is the political situation in Africa. Some of the nations with millions of starving people didn't used to be (Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, etc.) Stupid, mostly pro-Communist takeovers and subsequent collectivization are what crushed the ability to produce food in those countries. Just throwing more Western aid over the river isn't going to fix the trouble.
"If it doesn't run OS X, Steve Jobs has absolutely no reason to be concerned."
Really? Is that why Mac sales folks are so desperately marketing their product with a hearty "Hey, our computers run Windows, too!"
I think this, and other copycat products sure to come, may very well cut some of the "I"m buying the Mac from Best Buy 'cause it looks simple" buying populace away from Mac.
And from what was the proto-Jedi "protecting" himself? No, the "blinding...chopper's light" in the discharge of official duties and a pranking shot of fairly high-powered laser "pen" are not morally or practically equivalent.

Dear Lester...
Stop calling it an assault rifle. If you can't switch it between semi-automatic and fully-automatic, it is just a semi-auto.
Thank you for your time.
