Lets look at the mass equation:
heavy suv = 2.4 tons
small car = 0.8 tons
the mass involved in a crash is 3.2 tons. The suv, having 3/4 of the total crash-mass gets only a small part of the crash acceleration. The small car gets a hughe acceleration in the crash, and what kills is the acceleration.
Since here in switzerland we have lots of 18 year old albanian-muslim drivers which got a bwm318 for racing on public roads i do have bought a 2.4 ton suv.
>China is not a Communist country
Right. Europe is way more communist/socialist than China today. This is the motor behind the booming chinese economy, and the cause of europe's economic downward-spiral.
I wish the socialists here would finally realize that average persons dont work if you give them good living conditions, TV, Phone and medical insurance for free.
You dont have to ask the hypotetical www.uncensoreddns.org dns if you know it's

Thinking a little deeper into it it should be possible to make a php script which asks his local dns-server for the IP of the url supplied as argument (is there a gethostbyname in php ?). Then, it could return a link with the IP instead of the url-name. Having this script on different servers all over the world would allow to know who blocks what.
I think every network device lets you select the dns-server manually. In fact you are free which censor you like to use, if you can find an appropriate dns server.
The idea for a "free" internet would be to have a bunch of generally available free-dns-servers spread over different countrys with different censorships. Combining all those dns-results would give an uncensored dns table.
BPL has a big side-effect. It will pollute the SW bands.
Experiments in germany and austria did show that short-wave reception in the vicinity of BPL power lines is impossible. Search for the city of Linz BPL ISP, which seems to have been stopped in court because of much too high emission in the SW bands.
BPL does work in the short-wave frequency region, and the long unshielded power lines make up for a very good antenna. BPL is having fierce opposition by HAM's and SW-Listeners.
STOP BPL !
Compared to Win2000, XP has ONE advantage, it allows multiple access to the soundcard. And with SP2, it blocks those dammned popups, another good thing (if you are using IE instead of opera).
On the downside, XP forces me to have the ms-IM "messenger" installed. I hate it! MS forces this soft on every SP2 user. You wont be able to uninstall (try it!). And the sucker starts whenever OE is started ! Doesent this remind you spyware tactics ?
The other bad thing is SP2 will try to secure some unnecessary services with an unecessary firewall. Two times bad is good ? (yes, its good for intel and amd, since you will need 1ghz more cpu-power for this BS)
Third, it takes an awful lot of time to install SP2. Not the installation itself, this is smooth, but to correct all the BS done to the system will keep me busy for 2 hours.
Why am i running XP ? I have only one licence for win2k, but two for xp. That is the reason. But next time i have to reinstall xp, it will be without SP2, for shure. btw, an XP installation lives 3 to 5 months here. Then it gets so slow i have to reinstall. And its NOT spy-mal-etc-ware to slow it down.
Vista ? FORGET it! not here. MS is on the way for world domination. I bet vista is full of drm-messenger-etc crap.

Try it yourself. You may add/remove, but the IM stays there and is active. It is UNINSTALLABLE !
