Foreign Policy: Hating America
Foreign Policy: Hating America
On September 12, 2001, Jean-Marie Colombani, the editor of Le Monde, famously wrote, “Today we are all Americans.” Three years on, it seems that we are all anti-Americans. Hostility to the United States is deeper and broader than at any point in the last 50 years.

38.113.198.9? Are you there? eh what?
Oy! Whoever’s at 38.113.198.9 is causing a bit of a stir here …. he hit this server yesterday with 34K hits. I wouldn’t mind if it was a sensible bot that was archiving stuff, but no, he has to visit some pages over 100 times just to make sure he has the correct content!
Anyway, he won’t see this post as all he’ll see if he comes here is the following:
go away and stop hitting this server – email donncha_@_linux.ie if you want access again.

Freeware replacements for commonly warez'ed programs

WTF is Cialis?
Let me see, how many spams do I get about this stuff? I presumed it was some Viagra type thing so I searched for ciallis (yes, I spelt it wrong but the quote below is good so I’m not changing it!) and found nothing but the usual spam sites selling the stuff. From http://www.cialis levitra online.com/cialis.html (replace the spaces with dashes, I’m not helping their Google Rank!)
The drug is virtually side effect free and can be taken without food or alcohol restraints. What’s more is that it has been shown to take effect in as little as 16 minutes. Cialis provides stiff competition to other generic viagra drugs in its category, that only have the capacity to act for four to six hours.
“Stiff competition” indeed!
