Have you noticed how “war” has become such a buzzword that it has lost its meaning? Let’s look at all the non-war wars: Cold War, the War on Drugs, the War on Aids, the War against Terror. Almost every decade has had its own “war” that (1) wasn’t a real war and (2) was a losing battle. We can look at the statistics on drug use and on aids. We’ve seemed to have lost those wars, so we got a new one: the War on Terror. Now, this is a special breed because it has many different terrorists. First, there were the good ole’ terrorists. Then the bioterrorists. The latest form of terrorism is now narcoterrorists. This special breed is a combination of the War on Drugs and the War on Terror. Now we can advance on one enemy in two ways: terror or drugs. At this rate, we’ll have so many wars, there will even be a War for Peace. Try fathoming that.

As Amarok 2 gets closer to a release, it is looking better and better. There’s a new feature in the works that will give Pandora a good fight: music biases.

Today, two great things (according to me, at least) have been released: Firefox 3 and Wine 1.0. Nearly everybody should know what Firefox is, however many probably don’t know about Wine. It is an Open Source project that works as an abstraction layer so Linux (and other POSIX) users can run Windows programs (such as Photoshop) on Linux without needing to have Windows installed.
