Military force can't destroy our atomic program: Iran

Uh, pardon me? We may not be so hot at "nation building" but we sure as Hel know how to blow things up. On the other hand, it might make it easier to get the program going again if the entire landscape was glowing in the dark. But that's assuming the technicians and the centrifuges weren't glowing as well...

I hate to sound so blasted militaristic, but I'm just getting tired of all these third rate fascist dictators running their mouths constantly with such fatuous bullshit. Mullahs with nukes even scare Jacques - and you can bet that nobody in Washington, of either party, will wait for the announcement of a successful test south of Tehran before taking some serious action.

It's called the survival instinct.

Iranian soldiers stand guard on an anti-aircraft machine gun inside the Natanz uranium enrichment facility, 200 miles south of Iran's capital Tehran March 9, 2006. Military strikes against Iran's nuclear sites would not destroy the Islamic republic's uranium enrichment activities, which could be easily moved and restarted, a senior Iranian official said on Monday.

Ballmer Won't Dismiss Idea of Suits Against Linux

A new business model for a new millennium: if you can't beat'em in the market, pound'em in the courts.

According to an interview with Steve Ballmer in Forbes, Microsoft is open to the possibility of filing patent suits against Linux in the interest of their shareholders. Ballmer said: 'Well, I think there are experts who claim Linux violates our intellectual property. I'm not going to comment. But to the degree that that's the case, of course we owe it to our shareholders to have a strategy.' Microsoft filed more than 3000 new applications for software patents in 2005 and already owns more than 4000 patents, including many patents on fundamental, but trivial technologies, like double clicks.
