Women in the military, and the evening news

Well, I was watching the evening news, and there was an interesting segment about women in the military. It was one of those wonderful network created type "controversies." It went like this:
Oh no! Women in the military actually get hurt! We have to do something about this! It's terrible! We must do something!!!
Well, I'd hate to break it to you, but sometimes people in the military do get hurt. And people in the military generally have some understanding that they might die in battle.
And to top it off, they close with a funeral and picture of one of the ladies that died in combat. That is just sick! Exploiting the death of a soldier for their stupid story.

Palm One came out with the new LifeDrive Mobile Manager. Looks cool, but apparently it has a slow hard drive. More here.
Also, the screen on my laptop just died... really troublesome, especially since the warranty gave up a few weeks ago. This is the last brick I buy from System Electronics. Yep... I bought the first one, it had problems, so they replaced it at my cost (I paid shipping, had to pay for the new laptop to make sure I sent the old one back.) The one they gave me would not boot, so they gave me a new one again, only this one was missing parts. Their response? "Just swap out whatever you need and return the old one." And now this one has died... Gah!
Good news is, I have it hooked up to a CRT until I could repair it, or replace it.

PETA brainwashes your children

I saw the PETAkids site today, after seeing it mentioned on FOXNews.
Wow.
Do parents know what these people are teaching children? I do agree that cruelty to animals is wrong; however, using kids to promote ideas such as drinking milk is wrong, eating meat is evil, and wearing anything made from an animal is wrong.
Now, it is fine if they want to teach people that mutilating and tourturing pets and other animals is wrong, but to teach children that eating chicken is the same thing as mutilating your pets is wrong. And they even have a school curriculum set up also!
Very disturbing.

I also find it somewhat hilarious that the Xbox was develoved using PowerMacs.
And Redhat still officially does not support Mono. And many people still complain about this. Did any of these people think about the fact that MS owns the patents to everything .Net. What happens when RedHat starts coding everything in Mono, and MS decides its time to enforce its rights... what happens then? Maybe thats why Redhat was meeting with MS recently?

Show me your papers!

Yes, coming soon to an America near you: National ID cards. Soon you must bring your proof of ID everywhere you go. Yeah! I can now know what it is like to be in an oppressive government. Details...

Ok, so its old, but it still is kinda funny.
Just for the record, there is only one way to get to heaven, and that is by
believing on Jesus Christ; that he is the Son of God, sent to earth to take
the place of our sins and rose from the dead. Salvation is the free gift of
God; you can accept it or reject it.
Thats all there is to it.
Good night! :)
