The repeated lie becomes true, does it?

Again? Never ending tune... "defensive" weapon... No such a thing, it cannot be! Until then there is a weapon that's all, or is the U.S. going dismantle all "offensive" one? :)

The one of most powerful feature of Linux that no other popular OS has it's a software repository. So untaring and manual script start to install something like flash player is redundant and generally obsolete these days.
As to "user friendliness" is another word for "learning curve". All OSes have a different steepness but amount of knowledge to obtain to feel oneself comfortably is roughly the same.
Office Suite is available for Linux... OpenOffice is a fine replacement to MSOffice if you're not bound to its macroses. ;)
What really Linux is lack of is imaging tools like Photoshop and Macromedia Flash. GIMP is a looming threat to Adobe but not here yet. IMHO, of course.

Hm, N.Korea has more urgent business - not to starve to death. Hardly, it's a threat to anyone besides itself.
I mean if the next team in Washington will be more aggressive than Cheney is as you stated hence the chances of funny games kinda "search for WMD", "removing oppressive regime" and other equally amusing stuff in places like Iran or, if madness prevails, Russia are rising.
Military expenditures:
Iran - 2.5%, Russia - 3.9%, and the winner with 4.06% guess who? :) Not impressed? Ok. Let's talk about absolute values of fore mentioned digits. :))

To me it looks like as one of the myth of 90s - Russian government has no control over its nuclear arsenal. Granted, I can't be 100% sure that these places have a flawless security nobody and nowhere can, even US from time to time is losing warheads.

Wrong timing. ABM shield isn't ready yet. Not all Russia's neighbors are ready to be vaporized for US cause... Oh, those filthy russians always have an excuse to keep their lives!

Is it about Miyazaki himself or Ghibli Studio early works? In both cases you're wrong - there're plenty of action/gore-free movies made by studio and personally Miyazaki.
The "boring" factor is a matter of personal perspective, of course. In my list of their three best works two of them are quiet and maybe a little pensive.

Three factual errors:
1) The reasonable persons do care - more weapon less safe.
2) There are no such thing as a "defensive weapon" - it's a bogus.
3) "Putin and his boys" with a majority of Russia population do not think the East Europe is theirs. They considers that East Europe becomes an insecurity zone for Russia.

I doubt it - Cold War needs two to dance. It would be real stupidity from Russia to participate. The proper response shall be much less costly than a missile defense infrastructure, for instance, an exit from middle range treaty.

Great, another little step into the Universe.
For "earthen minds" ;) there are two more "cash wasters" to be angry with: SLHC and JET - comparing to them $450M is nothing.

IMHO, Wars are always about ideology or/and ideology used as a cover-up and a pretext for the resource or economics gains through the war.
