I just found out this text was written in 1973!! Pheew! I'm relieved. For a few hours I really was scared about the future of intelligent and well informed journalism here, in Canada.
I'm not gonna say it. My thoughs didn't make it through my own "Don't say that Paxx" filter. Let's just say that it sometimes is impossible to see the forest when you got your nose against the tree.
The problem is that the leaders can very easily hide in the mountains of Afganistan. It could be an impossible job to locate them... What then? I sure hope there will be no bombing of the cities...
Well, as was said in the other post, the compliment is nice and the thought is noble, but just about every reasons he gives are untrue.
Man, I just read some more news... Looks lika a massive attack in preparing... If you live in Afganistan at the moment, take the next plane out!!! RUN! Man, this is so scary. I don't even want to think about the future at the moment...
Frogboy, you scare me. What you speak of is unthinkable. Lethal_Zen, I feel for you. I am sure those are images that will stay in your memory for you whole life. You have all my sincere sympathies.
Frogboy, unfortunately, that is not entirely true. There are no longer any cases now where the US is supporting any terrorist (not that we know of, anyway) but this was not always the case. For 10 years, the CIA founded Ben Laden's group himself in the 80's when he was fighting against the Soviet invation in Afganistan. It only stopped when the USSR pulled away in 1989. Ben Laden turned against the US only in 1990, with the attack against Saddam Hussein, who himself as well was once a US pupp

You might emigrate from Netherlands in order to immigrate to the US.
Well, yes, I agree, although it's still beyond me to understand. Every soldiers in this world is indoctrinated, otherwise there would be no soldier in this would who could pull the triger on any other person in this world. I have never been in the middle of a battlefield, but I would imagine those kamikaze pilots probably are not too different from any fighting soldiers. A little more than zombies with a mission to accomplish. But there is more that i failed to see. Being athiest I
Yes, but willingly giving up your life? The animal instinct of self-preservation is so strong, giving up your life takes a huge will power. I dunno, maybe it's just me, but although it may be horrible, I have to admit I consider that act couragous, not cowardly. When, as a child, I first heard of the Japanese kamikaze, I was awstruck. How could anybody have the balls to do such a thing? How could one's love for his country or his cause be so great that he forget any sense of self-being, any
The above was in answer to Ben. Now about the actual topic posted by Brad, here are my thoughts. Firstly terrorism hides in the shadows. It comes from nowhere and everywhere. They could be of any nationality, even Americans. You can't fight and win against terrorism. You can punish the perpetrators as they do their horrible deeds, but you can't put a definate end to it. About the NATO thing, I only hope it doesn't lead into yet more innocent lives lost.
Yeah, me too, I think the whole planet should just be nuked. That will surely take care of terrorism for ever.
Hum, I see your point there. If indeed there is a leader in this thing. If indeed he hides and sends others to do his work, then yes, indeed he must be a coward, like any "leader" who sends others to fight for him is a coward. But I was refering to those who actually voluntarely gave away their own life for this horrible act. I can find lot of words to describe those insane, evil, heartless people, but I don't think "coward" is one of them. It doesn't take away any of the atrocity of the
So, I may be thick but what does that quote has to do with the recent events? What City of God? What brothers? What fortress? I've seen other people quoting those words, but I fail to see any sense in it...
Oh but Mobius, there are indeed people who wold cheer if this happened in any place in the world. There are extermists everywhere. I am sure there were some people dancing when the Bomb hit Hiroshima, or when Dresden was destroyed in 1945, or during the Tutsi massacres, or after the Holocaust or the Genocides in Tibet or Bosnia. This world seems like a sick place sometimes. But just remember that those Palestinians you saw parading and dancing in the streets are only a small minority of fan
Hum, I can find a whole big lot of names to describe the people who did that, and none of them are nice. But I must say that "coward" is not one of them. Evil, animals, blood thirsty, machiavelic, spawn of Satan, ok, but not coward. When I first heard it from Bush, I didn't understand why the chopice of that word, and I still don't. Anyway, it is trivial really. Oh, and please let's try to avoid speculation and racism until we know who did it. Sure, some extremist Palestinians could have
I'm so in shock, I'm almost crying over here. My heart rate must be at 140...
That first sentence should read "This is not even only affecting the US."
This is not even affecting the US. The whole world is in chaos right now. This is the worst event since WW2... There are tens of thousands of victims, the world economy is at a halt. I am, like every citizens on this planet, totally in shock.
Hum... I have a P2/333, and I consider my machine average. Neither low or high. Of course compared to the new computers in the store, it is low-end. But to me what defines low/high end is not what's availabel in the stores, but what average Joe uses. Crae's computer is definetly low end.
Transparent icons are not supported by versions of Windows previous to XP. So, the only solution is to upgrade or as Migellito suggested, use Desktop X, with which you'll be able to place animated, trnaparent objects on your desktop. Only downside is a somewhat perceptible lost of performance. The choice is yours.
A P200 is low-end? /me wonders what Crae's machine is then... !
Excellent. Good job T! The Library header is a great addition. Thank you.

Neo, your PNG has to have transparency to work in DX. If you have no transparent area, DX won't like it. So just leave a part of you image transparent, "save as web", select PNG 24 bits, check the "transparent" checkbox, and you're set. Hope this helps.
