The majority of those condemnations only came after the Government pointed out Muslims leaders were not doing enough to condone it. If you think there are those that carry out the attacks and those that are dead against it, and that's it, nothing in bwtween, then you are sorely mistaken. It's not that Black & White.

Clearly you think the law should be rewritten to presume guilt until proof of innocence where Muslims are concerned.

Typical Liberal response. Make out the person said something they didn't and then argue about it.

When the IRA was active did you complain that all Catholics were terrorists? When The Red Brigade was blowing up people on a regular basis did you call for a ban on Italians (given that they were already all Mafioso anyway)? What about the Angry Brigade? Does that mean all Brits think bombing's great? Perhaps we should all be deported to lessen the threat?

So I said most (admittadley I should have said many) but you make out I said all. See my point above about changing what was said.

I once read that once you get more than 10% muslim population your country is screwed, I am yet to see anything that disproves that!

If you can name me a country that isn't screwed whatever its Muslim population then I might give some credence to this utterly ludicrous nonsense. In many of the most seriously screwed countries such as Zimbabwe or Haiti there's hardly a Muslim in sight. Your correlation fails!

What I said was if your country HAS 10%+ muslim then you are screwed.

What I did NOT say was that if your country is screwed you have 10%+ mulsims.

I return the challenge - name me a country with > 10% muslim population that you do not think has problems with radicalisation.

And this belongs in the SoapBox from here on!

Where is the problem? At least all people are safe on ground... except the other story which happens at the moment in Paris, but this is not a W3.1 problem Rose | [Rose]

.

I don't like to know how many AS400 system are still in operation for much more critical tasks. Ok AS400 is an OS while 3.1 is a ?

Well, apparently only two people in Paris will be able to troubleshoot issues soon and they had a problem last week...
I'm also pretty sure Microsoft doesn't support 3.1 anymore Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

So I guess there isn't a problem until there is a problem.
I'm just amazed that 3.1 is still in use.
Well, not really amazed, as COBOL and such are also still very much in use.
But still... Reading about it makes me giggle Smile | :)

We still have some control system running DOS software with WfW 3.11 on 486 based PCs (so they are from the mid 90's) and some running Windows sofware with NT4.

If one of the system dies I replace it with a spare system (usually also a 486 or an early Pentium) or just replace the hard disk if that is defective. Each time when that happens (actually about every two years) I have to remember how to install WfW. Therefore I wrote a short HOWTO some years ago and copied the installation disks to a CD-ROM.

The spare systems has been used as normal desktop systems many years ago and has been rescued by me. It is always astonishing how long these old system are working because they are often running for multiple weeks without being switched off. Main failure reasons are the hard disks.

I always thought it would be difficult to find a job when becoming older. But it seems that people like me are rare specialist for such old systems nowadays.

Not surprised at all - they are mechanical components, and once bearings start to wear...

Power supplies also age badly in my experience.

No thanks. I have enough (still one 486 and 3 Pentium) and may also use newer systems as long as they are 32-bit.

Nowhere near that estimate Frown | :(
