I have (tried) to work with OpenFOAM in the past, and I would very much not recommend it for someone who doesn't already have an intimate knowledge of CFD. It has a very steep learning curve and no GUI whatsoever anymore. It may be powerful and free, but it is not appropriate for OP's needs.
As far as I can tell it was formerly a commercial code that was open-sourced, but they keep it as non-intuitive as possible to try to sell people on the $2000 dollar training courses they put on.
The Internet is still "cool" because it has that lawless wild west sort of feel to it. The useless bureaucracy that is the UN would only make it un-fun. Sure it may be "dangerous" if you dont know what you're doing, but why would anyone wander around the wild west if they didnt know what they were doing.
3) Just because Saddam didn't have nukes with "Hi, There!" written on the side doesn't mean he wasn't trying his hardest to get them. Would you rather we waited until he actually had working nuclear weapons to try to stop him? I think the lives lost in this conflict would have been insignificant compared to the lives that would have been lost if we had tried to remove Saddam after he had actually gotten his hands on nukes.
4) The UN agreed that Saddam was a brutal dictator, and the UN has signed resolutions that state that they know that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, the burden of proving this wasn't on the US.
5) We still are looking for Osama, he still is a top priority, and we still have people in Afghanistan looking for him, but chances are he has escaped to another terror supporting state. Just because the spotlight is on Iraq now doesn't mean anyone has forgotten about him. The US military has the ability to do more than one thing at a time.
6) Yes, I agree that Saddam must be treated humanely, but if, after a trial, he is proven guilty of everything the rest of the world thinks he has done, I also support execution.
7) I'm pretty sure no one at the CIA was involved in training Osama. He has always hated the US, and I don't think he would ever accept help from them. Besides that he has way more than enough money to train thousands of people without the help of anyone else.
8) Terrorists have already declared war on us, Bush has only just announced that we are now willing to push back, much harder than any terrorist could. If the world is eventually rid of countries that are willing to harbor terrorist, then planning attacks without a base of operations or a country willing to supply them with weapons will be a lot harder.
9) Just because no one on Slashdot has asked this doesn't mean no one is thinking about it. In the past I can't think of an instance where creation of a democracy following a regime change has failed (eg: Germany). Regarding precedents, well I hope that governments aren't just doing things today because they have done it in the past. The whole situation has to be looked at; I think the fact that the US wanted a regime change shows that they already have learned from the first gulf war. And finally, I too am greatly saddened by laws like the patriot act. Sometimes I guess people in the government get a little overzealous (eg: John Ashcroft). Perhaps the government was just using the 9/11 attack as an excuse to take away some of our freedoms. I only hope that more people notice this and laws like this are challenged and repealed in the future.
most gamers don't want to sit around and configure a linux system for gaming, nor do they even know how, and windows is pretty idiot proof in that respect.. (at least as far as the idiots are concerned)

the longer the period of time between when its announced and when its released, the more pissed off people get, and are therefor less likely to buy it no matter how good it is. blizzard seemed to have figured this out after diablo 2 (although it did sell pretty well anyway), which is why they didnt officially annonce warcraft 3 until a few months before it was released.
there are a few varieties of 3G, the most common is CDMA2000 1x which has a theoretical speed of 144kbps compaired to 77kpbs of gprs, but WCDMA which is used in japan has a theoretical rate of 2mbps (if you are using the phone during the summer solstice and a full moon and catch bill gates using linux simultaneously)
And they all thought i was crazy ...
