No, you're wrong, it's fashionable to envy and hate the US. It's trendy and lets people think they're enlightened in some way.
Now you're gonna say that Bush is sane, god and new year comes on friday the 13th
What a well thought-out, lucent argument! I am now thoroughly convinced!
Yeah, right tell me about it. I think I know it a bit better this one than you.
Woah! Such a valid argument has convinced ALL of us now.
If you'd read my post you'd see that I regret that war even exists. But reason that exists lies on America
Somebody has to have the balls to enforce 12 years of broken resolutions. The UN won't do it. What ever happened to those "grave consequences" that were supposed to be part of the first resolution?

We need to understand the situation for what it is. Bush has tried to link Al Qaida unsuccessfully with Iraq so that he can take his war on terrorism to Iraq and get his friends some cheap oil. The world laughed in his face because he had no evidence of any Iraq-Al Qaida ties.
Bush is attacking because the UN won't bother to enforce 12 years of broken resolutions.
The world laughed because they have financial interests.

If the rest of you can hold the world together until November 2004, we'll be able to finally dump this dangerous frat boy.
Good luck. Polls show 70% of Americans in favor of this war.
Clinton was impeached for lying under oath. By the way, he bombed Iraq too. Even Daschle supported it. We also bombed Yugoslavia. Were you "ill" then?
Why does Saddam get to stay in power another decade and break even more resolutions and never disarm just because you have a chip on your shoulder against Bush? I may not entirely agree with this course of action myself, but I realize Saddam would not comply with any other option. SOMEBODY has to enforce authority over there. The UN certainly isn't doing it.

The UN has become irrelevant. If they won't enforce 12 years of broken resolutions, they weakened themselves.
According to this, Tobey is fine and the sequel is a go. This was just a rumor going around.
Why is Slashdot posting movie rumors? If we're gonna do that, at least keep up with the current Superman fiasco at Warner Bros....
The whole point is that they went OVERBOARD on the default XP gui, adding eye-candy that added nothing to usability while detracting from the cleanliness of the interface. They're trying to do a "me too" cute interface in competition with Mac, and NOT succeeding.
Detracting from the cleanliness of the interface? Since they added and removed nothing and only changed the look of things, I'm not sure how they could detract anything. In fact, the way the close button is colored differently, buttons are made larger, and the fact that clicking on the bottom-most pixel of the taskbar now registers as a button depression, things are easier for quickly-clicking users. And these are just small examples. They also moved things off the desktop and onto the start menu, actually adding to cleanliness at least for the often cluttered desktop.
Yes, I know you can switch to "classic" mode, making it work just like W2k... but then you have the W2k gui.
No, you still have the XP GUI, just in a different Visual Style taken from 2K.
My comment is not that XP itself is worse, but that the GUI is worse. Switching the gui back DOES solve the problem (in my eyes), but does not address how bad the XP UI is in the first place.
I'm not sure what the difference is. All Visual Styles does is change the way widgets are drawn. The UI itself isn't modified other than looking more aesthetic.
Karma whoring? You can't get any better than "excellent" anyways, dufus. Check those things out before you sling insults randomly next time.
What point was there in your post other than to slag on XP and get a high score? Everyone knows ripping on Microsoft for silly things is a guaranteed +5.
And lastly, it DOES relate to the article directly because they're trying to emulate the XP gui...I personally think they'd be better off emulating the W2k gui.
What, pray tell, is the difference between XP's and 2K's interface, aside from a few options being moved or integrated into something else?
Other posters here are complaining about how little XP really changes anything and isn't worth trying, and you're saying XP changes enough that it's not the same GUI anymore.
I agree with everyone saying the GUI wasn't changed much at all, but most of the important changes were internal or not immediately noticable.
Yes, that's MY opinion... I'm fully willing to consider others, but simply saying "you're wrong" and calling me a karma whore is NOT in any way constructive, and contributes NOTHING to the discussion, sorry. Go away now. q:]
I can say you're wrong and karma whoring all I want. Let the mods sort it out. I didn't just call you wrong. I pointed out your little "issue" wasn't an issue at all. Sorry, not gonna leave!
That is the only way in fact, that linux will ever overtake the MS Windows desktop. Most non techies cannot easily make the (massive in their eyes) switch to a new desktop and OS. Embrace & extend works, is proven, and is a good strategy, and we should back it up in order to get people off the Monopoly when we can..
Wrong, the only way it will ever overtake MS Windows is by not trying to play catchup with it, but instead making something completely new and innovative that is BETTER. But instead, this is yet another Windows-transition-project with the excuse that it's easier for the users.
So you're saying the agents didn't simulate intelligence artificially? As in, "artificial intelligence?"
Do we really want orcs with actual real intelligence, who learn halfway through battle how to dig a tunnel and get the hell away from Helm's Deep or not fall down from a charging horse?
I'll bite. Grab a copy of the extended DVD's documentary discs and realize how much of an ass you sound like since a large majority of FOTR was miniatures, models, and masks. The same for TTT and I am sure ROTK.
Moria, Helm's Deep, the Argonauth, Rivendell...I could go on and on. They freaking GREW Hobbiton.
Wow! I have to enter an arcane command at the prompt that may require me to be root just to get mp3s that don't skip! I can't believe that "crap" about optimizations either!
Neo is revived because when she kisses Neo, she reveals how she is in love with him. The Oracle prophesied that the person Trinity falls in love with would be the One, so she was fulfilling that prophecy.
As for the "form of fusion" thing some people can't get over, I figure the reason they used humans as the batteries is because it was a convenient way to enslave us and reap benefits from it.
Also, you should've played it with the hints system disabled that told you your next target location...felt like Super Metroid again, with the exploring and exploring to find that one place you didn't go.

Thank you for that.
He wasn't asking for them to justify...he was asking for them to explain the reasons the government has given for why we are at war.
That's one of the oldest jokes I've heard on the net.

Perhaps OS X needs better keyboard navigation because it is more keyboard-oriented? The statements are not contradictory.

That's the thing with most Linux defenders.
If something is wrong with your hardware, it's a configuration problem of yours.
If cut-and-paste isn't working, it's just because those apps your using aren't written to take advantage of it. X is flawless and flexible.
If you don't like the horribly inconsistent window managers, libraries, and layers, you're just "confusing inconsistency with choice."
There's always an excuse for everything.
The whole point of your post was to say how downhill XP went after 2k? What does that have to do with this article?
There's this neat feature in XP. You go to Display Properties and switch the Visual Style to classic mode.
Wow, looks like your dillemna was solved.
