Okay, lets face it...

It doesn't matter what the reasons may have been for the war in Iraq anymore.

Really it doesn't.

I am tired of hearing all this bitterness.

Look. Our troops are there. We have basically two choices.

1) Leave them there and hope Iraq gets settled with in the next few years. (Which I think is very likely)
2) Leave the country, pull all the troops out. I am not saying how this should be done, but that's the other option. If that happens, Iraq will become quite a quagmire. That I am certain of.

Look, if Iraq, somehow becomes a semi-stable mostly democratic state, (which I think is the most hopeful choice) I doubt it will make the least bit of difference with any other non-democratic countries in the area.

The United States is not a country re-builder. In WWII it was a multinational effort to rebuild all the affected countries.

Look, I am not trying to be political, I don't care very much for anything the congress or president has done lately, but that includes all of congress. I think that neither the democrats, republicans or any one else has a real, workable, good plan for this situation.

I think that the entire situation is completely lost. There is little we can do to make things better. There is a lot we can do to make things worse. However that too is something that will be viewed different for everyone.

I am not willing to make a complete judgment call. Just one on one specific idea. Judgment calls are for people with all the information who rationalize everything using the greatest of judgment, analysis, and impartiality. I can't do that, but I also don't know of any one who can.

That is the problem with politics, isn't it? There is very little impartiality, everything is partial and eventually everyone gets lost in the truth of the lies and the lies of the truth until there are no lies or truth, just the facts we have before us.

In conclusion, can't we all just agree that we can't do anything about it now. We just have to wait it out whether we want to or not and whether we can or not. This whole matter is beyond us now. There are other people who will make the decisions, based on their opinions, based on someone else's opinion. So we're lost and confused, but we know exactly what we're doing and where we're going.

Oh and just because I have to go there, whatever happened to the Osama Bin Laden guy? I think we used to be mad at him, but apparently we don't really care about him anymore. I mean I do think that he was more or less most responsible for 9/11 wasn't he? Or I don't know anymore, I am kind of confused about the whole thing, maybe it was Iraq the whole time. What do I know? I just watch the news, I don't make it.

By the way...

I quit the whole the daily segment thing. I apparently only had one reader and well. I wasn't writing anything good anyway. I'll continue to write my normal drivel.

Why do people buy things and then void the warranty?

I ask only because well, I do. That is to say, some people buy items such as video cards and processors and they have warranties usually from 1 to 3 years. These warranties usually stipulate that overclocking will void your warranty. So why, I ask, do people overclock? I mean in the past even I have been guilty of doing this on cheaper hardware. However I have a pretty new processor and graphics card both with three year warranties. I for one do not have the income to replace hardware if it becomes damaged. Not that I think it will. This is just something that has been bugging me for a while. Why do people do it? Give me a reason, please. I just want to know. I mean I did just to see if I could do it, but like I said that was on older hardware and stuff.

Folding@Home for Team 33258

Folding @ Home

Folding @ Home is a worldwide community effort researching the causes, and cures, for various diseases due to the improper folding sequences of protein molecules. Motherboards.org has formed a Folding @ Home distributed computing team for members and visitors alike to join. We ask that everyone please join and donate your spare CPU cycles to help benefit Stanford University's Folding @ Home project. Together we can make a difference! This Folding @ Home flash presentation explains how.

How Do I Join?

1. Determine your operating system.
2. Decide upon the type of client that suits your needs. There is a screensaver version that uses spare CPU cycles when your screensaver runs. There is a higher performance graphical client, as well as a no-nonsense console/text version.
3. Download the desired client.
4. Run the client and have the team number 33258 handy during the install process in addition to your username. Follow the installation guide for your specific operating system, and the client type that you've decided upon.

This is a repost sort of. I want you to join. Follow links and directions.

Okay so until my beloved Sci-Fi Friday returns...

We have the following good shows:

They all have their unique goodness. So that'll be good.

Why are mothers so nosy?

This is not a rhetorical question. I'd like an answer.

No Love For The Fat Man The Time For Questions

You couldn't ask me any questions.

So I have no answers.
