I'm sorry but I seen nothing but bad coming from this. I'm not trying to be racist or anything but until the Muslim religion matures, this will just continue to endanger the Western democratic countries.

You will have to alway have troops in the country, which will breed resentment and have tones of occupation from the citizens. The extremists, which are already there, will just get stronger and exploit even more weak minded individuals as they are going to have the money to do so.

This will be the new oil, and so far it will rest in one country, which is far worse than the current situation we have with oil and OPEC.

We never blame the people, it's always pointed at Corporate America and the government. You as a people need to stand up though. You need to find the truth and educate yourself rather than watching Fox (Bush) News network, or many of the other lying, bull$hitting, anything to take over, media outlets. I understand and appreciate freedom of speech but the crap that goes on and is supported in the US by citizens boggles my mind! Media, corporations and special interest groups are able to change history and pollute it with their own agenda. The advertisements about black history is one prime example. Instead of stating how they have contributed and made advancements on inventions over time, which is fantastic, they flat out stated they were invented by them. That's flat out wrong and distorts history. M$ Encarta was the same, different history depending on whether it was for US or global use. It's no different than the Communist's and in my opinion much worse because it's about money and power for the corporations. This is off topic, but ask yourself why the US and Britain are the only countries in the world where diesel is more expensive then gasoline? It isn't the taxes and it isn't the demand. Diesel is a waste by-product of refining gasoline and since the US has about 5% of their vehicles running diesel, compared to 60% in Europe, it should be half the price in the US. I've ranted enough....

I wish S.u.S.E. could go back to the way they were before Novell did the damage they did. I dealt with them when they were independent and they were fantastic. Maybe if I put on the ruby slippers and click the heels three times.....

Gotta love Michael Geist. He takes the crap out of everything is gives us the truth. He has helped many times in preventing secret and insane laws from coming to be.

It is BS. They don't like our tarrif based system for music. Buy a blank CD and a portion of it goes to the recording industry. They want us to adopt their laws so they can start the lawsuits the RIAA and MPAA are so famous for. Sorry, we will fight it tooth and nail. Our privacy, unlike the US, is paramount here. BTW, having friends and colleagues that live and work in China, they have told me countless times that companies, such as Micro$oft, encouraged piracy so the population will get hooked on the product and they can increase their market share. One of my friends actually worked for M$ and he confirmed it. That was 6 years ago, he has moved on since.

Hence my previous comment. Nokia is a European based corporation. Intel is a US based corporation. US Corporation = Greed. Hell look at Delphi, the CEO was going to the bankruptcy hearings in New York on the company's private just. Hey if I was going bankrupt and had to be in court to prove it, I would take the cheapest mode of transportation. Same this with Ford and it's exec. 2 weekly trips to his Florida home on the company's private jets for him AND his family. It's going to hell in the US!!!
