    Firewalling with only a single NIC is difficult when most consumer level switches don't support vlan tagging.

    And your customer ADSL connection is so fast that a USB2 ethernet connection would be an unacceptable slowdown.

    Iran has elections, but they matter not a jot as the public don't get to elect the Revolutionary Guard, the only ones with real power.

    Correct in principle, if not in detail (It's the supreme leader, not the guardians of the revolution, who has the power.)

    So why does the US get all twisted about what the "president", Ahmadinejad, who has no control over foreign policy says and does?

    The Jews weren't killed by the soldiers (the people that killed them may have been soldiers, but being a guard in a prison camp and being on the front line were mutually exclusive).

    This is a myth. Frontline Werhmacht troops massacred Jews on the Eastern front. It wasn't just the nasty SS.

    My n900 did need an app instaling to get root access, but that app came from the official repo. I guess Nokia were worried about someone getting root and going all "THE SHEER UNADULTERATED POWER! BWAAHAHHAHHA! rm -fr /" or something,

    You are claiming that the Democrats voted for "Health Care Reform" bacuse they are listening to their constituents? The same constituents that overwhelmingly opposed its passing, and now that it has passed overwhelmingly favor its repeal?

    This is a lie.

    The "majority" against the crappy health care reform was split about 50-50 between people who thought it went too far and people who thought it didn't go far enough. Even so it wasn't "overwhelming".

    There is no "overwhelming" majority for repealing it

    So thanks for the endorsement white-haired dude, and I want America to know that I'm like totally ready to lead.

    And now I want to present my energy policy for America, just as soon as I finish reading this article on where I can fly to to get the best tan. (Reads magazine)

    Oh, Maui. Love's it. (Puts magazine aside)

    OK, so here's my energy policy:

    Barack wants to focus on new technologies to cut foreign oil dependency, and Mccain wants offshore drilling.

    Well why don't we do a hybrid of both candidates ideas?

    We can do limited offshore drilling with strict environmental oversight, while creating tax incentives to get Detroit making hybrid & electric cars.

    That way the offshore drilling carries us until the new technologies kick in which will then create new jobs and energy independence.

    Energy crisis solved! I'll see you at the debates, bitches.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go pick out a vice-president. I'm thinking Rihanna.
