    probably because saddam wasn't terribly religious until he realized he could benefit by flipping the 'jihad' card?

    the provisional authority is pretty much working off of sharia(sp?) law now. hopefully the women there can get organized and be sure to be heard in the future.

    iraq was, for some time, the intellectual capital of the world. there are a lot of smart people there. unfortunately, there are a lot of stupid (religious fundamentalists) people too.

    yea, and?

    those are the only tools in the tree because, like you said, that's all there is. if there were suitable replacements and the replacement effort was worth it, those would be the first to go.

    tendra may one day be good, but it's not there yet, nor does it work for all arch(1).

    then there is the plan9 toolchain. all ready to go, smokes gcc, but the license isn't quite right. search for theo's thoughts on it on google groups. here's a shortcut to one such discussion

    i haven't used them in about 2 years, but it was a pretty slick service. i was one of the first X to sign up (i think 1000), so i got it for free

    basically, you tell the peeps billing you to send your bills to pmb.com. pmb.com scans in the bills, and you could download the scan in pdf and do whatever with it. then, you could pay your bills ... eg, pay $50 of phone on 12/4, etc.

    when i moved, i lost interest because i could pay all of my bills online (i couldn't when i was using pmb.com), but having it all in one place was definitely nice

    i'm not sure exactly how they made $$ on the deal, but i think it was when you'd pay part of a bill, they'd stick that in a bank account somewhere, earn like $2 interest after 3 days, then pay your bill. not sure tho
