[Note: parts of this message were removed to make it a legal post.]

The latest LSB release adds support for Python and Perl. From
http://www.linux.com/feat... :

*"
Runtime languages* (new in 3.2): Covers Perl and Python. Any application
based on these languages can count on a standard set of features and
libraries being available; for example, check the required lists for Python
modules<http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Languages/LSB-Languages/pymodules.h...
Perl
modules<http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Languages/LSB-Languages/perlymodule....
Two test suites are included, one for each language.
"

Anyone know of any plans to include Ruby?

Very important point. If you or I were to claim that Estonia's economic
recovery proves that a flat tax works, the leftists couldn't squeal fast
enough that their size disqualifies them as a realistic case study.

Same notion in this case. Countries with some mix of small population,
natural resources, or with the luxury of being a major vacation
destination can get away with all sorts of governmental sins that larger
diversified nations can't.

Norway's only a "socialist country" if you adopt a very loose definition
of term, anyway.

Plus, they have about the crappiest train system on the Western
continent, but I digress.......

Given the extent of government largesse in the biggest of Europes
economies, denying they are socialist is going to fill your ears with
sand. And as for Norway, without the massive oil revenues (on a per
capita basis) they too would be finding the bottom of the trough dry.
