I would recommend a Netgear. I also had these kind of problems. Then I plugged a Netgear Router+FW in, and no problems anymore since then. It is easy to configure and very reliable ! Additionally I have a ZA Software FW also installed. Marius

Of course that is true ! But in this area the customers are willing to pay for it ! I only came up with this because of the initial post that leaves me thinking that people who won't board a plane if their developers wrote the software for it, do not know what the standards for writing security relevant software are.

Exactly ! I think you can by no means compare the development process of "normal" software with the development process of Software where the life of humans could be at stake, if an error occurs. I myself worked for a few years for a company that is a well known supplier for motormanagement systems and Software for Diesel engines in cars. And I can say that beginning with design, coding rules, use of a huge number of predefined and well tested macros (instead using your own stuff), code review by at least 3 persons for every single piece of software you write, testing the software on system simulators, after this, testing the software on real engines, exact documentation of the outcome of testcases, etc... it's a VERY well defined process that minimizes the risk of failures. A process that is lightyears ahead of the processes used in non-critical software. (As far as I have found out till now). Marius

I think so. Because putting all the things together took more time than installing the software on my current machine. ...:confused:... I don't have enough software ? :-) Marius

Cheating Einstein would be better, otherwise the rest of humanity won't have anything from it within their lifespan. (I mean the currently living humanity).

Yes, it's sad that it is this way, because I would really like to see how they reach new planets in a reasonable span of time. A new age would come for humanity if such a breakthrough would occur ! Marius

:confused: Guilt ? Do you really think he feels guilty ?? How can he feel guilty ? For sure he's done it for the love of God ! If he had the ability for guilt in him, he wouldn't have done it ! Marius

But this is kind of disturbing. A women, if she wants to be with her divorced man again, has to marry and sleep with another man before she can get back. (At least it is disturbing from a christian point of view). Where does this law come from ? Is it written in the Quaran or is it a tradition that grew over time ? I would like to know what the basis and above all, what the reason is for doing so ? Do you know it ? What if the women gets pregnant from this "short time husband" ? Please excuse me when I say so, but from my point of view it must be somehow cruel for the woman in first place, but also for the man the women wants to get back to! Marius

Oh, ok. The name sounded somewhat like a Death Metal one. So I thought: On Christmas ? When I'm in that mood I most often listen to Rammstein and/or older Metallica songs. :-) Marius

Hey man, that's been over 2000 years ago. They didn't have birth certificates with the exact date written on them then... So, it's not a (hard) fact. Marius

Not much longer if the christians start to take over either.
That would be a reversion of historical development. Once the Catholic church has already "taken over". And it lasted a long time. I agree, that then, women were treated differently than today. But now we have secular states were Church and State are divided. For sure every religion has its fundamentalists in a very wide sense of the word. But they cannot simply take over without support from the people if they do not want to install dictatorship. In this sense, one could say that every people has the form of Government that belongs to it... But I think you didn't mean the Church taking over, but certain conservative streams that are more or less related to to the church and christian values. They have the traditional role of women in mind, where women don't work in a company but work at home by caring for the children, doing the household, etc... But again, I think that the development of the emancipation of women cannot be undone without their support. (Except by forcing them, but wise men would never do this). I think it is now as it should be. Women can actually choose which role they want to take. And a rather big part of them chooses both, and for some, living this reality is quite a load.

Women's emancipation was never mentioned in the bible, so how can it be anything other than the devil in the works?
... I don't think so ! When talking about the works of certain spirits I think that they act in quite bigger schemes than this! But that would be another thread :-) Marius
