    "I loved America for what it stood for.

    I was told that things like political persecution, detainment without trial, and beating of prisoners were things that happened in other countries, that they would never happen in America. I was told that we fought the American Revolution and wrote the Constitution specifically to ensure such things would never again happen in America. "

    Of Course the possible loss of Super K is sad, but the reasonably new SNO experiment can also see
    supernovae and has already improved on Super K's results for some measurements of neutrinos.

    Good lord. Do you even listen to yourself? What planet do you people live on? How many hours of your lives have you wasted dreaming up these silly fantasies in which every single thing that happens on the planet is about to rain massive destruction down upon the evil Microsoft empire? Seems like it's been going on for about 4 years at this site alone, and it's still as meaningless as it ever was. I can only imagine the bitterness some of you people must feel that your plans never come to fruition. Get out and talk to real people, take a business class or something, and you'll see it's really not all that hard to figure out. Just knock off these pathetically childlike daydreams already because it's long past embarrassing.

    In order to escalate the ongoing War on Free Speech, CmdrTaco has IP banned most anonymous proxies such as anonymizer.com.

    The future's looking grim, my anonymous coward troll friend. Slowly but surely the repressive Taco-regime is stripping away our rights to privacy and free speech.

    I remember, back in the days of BeOS R3 and 4.5, to have visited a site called the Artillion, put up by William Bull, the graphic artist who made the icons for the BeOS and much of its widgets. The last thing I know is he went to QNX, and presumably has done work on Photon's graphics there. Any slashdotter at QNX who can shed some light?
    I for one liked very much the graphics...

    don't you mean childish daydreams? childlike implies a sense of innocence or trustfulness, while childish indicates a lack of maturity... if you're going to insult me, please do it properly (i may be childish, but i've got better grammar than you -- nyah nyah, nyah nyah nyah...)

    listen, zic, there are over 200 lawsuits pending against microsoft at the moment, many of which microsoft is going to lose -- i was merely suggesting that palm might be among those 200+ litigants looking to take a chunk out of microsoft's hide... according to others upthread, Be has retained the rights to sue for themselves, which i would be willing to bet will happen, given that jean-louis gassée was a prosecution witness during microsoft's antitrust trial

    "The lies of the USA [indymedia.org]"

    Yes, I know about indymedia.org (hey I voted for Nader, I get some alterna-points right?), but I think falling for Taliban propaganda is just as bad as falling for American propaganda. Yes British and Soviet imperialism fucked around with their country (in the list of many) and left it a desolate wasteland of squabbling tribes, but the Taliban are zealotous thugs and deserve no apologists. Stalin and Hitler would have told you the same things about what they did for their country.

    Why don't you find out what 50% of the population (i.e. women) of Afghanistan think about the Taliban:

    Now whether our military action, or the method in which it is being carried out, is the correct response is another question entirely.
