    I'm prety sure this kind of agreement has zero legal value in the U.S. Is it not the very thing that made Ralph Nader a famous person when litigating against a big car company.
      I believe the U.S is even better in protecting consumer that any county in the world.

    You are right about the calmth but I am still right especially about Venezuela and also Cuba. By starving we did not mean being hungry but we did mean dying of hunger like stalin did on purpose with the farmers in the soviet union. http://www.tsunamigeneration.com/infobycountry/cub a.html (UNISEF))even despite a U.S Embargo

  5. Re:Python is SLOW on Core Python Programming · · Score: 1

    Java has a very very fast and advanced virtual machine much much faster than python's. The advantage python has is that a lot of the libraries are implemented in c where java implements most in java itself. A lot of what is already implemented in the operating system java implements it again.That makes also the startup time of java very slow (it is like booting up a new computer). But simply saying java is slower than python is not true at all.

    This kind of exploit is exactly how a lot of spyware gets installed they seem so common on windows that some companies seem to make a good living of them. So there are people that think windows is so unsafe that they are willing to invest money in spyware that tells you more then the windows marketing or the windows fan-boys tell you it is as safe as ... does it .

  7. Re:Whats in it for Microsoft? on Microsoft To Announce Linux Partnership · · Score: 1

    A lot of people in charge of server-rooms are considering m$ lock-in as a problem nowadays. Also on servers I think there will be a trent to operating systems becoming a commodity like you have seen for computers in the p.c. market and windows is not that commodity operating system but linux is. I am sure they see that trent also see for example http://it.slashdot.org/it/06/06/23/1748249.shtml so M$ is just trying to stay alive.

  11. Postgres vs mysql on MySQL CEO Mårten Mickos Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    mysql is more difficult to use then postgresql because of missing features and features that do not work as expected. For example when you try to join views that just works on postgress (and other databases) but mysql can not use its indexes so that the join is not realy feasable time wise . Not having views makes a lot of problems more difficult. The stored procedures are nice but also have some terible rough edges that makes using them very difficult. having to think about what kind of table to use is also not userfriendly and i think it is a source of confusion on features and benchmarks (yes it does support transactions and yes it is fast but not at the same time. inno db is very slow!!! compared to the competition )

    I do not think you need to apologize it is no leftist propaganda to know that the U.S behaved very badly in south America . It supported and helped in power some terrible military regimes it trained people who where in death squads on U.S soil. it had "military advisors " who were present in torture centers leftist Americans like to think it is all bush and abu griap but this shit was happening under democratic presidents as well.

    "The problem is that this guy and his company accepted money from US citizens who were on US soil in exchange for providing a service that is illegal in the US." The problem with that is that I do not think a U.K citizen is supposed to know the U.S. law. And what if it was a U.S police officer that made the bet that kind of police method is illegal in a lot of countries but not in the U.S

    also there are some thing of os-x that you have to learn to appreciate things that you are not used to in windows and therefor do probably not see. little thing I never see mentions. A lot of os-x is just quality and beauty not only the shallow beauty of the gui but the though that has gone into the details. For example today I happened to see ,i forgot were exactly ,a table in windows that you can only select a row when you select the first column that kind of mistake you will never see in os-x

    "When was the last time your XP box crashed? " I find this a very strange Windows xp boxes are becoming very unstable over time especially developers computers. I have seen 2 machines today that came to a crawl when doing nothing much at all and that where 2 totally protected machines with anti spy-ware and virus software. They are probably suffering from dll hell problems. Then consider all the home users that are infected with spy-ware and shit how often do you think they see there computer crash? Saying xp is stable does not make it true at all

    When I think about it again when considering the cost of retirement you must only consider the life expectancy of the group it concerns the pensioners them self, that maybe even less then it was because of the success of medicine in treating hard deceases that happen at middle age man but that is of cause pure speculation ;-).

    "the retirement age has not been raised to keep pace with changes in life-span" That is also a argument we hear over here in Europe but it is a bit of a lie because for pension you have to consider the live-span of the working population. The live-span of the hole population did increase a lot indeed but mostly because of the big reduction of child mortality the live-span of the working population did rise a bit but not that dramatic.
