You can switch between versamail and the "blazer" web browser without a hitch, so I'm not sure why the ssh client (best of breed that I could find) fails to do likewise, but then it also fails to provide a reasonable method of key entry as well, and fails to support multiple sessions to boot.
Not having written the code, nor even having reviewed it, I can't tell you why. But it's free, so until I'm willing to do better, I live with it and I'm thankful to the author for his contribution.

Every people has the right of self-determination. The EU is an abrogation of that right. It can only justify itself, in the end, through the annihilation of its members. A body that is so purely autophagous is not long for this world, my friend.
"Eat the rich", the poor cried. "See your neighbor to the right? He's rich!" the Chairman of the Board ordered his editors to pronounce on the airwaves.
Of course the Supreme Court, the chambers of which are dramatically decorated with the ten commandments, was the august body which made the determination that displaying the ten commandments so near to a courtroom was an offense of the highest order, worthy of their studious attention.
Ah, thank God the Frigid gold-digging bitch-whore is gone. Now you can rock all night with the idealistic hippie chicks. All the cash is the world won't make you happy, but a double-dose of geekchick lovin' will sure put a smile on your face.
Treos are badly merged chimeras. The Palm side brings down the phone side and vice versa. Too many bug-driven reboots. Windows ME is a tarpit of bloated complexity. Blackberries OTOH are extremely well designed and executed in every regard from what I've seen. Got ssh on the bb? VNC?
Nah, they think that "what's good for GM is good for America". Or AirBus/Europe, whatever. Same song, different singer.
The real solution is to put a single drop of slow-acting mercuric neurotoxin on their cellphones. As long as they're not held responsible, they won't be responsive. But if they are held accountable, their successors will have learned a lesson.
PalmOS 5 is called "Garnet" because of it's gem-like, almost mathematical perfection. It doesn't need any major updates because it is already virtually perfect. The features it lacks are actually bugs, relative to the function of a PDA or cellphone. The ease of use of PalmOS is near the limit for it's I/O and CPU facilities, unlike Windows, which has been declining for the past three years into a hopeless morass of filth and cruft. Now, when the I/O and CPU facilities change, PalmOS will be suboptimal, and have to converge to a new point. Or a successor will rise to take its place. But a port of Windows ME to a toaster with a terabyte of RAID is NOT going to be that successor.

I'm guessing that you didn't want to strain at the gnats, the better to spit out the camels he was trying to push down your throat, but from my perspective you're going to easy on him.
You can get very, very rich, without selling anything. Being rich means having wealth in reserve, and does not require that it be actually liquidated, merely that it be liquid.
Frankly, I'd have to take him for a troller in order to avoid a less charitable analysis. There's scarcely a single point in any of his posts on this thread that isn't riddled with inconsistencies, fallacies, or personal languages in the sense of Wittgenstein. Ideologues always seem like charicatured parrots to me. "A principled stand for truth", I imagine, is the justifying category, but such multilayered delusion tells me there's precious little connection here with the reality of ground truth.
I see that you're becoming acoustomed to being ruled by decree. Things are coming along nicely, wouldn't you say? Your children have been sold, to pay for a happy binge. It feels good, doesn't it? No need to worry about tomorrow. Walk with your eyes down; do not speak unless spoken to. When rank absurdities are repeated often enough from enough sources, "intelligent" people will conform their thoughts, because deviance is career-limiting. Epistemology is mere academic theory. Subservience to authority rules practice. We decide what is true, because we rule. We rule over you. Oh look, Janet Jackson's nipple! Pay attention now!
> which makes no sense, since a capitalist can only be as wealthy as the people he sells too
That explains why the trailer park is full of people wealthier than Sam Walton could ever dream.
Absurdity aside, I would recall to you that the wealth of the British Crown was built in large part on selling salt to Indian peasants, and opium to Chinese rice farmers. Well... that point doesn't entirely escape absurdity either, I admit.
> What the terrorists really want is to, as their name implies, instill terror.... > Why these individuals think the mass murder of civilians is a viable means of successfully promoting their (likely misguided) agenda is beyond me.
It's pretty bleeding obvious: People fear death. Thus, mass murder instills terror. Goal made.
You seem to think there is a political goal behind the terror. What are you, some sort of conspiracy theorist?
It would be pretty easy to take a ceramic knife onto a plane. Or, for that matter, a suitably constructed automatic weapon. Those wheelie bags all have telescoping handles which can be readily replaced with rifled steel gun barrels, and the remainder can be made of plastic or ceramic. Ammunition can be made of plastic as well, thoroughly sealed and washed of exterior nitrate contamination, and you'll never convince me there's a snowballs chance that a baggage screener will be able to tell that what appears to obviously be a pack of batteries is intended for disassembly into bullets.
Prohibiting all carry-on luggage is the only way to prevent the supposed bogeymen from getting you.
Israel isn't a line of defense, it's the goal. When they dump their nukes all over Asia, the game will be over. If Israel obeyed the law and stayed inside their U.N. mandated borders, there would be no Hezb'allah, no Hamas, no 250,000 dead in Iraq, no 2000 tonnes of ceramic uranium dust inflating the rates of cancer and causing horrific birth defects. 45% of the U.S. veterans of Gulf War 1 are on disability today, with uranium in their semen. Don't forget that the USUK have been bombing Iraq for 15 years now, never missed a week in all that time.
Iran is less of a goal than China. China is the primary petroleum consumer of the coming century. Anyone who wants to wage war in Asia and isn't motivated by racism is almost surely motivated by the goal of global depopulation, focussing on China and India. Iran is nicely situated for that purpose, of course, since it would consolidate territory from the Mediterranean all the way to Xinjiang in the hands of the Antichrist in Chief.
I hope this little diatribe survives 20 years, so that it can serve as an illustration of the overwhelming power of well-crafted propaganda to create the kind of delusional state the Voltaire spoke of when he quipped (as it is often translated): "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

