If India can produce cheaper software, shouldn't we in the West be willing to buy it?
It seems that too often we're for lower tariffs on anime, imported gadgets, etc., without fully realising that economic liberalism must be mutual. Look at President Bush's ill-advised tariffs on foreign steel -- he talked up freer trade, and then undermined it.
If we can't bring ourselves to buy Indian software, why should they buy anything from us? Maybe they won't. Maybe it'll start a trade war, and everyone will lose.
What I want to know is: where has all the outrage over nuclear weapons gone?
It seems that back in the USSR vs. America days, the West had an obsession with nuclear annihilation, despite the improbability of such an exchange between the big powers.
But as it stands now, severalcountries who either have or are attempting to obtain nuclear weapons just might be crazy enough to use them. How safe are we with Kim Jong Il and some shady supreme religious leaders in command of nuclear missiles?
That would be Victor Lustig, one of the greatest frauds ever.
At one point he apparently sold a phony counterfeitting machine to some poor sap for $25,000 (in 1926 dollars!). After his arrest on unrelated charges, he used another of the machines to bribe his way out of jail -- and net $10,000 from the (rather thick) sherrif in the process.
It presents you with several clusters of sites related to your query. After typing something in, choose the closest cluster to what you want, and you're off! I like the idea, but they don't seem to have very many pages indexed yet.
It is => it's.
Otherwise, use its. Even for possession.
Remember that "its" is an exception to the usual rule of the apostrophe indicating possession, as in Steve's, Bill's, Darl's, etc.
Let's practice on the article header:
It will start this new initiative by making its suite of tools run easily under WINE, then depending on the response it gets, it will port its tools natively to Linux!
I also recenty received some Alice in Wonderland citations with my spam. Who would have thought Project Gutenberg's biggest use would be for hawking herbal remedies?

So it still has a ways to go

Just my thoughts.

So why aren't we as worried as we used to be?
...I predict that 2004 will be the year of Linux on the desktop!

You sir, can try writing an operating system in MySQL and PHP, and see how it turns out.
Valuing my sanity, I'll have no part in it.
Fifteen comments and the server appears to have bit the dust.
Slashdot should come up with some automatic link-cacheing system or something...
Something like...
a hand-crank generator.
