I get the feeling that you are dead-set in your facts, so I'm writing this for all those who would read your post and pause a second in consideration
Some clarifications:
There is no evidence of an Iraqi nuclear weapons program. Show me this evidence if you can find it. Recently it was revealed that the documents that insisted upon the program's existence were indeed faked.
Show me the evidence of a connection between Al Queda and Iraq. Again, this is something that has been spoon-fed to us by the present administration. How many times did Bush use the term "Al Queda-type organizations" in his press conference two weeks ago? This administration will always play to our 9/11 sympathies to point at targets.
Finally, tell me whether Suddam poses an immediate threat to the United States, and how by removing him the United States will be a safer place--all of Bush's intelligence authorities tell a post-Suddam Iraq increases our chance of being attacked. Tell me how we can deal with the cultural conflict that has been quelled beneath Suddam's iron fist. Tell me that under such intense scrutiny from the U.S. and the U.N. that Suddam could have gotten away with exterminating masses of his people in the future.
Suddam is, as you say, as mad man. He is an abominable human being. He should not be in power. I can't offer you alternatives to war besides waiting--but you should not choose the most dangerous solution because you think you have no others.
Of late he's introduced some risky legislation (think of his recent proposals on carbon dioxide emissions) that has set him apart from his party but make him stand out for his clear-thinking and integrity.
From the article, I'm not sure that EvDO can be directly compared to WiFi connections (and the article does not mention current long-range 802.11 ISPs), but it's still interesting.

This exciting new model not only reads the article, but reminds you incessantly of its new improvements over the 1.0 model!
Some of the best comments on this story point out that it is unlikely that spam can be combated technologically: Spammers have a financial incentive to get their messages through and will combat increasingly sophisticated technologies with their own increasingly sophisticated technological countermeasures.
The issue, then, is to remove the financial incentive for spammers. I think the best method in this arena is to educate those who actually fall for spam products and made spamming profitable.
What if e-mails providers illustrate the reality of spam with prose on their homepages and on customer's inboxes? I'm not talking about educational e-mail... just some sidebar on the interface that informs the user that if they even open spam e-mail they are contributing to the problem. Inform them that if they even click on a link in the e-mail they are sending a clear message to spammers that their methods work and there's no reason to stop the deluge.
Or the sidebar could just tell customers that it doesn't matter to women what size they are.
like in Neal Stephenson's Diamond Age or a thinner, cheaper, tablet notebook with better hand-writing recognition. Software also needs to exist where any document can be edited with, say, circled or highlighted text, with some kind of tactile interface--hopefully a pen. I am not opposed to the paperless classroom but we can't lose the functionality that current dead trees offer.

I am increasingly growing fond of McCain.

I want this guy for President in 2004.

Actually, the only pregnant man I know of is found here... http://www.malepregnancy.com/
I'm not sure he's gay he's definitely not Korean, he's Taiwanese.
