What's the Deal with Georgia vs. Russia, or Whatever?

  It appears that the deadly conflict which has broken out in the month of August, 2008 between Russia and the former Soviet state of Georgia over Georgia's reluctance to allow South Ossetia seccede may be part of a larger conflict which involves NATO and the United States, as well.

  As published by blog.foreignpolicy.com ;

[Russian News Source] Kommersant reports that 2,500 to 3,000 mercenaries from Ukraine, the Baltic states and the South Caucuses are fighting in Georgia under the direct command of U.S. military instructors.

 

  So it would appear, that when presented alongside Russia's statements in this USAtoday article;

Q. What are Georgia and Russia fighting over?

A: Georgia launched a military strike on the province of South Ossetia, aiming to reclaim it after 16 years of semi-independence. In response, Russia sent tanks in. Moscow says Georgian forces had killed Russian peacekeepers there and were committing acts of "ethnic cleansing" of native Russians living there.

  that the United States is directly commanding the Georgians to commit ethnic cleansing, using their mercenary forces? Similar facts reported in many other sources may stir the mind that something may not be as it seems if one were to "listen to the filter," of the U.S. news media at large. 

According to wire service RIA Novosti, U.S military transport planes were being used to fly in Georgian troops from Iraq to join the fighting. Vladimir Putin has also commented on this.

  Public statements by our officials have all uniformly chastised the Russians as the aggressors, though even the aforementioned USAToday article, and even that paragon of modern yellow-journalism, Fox News, have had published irretrievable proof the U.S. is involved, the Fox article refers to the United States air-transporting Georgian soldiers from Iraq into the hot-zone in Georgia, something that has now inescapably entered the record of fact. Does this involvement mean that the USA is trying to foment a conflict with Russia, in an already hyperactive and possibly self-destructive age of American military profusion? Or is there something ulterior afoot in this conflict, perhaps collusion between the U.S.A and Russia to cause this conflict for reasons as yet to be revealed? One thing is certain, it will not be good for the citizens of any country involved, including the United States. 

  It is the duty of citizens in this country to rail against involvement in provocateured conflicts, and reckless involvement in foreign conflict. If the Iraq War is not evidence enough of that, then our eyes truly are closed to the truth. Please wake up and get involved! Be a Paladin for the Truth!

Damn you to Hell, Microsoft

To the very bowels of Stygian Furnaces Unknown to Mortal Man!
TO HELL, HELL, HELLLLL!!!1!!!1!!

For those of you who are not web-coders, a bit of highly compressed history is in order: It was not uncommon, in the past, for browsers to display html, css and other code in incompatibly different ways, but largely thanks to the folks over at The Web Standards Project those days are mostly over. Mozilla's Firefox, Opera, and other major browsers generally follow the standards set by the W3C, for both html, and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) implementation. However, Microsoft is determined to defecate in the collective cornflakes of web developers everywhere, by apparently refusing to comply with the standards set by the primary governing body over internet coding standards.

Internet Explorer (henceforth referred to as that insufferable piece of shit) requires separate CSS hacks for every version since IE5, much more so today than any major contemporary browser.

To their credit, MS IE4 really was far superior to Netscape4 when it came to standards compliance, but since that time, they have trodden the path of least compliance, it seems, all the while giving lip service to their newfound dedication to standards, displaying a lack of compassion and integrity simultaneously.

I am going to write more on this later, but for now, I have to fix my fucking layout by writing AN ENTIRE SEPARATE STYLE SHEET JUST FOR That insufferable piece of shit!

In the meantime, I certainly encourage you to contact microsoft and ask them questions about any of the bugs found at Mr. Gérard Talbot's site, and why their browser, with all the resources ($) at their disposal, has so many bugs.

Hiya kids, I am now a true g33k

I realize of course I will not be an übergeek, nor a true ninja/jedi/pirate/vulcan, until I convert completely to Linux or BSD with Command-Line only, but I like pretty pictures, okay? I need a GUI some times, like my blankie, when I was a kid.

I am dual-booting my personal computer to Windows XP and Ubuntu 6.10.

 and so can you be too!

Here's my basic sysinfo: 

  • AMD Barton Core Athlon 2500+ 
  • Biostar M7NCD Ultra
  • 1GB Matched PC2700 333Mhz DDR
  • NVidia GeForce MX5200

All I had to do was download, burn, install. 

I went to Ubuntu.org and downloaded the newest release for x86 processors, put in the disk after making the preliminary check that my BIOS was set to boot from CD, then installed it and let it partition my disks automatically1; Voilà!, I was a huge dork.
