On Suse, you can use the CDROM or the included floppy as a boot disk and
access your systems
Once back in to your system, YAST lets you can even rebuilt your LILO and
even make a rescue disk afterward
Maybe there is something similar in red hat

It has been having problems all weekend.
Do you have some kind of inside information telling you that the problem
is with the OS? Last time this happened it was a script kiddie's DDoS
attack.

Government investment in infrastructure is one thing--it helps those

Government subsidization of self-destructive behavior (welfare)

Are you saying that you are unable to negotiate a reasonable wage?
or that you are too stupid to walk away from a job that doesn't
pay you fairly?
Are you working at minimum wage right now?
if not, why not?

Wrong....the CIVILIAN POPULATION is in disarray.
The bigwigs in government, on the other hand, has managed to consolidate
even more power than before...what used to be "state property" is now
firmly in the hands of "The Oligarchs", who just happen to ALL be
party insiders.
Why have they produced over 5,000 T-90 tanks in the last 5 years?
Why, when they "downsized" their army, did they not get rid of *ANY*
majors or above? Simple...because that way, they would keep the
organizational structure of EVERY battalion intact.
So, for two years, they had a 'paper army'. Normal promotions
from lieutenant to captain filled all of the company commander
spots, and new draftees have filled in all of the lieutenant and
enlisted positions.
Back in the 1970's, one of their philosophical leaders (can't remember
who) said, "We will feign weakness at the time of our greatest
strength).

...except they're more style than substance. While this might work
when you're already on top, I think it would be less well tolerated
from a company trying to come up from the bottom.
Other companies do a much better job of replicating
"the windows experience". That's all there is to it.

Like any other market, this one has issues of supply and

We are hardly typical in any respect relative to the

Be very careful anytime a Russian describes another Russian of
being a "mafia" type....ESPECIALLY if the speaker is above the
age of 40 -- these people all grew up in a system where ANYBODY
who ran a business well enough to show a significant profit was
thrown in jail as a criminal!
Back in the early 1990's, there was a construction company which
charged (by local standards) outrageous prices for construction work,
BUT, they did it PRECISELY to specification, AND ON TIME.
Many Russians were running around asking, "What *right* does he have
to charge that much money?" (You see the blatant assumption that for
merely submiting high bids made him a criminal, regardless of the
quality nor timeliness of his firm's work.)

Have you been there?
Have you talked with the people?
If Russia is truly in such economic disarray, then how come every time
I go there, I can look outside my hotel window, and see TWO DOZEN
construction cranes in operation? And as I walk down ANY street,
I come upon a MAJOR renovation(*) of some building within 5 minutes?
(*) complete gutting of the building--all interior walls AND FLOOR
removed, leaving only the outside facade...so that the interior is
COMPLETELY rebuilt.
You all talk as if Russia is some 3rd world backwater like Cambodia
or Mozambique. In fact, there is a hell of a lot of money and power
there...it's just all withheld from "the people" and VERY securely
kept within a handful of party powerbrokers.

Socialism is great... as long as EVERYONE is a robot who does exactly
as told, and has not an iota of self concern.
The problem is, EVERYBODY is greedy, and, in pursuing their self
interests, each individual person throws a handful of sand into
the gears.
No wonder the socialist countries all have such high unemployment rates.
Look here in the US. When Reagan threw off a large part of the yoke
of socialism, our unemployment rate plummetted. In Michigan, when
Governor Engler decimated the socialist system (abolishing all state
aid for ALL able-bodied adults, the unemployment rate dropped to less
than 1%. The economy in Michigan is so good, that the fast food joints
are offering $8.50 and hour PLUS BENEFITS to ALL employees. The only
people in Michigan crying for the return of the socialist programs are
the unemployed case workers who used to shuffle around in the offices,
collecting their checks for all of their stifling busywork.)

Wrong! It's my sign to all onlookers that you are a complete MORON

Digital Research did EXACTLY THAT...offering their product for
significantly
less than Microsoft (about 3/5 the price of an MS-DOS license)
However, due to MS's structuring of the contracts, OEM's were forced
to charge $55 MORE for a DR-DOS machine, rather than $40 less had
MS not rigged the game AGAINST CONSUMER CHOICE!
Also, MS also put FALSE ERROR MESSAGES in Windows to make consumers
*believe* that DR-DOS was not functioning properly, when, in fact,
DR-DOS was fully 100% compatible with MS-DOS.
This is OBSTRUCTION OF TRADE and it is *ILLEGAL*, bozo!
