Strykar: If you ever visited my home you would realize how ridiculous your claim about World War II is (hint: several bookshelves on the subject but a ton of artifacts, WW2 history is my hobby). Suffice to say, my knowledge on World War II is pretty solid.

Ooh boy, whatever buddy. I looked at a map of the world and it says "Europe". So France is clearly taking land away from Europe... But yea, you can really tell you've amassed great knowledge on these issues. I mean with a degree in political science and everything. Like most "experts" you've identified that size/population have nothing to do with world threat right? Luxemberg vs. Soviet Union in the 1960s? Could go either way right?

Palestinians ARE terrorists. Not all of them of course but they're the ones intentionally targeting women and children with nail bombs.

LOL, I always love the "If you disagree with my opinion it is only because you are uneducated." Styrkar, why should I bother putting forth my time to respond to you when you insist on insulting my intelligence? It is the tactic used by the weak minded as an alternative to actually putting forth a cohesive argument.

Some of these comments just at credence to the anti-semitism. Or at best, paranoia. I like the comment how we Americans are "young" as if people who happen to have been born on soil that has been occupied by white people longer than another patch of soil that is also occupied by white people have some inside track. None of the comments explain how Israel is a threat to world peace. For instance, I don't see how building a wall constitues a threat to WORLD peace. I can see how

What is it with the continental Europeans and their hatred of Israel? In a recent European poll, 59% of Europeans responded that they think Israel is the greatest threat to world peace. Israel. Not Iran. Not Iraq. Not North Korea. Heck, not even the United States. I've talked via email with people from Europe (western Europe mainly) who just can't understand why Americans have such a "blind spot" to the "obvious" threat Israel poses. What threat? Threat to whom? The threat

THERE ARE NO ABORIGINALS OF TASMANIA IN TASMANIA. You seem to be confusing Aboriginals in general with the ones that lived in Tasmania. The only major source I've seen disputing this is from Keith Windschuttle who wrote a book trying to claim that it's all a "myth". Sorry Zerg, but other than a few people like Keith Windschuttle, the consensus is that Australian settlers conducted an organized campaign to exterminate the aboriginals of Tasmania. There is no equivalent

LOL. Here are some facts: Number of native Tasmanians today: Zero. Where did they go? Wiped out by Australians. Not even mainly by disease but through killing. Much of it governmented funded. By contrast, there are millions of native Americans still. Mexico's "Claim" on those territories was about as legitimate as any European claim on any land. Mexico wasn't founded by native Americans. At best, they merely had the land they stole from the natives stolen by a different Europe

Manufacturing jobs going over to China? Republicans fault. IT jobs going to India? Republicans. Acid rain? Republicans. Warm weather in November? Republicans. In fact, all bad things, if you listen to some people, are the fault of Republicans. You see, they have a deep dark secret: They favor businesses. And as hard as this is believe, given how enlightened we're supposed to be these days, they actually think capitalism is good. Isn't that amazing? Capitalism good! <

BacktotheMac: Sorry but...bullshit about the G4 costing less than the Dell. I can get a 2.6Ghz Dell right now a lot cheaper than a 1.25 Ghz Dell. I'm looking at the Apple store right now. It's not even close. And you still end up having to buy Office and other software. When I purchase a computer I'm not purchasing it as a decoration for my house. I have things I want to do with it. And for most people that means using software. Therefore, one should be comparing what they get

And it's not just true of France. If you look at ANY country under a microscope things start to look grim. Australia is the only modern nation to SUCCESFULLY carry out genocide for example (against the native Tazmanians). We won't even start on Germany. Even neutral Switzerland has a taudry history. I'm not going to lose too much sleep to what the newspapers in France or Germany or Belgium write about Bush. The US economy, btw, is currently growing at over 7% annually. Things a

Hippygirl, the US government doesn't censor the news or what is printed in the media. Moreover, I don't really give a rat's ass what France or whatever thinks of GW. Don't they have someone they should be surrendering to this time of evening?

With DesktopX 2.0 out, I've been having a lot of fun playing around making all kinds of silly things. There's really nothing quite like DesktopX out there in the sense that it makes creating things very very easy. Let me show you something I sent to my mom today to illustrate my point. We got a cute picture of the 3 year old sleeping on the floor. My mom really likes the picture. But rather than just emailing her a picture of him (which I also did), I decided to put somethin

How do Europeans "Give" America 20 years. For what? In 20 years, at the rate things are going, Europe will be well on its way to being an economic back water.

That's just the thing, publicists get carried away on these things and then it just becomes "fact". Martha Stewart married a rich guy, got tired of being a house wife and got her husband to help fund a catering business. He also helped put together the connections to get her beyond being a local catering business. Once she "made it", she divorced her husband. People ask, "Why would she risk it all on such a trivial amount of money in insider trading?" Because Martha Stewart, f

What is it with Mac users and their tendency to think that everything was invented on the Mac? I've been seeing this a lot over the past few weeks as features of Longhorn have gotten leaked out. Compositing? MacOS X. XAML? There's an equivalent on Mac too. Name something on Windows and you're told it showed up on the Mac. Which is a pretty tall attitude for people who only recently seemed to have discovered preemptive multitasking or threads. Did Apple "rip off" th

Then use the other 20 days of normal level to execute on them. ;)
