    In all seriousness though, it's nice to have a little bit different viewpoint of life in Baghdad. I really thought that everyone must be staying home all day long, afraid to leave their homes, given the way the US media reports the conditions there.

    In concept it was great, it wasn't until December when we came out and said here's where the problems are with Linux, and we have a program where you can deal with that.

    Q: What was the reception to that?
    A: It seemed everyone in the industry was either positive or neutral to that, except for IBM. IBM had a violent reaction to it, even though it wasn't targeted directly at them.


    Everyone was either positive or neutral to it? What are you smoking today Darl? Give me an f'en break.

    Actually America should probably look to Europe and you should stop making comments like that you idiot.

    You have stupid laws and allow corperations to bribe your government. You bomb every country you don't like and bush is a gimp doing what his daddy never finished off.


    Way to represent Europre with your clear, concise thoughts. How does this comment:

    Does Europe forget its past so quickly?
    I don't see how any European can throw that word around so freely. It's disgusting really. Give me a break.


    make me an idiot? I just don't get how, after seeing the horrible destruction that WWII brought to Europre, and the millions of people exterminated by Hitler's regime, that people in Europe can so freely toss around those types of accusations. The only assumption that I can draw is that you do not fully understand the English language.

    You have stupid laws
    Oh yes... we're the _only_ ones who have bad laws.

    allow corperations to bribe your government.

    Give me a break. Yeah, the US is the only place that has a government that takes bribes. Every government across the world takes bribes. In some countries it's expected and required to get anything done.

    You bomb every country you don't like

    Recent bombing by the US: Iraq (to get rid of a horrible leader (and (lets be honest here) help stabilize our oil supply and the region) and Afghanistan (who harbored terrorists, including one who was directly responsible for killing 3000+ people in New York). I belive there are a number of other countries we don't like as well. For example, have we bombed France yet?

    bush is a gimp doing what his daddy never finished off

    He's a gimp? Like I said before, clear and concise. Amazing!

    Get back to class, your teacher is wondering where you went.

    Explain SUV's

    Having owned three of them (no, not the monster ones, Jeep Grand Cherokees) it's pretty simple. I don't want a huge H2 or anything. Or a Ford Excursion. Or an Escalade.

    I live in Minnesota. I want a vehicle that can handle the weather/ice. I want a vehicle with room to move stuff. I like a vehicle with some decent power (which is a safety feature, in my opinion) An All-wheel drive Minivan would work, but I also want something that looks decent.

    My next SUV will most likely be a Ford Explorer or something along the lines of a Toyota 4Runner.

    Let's see, there is a washer and dryer about eight feet from my desk. If my wife is running both, I have to turn off one of my computers, or the circuit can't take it. There is, for some bizarre reason, only one circuit in the basement, and I've got a ton of equipment plugged into it.

    Have another circuit run. Wouldn't be too expensive, especially in an unfinished basement, probably $150-$200, maybe less (it really invovles very minimal work - run a pair of wires, and put in a new circuit breaker). It could even be written off as a business expense.

    That's nothing. I got a D in my calc class last semester and I didn't even go for the second half of the semester.

    Similar thing happened to me. I went to class twice in the first two weeks, turned in one assignment (got 73% on it) and the dropped out of the school (death in the family) and later transfered to a new one. At the end of the semester I took at a look at the final grades, just for the hell of it, and I somehow got a C in that class, and had withdrawls in the rest.
