qdog, $83bn $6bn Arms sales to the world, 1991 to 1998. Guess which one is China and which the USA. Guess which ones are going to kill more Americans. abcnews.go.com That's re the worry you had a while ago about the evil Chinese commies arming aliens with Scud missiles and you were saying that the arms supplier should be responsible for the deaths from the use of those weapons. Guess which arms supplier will get the bigger damages bill if that idea was adopted. It will be funny if the USA victims sue the USA suppliers in USA courts. Unicom is planning sale of $1bn of stock to finance CDMA expansion. Qualcomm has $1.1bn dollars hanging around looking for something to do. I wonder if they'll get together somehow. Let's hope that Bill and Jiang can sort a few things out when they have a chat in Auckland. They should go out to Kawau Island in the Hauraki Gulf; get away from the psychosis of Pennsylvannia Avenue and Tienanmen Square. Bill can pay a dignified amount to compensate for the bombing of China's embassy. Bill can warn Jiang that military action against Taiwan will be repulsed with bonus damage to prevent future ideas of attack. They can both learn what Free Trade means and Mike Moore [the new WTO CEO, the creator of the 'lamburger' [seriously, he did] can arrange the WTO club rules with China in. Meanwhile, get ready for some tailspins in the stock markets. Oil popped up to over double the lows of December and we are all going to be shipping a LOT more money to OPEC, BP Oil [who own Alaskan Oil and North Sea Oil] and others. Linux VS Windows2000 is fascinating. Will the mob in a tribal uprising of collectivist voluntary mutual self-interest defeat the pyramid of power? Will the government be happy to see the tax base eroded = there are no taxes from the free labours of the co-operative enterprise where no money changes hands! Will this evolve to the battle of good and evil in cyberspace with Web1 and Web2 fighting for supremacy as each develops its own self awareness and determination to fight for survival? Already, people are being subsumed into service of The Web; creating it, nurturing it, defending it, with no limit to the creation of the new consciousness of The Web. You want to worry about a monopoly, well THAT's a monopoly you could worry about. A few bucks for $ill is going to look trivial compared with the power of The Web. It will know all, it will be faster than thought, it will monitor everything, it will defend itself, it will reward humans who enhance "ITs" being, power and survival. I guess the Polish soldiers were arguing as to who should have the gray stallion and whether the horseshoe monopoly was appropriate and whether pikes or swords were superior as the Panzer Blitzkrieg revved their engines. Maybe Linux will be the ALLIES and Windows will be the NAZIS. Or maybe there is no good and bad, just what is and what is not, competition for mates and supplies. Those who found and defended a mate and an ecological niche and those who failed to do so. Qualcomm has chosen to join the WK team with Windows as the system. Creating and defending the WWWeb [Windows Wireless Web]. Me too! Let the Games Begin! Mqurice PS: Meanwhile Xena Albright attended an emotional ceremony in remembrance of the USA embassies bombed in Tanzania and Kenya. The USA vowed to hunt down and capture the masterminds of the twin 'acts of evil'. Meanwhile, China, still not happy about their embassy, in an eerie parallel said: "We miss them still and rage against their loss. We cannot accept their deaths, because we cannot accept injustice. Today we vow that China will not be intimidated. We will not retreat from the world. We will not rest until every one of those responsible for the embassy bombing has been brought to justice." No, hang on. That was Xena talking about HER embassies. That's right, Chinese don't value people like Americans do. Apparently they don't have pain receptors in their brains. Weird creatures! Something to do with extra endorphins, which is why the Opium Wars were an issue. They should just get over it and get on with buying cdmaOne from Motorola and Lucent. kizuna.cwru.edu Plus €a Change Xena here: dailynews.yahoo.com
