Oh ;P Seriously though, the use of red messages in programming forums is amusing. When people get their question answered, they click on 5. It's quicker than answering with a full fledge Thanks, let alone they are willing to spend that enormous amount of time required to write a respectful Thanks. Back to real work : D-19.

It will take a bit of time, but I think this will happen. I'd also like to see a strong African contingent. Perhaps when there is more variety in who holds power we can work on a more realistic global society.

I know of very little in this regard that has a great effect on me personally. My guess is that policies are generally favorable towards the US, because there is a feeling that countries need to "keep in our favor".

Of course not. However, you should not comment unless you have participated in politics or religion, unless you knowingly do it as an outsider who is asking to have something explained, not claiming to know.

David Wulff wrote: have you ever considered letting Microsoft decided the order and importance of the updates to their software? One would expect that to be a reasonable process. Unfortunately the Update function doesn't work that way. Last night's batch, for instance, contained in the preselected list of updates at least two that were exclusive downloads. Each must be downloaded separately and installed (with a reboot) in order to minimize the damage to the system. A more rational process would display the entire list, but select only one of the exclusive updates so that a person merely following directions and clicking "here" would not get into trouble. On restarting the system, the installer should then return to the Update site and display the next such download, continuing until there are only non-exclusive updates remaining. These could then safely be preselected safely. "When in danger, fear, or doubt, run in circles, scream and shout!" - Lorelei and Lapis Lazuli Long
