Aint shit.

I already have a job.

an enormouse amount of effort from some people to post long diatribes that boil down to "You are such a doodiehead, here are 2000 words on why I should be ignoring you."

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Breathe

hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Half the posts are promises that we're 100% absotively going to blow up Iran tomorrow and the other half of the posts are snarky insults employing distortions on a posters handle to smugly excoriate anyone who disagrees with that.

Which is not in and of itself an awful thing. It's pretty much the same kind of screechy childish rhetoric employed by the very people on the other side of the so called 'argument'. Chalk it up to critical mass. When a site is highly agendized and the general sense of opinion is 90:10 it brings out the stupids who like to dart out from the mob, toss a rock and dart back in to the safety of the mob.

Grant - worst ever. Except now he's not

Wilson - superman. Super racist near dictator man, you mean

Polk - stature rising year by year

Jackson - the left and right can't decide which one should champion him

These things ebb and flow with the times and who wants to revise and reclaim history. That's what history is like. It's not factual it's perspective, context and the times.

As flat out awful. Bad writing and directing an overall weak and pathetic cruise control effort from Horridwood.

But you knew that, right? You know that all of their kids are at the macrochaotic antiwar rally for diversity and Marxist feminism against Wal*Mart as we speak, yes?

They're kind of annoying. and it's not like you're going to live long enough to listen to them whine about it family therapy.

Great book, The Comedians. For my money Greene was cheated out of the Nobel Prize.

Also please note, this is Salon, the soft furry cuddly bleeding edge of the most insipid aspects of PC diversity embraced post modernist everything is everything retarded dime store anarcho Marxist bullshit you're bound to find. Do you know that scene near the beginning of "War of the Worlds" when the three locals creep up on the Martian ship and they're waving a white flag and happily assuring the alien invaders that no one means them any harm? And then they vapo-blasted into nothingness? Yeah that's Salon.

J. Hozman airport is IN downtown Eilat. That's pretty convenient.

I don't care. Your taste is shit anyway. I just wish those exercise classes would turn the volume down a little. OR I bring a bullhorn.

Not someone's creative effluvia. I want rock solid reliability. I want a mercury light switch. If that means that it doesn't have some gotta have feature that someone thinks they can make, I can live with that. Apple's choice is not about creativity it's about quality control. It's the difference between IBM's z/OS and and that version 0.64.0.450 Beta application you run every day and pray. I personally, have not seen Apple's product creativity suffer that much from being a closed box.

A traditional English language British educational system. That more than anything else is a benchmark of post colonial success. Whatever it is about success of political and infrastructural institutions, you can always map the correlation between relative success and the penetration of classically British educational system. It's true in the US, Canada, India, Hong Kong, East Africa, South Africa. The African and Asian colonies that were the former possessions of France, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Italy and Germany suffered orders of magnitude more neglect as colonies and violence and anarchy after independence. And in the case of China, British interests in China were not classically colonial. The British worked with Chinese rulers to coopt China without imposing British rule, bureaucracy or administration over it.

How many iPhones have to sell before it is a success? All I hear is that it won't be the best thing since the birth control pill and therefore it will be the most stupid failure ever. All right then, I turn it back to you and ask what you think a success would look like.

I don't think there really are that many Nokia N95's flying off the shelves as a benchmark for the dazzling economic success of interesting technology. But I'm willing to be persuaded that if Apple sells only 3x as many iPhones as Nokia N95's then it a failure.
