Xenophobic? Because I dislike ILLEGAL ALIENS? Hardly. Look at Mexico. It isn't composed of just "Mexicans". There are Latinos, there are Azteca, there are Mexicans (mostly composed of "Mestizos" - a term that has gone out of fashion) and there are several of those "indigenous peoples" mentioned in the article - Mayans and others.

Mexico has been engaged in a quiet campaign of genocide against those "inigenous peoples" since AT LEAST the time of the revolution.

When those Azteca feel that it's time to move on, they will start on the United States as it's next target. Care to peruse their "Patron Saints"? Visit here. http://blogs.uww.edu/introtolatinamerica/2009/11/01/patron-saints-of-the-mexican-drug-underworld/ Look closely - NONE of these saints has anything to do with Catholicism - these are the icons of death worshippers and criminals. Azteca - the people who regularly raided what is now the SW United States for victims to sacrifice atop their pyramids.

I'm all for LEGAL IMMIGRATION - that is where people apply for immigration, follow the rules, and eventually become naturalized, and swear allegiance to their adopted country. ILLEGAL ALIENS are an invading force.

Xenophobic idiot. Whatever. Open your eyes, and look at what is going on. There is conflict in this world that you don't see, and are happy to remain blissfully unaware of.

The university of Wisconsin Whitewater has a textbook rental service. http://www.uww.edu/StdRsces/textbook/index.html the rental fees and cost of useing te service are part of the seg. fees

You can google for it. I found this document.

What'd be the benefit of the NT kernel instead of Linux or *BSD?

Here, have a nice cup of hot cocoa. Read this.

1a : something said or done to provoke laughter; especially : a brief oral narrative with a climactic humorous twist b (1) : the humorous or ridiculous element in something (2) : an instance of jesting : KIDDING <can't take a joke> c : PRACTICAL JOKE d : LAUGHINGSTOCK 2 : something not to be taken seriously : a trifling matter <consider his skiing a joke -- Harold Callender> -- often used in negative constructions <it is no joke to be lost in the desert>

See #1a, 1b1, 1b2. May I also recommend to you this informative work on the very nature of humor? Please do attempt a full understanding of humor before trying to make fun of someone's post.

Oh, man... A thought just occurred to me... what if your post was also tongue-in-cheek humor, a commentary on the rigid nature of grammar nazi's and their ilk?

It's nowhere near as simple as that. You can recreate the moon illusion by doing the following:

1) Stare at the dot in the circle found on this page for around 30 seconds.

2) Stare up at the ceiling, you should see a yellow after-image appear. Note its size.

3) Now look horizontally at a nearby wall. Notice how bigger the circle looks? That's the moon illusion taking effect without a horizon in sight.

For a detailed explanation of the Moon Illusion, visit this page at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. According to that site, it's due to Oculomotor Micropsia, which is to do with the way the eye focuses on objects in the distance

Like *injecting plutonium on human beings* kind of nice?
