for yet another Linux vs Microsoft debate. Is anyone tired of this constant theme of articles?
"Your rights are being taken away by XXX" or "Linux is better than Microsoft because of XXX" or "New Openoffice and btw, the Iraqi war is unjustified blah blah blah"
Anyone have any links to any other tech sites that aren't so desperate for sensationalist articles solely at aiming to driving hits?

First of all, please don't group Canada with the US. Sure we share the same border, but that's about where the similarity ends.

Ok, say it again... this time really slowly. Voting dictators into office.. Ok. Understand? Nope, ok.. say it again. This time sound out all the words.
If we lived in a democracy, would things link lobbying, government invasions on rights and properties, tax cuts for the filthy rich while the working class foots the bill, and this damned war G-Dub wants to get us all involved in even be an issue?
2) A method of world governance that rids us of rogue states that persecute their own populations (Saddam, North Korea et al) and also curbs rogue states with semi-democratically elected leaders who want to attack other states on dodgy pretexts (GWB I'm looking at you)
No you idiot. My point was that all these hippy pot smoking assholes want to sit around on their hands. Sadly it's going to take another terrorist attack to wake these idiots up.
*laf* I knew it. We wouldn't be in this mess now if Clintion was sticking cigars in places where cigars should never go.
If he wasn't worried about getting his dick sucked by every bitch in the White House, maybe he would have responded with a real retaliation to the FIRST WTC bombing.
His liberation of Kosovo was way too late and many lives were lost because of his lack of a backbone, among other things
And yes, it's a preemtive strike. Are you so blind that you can't see that we are AT WAR right now? Perhaps we need the golden gate bridge to be brought down before you realize that it's time for action, not talk.
Back to an earlier point, of Clinton didn't decimate the CIA, maybe we would have had SOME decent intelligence in place.. ARgh, I can go on and on.
Yes YES YES it's about putting our sphere of influence around Iraq. The radical Muslim "units" that live and breed in these nations must be aware that we are there and we will not stand for another attack.
Iraq is just a stepping stone.
The reason why everyone isn't going apesh*t over N korea is because we have the backing of China. China's economy is directly related to trade with the US. Any compromise in that will be squashed by the big Red. Bush and his team know that N Korea would have a huge world of pain if they tried any shit.
And lastly, what pisses me off is not being anti-war but being anti-american. You probably don't even realize it.. most Democrats don't.
Did I say a month? I meant two few weeks. You honestly think his "elite guard" will fight to the end?
Did you not see the war in Afghanistan? The first gulf war?
The kurds in the North will lead the man assault while the US/UK team will blast every military target in sight.
Within weeks Saddham will be captured and dragged through the streets as payback for his ruthless dicatorship since 1979. If you don't believe me, look at the facts. The per capita income of a family in Iraq is 2700 a year! Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot that people of Iraq enjoy their poverty stricken life style.
My only hope is that Sean Penn is inspecting a SCUD when the bombs start dropping.
Thankfully you have absolutely no say on the pending war with Iraq. It's narrow minded cowards like yourself that allowed millions of jews to die at the hand of Hitler.
In about a month when the war is over, let's see what you have to say about all the Iraq people celebrating in the streets from their new found freedom.
What country are you from? Please don't tell me you're from the US because you're an embarrasment to every man and woman that fights in our armed forces and an insult to the 3000 innocent cilivians was killed on 9/11
I'm hoping that you're from one of those once-superpowers-that-we-saved-your-ass in 50 years ago.
I'll leave with a quote for those of us that don't want to have the bad taste of your liberal puke comment:
"America is often said to be a 'hyper power,' yet our actions are repeatedly frustrated by an endless train of objections and obstacles. America has fought distant wars to defend whole continents from a succession of aggressors, but the beneficiaries of the safety we have ensured often devote their energies to impeding our efforts to help others," Hyde said. "We shoulder burdensome responsibilities for the benefit of the entire globe, but too often we must do so alone." Henry Hyde
"Within a century, I'm sure (or should I say 'I hope') we'll have craft capable of going much faster and further."
Very interesting thought! How cool would it be to get that sucker back and stick it in the Smithsonian. Right next to the Mars Pathfinder Rover that we get back 15 years from now.
Hrm.. I guess the only thing that would be even cooler is that it was delivered back to us with a bow on top.

True, it doesn't facilitate theft, but then you have to compare that against the 4 or so cashiers that you didn't have to hire.

One Milllllllllllllllllllllllllllllion divisions. Each division has laser beams attached to it's head too.
France has just officially surrendered to the "Second Superpower".

Yeah, a chance in Hell.

You forgot:
7) A clue.
.. was so overwhelmed by serving up web pages that the developers would whisper words of encourgement... "Cache it if you can!"
.. they tried to add more disk space and killed it. I guess one could say that RAID killed the fly.
.. if they could fit a squid in a fly.
I did the same thing. Should have probably read "Intelligent European Life in Doubt!"
Bring on the bad karma!
laf! I misread 266 for 286.
Wow, I thought I worked with idiots. I would love to meet the person that would buy a 286 in 2001!
.. shouldn't it be called fagapalooza?
;-)
No offense to my Canadian brethren

No, let's believe that Saddam was elected by 100% of his people at the last election. Yeah, he is a beloved leader.

Don't be jealous because Tony Blair believes in the US and respects us as the sole superpower. Yeah, it's a tough pill to swallow.
