US women protest for the right to bare

Not most of us

"quote"The USA is fundamentalist puritanical state mostly populated by ultra-conservative religious zealots. Remember, this is the same country that has to actually debate whether or not to teach evolution!"/quote"

That is far from true. It's just that only the anal ones are the only ones that didn't have any fun in their life that are eligible for government work. It's also the idiots that watch FOX news and believe the crap they shovel them they call news.

I'm finding the church in my country is more like a swiss bank than a house of worship since they actually hand out reciepts for donations for tax purposes, but also churches actually have high interest bank accounts so the worshipers are actually more like investors. It's one big tax evasion scam and the church splits the interest as a fee for helping all these so called chosen people steal from their country "cough"Bush"/cough".

So as you can see I like a lot of others in the US think the far right are full of crap and when they talk they're just basically just passing gas.

Windows XP customers positive but split on Windows 7

Windows 7 seems ok

Windows 7 seems like a decent OS but as usual MS has overpriced their OS for the general population, especially since they are releasing it during a recession.

I can't see charging over a $100 for an OS considering the huge discounts they give the big PC manufacturers.

I like XP Pro, I'm used to it and I don't need a PC upgrade at this time so there's no reason to change especially at the prices they are talking for the retail version for those of us that build our own systems.

US dollars

$199.95 Home Premium

$299.99 Professional

$319.99 Ultimate

They should drop all these prices $100 to $150 and why even have the first 2 versions, just get rid of them. The first version to me means I'm paying $200 for a crippled version of Windows 7 ultimate, it also means I have to pay $300 if I want something other than crippleware from windows.

It's not like they have to make 3 versions. They could have just made Ultimate, saved the R&D cash crippling some parts and security to make sure they remained crippled. Then sold 3 x as many copies as they would with 3 versions. This lower pricing would greatly expand their customer base since the average person in the US doesn't make crap for pay nowadays, unless they are Bill Gates or work for him. Just my take on things
