Help is not on the Way!

Actually it does in real democracies. The US have a strange system, though.

Why Bush Won

Bush won because the republicans were better at touching the people. There are _so_ many issues the Democrats could have used for themselves, but they were not agressive enough. If you're not agressive enough noone will notice how a nice guy you are, everyone will just see you losing. And...

Political question

Because we could then see whether they're real patriots or not. Anyone who loves his country will surely sign up for Iraq. Nothing beats the patriotism out of your head better than your kid shot dead because of it.

Anand reviews a Macintosh

Ahem. If Bentleys were so great, their marketshare would be higher, too. Heck, if Chryslers were that great, their marketshare would be greater too. I mean, it's not like people wouldn't want a Bentley over a Toyota or Kia or Honda, right? It would be pathetic, if Apple wouldn't manage to...

Anand reviews a Macintosh

I can put 1) stock ATA HDDs, 2) stock CD/CDR/CDRW and DVD/R/RW drives into my Mac. I can put 3) more RAM into it as well. The 4) video cards are a bit of a problem because the Mac versions come with a bigger ROM image than it would fit into a PC version (the ROM handles more stuff on the...

Anand reviews a Macintosh

If you use your computer to do work you effectively save time - and time is money. If your hour pay is $30, then 10 hours saved means you saved $300. The time savings can be anything, from the few seconds you save by using keyboard shortcuts, automated workflows with AppleScript, time saved...

John Kerry?s Intelligence Secret

And yet still people will vote either Democrats or Republicans instead of trying something new. That's having democracy and not using it.

Why do you support Rumsfeld?

I guess the boys and gals dying in Iraq are really happy about people like you.

CBS Undermines our Troops and the war effort: 60 Minutes II was a disgrace tonight

Uhm, right, so the crusaders were actually only wandering around dressed up as military and tried to sell flowers to the muslims. And we all know that something like a priest abusing kids doesn't exist, right? The war debate can be interesting, but claiming christians have morals is just plain...

CBS Undermines our Troops and the war effort: 60 Minutes II was a disgrace tonight

Even though I'm anti-war it's really not that surprising. Consider that they boys and gals doing such things were drilled with anti-Iraq propaganda before they were sent off. And for each thousand soldiers there, statistically, a few have to be a bit off the mark. What I do find tragic, apart...

Americas Shame: US Marines to Withdraw from Fallujah

The reality being that the US wants their oil? Or that North Korea is treating their people like dirt but, unlike a country starved for 10 years, could actually put up a decent fight if the US started to mess aroun with them, so it was easier to use Saddam to show people how strong a nation they...

So, I loaned my Dad $3,000.....

If he didn't do a thing for you in the past, he sure as hell wont change his mind that late in life. The only thing that could happen is that he asks you for more money, maybe talking you into feeling guilty that he didn't wear a condom. I know how it feels like and I know that trying to deal...

Price of Strong Mac G5- How much for similar PC?

Is that one of those Athlong 64 3400+ or two of them? FireWire 800 and 400 + Gigabit ethernet included? Does it come with a warranty? How much is Windows XP Pro (and optional software) for that? You likely won't need developer tools, though. I'd be interested in a dual Opteron setup price...

Anand wants to know how you feel about Apple...

I have to agree here. No Mac user in their right mind will claim the G5 being (at the moment) faster than a spiced up Pentium 4 EE or AMD workstation (save for people who don't have a clue). Neither do many of them claim that the Mac is a gaming machine or that it's less expensive than your...

Anand wants to know how you feel about Apple...

I used to be indifferent about Macs at best. Then I used them. Then I used the money I earned by having a job to buy one. I'm not regretting it, OS X is nice, the machine works well and the Cinema Display is sweet. I still have the old Duron for gaming, but my next computer is going to be a G5...
