FTA - "Mark Warner, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton have made no secret where they stand on this important issue that impacts taxpayers of every age and background. Mark Warner advocated and pushed through the largest tax increase in Virginia history. Obama and Clinton support massive tax increases to fund billions in new government spending. In contrast, John McCain understands that Americans already shoulder a heavy tax burden. That's why he advocates pro-growth tax relief policies that entrust working Americans - rather than Washington bureaucrats - to spend their hard-earned money."
Virginians already know they cannot trust Mark Warner on taxes:
"[Warner] was elected governor in 2001 in part by declaring, `I will not raise taxes. I will not raise taxes. I will not raise taxes'; he then proceeded to make his seminal achievement as Virginia's chief executive a $1.5 billion tax increase.""

Ah, yes - the eeeeeeeevil US ... only the single biggest donor to the World Food Program. In fact, donating 5x more than #2 ... and check out the dismal numbers from OPEC nations! (As much as I despise the UN, uh - come on!)

FTA - "One of the most serious issues, says Geoff Huston, is the slow deployment of IPv6. Even though the IPv4 address pool is expected to be exhausted in two to three years and IPv6 (which provides a vast address range) was finalised a decade ago. Huston notes that "the level of industry interest in IPv6 deployment is scant," with the use of Network Address Translation (NAT) or application level gateways being used as workarounds instead."

FTA - "This Olympics has set a goal of being a "High-tech Olympics," something that will be completely lost on foreign visitors. They probably won't notice that local mobile-phone service is actually better than in their home countries because they'll be roaming. For people with 3G phones, sorry -- no support for you. You'll have 3G if you were lucky enough to get one of the 15,000 3G phones that Samsung gave to the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG). To the committee, that makes good on China's promise to have 3G for the Olympics, even though it's not available to the public and supports a homegrown Chinese standard not compatible with foreign systems.
China invested hundreds of millions of dollars to build one of the world's largest IPv6 networks, but it has little traffic because its use is currently restricted to being an experimental network or for academics. As for the Internet, China promised that it won't block Web sites during the Games. Seeing will be believing.
Beijing wanted the Olympics to show the world how far it has come after almost 30 years of reform. It is true: Beijing has come a long, long way, and it should be proud of that. But the world will also see it still has a long, long way to go."
