I don't think it was ever about the Nazi's rising from the ashes. Besides which that would be patently impossible. Sometimes govts make laws which display a message or meaning to the populace. In how many countries are prostitution/abortion/euthenasia illegal, though overlooked. The laws indicate the values of the national character.

I think it's great you found a wife who shares your interest in reading slashdot. Well Done!

I originally assumed it was another of those 'gay nigger' posts which used to frequent slashdot. Still not sure though. I love my wife and she is deeply beautiful (also doesn't read slashdot) but that doesn't stop Angelina from being hot.

I also wonder whether it is a natural or artificial steroid. Interestingly, this method has a > 99% effectiveness, as does the pill. The sympto-thermal method also has a >99% effectiveness with no chemicals.

Yeah, I think you're right. I wouldn't pay just to login.

I give guitar lessons and a lot of ideas I have come from youtube. Those I might pay for - the cost would have to be small. The rest I could live without so I think the site would die.

Sure - five years to build a port. Then start on the next for when that port is drowned.

There idiots if they complain about their provacy disappearing while allowing their country to become that with the highest level of CCTV AND THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT STREET VIEW. At the least they are ignorant or hippocrites.

Actually, the'hole thing' was 'swollen out of proportion.' I heard it stemmed from fears the name would become the butt of jokes.

I would probably use an insecure distro so we could hack back in if they do take control. I think also, it might be a good approach to ADD features. Whilst astronauts are disciplined and professional, ghost are less organised. Maybe some games to waste a bit of time and get them onside. Maybe SUSE would be a good choice. Then again, we could make it something that required a high degree of technical proficiency. The ghost are behind the proverbial technological eight ball so maybe a text interface would be best.

Any particular reason you're against Microsoft? They're only trying to make money for their shareholders and nothing stops you from using and developing another OS/App suite/etc...

Unless you live in an increasingly communist dictatorial gov and the OS of choice is open source. It would make me feel a little safer.

I think then that OS X would be like perhaps Nicolas Sarkozy. Linux would be Fidel Castro. Unix would have to be Putin, if only to stnad in opposition to Bush.

Unless you've plugged in your Vista Business Keyboard becaue the apple supplied one was crap. Than it's 'alt.' PS, Why is the basic Vista keyboard SO much better than the basic Apple keyboard? PPS, If you good folk at apple want to produce a really cool keyboard and have me test it in a production environment, please let me know.

I and the staff in my department do it. I work for RealEstateWA (realestatewa.com.au). Because a lot of the info for Real Estate Agents comes in late in the week (Home open times and such) the work is highly compressed, requiring late Tuesdays, Wednesday and often Thursdays (when we publish). To compensate, every second Friday is off for some staff. With a relatively empty office on Tuesdays, I can do a lot of the IT work - updates and such. It is a brilliant way to work and I look forward to the day when the boss realises how good it is for the business - that we are not simply bumminig around during that time.
