  1. @elspethjane, I've got a cousin in Ithaca. I've only heard good things.
  2. RT @knowyourmeme: TIME wrote about us! "Your Guide to the Weird, Wild Web": http://meme.ly/TimeKYM (we're like famous or something now.)
  3. 'Re: New Mac TV Ads [Commodore 64?]': video found at http://mag.ma/17/39808
  4. This condescending little worm pretended to be his own supervisor and refused to even help us settle this. I really hope a QC was recording.
  5. Having issues with a domain squatter who used Domains By Proxy to be anonymous. I called Domains by Proxy and had the worst experience ever
  6. I meant secular progressives vs. fundamentalists. It's too late at night to be trying to sort this out. Must... sleep... now!
  7. Funny how certain news sources try to frame it as Government vs. Islamic Rebels. That's such a cartoon version of it.
  8. So while it's UN vs anti-UN, it's also seculars vs. progressives.
  9. To be more clear, Sharia would govern all aspects of law according to the rule of the Islamic Courts Union.
  10. The Somali interim govt's legal structure is divided into civil law, religious law, and clan laws. Sharia would try to govern all aspects.
  11. Okay, the "Islamic rebels" in Somalia are militias that are loyal to the Islamic Courts Union, and want Sharia, or religious government.
  12. I guess if the rebels want to make it about religion, those who report on it will abide. Sad, when the dispute is over govt alliances
  13. The rebels use Islam as their motive, but calling them "Islamic rebels" seems to imply that the interim government is fighting Islam. False.
  14. The Somali interim govt is led by a moderate Islamist and is backed by the UN. These "Islamist rebels" are really anti-UN.
  15. I guess I wouldn't have any questions if they weren't always "Islamic rebels." Maybe "Islamic Fundamentalist Rebels" would make more sense.
  16. So if the US sides with the pro-government side, and is against these Islamic Rebels, then where did my Islamic Somali neighbors come from?
  17. I don't think I fully grasp the makeup of Somalia. It's always portrayed as pro-government vs. Islamic rebels. Aren't both sides Islamic?
  18. I used to use relaxing music for my alarm clock. It was too easy to stay in bed. Now my alarm plays the Rocky Theme. Works like a charm.
  19. @kroosh, Awww! Sucks to hear the movie sucks. I thought the show was really good. It just had some...problems.
  20. Just finished watching Dead Like Me. I hate the loose ends. Why was Crystal trying to access George's files on Halloween? Never addressed.
