I believe a better question is does collective consciousness somehow affect the outcome of certain events, and could some events be tied together?

Remember September 11th 2002, the New York Lottery came out 9-1-1? That was very coincidental.

BTW, I can taste the difference in Coke and Pepsi. I prefer Pepsi, but I really don't care. My wife, however, is very sensitive to the difference. When she was pregnant even the smell of Pepsi would make her nauseated, but Coke was fine.

However, I think most people don't know the difference. When Coke came out with New Coke many people complained bitterly. The leading crusader for the switch back to "Old Coke" was Gay Mullins. However, when given a taste test with Coke, New Coke and Pepsi, he chose PEPSI! When given a second chance, he said he could not tell which he liked best. In his case, it apparently was "all in his mind." The only reference I could find quickly on this is this usenet post.

Technically, it appears that Skype only uses a third party to facilitate a direct connection between the two NATed hosts. I've heard this described as NAT Punching and I'm still a bit fuzzy on how it works.

According to this article, Skype licensed a proprietary codec from Global IP Sound.

As for spyware, a little research into the history of the Kazaa client would reveal that the people who introduced the spyware did so after they bought the technology from the developers. The Skype people are the original developers and had nothing to do with the spyware included in the install. Remember for a time you could download the Morpheus client and participate on the same P2P network as Kazaa without spyware. It wasn't until Morpheus and Kazaa had a falling out and Morpheus no longer worked on the Kazaa network that you saw the spyware free KazaaLite clients coming out.

It's your children and economy that have to pay the piper. That's why the talk of "tax cuts" is so aggravating. They aren't "tax cuts", they are "tax debts and burdens" on our future generations.

Notably, future generations aren't voters in the here and now when trade-offs are being decided about future taxes supporting current benefits.

From 7 years ago, this testimony from a young person about the consequences of using an overly generous CPI to boost, for example, social security entitlement payments, seems prescient.

Entitlement payments and debt interest already eat the majority of the federal budget - so-called discretionary spending - on programs that could hardly be deemed optional - is going to come under heavy scrutiny.

As someone who is going into retirement sooner than most of the population, I think it is unconsciounable that aged Americans and politicians have taken advantage of the pay-as-you-go Social Security system to milk much more from the system than they've put in.

I know it will decrease my benefits, but the system has to be changed to preserve what society actually needs as a bare minimum essential safety net instead of a pension.

Compare the percentage of people living under the poverty threshhold of those over age 65 to those under the age of 18 and you can see what kinds of decisions we're making.

Don't get me wrong - the elderly ought not to suffer in abject poverty. But they ought to exercise the responsiblity and wisdom in their voting not to financially oppress their progeny.

Above: Serbian peacekeeping troops patrol Washington, D.C. "We must do all we can to support free elections in America and allow democracy to gain a foothold there," Kostunica said. "The U.S. is a major player in the Western Hemisphere and its continued stability is vital to Serbian interests in that region." Kostunica urged Al Gore, the U.S. opposition-party leader who is refusing to recognize the nation's Nov. 7 election results, to "let the democratic process take its course." Special Report "Mr. Gore needs to acknowledge the will of the people and concede that he has lost this election," Kostunica said. "Until America's political figures learn to respect the institutions that have been put in place, the nation will never be a true democracy." Serbian forces have been stationed throughout the U.S., with an emphasis on certain trouble zones. Among them are Oregon, Florida, and eastern Tennessee, where Gore set up headquarters in Bush territory. An additional 10,000 troops are expected to arrive in the capital city of Washington, D.C. by Friday. Though Kostunica has pledged to work with U.S. leaders, he did not rule out the possibility of economic sanctions if the crisis is not resolved soon. "For democracy to take root and flourish, it must be planted in the rich soil of liberty. And the cornerstone of liberty is elections free of tampering or corruption," Kostunica said. "Should America prove itself incapable of learning this lesson on its own, the international community may be forced to take stronger measures."

Actually, given the increasing number of broadband users in the USA, the difference in download times for FireFox and Mozilla 1.7.3 is no longer significant.

The difference between 4.5 MB and 11MB is dramatic for the 60 million (49%) US internet users who still don't have broadband.

I'm not sure how a figure like "half" isn't significant. Half of the US still isn't on broadband and for them, Firefox downloading much easier than Mozilla. Firefox is about the size of an MP3. People can relate to downloading something that size.

But Mozilla has a few things that FireFox lacks right now: 1) better page-rendering accuracy and 2) a very good mail and newsgroup reader.

Mozilla and Firefox share the same Gecko rendering engine so I'm not sure where you get the "better page-rendering accuracy" from. Firefox has a powerful companion e-mail application called Thunderbird for anyone who needs a great (not "good") email and newsgroup reader. Thunderbird is to Mozilla email what Firefox is to Mozilla browser.
