As A Brit, I can inform you that Mr Blair has lost a lot of respect and credibility for following GWBs lead in this. Now that they are there, people support our armed forces and hope for a succesful and fast resolution to this conflict.
That said, there are a lot of people who think that the whole war is illegal. I'm sure someone else will correct me but doesn't it say in Areicle 2 of the UN charter something like "all other possibilities must be exhausted before turning to armed action" to do these things?Your president and his friends may have no time for the UN. That is his problem. We do.
As for the sub-intelligent insults of the French, I don't know their real reasons for them trying to delay war. Whyever they were doing it, they were trying to delay an illegal war. That is beyond reproach! Anyone who criticises them for saying that weapons inspectors should be given more time is either a warmonger themselve or has not considered the matter properly.
Back to the real topic...
There are basically 2 mobile phone systems in the world. One is in use in Korea and North America. The other is used on earth. It is not limited to France. It is used in the UK and the rest of Europe. Apparently, it is in use in a number of developing countries. As has been said, GSM is quite popular in the surrounding countries.
So this idiots plan is that:-
1. You bomb **** out of the Iraqis
2. You send in your construction companies to start repairing years worth of damage.
3. You send in your Oil companies to 'run' their oil
4. You send in your civilian aministrators rather than legitimate UN ones.
5. You give them an inferior phone system that stops them communicating with their neighbours
Ok those may not all be his immediate idea but that seems to be the plan...
The Micro$oft marketing machine is the most powerful psychological warfare system in the world. It has been called up for the duration but is unfortunately sitting in ships off the coast of Turkey at present.
Previous successes of this unit include...
Panama and the capture of Noriega
Selling sand to the Kuwaiti government to provide barriers on the Iraqi border.
Ice making machines to the Inuit community
Sh1t to pig farmers worldwide
A terabyte is a terabyte 2^40 in all circumstances.
Some HDD manufacturers say 10^12 but that is just so that they can pass off a 0.91 terabyte disc as a 1 terabyte disc.
There are words like kibibyte and all sorts of other stupid ideas. They were invented to confuse things. Even Micro$oft Windows seems to have this one right. I just looked at a PC running it. It said 38,050,996,224 bytes = 35.4 MB. If they can get it right, so can you!
When you get your terabyte disc, make sure you get 1,099,511,627,776 bytes. If you get just 10^12 bytes, they are stealing nearly 93MB of drive space from you!
Sklyarov was arrested for doing reasonable things that could possibly be beneficial towards end users. He was not invading any individuals privacy, destroying any data, or even accessing someone elses computer.
What those executives would be in the dock for are those same charges. They propose to 'get inside' peoples computers, destroy data and spy on individuals.
It is not just in Australia that those things are currently illegal. I am pretty sure that they are against the law in most of Europe as well.
Even if they haven't done those things yet, can't they be charged with some sort of criminal conspiracy?
I don't have a Mac but you cannot install OpenOffice.org onto Linux or Windoze without Java on your system. The good news for M$ users is that it needs Java not the MVM poor copy.
Sun found that more companies would use StarOffice if they charged a bit for it than if it were free
It used to be said about some people that they knew the cost of eveerything and the value of nothing. I think the coroprate types who will only accept something if they can pay for it are morons.
The reason that M$ office is so widely used is that it was forced upon companies by "professional suit wearers" who knew remarkably little about actually using it. I am still carped at by older secretaries for forcing them away from Wordperfect for DOS and into MS Word for Windows. I am told that the productivity of Word is far lower than WP. Pehaps some of them are just annoyed because Windows BSODed again, but DOS didn't do that often...
At least, if SO becomes popular it will mean that I have some idea what the applications I am supposed to support is actually doing. If there is a big enough move away from MS, maybe these managers will start to wonder about their fixation on paying huge sums of money to unresponsive and irresponsible Microsoft.
There have been upgrades to SETI clients. I think that we were told that the last upgrade would run slower because it would do a lot more processing on every unit.
Maybe they could do even more processing?
the scumbags change what we do!
If the terrorists leaders that commited those crimes on 11 September find out that they are the only topic of conversation on the internet, it will make them feel pleased.
Do everything you did before, or they have changed our lives for the worse. Think about music, software, freedom, s*x, movies and anything that makes you happy. There are 6,000 casualties in the WTC. You are not one so make sure that you NEVER give in to the filth that caused them!
Sorry - we are pretty low on BSE now - we have killed them off.
We never had anything called "Hoof and Mouth" disease here sorry. We are still dealing with "Foot and Mouth" disease. Do you mean this?
If we can get the OS in Desktops to be irrelevant, we can stop the suits specifying Micro$oft operating systems.
We can just have computers that work - or is this blasphemy again?

I do not want to liberated to the sort of society that GWB and his rich friends want to run.
I do not want liberated to having the DMCA imposed in me.
I do not want liberated so that anyone on the bus or train next to me could be carrying a firearm.
I do not want to be liberated so that my country no longer has a National Health Service or any other parts of a welfare state.
Go ahead and liberate the people opressed by unelected dictators but don't assume that we want to live in a society like yours afterwards.
He wants a computer based PVR, not TIVO. Happily, TIVO has not copyrighted the concept (yet).
Sounds like you want something small, silent and with one of those nice Hauppage cards - and a really big HDD!
It's a lot more interesting to look at than the space shuttle!
Does that include your hero Dubya's pal Blair?

I wonder if that guy is in Iraq yet...
No representation without taxation!
You don't pay the man, you don't get to complain...

What is a good one to get to replace it? I think they want me to pay for Bastille.

Every day, supersonic aircraft take off in Europe and land in the USA and vice versa. Concorde has been doing this for over 25 years.
A flight in a Mig25 sounds a lot more fun though! Does anyone know of any rich owners of IT comapnies who give lifts?
Isn't this where somebody sticks their head up their own lower digestive tract?
Is that where large groups of blue suited generals get shot at by the indians?
The i only got lost on your side of the Atlantic chum. On this side we have aluminium. It goes with Sodium Ammonium and lots more.

He was legally arrested by the Serbian Police.
They then legally sent him to face the charges.
And in space, 1 kilogramme till weighs one kilogramme. Mass is independent of gravity.
And how many does it have now?
Sorry - we are pretty low on BSE now - we have killed them off.
We never had anything called "Hoof and Mouth" disease here sorry. We are still dealing with "Foot and Mouth" disease. Do you mean this?
They are not really ballistic - just a little cross...
