        \_ just another example of how microsoft announces a product they
           don't intend to finish, just to fuck people over.
           \_ fuck over who exactly?  anyway, the truth is they put this out
              there to see how people would respond and everyone made fun of
              them so they dropped it and retracted.  if the response had been
              positive they sure as hell would've done it.  it wasn't a hoax.
           \_ Okay, now that's just weak.  Why use a sexual reference when a
              scatalogical one would be so much better?
        \_ I'm devastated that i won't get to brows the net while I dump.
           \_ bring your own keyboard
           \_ womens restrooms have dual purpose mousepads
        \_ MS clarifies: Actually, it wasn't a hoax.
           link:www.bayarea.com/mld/mercurynews/5852697.htm
           \_ Maybe it was originally a US idea.  Then after it got laughed at
              so much, they blaimed it on the UK division.
              \_ Blame the French!

        Kudos.

8/14    How California's Lock-Em-Up Mentality actually makes crime worse:
        http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=111843426
        \_ Sounds nice, but the stats say the crime rate is better since
           we started locking them up.
           \_ You should look up "correlation and causation."

11/26   Media lavishes attention on bogus Zogby poll showing Hillary trailing
        while ignoring reputable Gallup poll
        http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/horsesmouth/2007/11/media_lavishes.php
        \_ More proof of liberal media bias.
           \_ I think you're being sarcastic, but one could make that argument

        \_ Israel
           \_ A colony of what country, USA? You're funny.
           \_ We do give them a few billion a year.  Same with Egypt.
              I doubt Egypt or Israel would exist in its present state
