You also seem to be ignorant of the fact that the guy who stirred up all this trouble did it deliberately, and has close ties to Al Qaeda. What do you think would happen, say in the deep south of the US, if a bunch of moslems started burning US flags ? Or drawing mustaches on figures of christ on the cross ?
But, if a bunch of rednecks violently attacked said Muslims, they would get thrown in prison. When will the Muslim rioters face justice for their acts?
I never heard of Irving Rubin, but Eric Rudolph was considered a criminal. We didn't glorify him. We didn't join him in large numbers to bomb all those clinics. When the governments of Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Syria start arresting their fanatics instead of cheering them on, THEN you can compare Islam to Christianity.
On one board I used to visit, I couldn't talk about my wristwatch. It came out as "wris****ch". I made it a point to talk about my wris****ch every chance I got. They also censored "ty****" or "ra****" because those words contained a racial slur.
AFAIK, nobody has said that China didn't have a totalitarian government. The Party Geezers merely stated that only a totalitarian govt would censor information. Which, of course China is, and does.
Wow! You're as old as I am! My first PC was also one of the Tandy 1000's. I never put Windows on it, but Desqview did a good job of multitasking even on that puny machine.
If Vista is done right, it will slow it down. No OS can protect against total stupidity, but a decent design with decent defaults (which XP lacks) can make a big difference.
The first is happening right now. In my neighborhood, the local grocery store has bilingual signs, the neighborhood newspaper is bilingual, and most of the businesses say "Hablamos Espanol". And I don't live in the Southwest, California, or Florida.
As for the second, anyone who wants a job in one of those businesses will have a better chance if s/he speaks Spanish. I'm sure most people are still monolingual, but the percentage of multilingual people is increasing.
If I tell my boss I think he's a complete asshole and a clueless fuck, I won't end up dead or in jail. If I publically state that our President is a complete asshole and a clueless fuck, I STILL won't end up dead or in jail. Yes, there are consequences to saying the wrong thing, even in a free society, but there's a huge difference between getting fired and getting fried!

I thought of ieBook, but that might make people think of a web browser.
Probably, but I bet your driveway would be messy.
Once again, Uranus is the butt of a bad joke.

As the parent poster says, Quicken for Mac sucks in one end, and blows out the other. Out of the 5 financial programs I've tried, MacQuicken is #5!
For that matter, neither do the vast majority of the insane people!
I'm tempted to dust off an old book of his telling how the future of computing was with OS/2 on the PowerPC. :)
The horror-struck gasps from the liberals reading that released still more CO2 into the air!

YOU might be able to do that. How many non-geeks could?
Some people never put their phone in their pockets. They have it surgically attacked to their ear.

How does that differ from windows+m?

IMO, Romance languages aren't that easy. The verb conjugations in Spanish are a PITA, and I ASSume the other Romance languages are too.

Yeah, but if some loon blows away 12 people and then shoots himself, it's still a suicide.
The difference is that Dr-DOS was a very good product. NAV really IS malware!
It's not much different now, except they'll be paying Micro$oft instead of $ymantic.
I haven't tried AVG, so I can't say how good it is. I've tried Avast, and it works a lot better than Norton's crap.
Nope, no monthly fee for me. I've tried both products, and though they both suck, Quicken sucks less than Money.
