I have two computers, a Linux box and a Windows 98SE box. One for work, and the other for play. On my windows box, I have replaced IE has the default browser. Some people are going as far as to use Lite98 like utilities to rip IE completely from their Windows system, and then configure Mozilla for quicklaunch. Under such a setup, Mozilla truely is faster than IE! Not only that, but I only had an IE crash on average once a day, but with Mozilla, I have yet to crash it... even after 12 hour browsing sessions!
The next thing Mozilla needs is to become the default AOL browser.
After that, Sony uses Mozilla has the default browser for the net addon to their PS2.
In addition, Apple replaces IE with Mozilla as OS X's default web browser.
Then the nail in the coffin would be an Outlook worm that transparently replaced IE with Mozilla. Overnight, the tables would turn. Wishful thinking? Maybe. Mozilla is not just a web browser, but an application platform for developing full featured software applications using open XML based languages. Enough market share would allow commercial desktop applications to be developed for a cross-platform paltform as was the desire with Java. Mozilla truely could be the turtle to Microsoft's rabbit.
Forget about buying Microsoft's X-Box. Instead, buy the new Via Eden Motherboard.
Its smaller in size than the Shuttle SS40.
It uses an x86 CPU that runs cooler and using less electricity than Transmeta's Crusoe!
The 533mhz x86 CPU runs your favorite PC operating systems and software: Linux, BSD, Windows, and it is powerful enough to play DivX movies, DVD movies, Quake 3, etc...
The CPU doesn't need active cooling (no fans), and the powersupply is tiny and also doesn't require active cooling (absolutely no fans). This means that the entire computer is absolutely silent! Perfect for an inexpensive homemade DivX/MP3 player!
The motherboard comes with a built in 3D video card good enough to play Quake 3 at playable framerates. It also has integrated CPU, sound, ethernet, and TV-Outs!
Just add one 256MB PC100 SDRAM stick and one 40GB Barracuda ATA IV harddrive (its power efficient and noiseless). Install your favorite OS, and you are ready to go for less than the price of a modded X-Box!
The Eden makes a good router, thin client, or MAME console gaming system too (add playstation to USB controller adapter). Bring that over to a fellow console gamer's house!
I study computer science, not physics, but from what I learned in high school, the current theory of the universe is founded on the existence of an uncountable infinity. This would imply that the universe in inherently something more than a computer as computers deal with countably infinite entities at best, if not countably finite entities.
Of course, these things are just shadows in our minds of the greater reality we exist in. Thats why I never really liked science and chose to study a branch of mathematics (computer science).
VIA makes a motherboard + CPU + couns + gfx + ethernet platform that sells for about $80. The CPU is like a Crusoe in that it runs x86 apps, but is based around ultra low power consumption. The board is called Eden and it is tiny! You can buy a little tiny chasis to go with it. The chasis should adhere to the new mini-itx standard which is about as small as 7 CD jewel cases stacked ontop of eachother. Anyway, most of the chasis come with fanless DC powersupplies. So you can easily build a fanless x86 linux box with a gig of RAM, a 566mhz eden CPU, sound, graphics, and networking (TV-outs too) for a few hundred. If you really wanted a complete solid state machine you should stick a flash disk IDE harddrive in it.
Please explain the logical step that takes your argument from "there exists a terrorist minority within the Palestinian people" to "the middle east needing ethnic cleansing of arabs"?
By the same reasoning, we could conclude that race X be cleansed from Y nation. I am sure many other people can think of another person who used such an arguement.
That fanless chasis would be a good match for VIA's Eden platform is an x86 motherboard/CPU/ethernet/sound/gfx combo that runs cool enough to only need a passive aluminum heatsink for cooling. Not only that, its going to cost around $100 for a basically complete computer! This means that the only noise generated by your computer would be the harddrive. Of course, if you wanted, you could use one of those solid state flash memory based harddrives, which would make for a totally silent computer.
Since the Eden platform has TV-outs, it would make a great set top box for playing emulated NES and SNES games, in addition to MP3s and DIVX movies.

Nice sig man. It takes allot of brains to come up with ethnic cleansing as a solution to the middle east problems, which is what the author of the article you linked calls for. That article is filled with racist, xenophobic, antisemitic filth. Bitching about how we the tax payers pay for Palestinian refugee camps is humorous as orders of magnitude more money go from the tax payers to Israel for example.
