  1. Re:"Years from now..." on Microsoft Exec Says, "You'll Miss Vista" · · Score: 1

    "Years from now, you'll look back at Vista and realise how horribly you wronged it. If only you'd known! If only you'd seen the truth! But it's too late now, because Vista is dead, it died alone and unloved, spurned by the coldness of your heart and your disdain for it's ungainly sincerity. Now you find yourself wedded to an operating system that is capable but distant, it's caresses mechanical and devoid of warmth. You'll spend your nights lying in its cold embrace and think 'oh! Vista! How I wish I'd stuck with you instead of reaching for the stars!' But it will be too late. Vista is gone, and all that remains is an echo of a memory that could have been."

  2. Re:Anyone know on US, Russia Reach Nuclear Arsenal Agreement · · Score: 1

    Under the current Honduran law only congress can change the constitution (read: the "privileged class") and Zelaya wanted to allow for the Honduran people to be able to do that. The question is: How can that be done without violating the law?
    True, he probably was going propose to do away with the limits to re-election but that's for the Honduran people to decide.
    Remember that Chavez also tried to extend his term and was rejected by the referendum, and so did Uribe in Colombia. But funny that when (left-wing) Chavez did it the press had a field day, but (right-wing) Uribe's bid for limitless terms is not news.

  7. Re:USA where Internet is a right and Heathcare isn on FCC Considering Free Internet For USA · · Score: 2, Informative

    Health care is indeed a right. You can go to other countries and get treatment for anything without paying a cent. My aunt's ex-husband moved to Venezuela for that very reason. After developing some strange condition here in the US he realized that it was actually impossible to pay for the treatment. In this country if you have no money it is expected that you'll just lay down and die. He's well now, by the way. And i think he's staying there for good. . . for obvious reasons.

  19. Birthplace Of Pablo Escobar on Colombia Signs Up For OLPC Laptops With Windows · · Score: 1

    "The XO is already being used in the Marina Orth School in a poor neighborhood in Medellin, birthplace and former home to famed drug lord Pablo Escobar."

    They just couldn't help themselves, ah? What if they did this with every article?
