You should try out woody. I have it on my powerbook (lombard) and it works great. Far preferable to the read Hat derivation (albeit out of date) which I was running a month ago.
I love how in this country of ours, the US for those international readers, we ignore what scientists, say, good or bad. Only in a place like the US do have a president who ignores what scientists say about global warming, and national missile defense.
We are not curbing C02 emmisions because "there is not enough scientific evidence of global warming." At the same time, any scientist will tell you that shooting an intercontinental missile is harder than shooting a moving rifle bullet with another bullet. After reading some of the comments here, it is clear there are a lot of libratarians in this audience, so you should all appriciate how hard that is.
We are always going to ignore scientists in the name of consumer happiness and 'good' economics. If its not going to be global warming, we are going to screw ourselves some other way. For those of you who believe that global warming is a myth, you are hopelessly ignorant, and unfortunately your ignorance effects me and every other person on this planet.

PS: AI is the worst example that could be used for this commentary. I love how at the end of the movie the alien is talking about the "genius of the human race." HA!!! So smart that we worked ourselves into extinction! Sorry for those of you who have not seen it. Actually, I'm not, its the worst movie I have seen in a long time.
Get used to it. The rich/powerfull always create the view of history which lasts. The same goes for those who win wars. By winning they basically get to say whatever they want. Take a look back through history. The people who win can say what they want becasue they kill everyone else off. Plain and simple. Its not right, but who said war was fair?
If you really want to quesiton America's rewriting of history, take a quick look at the land we prosper from, and remember the millions of natives who were here before us. Japan's deaths were trivial in comparison. We have been feeding on that blood for a long time, and celebrating Thanksgiving with big ass smiles on our faces as we stuff our selves.
