Two books I must recommend, "Imperial Hubris" and "Jawbreaker." The first speak of how bush's arrogance is putting us in harm's way, the second is an on the ground account of how the suits got in the way of the capture of Osama.
I have been urging people to read "Rebuilding America's Defenses" and to get familiar with Leo Strauss and those in the bush junta who are remaking America to fit their interpretation of Strauss's autocratic philosophy.
You are right. Why should Osama attack again when bush is dancing to his tune?
If you remember some of the goals spelled out by Osama. First Osama wanted the US military out of Saudi Arabia. Bush pulled our military out. He wanted to goad us into war on their turf. The bombings of US interests were unsuccessful, Clinton didn't take the bait. He used law enforcement instead of the military. Out of frustration the planned a big attack that would get our attention. Bush took the bait and invaded Afghanistan. A limited war in Afghanistan is not quite what he wanted, but it seemed to keep him satisfied.
Where bush went wrong was his invasion of Iraq. bush has delivered beyond Osama's wildest wet dream. The longer we are there, the better for Osama's agenda (drain our treasury, weakening our military, and weakening us world wide). As long as bush delivers what Osama wants, we will not be invaded.

What is going on is a power grab. Cheney is a big believer in an imperial president (Read up on Leo Strauss and the neo conservatives). Cheney and his fellow neo cons believe in a society far different from what is spelled out in our constitution. They want a dictatorship. The term "decider" is a newspeak word for dictator. People should have taken note when bush openly stated his support of a dictatorship back in Dec 18 2000.
Gonzo's pronouncement is not a surprise to us in the trenches. We have been watching the neo cons working toward a Straussian inspired police state. They didn't need the threats when they had control of the media. His threats are a sign they are losing control.
We all need to get informed and get involved. Time is running out. Maybe leaks should not hit the media first, they should be spread to tens of thousands first, then published. That way there will be too many people to imprison.
When they threatened legal action against the people of Blackbox Voting, we spread the data all over the world. They couldn't stop us, there were too many of us. Rep Dennis Kucinich went as far as publishing the data on his website and dared the junta to come after him.
As far as investors are concerned, they haven't seen good growth for years. They've been flat for 5 years. Apple and Dell have shown growth MS wishes they still had.

computer. Most often the hero is on a Mac, and the villain uses a PC.
State sponsored attacks would be a larger threat, but still I would not underestimate al Qaeda. Underestimating your enemy is what has us in the mess we are in with Iraq.
Diebold has been the worst, but ES&S is also very suspicious. Both conpanies top programmers have ties to religious cults who's aim is the converting the US from a secular state into a theocratic state. Many of bush's inner circle and his most virulent supporters are also involved in the Dominionist/Reconstructionist cult.
BTW, Diebold machines also have an unprotected IR port. Why?
I am a hot pepper addict. Not only does it relieve pain, it really can get you high. Tonight I smothered some Jambalya with some Melinda's Special Reserve Habanero sauce. It made me feel better.
It appears that Pixar will have a lot of control over creativity. They will also have creative control over theme parks. Disney needs the creative forces inside the company. One of Disney's top animators went to Pixar, now he is back working for Disney.
Apple doesn't need to buy Disney, they have a mole inside the boardroom. I'm sure there will be some sharing of intellectual property between Jobs and Disney, and a lot more Macs glowing in neutral colored rooms deep in the bowels of Disney.
I can appreciate some restrictions on use of copyright material, but they want too much control over products we pay inflated prices for. They say we are hurting the artist, but what really hurts the artist are the draconian and deceptive contracts the artists have to work under. You can have a Platinum recording and end up in debt to the record company because they shift the financial risks to the artist and assume none for themselves. Many of your favorite artist barely make a living wage even though they are generating millions for their labels.
Ask Toni Braxton. She made millions for her record company and ended up being in debt to her label.
It could work. Yesterday I saw a man jogging,

I am still looking for a suitable descriptive name for this form of multi tasking.
I believe four of their requests were turned down. bush doesn't like any challenge to his authority.
Another possible reason was the taps were on political opponents. You don't want someone outside your circle to know what is going on if you are engaged in criminal activity.
I wonder if McCain and Kerry were monitored by NSA?

It is not because we are more secure.

What a stupid Idea. It has failure written all over it. When MS gets outside its core business it usually fails.
The Xbox is an exception, but that success is not assured. They're one big blunder, one missed opportunity away from obscurity.
bush? You can't hide the comics from him, he gets real angry when they do that.

I just wanted to put it out there to spark discussion of the software.
the Intel Mac is still new on the market. I am sure more solutions will appear over time.
might be the way to go. Parallels.com
Just install Linux or other free OS's on the machines or just bundle various Linux CD's with the box and tell MSFT to fuck off.
Now that Apple will run XP natively, there will be another avenue for pirates.

Smoking in public is a no no in California. Medical Marijuana is acceptable though. Might as well go out grinning.

I read last week where they were raising the restrictions. Yeah, they may be hiring, but will they be hiring Americans, or guest workers?

Roe Vs Wade affirmed a right to privacy in our constitution. Maybe we should stand up for our right to privacy before Roe Vs Wade gets overturned.
I'd also recommend "Body of Secrets" by James Bamford. He traces the history of the NSA.
It wasn't too long ago that it was a big no no for the NSA to spy on Americans.
KBR just received a contract to build emergency detention centers across the US. The contract was for either 350 or 380 million dollars.
