".... he bombed Iraq without accomplishing anything..."
Bullshit. Operation Desert Fox in 1998 eliminated the final vestiges of any chemical and nuclear programmes under Sadaam Hussein, and caused him to fear for his power; he ordered thousands of arrests in the following weeks, and his regime was unstable for months afterwards.
Facing trouble and succombing to it are two entirely different prospects; Google are standing up and fighting for their fair use of other people's material and will hopefully set precedent for cases in the future.
I find that the longer it takes you to find out how badly FUBAR something is, the more tragic the revelations become, like how a plane gets more and more badly burned up before finally hitting thr ground:|
As someone already pointed out, google do have comments and have had for a while. Also, who really *needs* the degenerates who seem to comment on every popular movie and just turn the comments into variations on OMFG UR SO GAY/YOU ALL HAVE TEH BAD AIDS/O RLY?.
I call FUD on this article as well; for a start most current hardware (above a midrange P4 system with half a gig of RAM ) will run Vista just fine- you might just want to drop the Aqua interface (though I *do* like the look of it myself). You can stick any version of office you like on the damned thing, and be done with it.
The article should read 'upgrading all your computers to brand new ones, trashing all your old hardware and putting Vista and (for some reason) MS office on them will cost $3000'.
Well thank fuck someone came out and said it. I'm a Catholic but for anyone to shove it down another's throat (even in flaming) is unacceptable and does the Church more harm than good. Fucking zealous pricks.
Aha I remember that guy on TDS *rolls eyes back*.. um a young middle eastern guy wasn't he? um.... okay anyway I remember him he was one of the better guests on the show.... and that's saying something because the guests are excellent, even when a hawk or a republican comes on he does get a reasonably good chance to speak, even if (and I can't remember who gave this line) they do say things like 'well the Indians had an open immigration policy and look where that got them'.. or something to that effect.
I'm reading 'Fiasco' at the moment, the Thomas E. Ricks book on the American Military in Iraq. A good read, though I'm only 20% of the way in so far.
The interview with the Pakistani Leader, to which the show dedicated half the programme (or at least the version of the programme shown here in Ireland by Channel 4- we get every programme the evening after), was IMHO a superb piece of journalism and actually managed to shed new light on the interviewee, rather than just pester him with the same 10 questions he gets on every onther news station.
Many a serious thing is said in jest.
Anyway, thein joking about how 'convenient' that it was that this story leaked just a month before the mid-terms, the programme unintentionally provoked in me a little conspiracy theory I came up with (but don't give that much credence to) about the Republicans; on Friday the house voted to redefine the rights afforded to prisoners in U.S custody.... something that deserves massive media coverage as it's a sign of the creeping 1984 state that seems just around the corner.....
Instead the media circus has contentrated on this insignificant little paedophile prick who won't even appear in the footnotes of history, taking the heat off of a law which gives Bush (for it is he who now defines what torture is) the right to treat prisoners in whatever way he sees fit.

For the last time, it's not like a truck that you can just put...... enormous amounts of tubes on. Um...
Help.

Desert Fox exceeded expectations.
For the clueless and impatient
Tosh = polite upper/middle class english word for BS.
I know you like to think your shit don't stink.......
My sentiment on their acquisitions is that they may sometimes buy and not develop, but they have exceptional taste in purchases ^^

1 : what prick modded you offtopic? meh,
2: I think I need to give these guys a bell as there's a supermassive black hole on my desk right now ^^
I'm surprised this article wasn't submitted by Roland Piquepaille, TBH. Maybe he's fucked off and died at last.
A-ahahahahaha, man that's the funniest thing I've heard all week.
Oh the crippling irony ^^
As the orbiting probe will no doubt agree, it's better to burn out than to fade away :D
Um, I've read your post from start to finish , but I still don't get why the Viet Cong want to get into tech :|

You mean none of them speak Troll?
How alarming.
I'm a fan of '3 ???' , as it always seems to lead to profit.
Try searching for the terms 'shark' and 'frickin'. You'll have more success there ^^
Don't circus/freak shows count?
:'(
Awwww
Well the general idea *is* to ram that thing as close to the other pilot's ass as possible, then detonate.

Big fscking surprise there.

Not if they can't get a screenshot of whatever's on your mind at the time.
