NEW YORK -- CNN is reporting explosions in the Afghanistan capital of Kabul. Videophone images from Kabul show flaring bursts of light and flame.
Afghanistan is where suspected terrorist mastermind Osama bin Laden is being sheltered. Earlier today, the country's hardline Taliban rulers rejected suggestions that bin Laden was responsible for terror attacks in New York and Washington.
Nic Robertson of CNN says missiles have started flying across the city of Kabul. It is dark in Kabul, and tracer fire can be clearly seen over the city. Robertson says he hears the sound of large missiles exploding in the city. The biggest fire has broken out somewhere near the center of Kabul, perhaps a fuel dump, with flames leaping high into the air.
He says he estimates that the rockets are traveling several hundred miles an hour, which is characteristic of cruise missiles. Fire somewhere near the center of Kabul, perhaps a fuel dump, with flames leaping high into the air.
The rest of the city of Kabul still has electricity.
The United States suspects Osama bin Laden (pictured, below) in terrorist attacks, two U.S. officials say.

The problem is the OS is doing too many things that should be done with programs that exist in the OS shell
Why is this a problem?
Remeber Gator and its Ilk. Well there are going to be more of these worthelss spyware/Adware programs that will weasel their way onto our computers. Most of these psuedoviri attack the browsers and cause problems there (I have a client who installs damn near all of the and has managed to f' up explorer to the point where it can no longer handle ssl). This will become the norm as more plugins on needed to view the latest shiny thing on websites.
Perhaps most/.ers are 1337 enough to avoid these problems but my Mom isn't
Back to the point (I think I have one). As it stands now when some plugin (spyware) overwrites a critical dll or two in exploder and it stops working I can fire up nutscrape and redownload exploder and with a little luck get things working again.

really. look at the number of comments, almost all of them are brutal flames
If Katz's stories only recieved about 20 comments he would be gone in a week.
Today while reading one of the keenspot comics, I had a popunder add open a bunch of other crappy little windows including one which *would not close* (I had to quit exploder) then to my horror the download manager anounced that it was done downloading some casinos.EXE file.
I was pissed, but I don't blame the site owner, or really even keenspot for that loser online casinos action
As a twenty something year old male who is aware of AOLs "features" there is no way in hell that I would ever consider using AOL (execept maybe AIM)....
Unless it was the only service available for use on my PS2 to allow me to go head to head online If this is the only way to go online I certainly wouldn't want to pay for two ISP's and I might just cancle the one that doesn't work for all of my boxes
Sounds like AOL finaly figured out my number The Bastards
My Mom just boughtherself a couple o'gen old palm for less than $200 and its numbers seem pretty close to this things. Slap a case like I have on my multimeter and its golden. why would it take $10 M to figure out how to weatherproof a palm pilot (it already runs on non recargeable batterys)?
That said what the hell does a peasant farmer need with a palm pilot?

It seems like some time in the mid 80's there was a line of color change t-shirts I can't remeber the brand.
What I remeber most about them is that theymade your armpits really stand out.
would a color change house or car suffer the same emabrrasing fate <KIDVOICE> Look ma that house is all dark around the bedrooms , whats that spot on the wall? </KIDVOICE>
I think I will keep this away from my swingin batclor pad and just let my groovy color changing fungi do the work for me.
Much of the edu s/w is badly done in VB and hardly works in windoze, I can't imagine it working at all in any other enviroment, but there truly is no feeling like paying $80 for a buggy VB program that feels like it could have been done better with HTML and Javascripts.
Give me games Iand I will give up windoze.
Windoze is very bad, but until I can get decent, up to date games I just can't justifie installing a new OS on my computer.
adding to my need to keep using windoze are Professors at my school requiring me to use "educational" software that will only run on a Windoze computer.
until these problems are addressed I can't see how the market can support as many LINUX vendors as it does
In the article it mentions that this platform can play DVDs. If it's open source and can play DVD's wouldn't it have the much maligned DeCSS code incorporated in its code?
Wouldn't this make selling (or even advertising) this thing illegal
I can already feel the MPAA legal teams warming up

KNX 1070 newsradio has news on this and seems to be handling the load fairly well
they also have links to a lot of good images and videos
