Okay, I know Bill Gates is a relatively intelligent guy - he just has screwed-up ideals. This article represents the better half of this guy; a reality that I can appreciate. I just do not like him for reasons based on that he is a business oriented guy in a negative sense. He says:

"We have this disparity where, as great as our system is, if there's not a market need, it doesn't drive innovation."

This is the kind of research/ideal we should be striving for...in the development phase of a product.

The DoD funded this study by Rand Corp. I'm sure the Bush administration will disregard its findings just as they have with past studies with similar findings. "The report finds that large-scale U.S. military intervention and occupation in the Muslim world is at best inadequate, at worst counter-productive, and, on the whole, infeasible."

The U.S. needs a president who will work to stop this insane armament escalation. This is how all previous WW's were initiated. We need someone who will not only advocate for peaceful collaboration between countries, but actually take non-threatening steps. Like the decrease of defense spending, not creating missile sites in foreign countries, not invading other countries on a pretense, not bullying other nations with the UN, etc.

I have added a photo gallery software (Gallery) to the site and am playing around with themes/settings. I have looked at a few different free/open source galleries and so far like this one best. Drupal has some that plug into it, but they are too clumsy. Having a completely separate photo system seems to be the way to go. Fortunately, someone has already gone and written a module to integrate *Gallery* into Drupal. Unfortunately, it does not appear correctly inside of Drupal, so i will have it open in its own window.

Finally, someone has developed and manufactured a car computer that can replace your stereo. Designed to fit in the same space, can withstand fluctuating power when starting car, 800 x 480 res...looks good.
