could never get it to work with Slackware which I had no choice but to remove. Replacing it with Mandrake seems to have been a good choice for the rest, as for the printer support I don't understand why it screws up. The raw mode works but that's it.
As far as I can see this thing crawls big time if you have both the browser and the mail program opened. Perhaps you have one of those very fast video card but with SVirge with 4M of RAM the old netscape flies compared to this one.
It crashed under SuSE 6.3 I got it to load under Mandrake 7.0 but the more windows I open, the slower it gets.
I think I'll load the Mozilla stuff to see if there are improvements.
So far I think it's pretty but as for speed it sucks big time.
You obviously have never use Linux to make sure ridiculous comments. I work all day with winblows and when I work at home it's Linux and is indeed the dream environment. It's fast and doesn't crash. If you want IDE graphic there is Gnome and KDE development. Check Caldera's KDE version someday and you will have quite a surprise. Also once the new XWindow is out most distributions will also have great looking graphic that will exceed winblows in quality.
So what is your point? The laws against murder, theft, rapes were passed in previous centuries as well. It is not because a law was passed long ago that it would have no value.
The thing to remember about the Sherman Anti-Trust law is that it is there to keep one big company from controlling a market like Standard Oil AT&T and Microsoft have done.

HA!HA!HA! Are you for real? They aren't likely to provide drivers for Linux and even if they do why the heck would you want to install them? Just remap the keys and you get 18 new function keys. I think this is a great gift form AOL much like those diskettes they used to send us regularly.

It's always been like that in the TV industry. They're just extending their grip on the internet. The idea is that each market has their turf and they are not about to let go. Take the satellite TV for example. For those of us who want to get French TV we can either get one station with Dish for $12.95 or over a dozen on the gray market for about $10, doing what the Canadians do to get US TV. And the station that is offered is boring as hell. I asked Dish and they said the FCC doesn't allow them to provide the service from ExpressVu. ExpressVu is their Canadian company which is partly owned by Bell. Now that I can't get Channel 25 I'm pissed! Anyone know a back door to get the station? bbcat

The republicans don't like McCain so he's not going to be nominated.
As for Gore, unless Bush wakes up and tells the fundies to go back to their cages, Al Gore will win in a lanslide and with a nice democratic congress and senate.
If for some mysterious reasons Bush would manage to win, republican asses will get kicked out of the congress to force a check and balance to keep the president in line.
The best way is for the government to pay the debt and then think about cutting taxes. Cutting taxes while we're in debt over our heads will trigger another Reagan style deficit to jack up the dept higher yet and force some more tax increases down the line.
Those republicans sucking up to us with big promises of tax cuts are opportunists assholes. They talk about a simple tax, most likely replaced by a tax like the TPS in the Great white north or like European TVA to clean up our wallets.

If you look at who are asking for the internet taxes, for the most part republican governors. Sales tax doesn't affect big earners much but we in the middle are getting screwed big time.
You may not care about how much other countries pay compared to us but you should realize that we got it good. Having worked for a few years in a high tax country I know how little tax we pay here.

In theory Canada and the US are different countries, that's for the masses.
In practice it's not that clear.
Moving to BC might help Microsoft open their
market in China by providing a better Chinese
version of Winblows.
As for getting away from our laws, think again.
Free trade makes it that it's almost irrelevant
whether you're based in the US or Canada.
On the other hand a foreign company violating US
laws could have their products banned. Free trade
doesn't shield you from persecution for crimes.
It is also relatively easy for Canada or the US to
have criminals extradited for trial.
That would be amusing though to see the new
BC flag with the union jack replaced with
