We help each other, not fight each other. We know that you can build a better product if everyone helps. This is an example of what I would call your "Type I" open-source mentality. |

- After reading endless assertions by Scoble on the benefits of ClearType, I finally got around to looking at the ClearType website to find out how to enable it on my machine. It's pretty simple, you just go to the activation page with Internet Explorer, go through a couple of pages of configuration, and ClearType is enabled. I did not really notice the difference until I went to breakfast and then came back to my computer. Then, it suddenly hit me that everything looked so much nicer. I can actually tell the difference between fonts now; |

- "There were no longer any excuses after September 11," writes Richard Clarke in Against All Enemies, "for failing to eliminate the threat posed by al Qaeda and its clones, for failing to reduce America's vulnerabilities to attack. Instead of addressing that threat with all the attention it required, we went off on a tangent, off after Iraq, off on a path that weakened us and strengthened the next generation of al Qaedas. For even as we have been attriting the the core of (the) al Qaeda organization, it has metastasized. It was like a Hydra growing heads. . |
