Just to clear up the slight misunderstanding.
At first the German airforce was bombing strictly military targets in England, in order to soften it for invasion. However, one night. a single German pilot became lost and accidentally dropped his bombs over central London, prompting a retaliation by the British airforce, during which they bombed Berlin for the first time during the war. This so outraged Hitler that he ordered all strikes on military targets, such as the RAF, to be stopped and ordered a merciless concentrated bombing attack on London itself, now known as "The Blitz". Before this started leaders of the RAF had estimated that they could only hold out maybe a couple more weeks, before loosing so many aircraft, so much equipment and personal that they'd become completely ineffective as a fighting force. This break allowed the RAF to rebuild and resupply their airfields, repair their equipment and planes, and allowed the pilots and ground crews a respite from constant bombing. So yes, it was a rather dramatic turning point in the Battle of Britain.

I am so sorry for your losses and those of your friends/family.
    But think objectively about it for a minute if you will, and you'll have to agree that your experiences are a bit of a statistical anomaly.

How does this explain away the alleged river channels, deltas, salts found by the rovers, etc... etc... and other evidence of large amount of water?

Because lord knows, a multi-billion dollar business doesn't care about protecting IP, and facebook's ALL ABOUT privacy *ahem*

Lets see, I can read 224 pages, and take weeks learning why I smoke, how to combat withdrawal, and work on changing my life to remain smoke free..... OR.. I can take a quick lil shot and be done with it?? hmmm let me think

hmmm... yeh.. Because, under Windows, EVERY driver is restricted

Those warrants look so pretty with those genuine Saskatchewan seal skin bindings..

Umm.... Call me crazy, but Im pretty sure OpenOffice uses GTK as it's GUI toolkit, even if it is it's own "internal" version ( at least on Linux and Windows )

You make cookies with your username and password in them? Where'd you buy the cookie cutter? What are they molasses cookies? I'm guessing this is so you can eat them in a hurry when the FBI/NSA/HLS is knocking on your door? Keep a cold glass of milk handy!

Or just send Odo back to the great link, to cure the founders, so they'll surrender.. I do believe it might just work!!!

Am I the only one who thinks the default look of OS X, with that *gag* wallpaper, is cheap lookin?

Personally I prefer a subtle background, and slighty dark default color scheme. Most of my time I'm looking at the information IN the application, not the application itself. A muted color scheme lets the UI features fade to my eye, while I concentrate on what I'm doing.

An F-35 to deliver a nuclear payload to Bejing?

I shutter to think of what might have happened to all the submarine launched missiles, land based ballistic missiles, B-2 stealth bombers, B-1B bombers, even cruise missiles?

What form of catastrophy would leave the US in the position of needing to nuke Bejing, and having no more approriate asset left to do it with, then it's second line fighter?
