Nominations for 2003 Vaporware Awards

spin2cool writes "Wired News is now accepting submissions for its fifth annual Vaporware Awards. These awards "celebrate all those eagerly anticipated gizmos that were put off, put away or quietly put down. And, of course, those that existed merely as a figment of someone's imagination."

Tell you what. Lets play a game.
I have to hide 200 half gallon jugs in the state of Texas. I have 10 years to do it. I have no budjet. You have one year to find them. If you fail I get to for real kill you and all of your family. Want to play?

so better grow up and ask yourself (or mor specifically good ole bush) about international rights! (wonder why no german, french, other anti iraq-war countries get NO contracts for rebuilding in iraq? search google for 'bush iraq halliburton' and check fo yourself)

Google results notwithstanding...there are a couple of good (IMHO) reasons not to award contracts to German or French companies (or *any* companies other than US or Iraqi ones). The most obvious reason is that the source of the reconstruction funds is (ta-daa!) US taxpayer money. I'm already not a big fan of just giving the money away with no repayment plan, but I'm even less in favor of giving it away to people who don't directly benefit from it (Iraqis), or aren't helping fund it (me/you/KBR).

unless by "we" you mean various French and German chemicals companies, you're talking out your arse.