Would calling for the ethnic cleansing of Israelis from the middle east be an equally good solution... no way in hell!
That racist article that you linked never considers the fact that the arab world has been molested by western nations for the past couple hundred years. All of which has led to political and societal instability. Turning around and blaming it on the Arab race is disgusting! Go burn your crosses elsewhere, bigot.
Israel is fighting to be left alone, and so is Palestine. Therefore all that violence in the middle east is justified. See the problem? Hmmm... maybe violence isn't the solution? If it was, then things would be peechy keen in Palestine/Israel.
A wise man once said, "Live by the sword, die by the sword."
I am not sure why you must act so uncivilized, calling me insulting names, such as "twit" and "idiot". Is that also part of your incorrect moral code? Is that part of your ephemeral "truth"? If anyone is playing word games, it is you. I just read your post history, and I see that you curse, insult, and use harmful language left and right. My friend, you need to take a step back, calm down, and reevaluate yourself. You have let hatred consume you.
With all of that gaming on the go... the great battery life, nice controls, etc... what else would you need? Also, note that running the NES emulator directly on the Gameboy Advance's hardware is far better than running it ontop of a non-realtime operating system such as Linux and WinCE. Gaming, imo, requires a realtime OS or no OS at all. I mean, who really likes those pauses in the middle of a heavy action sequence in your game?
This is why its important to support open P2P protocols such as GNUtella. Several great GNUtella clients make using the network a snap. I recommend either Gnucleus or Xolox. Both connect to the same distributed GNUtella network and both are free to download and easy to use.
What makes something "military" and what makes something "civilian"? Can the "military" function without the "civilian"? Isn't the "military" populated by "civilians"?
Also, if you can't beat an opponent's army by directly fighting it, wouldn't you attack it at its roots? You are still attacking the military.
The point is that once you justify killing, almost anything can argued to to be morally ok.
Check out the great deals here on one of the best gaming systems ever. Sure the graphics and sound don't compete with most modern titles, but the gameplay can compete.
I totally agree! Game developers for some reason think that games need to be movies or reality simulators. Whatever happened to a game being a game? Some modern games are still games: Chu-chu Rocket is a good example.
The best classic games usually had a few simple concepts, which made initially picking the game up and playing a very easy task... however, the many different combinations of those few simple concepts gave gameplay depth only master gamers could conquer.
Note that 6000+ people were not killed during 9/11. The number is roughly 3000 people. Yes thats still allot, but I am just trying to keep the facts more accurate.
Sectarian violence still exists between Christian denominations. It doesn't exist between Jewish sects, but the saying goes that if Israel didn't have so many enemies, it would destroy itself from within.
I just saw on the BBC how another Mosque was ransacked by the Israelis.
And what about in the USA? The whole Jewish Defense League (JDL) conspiracy? Oh, didn't hear about that one on the largely Jewish controlled news, did you? To make a long story short, an organization that claims to uphold and protect Jewish interests was busted by the FBI for plotting to bomb Mosques in California. They got caught during the bomb material aquisition phase of their plotting. (Note that the FBI usually does do a good job of nipping things in the bud.) Is it terrorism when a Muslim ain't doing the bombing?
What about the recent pro-Israeli rally in the USA, when Paul Wolfowitz said that terrorists must be stopped, but Palestinians are people to and have also suffered... what did the rally of people say to that? They all booed! This is a sign of a huge problem... when large out spoken groups from either side view the other as being less than human.
Here is my tidbit of moral clarity: if you are responsible for killing people, you are committing a sin. If you are responsible for ethnic clensing, you are committing a sin. If you are responsible for stealing people's homes/land, you are committing a sin.
According to my moral clarity "tidbits", certain Israelis and certain Palestinians are committing sins. Now, for those slow on the upkeep: WHAT ABOUT THE MAJORITY OF INNOCENT PALESTINIAN AND ISRAELI PEOPLE? Why let a rabid sinful minority run the show?
It should be noted that Islam is roughly 500 years younger than Christianity too, so being stuck in roughly the 14th century makes sense, if you view religion has a social phenomenon, as I do. Religions go through life cycles.

PocketNES NES Emulator for the GBA
Gameboy Advance
Flash GBA Cartridge for "burning" NES, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance games
