Comment on Islamophobia is bad but it is a good step by Andy Skelton

Yes, nationalism is a force equally capable of great good or evil. Ultimately the action of a group is to amplify its leader’s intentions. Even democracies are subject to majority lunacy.

Regrettably, I see the minaret ban as a sign that the world is rediscovering nationalism as an excuse for bad behaviour. The wars of the twentieth century should serve as sufficient warning about nationalism’s destructive nature. We have just lived through a century during which 250 million people were needlessly killed — a number far exceeding the death-toll in any other period of human history. I commend your optimism, but I rather fear there are dark days ahead.

Anyway, for your WordPress plugin MediaRSS, thank you.

Comment on Apple Keyboard (Aluminum) keycap removal by Buckthorn

This is great information- thank you. I spilled some water on my keyboard, and had to take a keypad or two off to dry. Now everything’s working, but one of the keys “clicks” when I press it. It seems to be all the way on, and I’ve replaced it a couple of more times, but can’t get rid of the sound. If anyone has an idea on how to silence this, I’s appreciate hearing from them.

Two years later, we are still very happily using this grinder every day.

I was wondering how good this grinder is holding up since this post? It’s been a while, so hopefully you respond!

I’ve got a Krups grinder and it completely sucks. I’m really leaning towards this grinder as my next big purchase for coffee and I’d like your opinion of it.

Thanks! This was great…. I used a nail file to get under mine, and it came off perfectly… my return key was half stuck!

When you enter an email address like sean@nospam.com, your credibility is suspect. No links for you.

It’s got elements of being a casino, but not if you trade.

read my squidoo lens on it entropia universe

If you put a little money in it and trade well, you’ll make a little money out of it. Some people put in big money, like ship owners, or better, land-owners, and make a decent return. But it takes patience, and few people make a real life living out of it. It’s crazy to think that one can, without investing a great deal into it.

It’s too simple to say that it’s just a casino or a scam.

The problem is that people who are not gamers by nature, think it sucks. Whereas gamers, who are happy to put money into it, think to themselves something along the lines of, I’ll put the equivalent monthly sum that I would if I were taking out a subscription to World of Warcraft.

Awesome advice!!!!!!! I spilled orange juice and champagne on my keyboard and thought I was going to have to buy a new one. I followed this advice removing 29 keys and cleaning them. The keyboard works like a charm without any problems.

Thanks again,

Tony
