When is Linux going to have some real desktop alpha transparency support? I'm sick and tired of this fake transparency shit that smears terminal window backgrounds all over the desktop. My Mac does this, and I really feel that this is holding me back from switching to Linux. When will this be implemented, anyway?

Jealousy? The "western" way of life that is so evil is incredibly more succesful than their own?

Yanks? I think the British have a little to do with the situation, too. Remember, THEY controlled Palestine and decided to repartition it. But, anyway, that was my response to why they hate us, not why they hate Israel.

Why are so many Mac users homosexuals?
The way I figure it, Mac users fall into the
following three categories:
Homosexuals
Girls
Negroes
In a way, you could lump items 1 and 2 together.
Homosexuals think they are girls,
or at
least they want to be one.

BRITNEY'S SUN-DAMAGED ASS

I thought it was interesting when I learned how long humans have known the Earth is round. In relatively modern (non-prehistoric) history, Eratosthenes measured the circumference of the Earth as 25,000 miles, which is basically correct. He did this in 230 B.C. He also used the fact that the sun is really far away, so the rays coming from it could be treated as parallel.
Another test you can do is to stand at about sea level and observe a ship. Then travel away from the ship on the ground and it will slowly go over the horizon. Then keep moving away but go up a mountain, and it will reappear. The simplicity of this experiment suggests people have known the Earth is round for as long as they could reason well enough to come up with this experiment.
Of course, maybe the Earth is rounded on top but flat on the bottom, like a Nilla(tm) wafer? You could argue this wasn't known for sure until Magellan circumnavigated the globe in 1524.

Nope. Had nothing to do with it. But hey, don't let dry, rational analysis get in the way of liberal slogan-shouting! Evaluating your army's performance is just too geeky to be stylish. It'll never get you a table at Studio 54.
It's pretty clear that almost the entire debacle can be laid at the feet of McNamara and Kissinger. These two (and others) need to be delivered up to war crimes tribunals for appropriate treatment.
