I just found out that I can record a show on my VCR and watch a different channel on my TV at the same time as long as I turn VCR/TV off - even though the cable is going through my VCR! I always thought my TV depended on my VCR for my cable.
It's so funny what a poor philosopher Ayn Rand was:
Her metaphysics is "Objective Reality" - okay.
Her epistemology is "Reason" - okay.
Her Ethics is "Self-interest" - okay. In other words, no ethics.
It's so funny. "Objectivism" isn't objective at all. It's such a farce.
The Kuro5hin article I just linked to was just an occasion for me to mock her. It's amazing her system still has any followers.
I heard about this on the radio today:
The US and Britain returned to the brink of war today as Saddam Hussein's dramatic promise to allow unfettered weapons inspections turned out to have strings attached.
Iraq made a surprise offer late last night to provide "unconditional access" to United Nations inspectors, raising hopes of a peaceful outcome to the Gulf crisis.
But today it emerged that the offer only applied to military bases - which could let Saddam hide chemical and biological arms stockpiles elsewhere.
Iraq seemed to have succeeded in opening cracks in the fragile international coalition, however. Although the United States dismissed his offer as a ploy, France and Germany promptly questioned the need for a fresh UN resolution setting a deadline for Iraq to comply with existing rules.
Ali Muhsen Hamid claimed Iraq was being sincere, but he stipulated that civilian sites would not be available to the inspectors. "We support anywhere, any military site (for inspections), but not as some people have suggested for inspections against hospitals, against schools."
Hospitals are among key sites for inspections because of evidence that Saddam uses health laboratories to manufacture viruses for biological weapons.
... during the last, failed, round of inspections, the Iraqi president redesignated about half of his most secret military installations as " presidential palaces", ruling them out of bounds to inspectors.
France was the first of the big five Security Council members to waver, suggesting that a new resolution be put on hold. And its top general flatly ruled out any preemptive strike against Saddam. -- shut up France
Armed forces chief General Jean-Pierre Kelche said an attack would bring chaos, adding: "We have to take him at his word." -- fool.

So before Borland could lure me back, they have to make me trust them and that's awfully hard.
Here's one thing that could do it: Delphi for OSX support. For professional development tools, it's always been "do something else" when it came to the Mac. Visual Basic? Nope. Visual C++? Not really. Turbo Pascal or Delphi? Not a chance. But if Borland brought out Delphi for OSX then it sends a very real, "we're serious" message. This would give one tool that could let you build GUI apps across three different platforms. Now that would be awesome.
My thoughts exactly. I've wanted Borland to come out with a development environment for OSX for a while. If they did, you can bet I'd consider them first for any client side development I ever did.
Yay! Mozilla is finally going to get an XML pretty print mode.
