    but what pisses me off is how american's seem to think ww2 started in 1941 and the US won it on their own.

    and if you think the russians were the enemy on d-day, you are mistaken. Russia became the enemy again when they built a wall around berlin.

    when i said we i wasn't implying that 100% of the country has the same view (unless were talking about northerners and southerners dislike for each other ;))

    I was just saying its the majority opinion.

    the north-south dislike is blatant though - i mean who doesn't have brown sauce on their meat-n-tata pie butty?

    The only thing the americans did that was needed in WW2 was the food they brought to britain, when there was enough food in the country for a few more days.

    i dont see why american people think they won the war, even though thats all they did.

    I suppose you could say you distracted the japs for a few days too:

    "I know, there's a war we're not involved in, but the enemies of our friends is just over the pond - lets put all our navy in pearl harbour so they can blow it up"

    american mods - mod me down if you like, i dont care, but i'm right.

    in britain we dislike the americans, but we hate the french (apparently the french love us and think we love them too).

    A few years ago a french football (soccer) player was mocked by many people for thinking we love the french.

    oh right, but still, 20meg is still too much for dialup users, which are still common.

    come to think of it, directX is distrobuted with every game that requires it, so if the latest .net environment was distrobuted with every app that required it and it checked to see if it was newer than the one installed (like directX), they could get away with it. shit.

    MS cant change the standard, because that would break all apps developed for it (not just for mono)

    also they cant add too many things to the standard because people will get bored of upgrading a 200mb runtime environment every 3 days

    in the uk, there are ISP's that offer 150kbps always on, unlimited broadband for less than some dial up companies (£14.99 per month, compared to about £15.99 iirc for aol dialup)

    It couldn't be done like that unless you could make the solar panels as hard as concrete - if it smashes, people will smash it.

    Underground powerlines under the roads for inductive coupling - now that would be cool, but dont expect much in the way of that to happen until there's a US president who's daddy doesn't own half of saudi arabia

    ah developers - i didn't think of that. The reason i pointed noexec out is because most peoples security policies dont include it for some unknown reason.
