Check this one out: I almost fell off my chair!

I have just read in a Swiss newspaper that the accuracy of the so called smart bombs/missiles (since when do weapons bear attributes of intelligence anyway :rolleyes: ) is about 90%. That means 10% hit a random target. I leave it up to you to calculate how many out of the total bombs/missiles...

I just heard Jane Goodall speak live last night (a very inspiring person, by the way. If you don't know who she is, well, I don't know what to think of you ;) ). But anyway, she mentioned some pro-peace stuff, and it started me thinking: it seems that many researchers and people of science are...

Sorry, my bad. I stuck the SM card in upside down. It does work under X.2.4

Does is work for you under X.2.4? It doesn't seem to work for me :(

Ask uoba, he has a hard copy. Maybe he can fax it to you :D I have printed this article and I am keeping it forever. Wow Wow Wow!!!!! This article has cheered me up for the next couple of months!!! (see first page)

also, i think mr. K's statement is good for all of the "anti-America, no matter what" thinkers out there. people claim that we have a narrow view of the world, yet they stereotype us. Again, if you look at my posting history you'll realize that I mostly criticize the US government. I am well...

Not to say anything against you doemel, I almost agree with your point, but - in general the american people are perfectly capable and willing to 'discuss things like grown up and openly minded people.' OK, I have to officially apologize here, my wording turned out more generalizing than I...

Spreading fear always works. Many of today's media plays a crucial role in spreading fears, founded or unfounded. As a result people often overreact first without thinking. Combine a government that manipulates people's opinions using fears and that has strong ties to the mentioned medias and...

go home! :o That seems to be the universal answer to Anericans criticising their own government or fellow Americans. It's really just a lack of ability to discuss things like grown up sufficiently open minded people. Consider that a lot of Europeans are alienated by American...

In Switzerland: - NZZ (Swiss newspaper) almost daily - Weltwoche (Swiss weekly) - WOZ (Swiss) occasionally - Walliser Bote (rather conservative local newspaper from my home province in Switzerland) every now and then - Rote Anneliese (also from my home province, published irregularly, keeps...

I have checked reviews for the mentioned Belkin Gateway Router on epinions.com and amazon.com and they are mized. I guess you can't expect perfection from a product this cheap... Anyway, the CompUSA offer is available to US customers only so I'll go with something else instead. Thanks for the...

What router model exactly are you referring to? I have quickly looked at their website and haven't found anything in that price category. If she only needs one IP she'd save some money there, of course. I was talking about 10 Canadian $, BTW. Roughly translates to US$ 6.75. Still it would take...

Thank you, binaryDigit for your reply. I considered this but decided not to go for it since it's basically a budget problem. I don't know if a software router would be a good idea. The PC (Windoze XP) is on all the time anyway so that would be the obvious choice for a router, right? Does XP...

The Swiss winter is mild compared to the Canadian winter as I had to realize in the last two and a half months I have spent in Toronto...and Toronto is not even representative for the real Canadian winter :)

i keep wondering where saddam is suppossed to go. is he just suppossed to get on a plane to switzerland or france and this will all be over? [not to be taken too serious]you'll laugh but that's actually what a politician from my home province in Switzerland suggested - as a joke, of course...

something slightly OT: did you guys realize that many of us are discussing about related issues in several threads at the same time? i spent half my day reading/posting instead of working :D

Toast. I have no desire to read socialist propaganda what time do you live in? 50's of the last century? the witch hunt for communists has been over for quite a while now, you can stop calling people commies.

Many of your comments make me sad, and laugh at the same time. I guess this qualifies me as your opponent in this debate :D

Just because organizations such as churchs have power and therefore can foist their members into powerful roles is meaningless in the context of _man_ doing evil things to man. Religion might give justification and an avenue to exercise ones will over a greater audience, but it hardly breeds...