Indeed, the very name of "al Qaeda" (which means "the toilet" in Arabic, but also "the (data)base") comes from a rolodex database of Mujahedeen supported by the CIA with arms sales in the late 70s and early 80s.
The commander of the Pakistani ISI (who two weeks earlier wired Muhammed Atta $100k) was meeting with Porter Goss, Lee Hamilton, Dick Cheney, and the bulk of the Senate intelligence commitee on Sept 11, 2001, and flew out the next day.
Do a little research of your own, and decide for yourself. Who puts out the "bin Laden" video tapes with the fat Usama, and who validates them to the mass media? President Musharaff of Pakistan claimed the man died in the mountains of Balochistan due to kidney failure in early December of 2001. Since he made numerous trips for dialysis treatment in Dubai from 96 to 98, I find President Musharaff's initial report much more credible than his later statements on the subject, after meeting with Ambassador Crocker.
The widely reported anomalous and highly profitable put options on UAL that were traced back to B.T Alex Brown (run by ex-CIA director Kronegard) might pay for an entire army of bad Usama impersonators.
I don't believe in the bogeyman. I don't need armies and prime contractors to defend me against sock puppets and hand-shadows. What I, and a couple billion others like me, really need is a few dedicated assassins to remove big bother before he decides a nice global pandemic would trim back the riff-raff and end global warming before all the good alpine ski slopes are bare.
If the bogeymen really wanted to be effective, they'd be taking out generals, senators, presidents, prime ministers, CEOs and chairmen of the board.
The fact that they aren't doing this demonstrates that "they" don't actually want to disincent wars, but to do the opposite, to insure that hoi polloi are cowering in the arms of big brother.
That's so borked. On the one hand, the whole point of terrorism is to incur large costs. And what greater price can one pay in the defense of justice than to give one's own life in its pursuit? That's what the consensus model holds "the terrorists" to be doing, sacrificing themselves in the pursuit of justice. Why would you even want to discourage that? A pure, unadulterated, love of evil?
On the otherhand, it's absolutely quixotic. Technology is constantly dropping the cost of incurring mass casualties. Destroying a city once required legions paid in salt and gold, later entire field artillery battalions, yet later entire bomber squadrons (with the factories that built them) and TNT blockbusters, later one bomber (and a billion-uninflated-dollar Manhattan project). Today, I could destroy a major city for roughly a million dollars. Any day someone could bang together the theory that ultimately leads to positron bombs that cost pennies by the megaton.
The solution is not to turn the whole world into a prison camp, in order to escape the consequences of perpetrating injustice. The solution is to bring the real criminals who create these injustices to answer for their crimes. These are the Clintons, Blairs, Burlusconis and Bushes who are laying waste to the entire planet to stroke their egos and fill their vaults. The perverted sadists who sell our children into slavery and holocaust in order to buy another day of power and control are the real terrorists.
Myth debunkers are all alike. Pompous asses, ignoramuses who try to make themselves feel more important and intelligent by fabricating ludicrous "skeptical" arguments that fool the credulous layperson with their double-speak.

Spain was one of the "willing" in the "coalition of the (you forgot Poland!) willing".
