Comment Re:No good? (Score -1) 202

Novell 3.1 was mostly a file server. TCP/IP was later introduced for it and then later MySQL and Apache became available on 4.XX. So people were using 3.11 as a network file server only and not for server side applications.

I used to develop tcp/ip NLM modules for novel netware 3.12 and 4.XX and we used to do it using Watcom C. The ide we were using was borland C++ (as a C language editor). I had created batch and shell files which used to compile different versions for Netware 3.12, 4.11 and also SCO Unix, Linux, AIX etc. However extending and maintaining a 300,000 lines of code software was not easy.

You cannot just stop there for 30 years because users may not be comfortable with changes. I have had very big websites (with over 1 million users) and 20%-30% people would become angry whenever an updated version come out. However after a few months everyone would be happy.

Ribbons are a combination of Tabs and Toolbars. Both of them are well accepted. In my opinion ribbons are faster to use (if you get used to them) than deep menu options.

Your wife, your housemate, your coworkers and the person who has stolen your phone did not have access to phone service provider's records.

But they potentially do to your iphone or iTune synced data on your PC.

Scientific output normally refers to cited papers (even though it could be seen wider).

Narrow down to the last year. Also interestingly Iran has the highest growth rate in all countries (11 times he average of the World) and Asia is the future scientific growth region.

There are 400,000 links listed in that google query. If you cannot look at them it is your problem.

From Wikipedia , section on "Translation controversy"

Iranian government sources denied that Ahmadinejad issued any sort of threat. On 20 February 2006, Iran's foreign minister Manouchehr Mottaki told a news conference: "How is it possible to remove a country from the map? He is talking about the regime. We do not recognize legally this regime." [15][16][17]

Shiraz Dossa, a professor of Political Science at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, also believes the text is a mistranslation.[18]

  Ahmadinejad was quoting the Ayatollah Khomeini in the specific speech under discussion: what he said was that "the occupation regime over Jerusalem should vanish from the page of time." No state action is envisaged in this lament; it denotes a spiritual wish, whereas the erroneous translation—"wipe Israel off the map"—suggests a military threat. There is a huge chasm between the correct and the incorrect translations. The notion that Iran can "wipe out" U.S.-backed, nuclear-armed Israel is ludicrous.[19][20][21]

It is not just my opinion that Zionism is extremist, at least several hundred millions of people agree with me.

Could you point to my lies then?

Zionism is a political movement (based on your own references). My opinion is that it is an extremnist movement which has has caused uncountable problems in last 50 years.

For the mistranslation of Ahmadinejad's speech take a look at Google:
