Just curious, does anyone know the speed of American Sign Language vs. a regular qwerty touch typist in words per minute etc? I don't know much except for hello, and thank you, but I can sign those in one gesture a lot faster than I can type it. Besides it would seem that using ASL to input data into a computer would be less stressful (carpal tunnel syndrome, etc). Then again, it doesn't even necessarily have to be ASL, but perhaps a new gesture based language.
Just for kicks I decided to browse your website using lynx and all the inline images didn't transfer over too well. Do you have any plans for "enforcing" web standards so that politically oriented sites have to be machine-readable so the visually impaired or other disabled people who have the right to vote are able to access this information as easily as normally abled people?
In case anybody here hasn't read the book by Sun Tzu, they should. It's an excellent work, that may be better interpreted as The Art of Conflict. Anyway, on to my view, people go to war for the purpose of survival, or to enhance their power, real(land, resources, etc.) or perceived(other nations fear them). It was a lot easier to "rally the troops" when the general population's sources of information was limited or non-existent, people couldn't really make a sound judgement. "Why are we going to war? Cause the king said so." It also made it very easy to use the "us vs. them" mentality. Technology makes this much more difficult nowdays. People can actually communicate with people from other places via (newspaper, tv, radio, internet, etc.) To me, the amazing thing is that most of the time you find out that people are more alike than different, thus making it more difficult to do the "us vs. them" method. Sometimes I find it incredible that people forget that "evil" and "good" don't wear uniforms. It's the individual that makes the decisions. Perhaps we need to have personal wars. end semi-coherent comment.
To get rid of macro virus "ILOVEYOU" This only works if you haven't gotten to get that bugfix file that set the default IE page go to start menu, find files or folders, make sure checkbox for include subfolders is checked, look for *.vbs once search is complete highlight all files(shift-downarrow), then hit shift-del, say yes to all if prompted go to settings, control panel, internet options, set homepage to use blank. shutdown and reboot it also tries to dcc an executable if you have mirc
