Taking your address book is possible, even from Windows to Linux. Under Linux, just "tar -cvf skype.tar.Skype" in your home directory, and then untar in your new directory.
OTOH, if you mean that you can't just sign in on a random Skype installation and have you contacts just be there.
What I'd really like to see is an answering machine and, for a version of Skype that can be used on WiFi enabled Cell-phones as a Java app.
I absolutely agree with you. Saddam was a terrible dictator, and I'm glad he's out of power. I'm assuming that "paint with that brush" means that we should determine the morality of a situation objectively and that the actions of a person should be are judged independently of nationality.
If my memory serves me correctly the largest massacre undertaken by Saddam was against the Kurds, after we used them for our own political gain, and then abandoned them which allowed Saddam to take revenge on them (100,000 dead). Please research this incident and let me know if what I'm saying is inaccurate before you respond. If what I'm writing is remotely accurate, then "they" perhaps see things differently than you do, and you owe those who died there at least a cursory review of how those mass graves came about.
Robert Hayden (University of Pittsburg): "It feels so good to believe that it's black and white and you're combating evil. This is why the Goldhagen view is such pap-- this notion that only the Germans could have done the Holocaust, that the Serbs are evil, is bullshit," he says. "If you put normal people anywhere in abnormal situations like ones where their leaders pander in the worst way to their fears and prejudices -- they behave in ghastly ways that are quite predictable."
It must be convenient to use such broad generalizations to form such strong opinions. Certainly "they," you know, the "evil-doers" are the collective opposing entity of good. "They" must hate "us" because our tanks and bombs bring freedom to their regions.
Keep in mind the plurality of perspective, and that families in Iraq and Afghanistan doubtfully shrug off the death of a family member by saying, "Oh well, too bad your father was collateral damage to the freedom bringers." Instead they might view a war on terrorism as being hypocritical, in that war is indeed terrible, so a war on terrorism is like using rape to combat sexual harassment.
A life is a life is a life from my point of view, and the unjustified theft of life is immoral, period.
