Yeah, apparently this is 'Black History Month' and I have received numerous e-mail bulletins from the powers that be (I work for the government, so it's 10 times worse than any other office).
Surely a better way to create equality would be to accept that the achievements and plights of black people are part of world history, rather than singling it out as some kind of parralell black universe. We should be celebrating human history regardless of colour. The cracks between the races need to be bought together, not seperated further. And when the hell is white history month? Oh, wait, that would be racist...

Anyway, I've just realised that my post would be better suited to the politics thread, so here's another - I cannot bare the mundane coversations that go on in my office. I am talking seriously trivial, highly uniteresting stuff. I want to scream 'Jesus people, would you wake up and get a life because you're breathing but you sure aint alive!!' I jaut can't get my head round the fact that these boring, grey zombies were once giggling children with dreams of being an astronaut or rock star or explorer. What the hell happened? And worse still, will it happen to me? Has it already begun?

For real? How is Arnie supposed to be governor while making 2 movies? If this is true, I'm glad Cameron's doing T4 (I mean, if they insist on making it, they may as well get Cameron to do the job. Maybe he can redeem the franchise.

HaHaHa. Yeah, that's true. In theory I guess I am anti-microsoft, but the windows 95 days are over - their products are actually pretty good these days, IMO. Plus, the 'lefty' in me thinks there should be one single, unified, totalitarian messenger product for the people

But Hot Rod was 'the one', and proved it by opening the Matrix, which is something Ultra Magnus failed to do. You might say Hot Rod had 'the touch'

Plus, they already had an Ultra Magnus toy, Rodimus Prime meant a whole new action figure

Laserman's idea of having the German's win WW2 and then continuing their quest for dominance into the stars is a great one. Also, I don't know why you don't just call it Star Wars.

You're just disagreeing because it's me and Ric saying aren't you Sage
Seriously though, I totally get what you're saying, and would prefer it if Mr.Gates didn't have such a stranglehold on things, but your average computer user doesn't see it as cramming it down our throats. They see it as a handy all-in-one package. They go to their computer superstore, buy what the salesman tells them to buy, takes it home, turns it on, and away they go. Your average user does not know how to download and install alternatives, etc, so Bill Gates is doing them a favour. For example, if Windows didn't come with IE, my Mum would not use the internet (unless I came round and fixed up her computer. I have all kinds of alternative programmes and exotic software on my computer that would baffle most users, as I'm sure do you.

Anyway, like I said, I like MSN Messenger. It looks good and works well. Of all the ones I've tried (When I first came online years ago I was an ICQ user - I can still remember that irritating sound it made when you got a new message) MSN is my favourite.

The good thing about Messenger is there's an online version, so even if your work won't let you install stuff (like mine) you can still chat at work. Plus anybody with windows will automatically have messeneger, and it works in conjunction with Hotmail, informing you when you have new mail, etc. I really like it.

Why? Why would you hope that Bond's downward spiral continues. Any Bond fan, or movie fan, should hope that the studios starting making good films again. Hoping something bombs is pretty dumb. Unless it's a totally crap movie that deserves to bomb.
