Don't just SAY he plans to spend money on entitlement programs, back it up.
The fact is Gore says we need to pay down the Reagan debt. Because of that debt we pay over $300 billion for debt interest each year. Guess who gets that money? The rich.
Talk about an entitlement program... It goes to Republicans so they want to cut taxes to keep the debt going.
Bush honest? He's honest that he'll let corporations freely pollute, let Microsoft off the hook in exchange for campaign cash, and won't do a damned thing about Global Warming.
Did youknow that his speech was plagairized? HE didn't know that because he didn't write even a single word of it.
My FAVORITE in his speech was when he said he won't say things based on polls. Wanna guess where he got that line? FROM A POLL!
Why are you surprised? Don't be surprised to see free speech trampled and people beaten in the streets at the first whiff of Republicanism returning. Ask any Chilean, Guatamalen, Argintinean, El Salvadoran or Nicaraguan what Republicans do. (The ones who weren't killed by it,Imean.)
May of you aren't old enough to remember Republicanism, but let me just frop a hint: How many people in his administration did Bush grant pardons just before he left office, and why?
One more - Reagan's first act as president was to pardon some FBI agents who had been jailed for breaking into peace group buildings, etc... ? (By the way his second act was to get rid of the solar panels on the White House...)
Microsoft doesn't share the complete API set, so no one else can make a product as integrated as Office -- and you can't buy a computer without Windows on it because of Microsoft's restrictive contracts, so you HAVE TO use office.
But BeOS with Gobe Productive is pretty darn good.

Your message is an EXAMPLE of the kind of age discrimination programmers over 40 encounter when they try to get a job. I can tell from your writing that you wouldn't hire someone over 40.
You probably wouldn't agree that it's because they are over 40. You'd say (actually you said) the technology is changing too fast, Peter Principle, and a bunch of other common code-words that get you killed when you get into an age discrimination lawsuit. Saying all those things IS age discrimination - you were speaking generally which means it is your belief/mindset about older programmers.
Younger people tend to have these same negative preconceptions but are in positions of deciding who to hire. A person who would never discriminate will be saying stuff about should be in management, technology has passed the skills, etc... REGARDLESS of the actual skills of the applicant.
I see it every day. I also see a lot of companies where no one is older than 30. Look around you, people over 40 can't get jobs in Silicon Valley.
How about a serious discussion of this? There are a LOT of BeOS users now, and currently a growth rate of a million users a month (at least THIS month...)

BeOS DOES HAVE Flash and RealPlayer.
These things have flat panel displays. That's why the price is so high.
That comes from oil company campaign contributions.
Think about what will happen if we elect two oil company CEOs to be President and VP!
Don't forget, one of Reagan's first acts as President was to take the solar panels off the White House.
Check out the solar power module for laptops at Real Goods.

What corruption? He got a blow job. Big deal.
Allthe other charges have proven false.
The Repubicans spend 8 years making baseless accusations and then run a campaign saying they want to reduce the partisan tone of Washington!

Cute. Corporations were created by the government, for one thing.
Youcould stand to learn a little history before posting that stuff.

What it's all coming down to in America is we are choosing one dollar = one vote over one person = one vote.
