Yup...French and English fluently...Arabic (Tunisian dialect...oddly enough) and Spanish a lot less fluently. Some Italian too (not much, mind you). Sousse is a very nice city. I've had many a meal everlooking the port El Kantaoui. The time I spent in Tunisia was perhaps the most enriching time of my life. The people are wonderful as is the country as a whole. Where are you from? (Canada, me thinks - based on past threads). Also a truly beautiful country. I've often wanted

As for monarchies...Are you referring to that old woman that continuously leaves her crack pipe around setting fire to her palaces? If she's a monarch, then Elvis truly was the King!!!

I was indeed born and raised (for the most part) in North Africa....noone said i was an arab... British (idealist) father and berber (touareg) mother (it is deemed wise to never call a berber an arab, FYI).

LeCrayon...why don't you have a talk with your parents (or grandparents) about how it was like during the Nazi occupation of Holland. Ask them how the pacificts (who tossed flowers at the on-comming tanks) fared during that confrontation. Also...make a short trip to Bosnia and ask the innocent civillians (Serbs or otherwise) how conforting it was knowing they were pacifists while they watched their families being mercilessly 'cleansed'. Grow up!!. Someone made the comment that there has been

I'm getting tired of the suffering population arguement....after all wasn't the pre-revolutionary population of the US oppressed and suffering? Isn't every population suffering today (to some extent). I do know the difference...and I also know what a popular movement can accomplish. After all, with a standing army of one million (and another 2 million in the wings) how many are left to oppose? If we quit feeding them, then they might get off their butts and do something (with common cutlery

I've been visiting WinCustomize for some time now, and know that we are a very diverse community. I was just wondering where everyone is and where they have been. I'll start: 1963 - 1965 Tairet, Algeria 1965 - 1965 Geneva, Switzerland 1965 - 1966 Rabat, Morrocco 1966 - 1969 Tunis, Tunisia 1969 - 1971 Tripoli, Libya 1971 - 1972 Houston, Texas 1972 - 1975 Bethel, Alask 1975 - 1976 South Hampton, England 1976 - 1981 Honolulu, Hawaii 1981 - 1984 Tunis,

Risk7...StyleXP is a hack into the msthemes.dll that bypasses the security features put there by the all knowing, all virtuous Microsoft god (I hope you know I'm joking). There is nothing to stop MS from modifying the mstheme.dll (a single byte ought to do it) to break StyleXP. I seriously doubt that the StyleXP community has the ability to bring on an anti-trust lawsuit to stop them from doing so. WindowBlinds, on the other hand, is sanctioned by MS (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) -

/me Peff grabs the spliff and partakes..... I think anyone using StyleXP will be unpleasently surprised when Microsoft decides to correct the hole in their theme DLL which is being hacked to allow StyleXP. Then the 'switch' will be a no-brainer. BTW....does ID actually provide the Map editor? I always thought it was a third party product. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/sb.gif" bor

Yeah...I read it...the "not again" refers to the same old argument about how a free product would benefit Stardock sales (or in this case further Skin development, thereby increasing sales). Since your user Id indicates that you are a relatively new visitor, maybe I was out of line. Stardock uses the revenue generated from their products to pay their employees (thereby furthering the evolution of their products) and finance this site. The bandwidth used to keep all of us happy (for the most p

Not again.... risk7...do you have any idea how expensive bandwidth is? I would imagine at this point that the cost would be upward of $10,000 per month (low balled that one, I know).

Here's an idea....why don't we stop feeding the North Korean mofo's. Their 1 million man army (1 million stick figures) wouldn't get very far...I think. Another idea....Leave Saddam alone....let him invade and destroy his neighbors...then we take him out...and lower the price of oil worldwide!! -- we would lose Israel as an ally, but considering their contribution to the international community since their inception...I don't think it would be a great loss. Yeah yeah, I k

Mukul "That way poor chaps like me can still download skins for free while the richer one who came with a silver tablespoon can get it on some premium with the convinience of CD." THAT sounds arrogant and offensive to me!! (and to others, by the looks of it). Mukul "I never meant that I want my way out on the expense of those who've earned their bucks hard way." Reading the first quote, it sounds exactly like you meant just that!! As for t
