Star TREK Geeks methinks ;P

Hm, Cisco and Sun are happily doing the same thing yet the title screams "Microsoft is evil" ? :suss: Anyway, I assume those companies develop specific solutions for China ? Say, SQL Server and it's tools to analyze the web usage and report suspicious behaviour ? (Or even to track subversives)

It appears that a lot of CP'ians are trying to access that page :) But do tell me, is it the one where the intended victim takes the spammer on a Lovecraftian goose (or is that shoggoth?) chase ?

It not so much the "discovery" that is important but the historical value. Few historians really care about who was actually first but most are very interested in proof that a given civilization was able to travel the seas the 'discover' America (or are ready to refute any such claims :) )

Spitfire & Lancaster Bomber are my favorites but I'm also a big fan of the Stuka divebomber.

Standing ovation, flowers et al :) Very nice work:)

Just a matter of realising that there according to the leader of a nation armed to the teeth there are only two options. Follow their lead or die. If you are not with him all the way, you are the Enemy (even if that Enemy is your enemy as well but you happen to have a different opinion about defeating him)

I find it quite usefull so make that 4 :)

Is that the one with Major Problems ?

General Failure ?

If somebody would give me a dime for each time any person sets some rule and later violates it I would be living on the Bahamas by now :) Seriously, it's not as if every service is in violation of that principle. "A small number" is suitably vague, I agree, but you make it sound as if they explicitly and frequently violated their own policy.

What exactly is your problem ?
