【分析解答题】Open source’’s local heroesSoftware: If the commercial sort does not speak your language, open-source software may well do so insteadIts popularity is growing around the world, but open-source software has particular appeal in developing countries. InChina, South Korea, India,Brazil and other countries, governments are promoting the use of such software which, unlike the proprietary kind, allows users to inspect, modify and freely redistribute its underlying programming instructions. The open-source approach has a number of attractions.Adopting open-source software can reduce costs, allay security concerns and ensure there is no danger of becoming too dependent on a foreign supplier.But there is another benefit, too; because it can be freely modified, open-source software is also easier to translate, or localise, for use in a particular language. This involves translating the menus, dialogue boxes, help files, templates and message strings to create a new version of the software.Large software vendors have little incentive to support any but the most widely spoken languages. Microsoft, for example, provides its Windows 2000 operating system in 24 languages, and Windows XP in 33. The company also supports over 20 languages in the latest version of its Office software suite. Yet for many languages, commercial vendors conclude that producing a localised product is not economically viable.The programmers who produce open-source software operate by different rules, however. The leading desktop interfaces for the open-source Linux operating system — KD
E、and GNOME-are, between them, available in more than twice as many languages as Windows. KD
E、has already been localised for 42 languages, with a further 46 in the pipeline. Similarly, Mozilla, an open-source web browser, now speaks 65 languages, with 34 more to follow. Open Office, the leading open-source office suite, is available in 31 languages, including Slovenian,Basque and Galician, and Indian languages such as Gujarati,Devanagari, Kannada and Malayalam.And another 44 languages including Icelandic, Lao, Latvian, Welsh and Yiddish are on the way.Localising software is a tedious job, but some people are passionate enough about it to resort to unusual measures. The Hungarian translation of Open Office was going too slowly for Janos Noll, founder of the Hungarian Foundation for Free Software. So he built some web-based tools to distribute the workload and threw a pizza party in the computer room at the Technical University ofBudapest. Over a dozen people worked locally, with about 100 Hungarians submitting work remotely over the weB、Most of the work — translating over 21,000 text strings — was completed in three days. DwayneBailey of translate, org. za, an open-source translation project based in SouthAfrica, says localising open-source programs into Zulu, Xhosa, Venda, Sesotho and otherAfrican languages makes computers more accessible. With translated software, "these languages are suddenly players in the modern worl
D、" NevilleAlexander, a former SouthAfrican freedom-fighter, agrees. "AnEnglish-only or even anEnglish-mainly policy necessarily condemns most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of mediocrity, since people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and self-confident if they cannot use their first language," he says.
A、similar approach is being taken in India, where there are 18 official languages and over 1,000 regional dialects. Shikha Pillai is one of the leaders of a team inBangalore that is translating open-source software, including Open Office, into ten Indian dialects. She, too, feels that introducing Indian languages will help to foster a far deeper penetration of information technology. "Localisation makes IT accessible to common people," she says.

【单选题】The lessons of state failureTraditional diplomacy deals with risks of conflict between nation-states. These risks are of course still present, but a more pervasive danger is that states will simply collapse. Of a dozen or so conflicts inAfrica in recent years, few, if any, have involved cross-border aggression. Instead, bankrupt and impoverished states have imploded, the vacuum filled not by regimes with newly consolidated power but by brutal violence engulfing civilians. The disaster then fans out to neighboring countries, and eventually much farther a fielD、
A、special "task force on state failure" set up byAmerica’’sCI
A、has found that three variables are most predictive of state stability or instability: the openness of the economy; democracy; and infant mortality. In sub-SaharanAfrica, where much of the population lives on the edge of subsistence, poverty and slow economic growth, or outright decline, increased the likelihood of future state collapse, thereby trapping the countries in a vicious circle of poverty and political instability. Rich countries, on the other hand, tend to maintain political stability which, in turn, promotes further economic development.When countries were classified in 1990 by their status in the United Nations HumanDevelopment Index (an index of income, literacy and health), high-development countries achieved robust and stable economic growth during 1990-98, with average growth rates of around 2. 3% a year and with 35 out of 36 countries enjoying rising living standards. Middle-development countries achieved a slightly lower growth rate, 1. 9% a year, but 7 out of 34 countries experienced outright declines in living standards. The poorest countries averaged no economic growth at all, with 15 out of 39 experiencing falling living standards. The flip-side to the poverty trap, however, is that the gains of development tend to be sustained, once countries break through to sufficient levels of income, health and literacy. Conservatives inAmerica often ask why it matters if an impoverished country collapses. The answer is that, aside from humanitarian concerns, crises in such far away places often suck the United States into crisis as well. Since 1960,America has been dragged into military conflicts inCuba, Thailand, Laos,Congo, Vietnam, theDominican Republic,Cambodia,Cyprus, Lebanon, Zaire,El Salvador, Libya, Lebanon, Honduras, Nicaragua,Chad, Liberia,Bosnia, Somalia and, more recently, Kosovo andColombi
A、State failures, or even milder state instability, have also underminedAmerican and global interests through globally transmitted financial crises, drug-trafficking, money-laundering, terrorism, the spread of diseases such asAIDS and mass refugee flows. On the positive side, sustained economic development would create new and potentially large gains from trade, as well as much-needed cooperation in science and culture. Even when a problem is correctly identified, there is a stunning disconnect between risk and action inAmerica’’s foreign economic policy. The globalAIDS epidemic, for example, has recently and wisely been identified as a risk to the security of the United States. What action has been taken President GeorgeBush has called uponAmericans to give just $ 200 million, or 70 cents each, to the new global fund to fight the disease.The failure to make even basic investments in foreign policy has been pervasive, and the examples are legion.Eleven years ago, the last prime minister of unified Yugoslavia,Ante Markovic, launched a last-ditch plan for economic stabilization.
