No, you don't.
You get either shoddy goverments with pressure groups with *extreme* power.
More power than the big parties, actually.
Or you get the consent of the two sides to try and live together, which mean
that there *isn't* an opposition.
Right now the opposition here is about 10% of the parliment, and that is
because they *represent* the other side.
Beside, right now there is:
A> Extreme right.
B> Mild-extreme right.
C> Right.
D> Mild Right.
E> right wing Center
And that is *it*.

No one said it isn't workable.
We've used it for 51 years, (25 of them the left had control, 15 the right
had control, sometimes in coalition with the left. The last 10 years we have
been alternating the goverment every election. Right, Left, Right, Left,
Right.)
I'm pointing out at its weaknesses.

In regards to the "amighty god" remark, do you:
1. Have sex for pleasure?
2. Use condoms and/or other forms of contriception whilst having sex?
If you have said yes to any of the above, you are going straight to hell.
If you are going to talk the talk, walk the walk. Pick up the bible and
read it before splurting shit onto this news group you ignorant slob. I've
studied Christrianity and religion for 7 years, and if you are going to post
comments dictating how people should live their lives, maybe I should visit
your house and your work and see whether you make the grade.
Whether someone is Gay/Straight/Trangender/Drag Queen, is not an issue for
me. I have more important issues in my life than worrying about what other
people do in their lives. When I make friendships with people I don't bring
the issue of sexual orientation into question. Maybe you, Flatfish, should
get some experience in the real world before making brash comments on issues
you have no experience.

I believe the arguement revolves around the fact that the web author
is no longer in complete control over how their web content is viewed.
One cannot merely avoid this issue by "not buying it" because it is
the site visitors and not the site owner who will need to "not buy
it".

And Microsoft. And anyone who can convince you to use their plugin (or,
presumably, can create a visual basic virus to install their plugin).
Read the WSJ article.
I can see it now. Every page that has the word "Macintosh" gets an
automatic link to "macssuck.com" supplied by Microsoft. Every page that
has "linux" gets a link to the American Cancer Society or
'nooneuseslinux.com', thanks to Microsoft.
The only one controlling the links on a page should be the author.
Period.

They have 5.4 billion shares outstanding. If you wanted to buy them all it
would cost about 400 billion. You wouldn't get them at that price though.
You'd most likely have to offer way more, especially for Bill's 14%.

I just wish more software was released on DVD, if they are Multi CDs

I updated my CD-Rom to a DVD, I could see the speed difference. I just

Serious gamers are only around the same amount as serious "techies", around
1%-2% of the computer population. Most people I know, that are really into
games have either a Sony Playstation (version 1 or 2) or a Nintendo, reason:
1. the games can be hired out of the store, 2. if they go to a mates house,
they can bring it around and hook it up to the television, 3. games are
easier to obtain, 4. easier to set up, 5. most people have the stereo next
to the television, thus, they can also get awsome sound at no extra cost.

If you grabbed, say, Redhat Linux, installed VistaSource office, or
StarOffice, it would suite most office needs. Most offices donot make,
databases on a regular basis, and if they do, it will be hosted on a server,
and access is via a custom written front end. Drawing and html manipulation
is almost never used. Project management, same situation, almost never
used. Most of the office tasks are presentations (to show proposals), word
processing and spreadsheet. In terms of web browsing, there is a government
policy in New Zealand that doesnot allow people in the internal government
network to access websites, hence, the only interaction with the internet is
via email, thus reducing security risks. The NZ Army, has a stand alone
computer to access the internet, thus, the main network is not conected to
the net.

Yes, they can.
And they can do *already*, in any pluginable browser, are you aware of it?

Exactly what I have done except I now use Debian Linux on my sparc at work.
Before that I used xfce on solaris as cde is just a hog. I then started
using gnome/sawfish at home and built then on solaris. The only problem
I've ever had with gnome is that it sometimes doesn't save a session
properly. Since I rarely want this it doesn't bother me.
Debian Linux on an Ultra-10 really flies. I need to run 2 X servers,
one 24bpp and the other 8bpp, as a couple of X apps that will only
run on an 8bpp display (XFree doesn't support overlays yet). On the
desktop Linux on sparc beats solaris by a long way IMHO.
