SwissToni's Place: War, friend only to the undertaker reminded me of something : in recent times, only politicians who have never actually served in a war have started one. Churchill for example, if I remember correctly, came to power during the war. And Hitler did fight in WWI, but was clearly a nutter. Anyone whose been in a war would pretty much bend over backwards to stop one.

On another note, two quick short things, A New York Escorts Confessions is a damn good, but racy, blog.Probably not suitable for any of you who haven't had sex yet. (And if you haven't yet, chances are you probably will not that long from now, even if it does feel like an age).

And finally, thank you Windows. When I'm typing something, I love it when you change windows so I have lost what I just typed. Isn't technology smart enough to put a bit of code labelled "if user = typing > do not switch screens".... ?

That's happened to me before, so I ran Spybot Search and Destroy, Ad-Aware, and Norton Anti-Virus and they fixed the problem. I had a bunch of spyware infecting my machine. Now I run them regularly.

Oh, I run SpyBot and AdAware all the time : I did ask it to open another window, it's not that, its just when you ask it to do something and you're typing, why does it open and switch so you lose what you were typing? Mmm growl.

I think I might understand what you're saying happened. A similar thing would happen to me if I was playing a Yahoo! java-based game and surfing at the same time. If the link was set to open in a new window, it'd open in the Yahoo! game window, knocking me out of the game (which was frustrating when I was playing Sheepshead). I haven't noticed it so much now that I use Firefox. And yeah, MS kinda sucks some times.
