Gwynne Dyer: Take Bin Laden's video message with a huge grain of salt

Gwynne Dyer: Take Bin Laden's video message with a huge grain of salt: "If the United States had not invaded Iraq last year (which Bin Laden could not have foreseen), 9/11 would have been a complete failure. Even with the horrifying images that Iraq generates and the fury and hatred that they engender among Muslims elsewhere, there has still not been a single revolution anywhere in the Arab world: The Islamists still cannot get the masses out in the streets to overthrow Arab regimes"

DubyaSpeak.com : Dubya on...

DubyaSpeak.com That's Dubya as in George "W." A nasty collection of fumbles that boggle the mind.

Airaid

Airaid Intake for the recent fuel injection conversion on my '71 Blazer. Might fix the whistle I'm getting from the old Moroso intake I carried over from the Holley 750. Might also be a good starting point for a cowl induction / snorkle setup.

Java for .NET

IKVM.NET: is an implementation of Java for Mono and the Microsoft .NET Framework.

Yet another Gartner analyst says BOTH to java vs. .Net

.NET vs. Java: No Easy Answers: "Choose Both
Despite any attempts to select either platform as a 'strategic' de facto choice, virtually all large development organizations will ultimately have both....It's entirely unrealistic to assume a large national or multinational company will have all Java or all Microsoft technology. For that matter, legacy platforms such as Cobol will also remain entrenched for many years to come.
In these cases the 'us vs. them' battle must be tempered with a higher-level integration strategy. Although there are no easy answers to this problem, technology such as Web services standards are beginning to emerge and will allow better integration and interoperability between the platforms in the future"
