he people have decided to band together and undercut the telecom companies.Under a capitalist system it is a capitalist initiative . The big telephone companies are just moaning because they can't compete and will lose money.. This is a mainstay of the capitalist system , Things that are not commercially viable have no right to exist. The same can be said for OSS , It is just an extension of capitalism under the current western system . People have seen a chance to make free software for which they can possibly at a later stage make money off from support contracts. It's all just a different business model and it scares the hell out of large corporations .
I have and it's a very nice interface . I just prefer Gmail ( I have had a yahoo account since a few months after they became available.. the original yahoo mail) .
I far prefer Google mail.Perhaps it is that I have become use to the interface . I find it simple to use , it has ample storage , the interface is perfectly useable and takes little effort to learn . The search functionality is also rather good and very useful . "The new Yahoo Mail is far superior to Gmail. Yahoo more closely matches the desktop experience " Though I must ask , Which desktop is he referring to , certainly not mine . " Gmail, by contrast, is quirky and limited. Its only advantage is its massive free storage, which exceeds what most people will ever need." Well I don't find google quirky , everything does what I would expect . That to me is not quirky
Well I have mainly been in and around larger population areas in france so i do admit i could have missed them there.
but that is just france not Europe;) which was my point . Europe has many varied laws dependant ont he country http://www.germany-info.org/relaunch/info/consular _services/customs/firearms.html for example in germany has a great deal of controll (which exempts in certain incidences hunters etc.)
for example of some of the exemptions
General exceptions, in particular to the licence requirement for carrying weapons (Waffen­schein), apply in one's own home, business premises or fenced-in property; a legally acquired and held weapon may be carried in these places, ready to fire, without official authorization. This privilege also applies to the home, business premises or fenced-in property of another person (with their consent). A weapon may also be transported on unavoidable journeys directly relating to the purpose for which it was acquired. One may also fire one's weapon at licensed shooting ranges without a licence of one's own.
Under the general rules of criminal law, one may also fire one's weapon in self-defence, to defend another or if justified by necessity.
necessity in this context basicaly means they are attempting to stab you or shoot you .
In which country can you buy guns in a supermarket...? In Germany you certainly can't , The police may carry guns but they are only allowed to use them if they are shot at first. I haven't been to a French supermarket in a while.. but i certainly would of noticed a gun . You can't buy them in Austrian supermarkets. I didn't see any last time i was Poland (couple of weeks ago) You can't in Spain IIRC you can't get them in Belgium (not sure) Holland does not have them
Perhaps some countries in the Europe allow it , but i know for a fact that a great many have strict gun control and not a relaxed attitude to them .
The only reasons your allowed a gun in most EU nations is for the purposes of hunting , culling and farming (putting animals down ) with some strict controls (and this includes the UK ).
There is also no way of knowing if your going to get hit by a bus next month . So all we can do is take sensible precautions to make sure it doesn't happen .
I had never really tried to open dev in finder (in fact I never actually use this method, bar checking to see if it worked the first time I used OS X . I always use the terminal ) . Everything else seems to work fine though . Seems like a sensible precaution though and there is no real need to open it in a file-manager
Oh I should also add to that You can also create sym-links from the terminal so you can access the folders . for those who don't know how to do that : in the terminal go to the folder you want to create the sym-link and type
I would disagree that the finder sucks . It is a wonderful Luser level file manager.. Would be perfect if the included mouse gestures and a control click/right click arrange files option (which is located in the menu bar). It only really shows you what is required and sensibly hides a lot low level folders( though you can access them with the go command or Terminal) . I do enjoy using Konqueror when I'm using Linux or Solaris , but a lot of the features i find rather redundant . I do however love the tabbed browsing .

Well IIRC if you use one of these music download services you are locked into DRM'd WMA files . You are not locked in to iTunes with an Ipod.. you can use any download site that supports the MP3 format , you can rip your own CDs. Since the iPod/iTunes combination was around first , I believe it would be fair to say that these music services locked out iPod users as opposed to vice-versa .
There is a switch on the machine for setting the brightness so it shouldn't really be that much of a problem. Though the article doesn't cover it , I am assuming that since nintendo do enjoy keeping Battery life high that the new technology will perhaps be a touch more efficient.That (which is a maybe) and the switch should keep things all even on the machines
The terrorists could just as easily drag a hostage into the cockpit and demand the same . At least this way the Crew would have some warning would have some warning .
Forcing advice and views on someone is not something i would want to be party to . Irresponsible parents will be irresponsible parents no matter the law , So why should they care about a silly age rating. The only people who will suffer because of this are good parents , the bad parents wont suffer as they don't care
I would far rather that they froze airlines than killed a lot of people with explosives . That said , a video camera and/or microphone would possibly be a lot more effective .
Because even if they get sued for 1 billion and have to alter their products for the EU nations costing a further 1 billion they would have to be completely insane to give up such a large market to the competitors , never mind the profit loss they would suffer which is well in excess of 2 billion .
Plus if they did remove the product and people still wanted to use it then there would be far less complaints if people just downloaded a pirate version

Well Arsche is arse.. I had never heard Po used for rear end though it may be possible a term children use . My German in this area is currently under par .
American swearing makes me laugh on occasion . Ass in German means Ace . There is a bike shop in the nearest large town to me called ASSMAN . I do believe Ass sounds a lot nicer than Arse (Hard R sound ).. though you need to hear it said with a broad Scottish accent to really appreciate it.But just say Ass to yourself a few times, listen to how soft it sounds (though it does have a nice slither to it).
Bugger has of recent really been deprecated as a swear word,relegated to a mild word for shock mainly "Oh bugger , I left the cooker on", though it does mean anal-sex .
What I do find amusing is people replacing classical curse words with something like "darn" or "heck". They are in essence just as offensive depending on the context , they just don't have the impact:of which swearing is intended to have.
I swear mostly for emphasis (or in the company of friends I just swear as part of the richness of language). I use the words "Bastard " , "fuck","shit " and "cunt "(though I like to save that one for very special occasions; due to it still having a certain shock value that is intrinsic to the word still today) In the company of anyone I know to be particularly sensitive I will switch them to "bar-stool","Funk/fork" "sheet" and "stunt "... which does have a certain humour value . E.G:" You are a funk'ing bar-stool , get to fork ".
I don't consider words like Dam and hell even swearwords really , well since I am not a Christian .
I would like to see some words changed to swear words though.. such as "Scientology/ist" , "fan-boy" and "sheeple".. perhaps also Blogging as it does sound like some odd fetish sex act only discussed in special clubs
"the organization adopted a rotating series of women's names" I always wondered why they give them nice polite names. I think "Hurricane Bastard" or "Hurricane Stalin" would be more appropriate . Just name them after real scum bags...
Well I was talking about Symantec's Norton internet security software in specific.. not just any Anti-virus software.Mainly i was also meaning people Installing the crap on OS X where it certainly is more of a problem .
I like to refer people to competitors products such as the OSS Clam-AV (though IIRC it lacks Real time scanning ) and Grisofts AVG .
