Isn't a point a perfect sphere? In fact the most perfect sphere possible?

Well, i hope you get it all the way you want. :)

I just use a Mac now. I'm sorry to say, but i love my mac mini.

I finally gave up on using my Nvidia card in that box.

Wasn't it nvidia that was originally going to release their drivers as open source?

Heh. But this stuff should be really, really basic.

On another note, Going through the effort to write it up here helps me release the want to scream.

From 4chan, specifically /b/, I learned of the existance of the 'Trailer Park Boys' series, to me thats value right there.

The interesting thing with gold will be when asteroid miners start bringing it back.

IIRC the first asteroid ever examined for it turned out to be very likely to have more precious metals in it than have ever been mined out of the Earth. And that was a random one.

Thats part of the fun of gift giving.

Thanx for the info.

I might just do the catastrophic with the highest possible dedeuctible.

I only worked in December this year, and only for three weeks (auto companies give off at the end of the year). So, my income is pretty low.

I've known plenty of Israelis. Their position, and from what I can tell, the Israeli states position, is that Palestinians don't exist, have never existed.

That in itself is a subtle form of genocide; to deny the existance of a people despite their self-identification as such.

Palestine was a mandate of the UK after the fall of the Ottoman Empire. It almost became a state but not quite. Iraq, Syria, Lebanon. Jordan all managed to become states but not Palestine. But Palestine wasn't inherently different to the rest of them.

The British and French guaranteed the Arab people of the region that if they would rise up against the Ottomans they'd get independence. The Palestinians never got it. Thats not the fault of the Palestinian people and not grounds to declare that they don't exist or don't deserve their own state.

To say that Palestinians have been subjected to a form of genocide at the hands of the state of Israel is hardly 'antisemitism'.

How is it antisemitism? Israel is a nation with a parliament, army, laws. It is not Judaism itself. Much of the population is Jewish and virtually all of the genocide has been conducted by people who happen to be Jews.

But to call it genocide is not being 'against Jews' any more than calling the Nazi-era holocaust genocide is being 'against Germans'. It doesn't make sense in the context of Germany and it just doesn't make sense in the context of Israel.

The people who drive the bulldozers that flatten Palestinian houses and kill old folks who are still in them? I hate them and the fact that they are Jewish makes absolutely no difference to me. Ariel Sharon, who slaughtered Egyptian prisoners of war in cold blood, I hate him and the fact that he is Jewish is completely irrelevant.

Or live in the country in which you wish to foment revolution.

According to Dan 'Bonkers' Bernstein, creator of the infamous qmail SMTP server, ALL email must be either delivered or bounced.

Its like this in a LOT of developing countries. Corruption is just business as usual, government makes things up as they go along, noone knows wtf is happening from moment to moment. Thats why they are developing countries and in arrested development at that. You might call them 'retarded countries'
