• Windows is designed for Drag and Drop
  I've always used Drag and Drop on Windows / in MS Office (often in conjunction with the Shift and CTRL keys for multiple item selection) so I disagree that Windows is not designed for this functionality. Every user has their own preferences. Mine just happens to be using short-cut keys and drag and drop. A better Hotmail re-design would have been one that allowed multiple options for handling data.
  
  Right now I'm not willing to move away from downloading Hotmail into Outlook because I prefer my mail on my hard drive where I can easily back it up and archive it just in case MS messes up. My backups and Outlook saved me from the disruption mentioned by another poster when Hotmail stopped retaining Sent messages for longer than 30 days. That is because messages Sent through Outlook via Hotmail simply do not save to the web-based Hotmail Sent folder (and vice versa). They remain safely on the Hard Drive and on my USB Flash Drive.

• Adjusting Camera Settings Makes a Huge Difference
  I have to agree. I use a 3.2 mp camera that I received as a freebie. My first shots were deletion quality but once I learned to adjust the camera settings appropriately I've produced simply awesome pictures with great detail. I'm not even tempted to upgrade until prices come down significantly because this works so well. I think the biggest issue with any camera (digital or otherwise) is that most people simply do not know how to use them correctly. The same people that took poor shots with film cameras take poor shots with digital cameras. More Mega Pixels in that scenario is simply pointless.

• What about MySpace Data Security?
  I'm just curious about how a list of MySpace user names and passwords were even available to post. Doesn't this point to a flaw in MySpace Data Security and their ability to protect their user's information? MySpace should take responsibility for the data compromise. They are the real problem, not seclists.org.

• I'll give it to the Neo Cons
  They are definitely consistent. Repeat something often enough and it becomes truth in the minds of the unquestioning followers.
  
  They are the party of the religious. They say it, they repeat it, over and over and it becomes the new truth. Really now!!! Anyone can claim to be Christian but it is their actions that "out" them. People voted along religious lines for this president but would Jesus really endorse torture, secret prisons, human rights abuses, suppression of the truth, pointless deaths of American soldiers, wholesale slaughter of Iraqis, rape of Iraqi women, cover-ups of abuses in Iraq, cover-ups of abuses in Guantanamo, corruption, no-bid Halliburton contracts, sleazy senators, corrupt congressmen? Makes you really wonder about "Thou shall not kill", "Thou shall not steal/covet.... (our pension funds, our privacy, our rights etc.)" and a whole host of other deadly sins.
  
  The president has wartime powers. Well another curious statement that has become "truth" in the minds of the believers (Congress, Senate, Judiciary, Boot-lickers etc.). I guess us non-believers will be banished to the pits of hell, spied on, monitored, electronically shackled for all eternity because that is how long this war will last and how long our rights will be firmly and consistently removed for our own protection.
  
  WMDs, Al-Quaeda, 9/11 - curious how these things were focused with laser precision on a single target - Iraq. I'm still amazed at how many people still believe that Iraq and 9/11 were somehow related. But when you look back through Bush and Cheney's glib speeches it becomes clear how the gullible would come to believe they were associated. Gosh look at how many times 9/11, al-Quaeda, WMDs and Saddam Hussein were consistently mentioned in the same breath. Consistent. I'll give them that.
  
  Tax Breaks are for the American People. Sounded really good didn't it when they talked it up, over and over and over again. They just conveniently forgot to mention that the largest portions of all of the tax breaks went to the George Bush base - Capitalist Pigs, Fund-Raisers, Campaign Contributors. Curious how so few people know that and even worse, even care.
  
  Well they were consistent with their mind-control drivel and we the people were consistently apathetic. Abuse of Power and Apathy make such great bedfellows.
