    Your sheer stupidity is breathtaking.

    First of all, the 650 thousand number you claim is discredited. The most accurate approximation, done by the Iraq Body Count project, is only around 80,000.

    (But then again, you lefties called 100,000 people a "Million Man March", too, so obviously liberal math skills are as poor as liberal logic skills.)

    According to the surveys Saddam's Iraq was safety paradise to live in

    but only for the Ba'ath Party, and certainly not the Kurds

    You (in a general sense), are racist when you talk about the death of a few thousand american soldiers, but neglect to mention or even less, acknowledge the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi civilians.)

    Wanting my side to win is racism?

    Wow, what an utterly stupid leap of logic. Then again, I'm not surprised that a liberal would resort to cries of racism when confronted by an overwhelming set of facts that discredits their flimsy position in a debate.

    It's not racism to not be upset that people that want to kill as many Americans as possible are taking dirt naps. Sounds to me that the group that wants to kill Americans have race issues, not the Americans that want to fight back.

    + Mass Graves aren't being filled
    + Females are attending School

    Agreed. The person who leaked this document is a traitor in the mold of Hanoi Jane Fonda, John Walker Lindh, and whoever leaked the classified doucuments on the Wiretap program to the NY Times.

    How ironic that the crowd complaining about the War On Terror are the same crowd working to subvert the war effort through actions like these. The Vichy French are alive and well.

    It's time we start questioning these people's patriotism.

    Considering that Microsoft paid off Panasonic to drop Blu-Ray (despite Blu-Ray being ahead in sales of players and media), I'd suggest the B word is "Buy-Off".

    (Of course, MS denies that they paid Panasonic anything, but as far as I know the NY Times is sticking to it's story. Maybe it's semantics - say a personal check from Gates is not the same as a payment from Microsoft...)

    Me too. (Hey what is this, a Usenet discussion with a bunch of AOL'ers?)

    I bought the 60 GB PS3 because it had backwards compatibility. I will play through and revisit old games that I haven't played in awhile, and the ability to now play these upscaled to HD is a bonus.

    Backwards compatibility is also one reason why I purchased a PS2.

    Funny, in the article those framerates for Quake III show CFS beating the pants off of SD.

    Besides, the biggest barrier to 3d games in Linux is video card drivers (ATI, I'm looking at you!) as 3D drivers in Linux, even the proprietary ones, have tended to be unstable.

    Link to article discussing the "soft-money" donations, and how the GOP is wiping the floor with the Dems.

    Your OpenSecrets link is misleading and inaccurate, because politicians are not required to report the number of sub $200 donations. When you look at the $5 and $10 donations, etc, and do the math correctly, the GOP comes out way ahead of the Democrats right now.

    Campaign Finance Reform helped the GOP, too. From that article: The Supreme Court's ruling on campaign finance gives the Republicans, who raise far more in small donations, a big advantage in next year's elections for the White House and Congress.

  20. Re:It *does* reflect thinking of the candidates on Will Linux Win the Next Presidential Election? · · Score: 3, Informative

    This is also mirrored in funding. Dems (especially this cycle) will tend to get lots of smaller donations, while Republicans will get larger and fewer donations. Check the news stories.

    You should check the news stories, because you've got the donation patterns backwards. The GOP gets smaller, but more, donations, and the Democrats get larger and fewer donations from Hollywood and George Soros types.

    From TFA: The OS used was Windows XP Pro SP2.
    A 32 bit OS. The real strength of the AMD 64 architecture is running in 64 bit mode - benchmarking this chip compared to other 64 bit architectures would be far more helpful than running a 32bit Sandra tests and Photoshop tests on it.

    Not a very helpful benchmark. I'd like to see these chips compared running 64 bit OS's - and compare the speed and throughput of applications like Apache, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, PHP / Perl scripting, and raw image processing - not Photoshop, where most of the time is spent waiting on the user to do something.
