Yes Delphi rocks. It's another one of those great technologies that should have ruled the world but didn't.
FYI there are attempts to make an open source version of it using freepascal. I have never tried them but I'd be interested in the experiences of anybody who has.
"What kind of leverage do you expect him to have against a country that controls a rather sizeable nuclear arsenal (mobile launchers, submarines, ICBM's)?"
Something greater then zero. Right now Bush has done nothing, not one tiny little thing. Not even a statement saying that he is worried. Sure the president of the unites states can do something more then sit idly by and watch while Russia slips back into totalitarianism.
BTW Bush called Putin ""Pootie Poot" (google for it). He said "I looked into his eyes and was able to glimpse into his soul. See, and I've been proven right. I do trust him because I believe he cares deeply about moving forward."
sounds like some homo-erotic heat is going on between those two. I suspect it's one way though.
He can stop piracy anytime he wants. All he has to do is to make sure the software does not work without registration and keep a central database of registration codes. If a corporate key leaks out then all of a sudden the keys start popping up in weird ip addresses then disable those keys or disable those IP addresses.
Voila no more piracy. Here is the big secret. Piracy is good for MS because it stops people from looking at free or lower cost alternatives.
It's not java that's the problem, it's swing. Applications built with swt or even java and wxwindows (yes you can!) perform just as well as native apps do.
The memory footprint had dropped down wuite a bit since the days of yore BTW.
If you read revelations it says in there he is going to kill about 2/3rd of the earths population. It looks like he is going to spare more then one family this time but he is going to kill off a lot of animals too. When he comes back the only people he is going to care about are christians. The jews must be pissed because they will no longer be his favorite children. He is going to kill them all.
We can't leave the muslims alone, they control a part of what is israel. Israel must be in the control of the jews before the prophesies can be fulfilled and jesus comes back.
That's what this war is all about. Laying the groundwork for the return or jesus. God has chosen G.W Bush as his instrument in facilitating the return of jesus.
Salt the earth so that not even the crops can grow back. That old yahveh was one hell of mean and venegeful son of a bitch. He didn't think anything of wiping out the entire planet except for noah and his familiy.
It looks like they are trying to make sure simulation handles a war with china. Then end result of that might just be a big charcoal sphere.

"The Feudal system overruled a much more free society in preMiddle-Age Ireland. It took the Britons hundreds of years for them to conquer such a decentralized nation."
Feudal systems were just mini monarchies. There was the rich 1% and the serf 99%.
Unless you inject socialism into it all capitalistic states will end up the same way.

What you consider a feature I consider an annoyance. I don't want the damned overflow feature I want more tabs I can click on directly.

For thousands of years we have had free markets in the world. Free markets always end up in monarchy like structures. The strong get stronger and the weak get weaker until one guy rules the entire country. Not too long after there is a revelution and then rinse and repeat.
We finally figured out how to get out of that loop by injecting some wealth redistribution to slow down the accumulation of wealth by the few.

In a very real sense Ahmed Chalabi and Iyad Allawi hacked the US govt. They infiltrated the govt and used the power of the mighty US military to get rid of their sworn enemy. In the case Ahmed things didn't go as well as he planned but Iyad is firmly in control of Iraq and is wielding his power with an iron fist.

"its just like all the hackers that predicted the death of the internet for the last few decades..."
I hate to break it to you but the internet is dead. The internet that exists today is nothing like the internet we knew in the days of yore. That was a pretty cool place. Today all that remains is the cespool of slime that settled in the hole where the internet used to be.
Republitard is a perfect word. It shows how retarded republicans are. You yourself are unable to think. Republitard and their retarded leader George W Bush. The man can't put five words together. He is dumber then two dead flies and all you republitards worship him because you can relate to him. He is dumb like you. Just like you he does not read, think, or speak above a third grade level.

I have several profiles to organize my browsing habits. Each profile has it's own bookmarks and preferences. Maybe you have never found a use for them but I love them and I will not give them up by using an inferior browser like safari.
As for the tabs It looks like they are taking up screen space instead of becoming smaller.
I have "The Ruby Way" and I really like it. It covers just about everything you are likely to need and is a good read.
Ruby is a fun language that's for sure. Does anybody know of a decent J2EE like container for ruby? One that supports remoting complex objects via SOAP. I want to tie a ruby back end to a VB front end (for god's sake don't ask why).

You know I really doubt that's legal. They are chancing MS won't sue them but if MS did sue them they'd be SOL.
Of all the horrible things GW has done the absolute worst is giving putin a carte blanche to slide russia backwards into totatitarianism.
History will make note of that for sure.
Agreed. I still prefer to have more tabs on the bar.

Yes till about 15 tabs. Firefox can accomodate over 25 on my screen.
I agree there should be a way to get to them but they don't disappear. They will appear once again as you close other tabs.

If you don't want to vote for a politician that lies then you should stay home.
Bush lied about taking us to war and killing tens of thousands of people. But you are pissed off that his wife only paid 12% taxes?
Typical republitard. Can't think himself out of a wet paper bag.
