Wait a minute. Both BSD and Stephen King are dead? Geez. I don't even think the great Kreskin could have predicted this.

The Blender Community ROCKS!! It gathered itself up by the bootstraps and saved one outrageously cool 3D render engine!

Check out www.blender.org and www.blender3d.com

Sad, kid. Sad.

The Palestinian "resistance" is the Ku Klux Klan with a better press agent: Same racist ideology, same methods (but more violent). The KKK lost its little war for ethnic cleansing, too. The KKK is less powerful than the US government. Does that make the Klan's cause just? No. Losing doesn't make you a "good guy". The UN partitioned Mandatory Palestine because far too many Arabs in that part of the world refused to live in peace with anybody but other Arabs. Far too many of them still refuse.
