    I think it's interesting that these people are playing Starcraft and Counter-Strike, and not the Sims online or 'There.'

    As reported earlier today on this very site, the US has been e-mailling Iraqi officials in an attempt to get them to defect.

    I think things would change greatly if everybody had all the material wealth they ever wanted.

    Not only could it lead to a 'not-having-to-work-with-our-hands-"utopia"', but it could make every country a first-world country.

    Imagine the end of world hunger.

    It's an implimentation of VoIP in an attempt to replace the analog phone system. It's being done by Stanford's in-house phone company.

    Things like that are hapening in the US, at Stanford.

    I like how the person or people wanting to discipline the kid, either by swearing at him or by simply 'teaching him to behave' are posting as annonymous cowards.

    Yes that's a fabulous idea. If your kid is noisy, you should tell them to shut the fuck up.

    Oh, wait, no.

    I think you're right in that they'd like to keep things the way they are. However, can you honestly say to me that you think we won't be at least 80% switched over to VoIP or something very similar in the next 10 years?

    I like how the man peddling the fear is posting as an AC.

    I'm not saying we shouldn't inspect Iraq, and I'm not saying Saddam isn't hiding anything. I am absolutely positive he is hiding things, and I am absolutely positive that he is a maniac. Nevertheless, unless we can prove he has weapons of mass destruction, and unless he refuses to let us take them away, we can't attack him. Period.

    I was being sarcastic, Bush wants this war for three reasons.

    1. Revenge. Lil' Bush wants to get big ol' Saddam because he threatened to kill Big Daddy Bush. 2. Oil. Bush is probably soaking in it as we speak. Have you noticed the preponderance of 'if you do drugs you support terrorism,' and the lack of 'if you buy oil you support terrorism?' 3. Distraction. Think sputtering economy, failure to kill bin Laden, the number of Enron 'advisors' in the Bush white house, and the plain and simple fact that Bush is about as smart as lettuce. Without the photosynthesis.

    Well, we can now pull Saddam out of Iraq at the speed of light, all we need is a gravity generator.

    Ideas, anyone?

    Gravity works because we believe in it. Just stop believing in it and it will stop working.

    Not working? You must not be trying hard enough.

    Yes, let's stop the greedy people who ignore patents on life-saving techniques. They're the greedy ones, not the people patenting things which could save lives.

    I've decided to take out a patent on combing two parts of hydrogen with one part of oxygen. Don't like it? Tough.
