Colonial China, Imperial Japan, The Phillipines, Hawaii, India, Viet-nam, the Opium Wars, The Boer Wars, Australia's lost generation, the west has achieved mush, but easily sets it aside when it suits its purpouses.
Well, considering I am a westerner, you just advocated Civil war:-)
I know this will get me modded down, but...

"the West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact, non-Westerners never do." ----------
Thats just it though, you can go out and drop a grand on a digicam just to take pictures of the same quality as a hand-me-down camera from my dad.
Granted, as others pointed out earlier in this thread, digital is more convenient, Analog still has better quality, and is unsurpassed for artistic purpuses.
Basically what this is saying is that if I go out and get a new whiz-bang camera with this funky new lens, I will be able to take a picture almost as good as the pictures I take with my 30 year old Cannon AE-1, and not have the leeway of doing photo processing tricks in the darkroom.
Well, see, I see a problem here. What if Google decided to make only Google.com the result for any search on Search Engines?
Or what if (since I am in the US), I did a Search for Democratic Presidential Candidates, and only got George W Bush as a result?
Corporate censorship is oftentimes more insidious in that Government, because the Government has very clear lines on what should be censored and for whom (Not that I agree with it, but generally, saying no porn for the kiddies is a good idea)
Corporations have no such compunctions, thier censorship is based on thier own bottom line. Nothing more, nothing less.
And do not flame me for it, but I think it is one part maintaining the public image (Jump on board!) to one part of just not having the resources/ Manpower to deal with every piece of submitted code. If all OSS projects had the type of man power that say, the Linux Kernel project had, Open Source would be dominating every market, but, as I do not run any of these, I really do not know.

Personally, I will stick to analog photography.

Working on a help desk, the people paid to understand that stuff do not anyhow, so I really do not what difference it would make.
I try to maintain a wide variety of sources from all over the world.
So a news story about the Dec 7th, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor is outdated?
I posted these to show that certain intelligence communities have believed this man dead for over 6 months now.
Tyrannosaurus Rex is a vic-20 with E-mail apparently
Considering This and This, He may already be dead.
I find the entire thing suspect personally.
I know :-)
"Yeah, I read his Blog till he sold out."
And you though punk and indie rockers could be bad.
Heh, wow, it is true, fundies cannot take a joke.
This all already revolts me
Read Lysistrata lately? Women withold sex from the men till they mend thier warmongering ways. It has freedom, Greece, and buggery all in one package.
Nothing I would want more than a porn site to have my phone number, and therefore access to my name and address.
Or any kind of site for that matter.
Nah, he got pinched in the 70's in New Mexico for some traffic violation
Interact with thousands of real people, doing everyday, real life things.
If I wanted to do that, I would go to work. And then Dinner and a movie.
Well, a few years ago they did sit by idlely as the hotmail domain expired and somebody else bought it, soo, in short....
YES.
Yes, those are serial ports.
All the better to install Linux on them and then making a mobile Beowulf cluster.
Not to mention where the kids are really going when they say they are going to Band Camp
Actually, It would not kill the ants, but it would make for a wicked cool cryogenics demonstration.
Now watch as they begin to move again! They are alive! BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
Although it may make it easier to shake them all out, and put them oputside if you are squeamish about killing the little buggers.
That explains volumes about M$'s corporate mentality
