Microsoft speeds up virtualization push - vnunet.com: "Microsoft plans to launch a beta of its virtualization hypervisor management console earlier then previously expected."
I think phonics is showing itself more and more in print these days. For instance, in the above, the author uses the word "then" rather than "than." Why, well because spellcheck expects the author to know the difference. Come on, it's really not that hard... earlier than, rather than, bigger than, smaller than, stupider than... first this, then that, if this, then that, because of this, then that... basically, this then that. Get an editor.

VOA News - Amnesty Sees Duplicity in 'War on Terror'
VOA News - Amnesty Sees Duplicity in 'War on Terror'
"Amnesty International has accused the United States and other major powers setting aside human rights protections in the war on terror."
- OK, so what are we supposed to do, kill them with kindness?
"Ms. Khan has singled out the United States for particular criticism over the detention of suspected terrorists at a military base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba."
- So... is there some other place we should hold them? Are they supposed to stay at a Hilton? Motel 6? Or does Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have some intrinsic element to it that constitutes cruelty whereas if they were detained someplace else it would not? Surely it can't be that bad, the base has been there for quite some time now. It's even tropical. Hmm... so maybe we could do the opposite and detain the suspected terrorists in Alaska or maybe someplace on the Antarctic, and maybe that would make this more humanitarian. Enough sarcasm, the things people are saying these days is laughable enough as it is.

Senate Votes Twice for English Language - Yahoo! News
Senate Votes Twice for English Language - Yahoo! News: "Senate Votes Twice for English Language
By SUZANNE GAMBOA, Associated Press Writer 38 minutes ago
WASHINGTON - Whether English is America's 'national language' or its national 'common and unifying language' was a question dominating the Senate immigration debate.
ADVERTISEMENT
The Senate first voted 63-34 to make English the national language after lawmakers who led the effort said it would promote national unity.
But critics argued the move would prevent limited English speakers from getting language assistance required by an executive order enacted under
President Clinton. So the Senate also voted 58-39 to make English the nation's 'common and unifying language.'
'We are trying to make an assimilation statement,' said Sen. Lindsey Graham (news, bio, voting record), R-S.C., one of two dozen senators who voted Thursday for both English proposals.
Sen. Jim Inhofe, R-Okla., disputed charges that making English the national language was racist or aimed at Spanish speakers. Eleven Democrats voted for his measure."
---
This is what makes Democrats look like idiots, not voting for something that will unify Americans. Instead they take the stand that it's devisive. Democrats need to realize that America isn't a free-for-all, as in you can't cross the Rio Grande and just do whatever the hell you please. We've been accommodating that for far too long which is why things are the way they are right now, devisive, and why it's only going to get worse the longer we don't do anything about it. It sucks because I like some of the Democrat ideals... but on some other things they are just ass backwards, in my opinion.

The top news headlines on current events from Yahoo! News: "BAGHDAD, Iraq - Four Marines drowned when their tank rolled off a bridge and plunged into a canal, the military said Friday, adding that while the accident occurred in a Sunni insurgent stronghold, it was not the result of an enemy action."
Well... the whole reason we're still over there is because of enemy action.

It sounds like they could be thinking about putting ads within the OS... that'd be the right push to go to Linux or some other Ad-Free OS for me. Ads suck.

Her
What is it about her? If I don't hear from her for over a day, I start getting a sick feeling. I think about her almost constantly, she's even in my dreams! I want to be around her, I want to have great conversations, I want and I want and I want... yet I have no idea what she wants, yet she said I always know how to make her smile. She can't give herself to me. She is in a "situation." She says she knows what I'm going through. She says she wants me too. She said I'm the man of her dreams, and then she jokingly said it's a dream because it will never happen. She then said she loves me, in a jokingly serious way.
What is it about her? It's not her very large boobs, even though I am a boob-guy. It's not her very nice butt, though I really do like it too. It's not her eyes, though I could stare into them forever. It's not her hair, though I'd love to sink my fingers through it every day. It's not physical at all...
It's how happy she becomes when I give her a gift, she fusses over it, telling me how she loves it and how wonderful it is. It's how she cries on my shoulder when something has made her very upset. It's the feelings that are shared when we've embraced each other. It's our common beliefs. It's our compensating differences. It's love isn't it? But love comes from God. So why do I love someone in a "situation?" Has God sent me to hell?
