(they're trying to build another superhighway that runs north and south, from Mexico to Canada.
they're turning the entire US into a New Jersey. New Jersey's Turnpike is a collosal prison, a catastrophe from the perspective of public mental health.)

(note the words: "hints" and "general plan". the headline is going out of its way to make sure that we don't think that IE 8 is a HUGE release.
I think IE8 will be spying on every mouseclick we make, with direct feeds to NSA/CIA/FBI/Homeland Security.)
*MICROSOFT/CIA + YAHOO/CIA = TWICE the EVIL*
Microsoft/CIA and Yahoo/CIA are discussing a merger:
http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/Investing/Dispatch/070504markets.aspx
(one might ask: aren't they already a single entity? After all, if you try to access Yahoo.com with a version of internet explorer that is before 6.0 Yahoo won't let you in.
maybe after this merger we won't be able to access Yahoo's site at all unless we're using internet explorer. (This is how Microsoft handles its site. You can't access a lot of important pages unless you're doing so with IE.
Folks: Microsoft + Yahoo = End of the Internet's anonymity. the government will have the ability to spy on everyone who uses the Web.)

********MISC********
*TENNIS*
Nadal and Federer to face off in the final at Hamburg:
http://www.atptennis.com/1/en/news/news6.asp
http://www.atptennis.com/1/en
(it is excellent that Federer made this final…perhaps whatever took over his mind has been swept away? perhaps he'll make the French Open final afterall?)
*CINEMA*
Black Book (2006), Paul Verhoeven:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0389557/
Black Book is botched, perhaps deliberately so. for the moment i don't want to speculate whether Verhoeven is being paid by the Axis Powers to make a film about the world war II Dutch resistance that discourages audiences from wanting to rebel against authoritorianism.
let's pretend that Verhoeven is merely a mediocre teller of stories. What a film this could have been if it could have had three or four less gun massacres, less misogyny, less gratuitous violence overall and more exploration of the characters.
Carice van Houten is for me the best part of 'Black Book'. van Houten does a very good playing Rachel/Ellis, a Jewish resistance member who is fearless and very quick on her feet. her performance is wasted.
parts of Black Book are as ridiculous as Hogans Heroes. For example, the Dutch Resistance has no trouble driving through checkpoints and into the Gestapo headquarters compound; they even manage to plant a bug in the office of a key Nazi.
it is a pity that a great film wasn't made with source material like this. As it is, i can't particularly recommend it.
if you're looking for good resistance films, see "Kanal" and "Pokolenie", both by Andrzej Wadja.
*QUOTE*
(cited by Fonebone)
Cowards die many times before their deaths ;
The valiant taste of death but once …
—Shakespeare, Julius Caesar , II ii , 32
…Asked how he came back, Federer said, "You’ve got to give yourself a chance, believe that you can come back."
