    Don't you ever get sick of prefabricated truths? If you'd bother to read a little more, the workers were doing a little better at that time than before. The working conditions got better and better over time ...
    Marx has exaggerated a little bit in his books, for a reason. As you can imagine, you got it right!
    I know you are learning in your schools to be better communists than we used to do, back here in the mother's russia areal of influence (yes, capitals omitted). Go on, do this to the western world, and I promise I'll try no more to emigrate there.

    Have you ever been under a communist regime? You have no idea what you are talking about. China is *evil*. It's not about its people, but about their internal and external politics. China is seeking to modify its history and present to match the view of the big chief. And it's using in this process the internet, too. -- Note: My real name is not McCarthy

    How do you plan this? doing a communist revolution?

    The british in the 30s never trully believed that Germany is re-arming. If the french and british would strike when the germans teared off the terms of their agreement, WW2 would be now just a past possibility.

    It may be just fine to be prepared, don't you think? I mean: I trust more the US that China (no offense, but they are still commies)- I really *KNOW* what communism means.

    Sadly, the cristianism has inside the germs of its own distruction. Being pacifist is just being plain blind in the realities of this word.
    I wouldn't expect from someone that lived through the hell Argentina was some time ago (hey! we all read Ernesto Sabato .... that's a man with a VERY vertical posture - if I may say so) to have another opinion... but think a little.

    Murder is never nice. But is justifiable: by religion, wealth, etc. Justice isn't for all, but for the powerfull. Fair trials cannot exist: a murder is judged by winning people, who always adhere so some ideatic system. An muslim terorist is judged by a cristian law / roman law system, not by the laws that created him as a person.

    No matter what, you still cannot love everybody; since we compete for the same resources, eventually we'll have a war to settle it down.

    The legitimate reason for it is the lack of education and the fact that people will buy something if the package is nice ... While for the normal products the majority of the people have learned this lesson, this is a relatively new field...

    As for karmas, I prefere my real one and not the ./ assigned. I do not care too much. Yes, my ./K it's small and yes, I do not love communism and the European marxist ideas, their control over the free market, I like the already old US style (bah- they have been infiltrated too - most of their universities are marxist - pozitive discrimination really sucks) and in the same time I believe that US is demonized these days.

    It's funny to think, but there may be after all a connection between marxism and the way we perceive open source. However, I try to believe that open source is only done with passion and that people are not driven by some high ideals.

    Just don't get me wrong: I do not love MS, but I do not hate it.

    Sounds like you have nothing to do. Use their time to kill some of your frustation: become involved in some open source or read some philosophy (this can be a lot more rewarding then managing a network)

    First, if you do not know how to handle you connectivity problems, ask your admin.
    Second, HTTP never improved the connection speed or reliability. It's just a fatty protocol, adopted because it is sooooo widely used.
    Third, your remark about C makes me repeat some things already written in this thread, so I'll be a good boy and stop here.

    Just a piece of advice: if you do not need special security measures, forget about WebDAV and use svnserve, it's much faster (you can ask the admin to build a VPN or something). But if you do, ask the admin to do a NAT or port masq & use webDAV.
    My personal opinion: I love svn, it's quite easy to configure/use and it never failed me ..... but, yes, I'm using it on *NIX.

    I do not agree. Yes, it's true, Russia is desperate, but this may put some money in their pockets to continue with their current programs, and I do not see what's wrong with that.
    If they made this offer, they have the means to do it, I bet on this.

    IMHO, to say that "The EU has no manned program, but good space technology", this is plain wrong. Just remember the Mars Express/Beagle story. If it weren't for the US, no Mars geological data would be available today .... As for the deep pockets, they are too busy to spend the money into their state-sustained economies.
