...because it feels safe in his hands, like a child in the arms of his mother.
Josef Goebbels was referring to Adolf Hitler when he imparted this gem of irony, though if the Republicans are to be believed, it could just as easily apply to our friend in the White House, Mr Bush. Terrorism is Bush's ace card - it feeds his campaign for re-election because his response to it is what sets him apart from...

If war isn't the solution, what is?
To answer the question you first have to pin down which predicament it is that war is presumed to be able to remedy. Initially the objective was to disarm Saddam Hussein of the weapons of mass destruction the coalition insisted he had in his possession. When numerous intelligence experts revealed that Hussein's surviving feeble arsenal of weaponry posed no threat, the diplomatic, peaceful solution...

Is it possible to save streaming movies to the hard drive?
Yes - what you need to do is get hold of a program called Streambox VCR. This will enable you to keep a permanent copy of Real Media movie and audio files on your hard drive once they have been streamed to your computer.
Tracking down the program via the web is easier said than done as it has never been publicly released, however, it is available on all the popular file sharing networks. For legal...

"We learn from history that we learn nothing from history"
Left-wing, liberal, democrat... all words vehemently spat at people who refuse to dutifully exalt Bush's reckless, reactionary, and counterproductive policies. By the time these fanatical Bush apologists have finished reeling off adjectives and have us categorically and politically boxed off, they run out of steam and completely forget what their actual point was... if they ever had one to begin with!...

How do I disable the javascript components of my internet browser?
Again this depends on which browser (and which release version) you are using. In Internet Explorer 4.0 and above you can make the necessary changes from within the 'tools' section of your browser's menu bar. Scroll down to the 'internet options' menu and click on it. Now select the 'security' tab followed by the 'custom level' button. Finally scroll down the list until you come to the 'active scripting'...

It ain't over 'til the fat hedgehog sings
The year is 1988; Michael Jackson has just purchased a little ranch in Santa Ynez, California, which he would from then on lovingly refer to as Neverland, Nirvana kick-started their career and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles burst onto the small screen brandishing ninja weapons and scoffing pizza. In the same year, Bill and Ted made their most excellent debut as a pair of air-headed time-travelling...
The masses: 1, M$: 0
As old Bill's ever expanding empire continues to monopolise the computer world, more and more people are making it their crusade in life to avoid at all costs anything associated with The Evil Empire AKA Microsoft. The boldest statement you can make is obviously to ditch your Windows operating system entirely and instead opt for a Linux, Free BSD or Mac alternative, but that's a huge first step and...

The Christian crusade rumbles on
We've invaded and taken root in Iraq, unceremoniously slaughtered thousands of civilians (the decimation of a wedding party being a particularly illustrative example), destroyed homes and livelihoods, systematically raped, humiliated and otherwise physically and psychologically abused innocent bystanders and indiscriminately unleashed banned weapons of mass destruction including napalm. Let's think,...
